Steam enters the turbine of a cogeneration plant at 6 MPa and 550 degrees C . One-third of the steam is extracted from the turbine at 1400 kPa pressure for process heating. The remaining steam continues to expand to 20 kPa. The extracted steam is then condensed and mixed with feedwater at constant pressure and the mixture is pumped to the boiler pressure of 6 MPa The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler is 30 kg/s. Disregarding any pressure drops and heat losses in the piping, and assuming the turbine and the pump to be isentropic, determine (a) the net power produced(b) the utilization factor of the plant, (c) the exergy destruction associated with the process heating, and (d ) the entropy generation associated with the process in the boiler. Assuming a source temperature of 1000 K and a sink temperature of 298 K

In a power plant steam, steam is continuously extracted
from the turbine and in a heat exchanger there is a condensation of the extracted steam. The energy released during condensation of steam is used to operate a heat engine. A heat engine receives thermal energy at a rate of 1200 kJ/min from condensing steam and rejects waste heat to a lake at 25°C at a rate of 850 kJ/min. Determine the lowest possible condensing steam temperature.

- A high pressure steam turbine receives steam from a boiler under unknown conditions. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 75% and it produces 1MW. The high pressure turbine outlet steam is at 1.4 MPa under saturated conditions. The high pressure turbine exhaust supplies 1000kg/min for use in a process, in addition to an unknown flow of steam that follows the path, being supplied to a low pressure turbine that produces 820kW when it releases steam at 10kPa and has a isentropic efficiency of 60%. The steam that was used for the process (out of the high pressure turbine) after being used, returns to the cycle taken by the pump, which also takes the outlet of the condenser and does so at 10kPa as saturated liquid.

- 1. Consider a two-stage turbine with heat addition between the stages as shown in the figure below. Steam at 8 MPa and 500 °C enters the first stage and exits at 0.8 MPa. Before entering the second stage, steam passes through a heat exchanger and its temperature is increased to 400 °C. The pressure of steam at the exit of the second stage is 10 kPa. Both turbines are adiabatic and have isentropic efficiencies of 0.9. The power output of the second stage turbine is 5 MW. Calculate the power output of the first stage turbine.

(a) Considering the necessary assumptions determine the power output of the turbine in kW. (b) Discuss the conditions for a turbine to operate in an isentropic condition. Compare intuitively the power output of a real turbine and isentropic turbine. (c) The entropy of an actual turbine process increases as a result of irreversibility. To maintain the entropy of the seam at the exit at lower value, it is recommended to use cold water and circulate in the turbine so that the entropy and enthalpy remain at low value when it leaves the turbine, and hence the work output will increase. How do you evaluate thisrecommendation in improving the efficiency of the turbine?arrow_forwardConsider the conditions of Problem 1, homework 5 (it is repeated below) and that the surroundings are at a temperature of 4 C. Instead of mixing the two fluids together consider the following proposal. Heat is allowed to flow from the 3 Kg mass of water through a Carnot heat engine and is rejected to the cooler mass which acts as the low temperature thermal reservoir. Determine the maximum amount of work that could be performed by the heat engine, the entropy produced, and the exergy destroyed in the 3 Kg mass during this operation. Also, determine the total entropy produced and exergy destroyed in the total system. In this case the temperature and internal energy of the mass of water is changing unlike the infinite heat reservoir case. Since the temperature of both the high temperature and low temperature heat input is changing, the Carnot efficiency is also changing.
