Conclusion:

From the Table A-5, “Saturated water-temperature Table” obtains the value of the enthalpy (h1) and specific volume (v1) at state 1 corresponding to the pressure of 20 kPa is 251.42 kJ/kg and 0.001017 m3/kg.

Substitute 0.001017 m3/kg for v1, 20 kPa for P1, and 1400 kPa for P2 in Equation (I).

wpI,in=(0.001017 m3/kg)(1400 kPa−20 kPa)=(0.001017 m3/kg)(1380 kPa)=1.40346 kPa⋅m3/kg×1 kJ1 kPa⋅m3=1.40346 kJ/kg

≅1.4035 kJ/kg

Substitute 251.42 kJ/kg for h1, and 1.4035 kJ/kg for wpI,in in Equation (II).

h2=251.42 kJ/kg+1.4035 kJ/kg=252.8 kJ/kg

From the Table A-5, “Saturated water-temperature Table” obtains the value of the enthalpy (h4) and specific volume (v4) at state 4 corresponding to the pressure of 1400 kPa is 829.96 kJ/kg and 0.001149 m3/kg.

Substitute 0.001149 m3/kg for v4, 1400 kPa for P4, and 5000 kPa for P5 in Equation (III).

wpII,in=(0.001149 m3/kg)(5000 kPa−1400 kPa )=(0.001149 m3/kg)(3600 kPa)=4.1364 kPa⋅m3/kg×1 kJ1 kPa⋅m3=4.1364 kJ/kg

≅4.14 kJ/kg

Substitute 829.96 kJ/kg for h3, and 4.14 kJ/kg for wpII,in in Equation (IV).

h5=829.96 kJ/kg+4.14 kJ/kg=834.1 kJ/kg

Refer Table A-5, “Saturated water-temperature Table”, and write the enthalpy at state 12 at pressure of 245 kPa using an interpolation method.

h3=h12=hf@245 kPa (XIII)

Here, enthalpy of saturation liquid at pressure of 245 kPa is hf@245 kPa.

Write the formula of interpolation method of two variables.

Here, the variables denote by x and y is pressure and specific enthalpy at state 12 respectively.

Pressure at state 12 kPa	Specific enthalpy at state 12 h12(kJ/kg)
225 (x1)	520.71 (y1)
245 (x2)	(y2=?)
250 (x3)	535.35 (y3)

Substitute 225 kPa, 245 kPa, and 250 kPa for x1, x2 and x3 respectively, 520.71 kJ/kg for y1 and 535.35 kJ/kg for y3 in Equation (XIV).

y2=[(245−225)kPa×(535.35−520.71)kJ/kg(250−225)kPa+520.71 kJ/kg]=532.422 kJ/kg≅532 kJ/kg

Substitute 532 kJ/kg for hf@245 kPa in Equation (XIII).

h12=532 kJ/kg

Here, the throttle valve operation of specific enthalpy at the state 13 is equal to specific enthalpy at the state 12.

Substitute 830 kJ/kg for h4, 532kJ/kg for h3, and 3400 kJ/kg for h7 in Equation (VI).

y=(830 kJ/kg−532 kJ/kg)(3400 kJ/kg−532 kJ/kg)=(298 kJ/kg)(2868 kJ/kg)=0.1039

Substitute 252.8 kJ/kg for h2, 0.1039 for y, 532kJ/kg for h3, and 3154 kJ/kg for h10 in Equation (VIII).

z=(1−0.1039)(532 kJ/kg−252.8 kJ/kg)(3154 kJ/kg−532 kJ/kg)=(250.1911 kJ/kg)(2622 kJ/kg)=0.09542

Substitute 3894 kJ/kg for h6, 834.1 kJ/kg for h5, 0.1039 for y, 3692 kJ/kg for h9, and 3349 kJ/kg for h8 in Equation (IX).

qin=(3894−834.1)kJ/kg+(1−0.1039)(3692−3349)kJ/kg=3059.9 kJ/kg+(0.8961)×(343kJ/kg)=3059.9 kJ/kg+307.36 kJ/kg=3367 kJ/kg

Substitute 3894 kJ/kg for h6, 3400 kJ/kg for h7, 0.09542 for z, 0.1039 for y, 3692 kJ/kg for h9, 3349 kJ/kg for h8, 3154 kJ/kg for h10, and 2620 kJ/kg for h11 in Equation (X).

wT,out=[(3894 kJ/kg)−(0.1039)(3400 kJ/kg)−(1−0.1039)(3349 kJ/kg)+(1−0.1039)(3692 kJ/kg)−(0.09542)(3154 kJ/kg)−(1−0.1039−0.09542)(2620 kJ/kg)]=[(3894 kJ/kg)−(353.26 kJ/kg)−(0.8961)(3349 kJ/kg)+(0.8961)(3692 kJ/kg)−(0.09542)(3154 kJ/kg)−(0.80068)(2620 kJ/kg)]=[(3894 kJ/kg)−(353.26 kJ/kg)−(3001.039 kJ/kg)+(3308.401 kJ/kg)−(300.9547 kJ/kg)−(2097.782 kJ/kg)]=1449 kJ/kg

Substitute 1449 kJ/kg for wT,out, 4.14 kJ/kg for wpII,in, 1.41 kJ/kg for wpI,in, and 0.1039 for y in Equation (XI).

wnet=1449 kJ/kg−(1−0.1039)(1.41 kJ/kg)−(4.14 kJ/kg)=(1449 kJ/kg)−(1.2635 kJ/kg)−(4.14 kJ/kg)=1443.596 kJ/kg≅1444 kJ/kg

Substitute 100 kg/s for m˙ and 1444 kJ/kg for wnet in Equation (XII).

W˙net=(100 kg/s)×(1444 kJ/kg)=144400 kW=144400 kW×(1 MW1000 kW)=144.4 MW

Thus, the net power output of the cycle is 144.4 MW_.

Expert Solution

To determine

The minimum flow rate of the cooling water.

Answer to Problem 111RP

The minimum flow rate of the cooling water is 1311 kg/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the formula for heat rejected from the condenser.

The mass flow rate cooling water will be minimum when the cooling water exit temperature is a maximum as

Tw,2=T1=Tsat@20 kPa=60.1°C.

Write the formula for an energy balance on the condenser.

m˙qout=m˙wcp,w(Tw,2−Tw,1)m˙w=m˙qoutcp,w(Tw,2−Tw,1) (XVI)

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.1039 for y, 0.09542 for z, 2620 kJ/kg for h11, 532 kJ/kg for h13, and 251.4 kJ/kg for h1 in Equation (XV).

qout=[(1−0.1039−0.09542)(2620 kJ/kg)+(0.09542)(532 kJ/kg)−(1−0.1039)(251.4 kJ/kg)]=[(2097.782 kJ/kg)+(50.76344 kJ/kg)−(225.2795 kJ/kg)]=1923 kJ/kg

Substitute 100 kg/s for m˙, 1923 kJ/kg for qout, 4.18 kJ/kg⋅K for cp,w, 60.1 K for Tw,2, and 25 K for Tw,1 in Equation (XVI).

m˙w=(100 kg/s)(1923 kJ/kg)(4.18 kJ/kg⋅K)(60.1−25)K=(192300 kJ/s)(4.18 kJ/kg⋅K)(35.1)K=1310.67 kg/s≅1311 kg/s

Thus, the minimum flow rate of the cooling water is 1311 kg/s_.
