Answer in kJ/kg
Suppose that a power plant operates on a Carnot vapor cycle and uses water as the working substance. Saturated liquid water enters the boiler at a pressure of 10 MPa and leaves as saturated water vapor. Then it enters the steam turbine and leaves as saturated mixture at 20 kPa. Determine the heat added to the working substance in the boiler.
A Carnot cycle using steam in a closed system operatesbetween 700 ◦C and 500 ◦C. During the isothermal step the steam expands from 20 bar to 10 bar.Perform the energy and entropy balances, calculate the efficiency, and compare to the theoreticalvalue.12

- A boiler plant incorporates an economizer and air preheater, and generates steam at 80 bar and 440 ˚C with fuel of heating value 34500 kJ/kg burned at a rate of 490 kg/h. The temperature of feed water is raised from 32 ˚C to 138 ˚C in the economizer and the flue gases are cooled at the same time from 390 ˚C to 215 ˚C. The flue gases then enter the air preheater in which the temperature of combustion air is raised by 82 ˚C. A forced draught fan delivers the air to the air preheater at a pressure of 1.01 bar and a temperature of 20 ˚C with a pressure rise across the fan of 185 mm of water. The power input to the fun is 6.1 kW and it has a mechanical efficiency of 80%. Neglect heat losses and take Cp=1.01 kJ/kg.K for flue gases and 4.182 kJ/kg.k for water.
