Question

Steam power plant shown in figure is
operating at steady state with water as the working
fluid. The mass flow rate of the water circulating
through the components is 50 kg/s. Determine:
a) thermal efficiency of the actual cycle
b) Carnot cycle efficiency (justify any
assumptions you make in calculating ηCarnot)
c) isentropic turbine efficiency
d) isentropic pump efficiency
e) mass flow rate of the cooling water, in kg/s.
f) rates of entropy production, each in kW/K, for
the turbine and steam generator
