There is an ideal thermoelectric plant, which operates in a combined cycle of reheating and regeneration to produce a net power of 8MW. It is known that steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8MPa and 550°C and expands to 0.6MPa, at which pressure some of the steam is fed to an open feedwater heater and the remainder is reheated at 550°C. The superheated steam is expanded in the low pressure turbine to 10kPa. Indicate the flow of steam entering the turbine and the diameter in the pipe connecting the turbine and the condenser if the maximum velocity at that point is 100m/s.

There is an ideal
thermoelectric
plant, which operates in a combined
cycle of reheating and regeneration
to produce a net power of 8MW. It
is known that steam enters the
high-pressure turbine at 8MPa and
550°C and expands to 0.6MPa, at
which pressure some of the steam
is fed to an open feedwater heater
and the remainder is reheated at
550°C. The superheated steam is
expanded in the low pressure
turbine to 10kPa. Indicate the flow
of steam entering the turbine and
the diameter in the pipe connecting
the turbine and the condenser if the
maximum velocity at that point is
100m/s.
