Chapter 10.9, Problem 72P
Consider a cogeneration power plant modified with regeneration. Steam enters the turbine at 9 MPa and 400°C and expands to a pressure of 1.6 MPa. At this pressure, 35 percent of the steam is extracted from the turbine, and the remainder expands to 10 kPa. Part of the extracted steam is used to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the extracted steam is used for process heating and leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid at 1.6 MPa. It is subsequently mixed with the feedwater leaving the feedwater heater, and the mixture is pumped to the boiler pressure. Assuming the turbines and the pumps to be isentropic, show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler for a net power output of 25 MW.

Superheated water vapor enters the turbine at 5Mpa and 4000C. The water leaves the condenser as saturated liquid at a pressure of 30kPa, and the turbine efficiency is 91%. The net power output of the cycle is 100MW. Determine the thermal efficiency.
Asnwer all the five questions.
Steam is generated in the boiler of a cogeneration plant at 8 MPa and 400C at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. In normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.4 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 15 kPa.
Draw the schematic and T-S diagrams. Label the points by setting point 1 at the condenser outlet, point 2 at the 1st pump (after the condenser) outlet, point 3 at the process heater outlet, point 4 at the 2nd pump (after the process heater) outlet, point 5 at the boiler inlet (after mixing chamber), point 6 at the boiler outlet, point 7 at the process heater inlet (no throttle valve), and point 8 at the condenser inlet.
