Chapter 10.9, Problem 70P
A large food-processing plant requires 1.5 lbm/s of saturated or slightly superheated steam at 140 psia, which is extracted from the turbine of a cogeneration plant. The boiler generates steam at 800 psia and 1000°F at a rate of 10 lbm/s, and the condenser pressure is 2 psia. Steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid. It is then mixed with the feedwater at the same pressure, and this mixture is pumped to the boiler pressure. Assuming both the pumps and the turbine have isentropic efficiencies of 91 percent, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the boiler and (b) the power output of the cogeneration plant.

Steam is generated in the boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 MPa and 450C at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. In normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of0.5 MPa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. Steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. In this mode, no steam passes through the condenser, which operates at 20 kPa. Determine the h4 at the pump (after the process heater) outlet in kJ/kg.
