A power plant using a Rankine power generation cycle and steam operates at a temperature of 81.25°C in the condenser, a pressure of 5 MPa in the boiler and a maximum boiler temp of 775°C. The cycle operates at steady state with a mass flow rate of 2.5kg/s. Use the steam tables in the appendix of Sandler (p. 917 to 925). a.) Draw out the cycle, calculate the work required for the pump, the work output by the turbine, the heat into the boiler, and the heat out of the condenser. b.) What is the efficiency of this power plant? c.) If the turbine was only 89% efficient but still adiabatic (only generates 89% of the calculated work from part b), what is the overall efficiency of the cycle?
A power plant involves thermodynamic cycles to generate electrical power. At the first stage, water is pumped in a saturated state from a pressure of 0.8 bar to 20 bar. The water then goes to the boiler at constant pressure and exits the boiler with a temperature of 450°C. In this condition, the steam is then expanded in a steam turbine isentropically so that the pressure returns to 0.8 bar and is cooled in a condenser. Specify: a) Pump work. b) Incoming heat given to the boiler. c) Turbine work. d) Heat discharged by the condenser. e) Thermal efficiency of the cycle.

An aging boiler in the local provider's facility provides 4 x 108 kg of process steam at 20 bar. Consider the feasibility of a new system to meet the need of the steam and electricity. This system will use turbine to produce the electricity and a heat- recovery steam generator to produce the steam. Write a technical proposal for your proposed system.

Which statement/s are true? Heat is transferred to a system by either an air-sourced Carnot heat pump, an electrical resistance heater or a heat source at temperature marginally higher than the system temperature. The loss of Carnot Work Potential (Exergy destruction, or T0Sloss term) is minimum when heat is added by the air-sourced Carnot heat pump. Heat is transferred to a system either by an 100% efficient electrical resistance heater, or an 100% efficient isothermal heat source. The loss of Carnot Work Potential (Exergy destruction, or T0Sloss term) is zero when heat is added by the isothermal heat source.
