Q10: Superheat power cycle generates steam at 100 bar and 500°C. The steam expands through the turbine down to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar and leaves as 85% dry. The boiler burning fuel with a heating value of 44 MJ/kg. The condenser is cooled with water that suffers a temperature rise of 25°C. For these operating conditions determine: a. Isentropic efficiency of the turbine. b. Steam generation rate. c. Mass of fuel burnt. d. Cooling water mass circulation rate. e. Cycle thermal efficiency. Taking into account the pump work assuming same isentropic efficiency as that of turbine and an output of 57 MW. Take for cooling water that Cw = 4.2 kJ/kg°C. (Ans: 0.893, 50 kg/s, 3.6 kg/s, 968 kg/s, 35.9%)

Question
Q10: Superheat power cycle generates steam at 100 bar and 500°C. The steam expands
through the turbine down to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar and leaves as 85% dry. The
boiler burning fuel with a heating value of 44 MJ/kg. The condenser is cooled with water
that suffers a temperature rise of 25°C. For these operating conditions determine:
a. Isentropic efficiency of the turbine.
b. Steam generation rate.
c. Mass of fuel burnt.
d. Cooling water mass circulation rate.
e. Cycle thermal efficiency.
Taking into account the pump work assuming same isentropic efficiency as that of turbine
and an output of 57 MW. Take for cooling water that Cw = 4.2 kJ/kg°C.
(Ans: 0.893, 50 kg/s, 3.6 kg/s, 968 kg/s, 35.9%)
