Question

Transcribed Image Text:**GIVEN:**
1. Water in Rankine cycle.
2. Steam leaves steam generator at 1500 lbf/in² and 1095°F.
3. Because of heat transfer and friction, pressure and temperature at turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in² and 1000°F.
4. Pump and turbine have 90% of isentropic efficiencies.
5. Pressure at inlet of condenser = 2 lbf/in². Due to friction, condensate exits condenser at 1.5 lbf/in² and 105°F.
6. Condensate is pumped to 1600 lbf/in² and then enters steam generator.
7. Net power output of whole cycle = 1 x 10⁹ Btu/hour.
8. The cooling water temperature increases from 60°F to 76°F with very little pressure drop as it flows through condenser.
**DETERMINE:**
1. Mass flow rate of steam in lb/s.
2. Rate of heat transfer in Btu/s to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.
3. % thermal efficiency.
4. Mass flow rate of cooling water in lb/s.
