Question

The Siemans SST-400 GEO steam turbine is employed in the cycle shown above. Operational information is are shown in the table. you can assume the turbine is adiabatic and you can ignore the KE & PE terms. you can assume that the pump operation is isentropic. the surrounding temperature is 25°C

based on the table information:

a.Calculate the mass flow of steam [96.5kg/s]

b.Find the isentropic efficiency of the turbine [0.836]

c.What is the rate of entropy generated (kW/K) in the turbine? [28.26kW/K]

d.Calculate the thermal efficiency of the power plant [0.199]
