A certain Geothermal Power Plant shows that 1,700,000 kg/hr of pressurized ground water is available at 17.5MPa and 330°C. The water will be throttled to a pressure of 1.7MPa to produce wet steam and this mixture will be passed through a water separator to remove the water droplets so that saturated steam at 1.7MPa is available at the entrance of the Turbine. Other data are as follows: Discharge Pressure of turbine = 85kPa-Vac; Turbine Efficiency = 73%. Mechanical Loss = 2% of shaft power. Generator Efficiency = 95%. Determine the following:

steam from a boiler at condition to
be determined. The high-pressure
turbine has an isentropic efficiency
of 75 percent and produces 1000 kW.
The exit condition of the high-pressure
turbine is 14 bar, saturated vapor.

supplies 1000 kg/min for process use
and steam to supply a low-pressure
steam turbine that produces 800 kW
when it exhausts steam at 0.1 bar
and has an isentropic efficiency of 60
