Chapter 10.9, Problem 117RP
Show that the thermal efficiency of a combined gas–steam power plant ηcc can be expressed as
where ηg = Wg /Qin and ηs = Ws/Qg,out are the thermal efficiencies of the gas and steam cycles, respectively. Using this relation, determine the thermal efficiency of a combined power cycle that consists of a topping gas-turbine cycle with an efficiency of 40 percent and a bottoming steam-turbine cycle with an efficiency of 30 percent.

A 15 cm-OD pipe is buried with its centerline 1.25 m below the surface of the ground
[k of soil is 0.35 W/(m K)]. An oil having a density of 800 kg/m³ and a specific heat of 2.1 kJ/(kg
K) flows in the pipe at 5.6 L/s. Assuming a ground surface temperature of 5°C and a pipe wall
temperature of 95°C, estimate the length of pipe in which the oil temperature decreases by
5.5°C.

As the steam passes to the turbine, the temperature drops to 496°C before it enters the turbine due to a heat loss through the pipe's insulation. The pressure drop in the pipe connecting the boiler to the turbine is negligible. The steam then passes through an adiabatic turbine and exits at 10 kPa. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and is delivering 1000 MW of power. Determine the following.
