Working pressure of the plant is between 6 MPa and 10 kPa for the boiler pressure and condensate pressure. The steam is extracted at 0.5 MPa for process heater and feedwater heater. The superheated srteam enters the turbine at 500°C at a rate of 25 kg/s and expands to the condensate pressure of 0.5 MPa. There is 60 percent of the steam is extracted from the turbine at the pressure of 0.5 MPa, and the remainder expands to a pressure of 10 kPa. Part of the extracted steam is used to heat feedwater and the rest of the extracted steam is used for process heating. The steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid at 0.5 MPa. It is subsequently mixed with the feedwater leaving the feedwater heater, and the mixture is pumped to the boiler pressure. The steam in the condenser is cooled and condensed by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the adiabatic condenser at a rate of 470 kg/s.

3.) A steam power plant uses the ideal Reheat-Regenerative Rankine cycle where the steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 4 MPa and 300C. It partially expands to 600 kPa where some steam is extracted for feedwater heating while the rest is reheated to the same temperature. After expanding again, it enters the condenser at 10 kPa.

Biomass is used as fuel to power the following cogeneration plant on a school. The turbine drives an electric generator to produce electricity, and part of the steam is extracted to provide heating to campus buildings. The boiler provides 106 kg/h of steam at 6 MPa, 520 °C, of which 4x105 kg/h is extracted between the first and second turbine stages at 1 MPa and diverted to the building heating load. Condensate returns from the building heating load at 0.95 MPa, 115 °C, and it is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 0.95 MPa. The entire flow is then pumped to the boiler pressure. Saturated liquid at 6 kPa leaves the condenser. The turbine stages and the pumps operate with isentropic efficiencies of 89 and 85%, respectively. The efficiency of the electric generator is 93% for converting turbine mechanical power into electricity. Calculate the heating load in kJ/h. Calculate the electric power generated in MWe.

Hi, I need help with this practice problem for Thermodynamics
A power station consists of a four-unit coal fired power station, having a combined capacity of 2,880 MW. The current efficiency of each unit is around 37.7%. You are asked to improve the thermal efficiency of each unit by lowering the condenser pressure. To simplify this task, assume that each unit operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. If the superheated vapour enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500 ֯C and is cooled in the condenser at a lower pressure 10 kPa, determine the quality of the steam at the turbine exit and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for one unit.
