Question
Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.? and 1000 °F.
The condenser pressure is 2 lbf/in.2 The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 10° Btu/h. Cooling water
experiences a temperature increase from 60 °F to 76 °F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through
the condenser. Determine the energy input to the working fluid is provided by heat transfer from hot
gaseous products of combustion, which cool as a separate stream from 1490 to 380 °F with a negligible
pressure drop. The gas stream can be modeled as air as an ideal gas. Determine, in Btu/h, the rate of exergy
destruction in the
(a) heat exchanger unit of the steam generator.
(b) turbine and pump.
(c) condenser.
Also calculate the net rate at which exergy is carried away
by the cooling water passing through the condenser, in
Btu/h. Let To = 60 °F. po = 14.7 Ibf/in.2
