Q1// The steam at 100 bar, 500 °C is supplied to a steam turbine of 30MW output power. The vacuum reading on the condenser is 710 mmHg when the barometer reads 760 mmHg. The work developed is equivalent to isentropic enthalpy drop during expansion in the turbine. The steam coming out of the turbine is condensed using river water for cooling. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water are 20 °C and 30 °C respectively. The condensate comes out of the condenser as a saturated liquid and the over all heat transfer coefficient is 470W/m. °C. Calculate assuming 100% vacuum efficiency : 1. The mass flow rate of steam supplied to the turbine. 2. The mass flow rate of cooling water. 3. The heat transfer area of the condenser.

Q1// The steam at 100 bar, 500 °C is supplied to a steam turbine of 30MW output power. The vacuum
reading on the condenser is 710 mmHg when the barometer reads 760 mmHg. The work developed is
equivalent to isentropic enthalpy drop during expansion in the turbine. The steam coming out of the turbine
is condensed using river water for cooling. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water are 20 °C
and 30 °C respectively. The condensate comes out of the condenser as a saturated liquid and the over all
heat transfer coefficient is 470W/m. °C. Calculate assuming 100% vacuum efficiency:
1. The mass flow rate of steam supplied to the turbine.
2. The mass flow rate of cooling water.
3. The heat transfer area of the condenser.
