Textbook Question

Chapter 10.9, Problem 66P

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and the low-pressure turbine at 1 MPa and 500°C. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, and that of the pump is 95 percent. Determine the exergy destruction associated with the heat addition process and the expansion process. Assume a source temperature of 1600 K and a sink temperature of 285 K. Also, determine the exergy of the steam at the boiler exit. Take P0 = 100 kPa.

Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent for both the turbine and the pump, determine the quality ofthe steam at the turbine exit, the thermal efficiency of the cycle, specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) at the condenser, and actual Qin (kJ/kg).

In a steam plant operating according to an ideal Rankine cycle, water vapor enters the turbine at a pressure of 3.0 MPa and a temperature of 600 oC and exits the turbine with a dryness of 100 kPa and 0.8. By removing heat from the condenser to the surrounding environment, the water is provided to be saturated liquid at 100 kPa. In this case, what would be the amount of heat released from the Condenser to the surrounding environment per unit mass?

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple Ideal Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 120 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 550° c and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 15 kPa by running cooling water from a nearby source the condenser at a rate of 3000 kg/s. Determine the Enthalpy at the outlet of the pump h2
