Consider a modified cogeneration power plant with regeneration. Steam enters the turbine at 6MPa and 450ºC at a rate of 20Kg/s, and expands to a pressure of 0.4MPa. At this pressure 60% of the water vapour is extracted from the turbine, and the rest is expanded to a pressure of 10KPa. Part of the extracted steam is used to heat the feed water in an open feed water heater. The rest of the extracted vapour is used for process heating, and leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid at 0.4MPa. It is then mixed with the feed water leaving the feed water heater, and the mixture is pumped to boiler pressure. The vapour in the condenser is cooled and condensed by cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the adiabatic condenser at a rate of 463Kg/s. Consider the ideal equipment and demonstrate the enthalpy values shown
a) The temperature rise of the river cooling water in the condenser is: (R=8°C)

- A power plant has an efficiency of 36 percent with 15 percent of the waste heat being released to the atmosphere as stack heat and the other 85 percent taken away in the cooling water (see Figure below). Instead of drawing water from a river, heating it, and returning it to the river, this plant uses an evaporative cooling tower wherein heat is released to the atmosphere as cooling water is vaporized. At what rate must makeup water be provided from the river to offset the water lost in the cooling tower?arrow_forwardA gas turbine power plant has an output of 12,500kW with electrical and mechanical loss of 900kW.
