The work output neglecting the feed-pump work ii The work required for the feed pump iii The heat transferred to the condenser
In the plant, steam was supplied, dry saturated at 40 bar to a turbine and the condenser pressure was 0.035 bar. In the application:
Produce specific Steady Flow Energy Equations based on stated assumptions in plant equipment.
Include in your solution a brief description of the purpose and operating principles of each piece of
plant equipment, state assumptions for every equation and define all parameters used. If the plant
operated on the Rankine cycle, calculate, per kilogram of steam:
i The work output neglecting the feed-pump work
ii The work required for the feed pump
iii The heat transferred to the condenser cooling water, and the amount of cooling water
required through the condenser if the temperature rise of the water is assumed to be 5.5K
iv The heat supplied
v The Rankine efficiency
vi The specific steam consumption
d) For the same steam conditions, calculate the efficiency and the specific steam consumption for a
Carnot cycle operating with wet steam.
