In large steam power plants, the feedwater is often heated in closed feedwater heaters, which are basically heat exchangers, by steam extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the feedwater heater at 1.6 MPa and 250°C and leaves as saturated liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at 4 MPa and 30°C and leaves 10°C below the exit temperature of the steam. Neglecting any heat losses from the outer surfaces of the heater, determine the reversible work for this process per unit mass of the feedwater. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C.
In a power plant steam, steam is continuously extracted
from the turbine and in a heat exchanger there is a condensation of the extracted steam. The energy released during condensation of steam is used to operate a heat engine. A heat engine receives thermal energy at a rate of 1200 kJ/min from condensing steam and rejects waste heat to a lake at 25°C at a rate of 850 kJ/min. Determine the lowest possible condensing steam temperature.
Refrigerant-134a at a rate of 0.08 kg/s enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.18 MPa and 0 ℃ and leaves at 0.9 MPa and 80 ℃. The refrigerant is cooled in the condenser to 31.3 ℃ and 0.8 MPa and it is throttled to 0.18 MPa. Disregarding any heat transfer and pressure drops in the connecting lines between the components,
a) Show the cycle on a T-S diagram
b) Determine the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to the compressor
c) Determine the adiabatic efficiency of the compressor
d) Determine the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator.
