A power plant gets water from a dam a height of 100 meters at the rate of 1000cubic meters per minute. If the overall efficiency of the plant is 75%, what is the kWoutput of the plant?
A: Derive the steady flow energy equation and reduce it for
a. A turbine (Reversible Process)
b. A pump (Reversible Process)
c. A nozzle (Reversible Process)
d. A throttling (Irreversible Process)
Problem (5.2) An impulse turbine has a number of pressure stages
(pressure compounded turbine). The nozzle angle in the first stage is 20°
and the blade exit angle =30°. The blade speed =120 m/s and the velocity
of steam leaving nozzle =300 m/s. If the blade velocity coefficient =0.8
and the nozzle efficiency =0.85, find the work done per kg steam and the
stage efficiency. If the steam supplied to the first stage is at 2 MPa and
250°C and the condenser pressure =0.01 MPa estimate the number of
stages required.
