Explanation Write the expression for boundary work output and internal energy for adiabatic closed system. W b,out = Δ U = c v ( T 1 − T 2 ) (I) Here, boundary work output is W b,out , change in internal energy is Δ U , specific heat at constant volume is c v , initial temperature is T 1 and final temperature is T 2 . Write the expression for final temperature for the isentropic process. T 2 s = T 1 ( P 2 P 1 ) γ − 1 γ (II) Here, final isentropic temperature is T 2 s , initial temperature is T 1 , initial pressure is P 1 , final pressure is P 2 and specific heat ratio is γ . Write the expression for actual exit temperature. η = T 1 − T 2 T 1 − T 2 s T 2 = T 1 − η ( T 1 − T 2 s ) (III) Here, actual final temperature is T 2 and efficiency of process is η . Write the expression for entropy change of air. Δ s a i r = c p ln ( T 2 T 1 ) − R ln ( P 2 P 1 ) (IV) Here, entropy change of air is Δ s a i r , specific heat at constant pressure is c p and gas constant for air is R . Write the expression for exergy difference between initial and final state. Δ ϕ = c v ( T 1 − T 2 ) + P 0 ( v 1 − v 2 ) − T 0 ( s 1 − s 2 ) v 2 = c v ( T 1 − T 2 ) + P 0 R ( T 1 P 1 − T 2 P 2 ) − T 0 ( s 1 − s 2 ) (V) Here, exergy difference is Δ ϕ , specific heat at constant volume is c v , surrounding temperature is T 0 , surrounding pressure is P 0 , initial state entropy is s 1 and final state entropy is s 2 .

Calculate the second-law efficiency. η II = W useful Δ ϕ (VII) Here, second law efficiency is η II . Conclusion: Refer Table A-2, and obtain the specific heat at constant pressure for air as 0.240 Btu/lbm ⋅ R , the specific heat at constant volume for air as 0.171 Btu/lbm ⋅ R , the specific heat ratio as 1.4 and the gas constant for air is 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R . Substitute 140 ° F for T 1 , 20 psia for P 2 , 180 psia for P 1 and 1.4 for γ in Equation (II). T 2 s = ( 140 ° F ) ( 20 psia 180 psia ) 1.4 − 1 1.4 = ( 140 + 460 ) ° R ( 0.5337 ) = 320.22 ° R Substitute 140 ° F for T 1 , 0.95 for η and 320.22 ° R for T 2 s in Equation (III). T 2 = ( 140 ° F ) − ( 0.95 ) [ ( 140 ° F ) − ( 320.22 ° R ) ] = ( 140 ° F + 460 ) ° R − ( 0.95 ) [ ( 140 ° F + 460 ) ° R − ( 320.22 ° R ) ] = 600 ° R − [ 0.95 × ( 279.78 ) ° R ] = 334.209 ° R Substitute 0.171 Btu/lbm ⋅ R for c v , 140 ° F for T 1 and 334.209 ° R for T 2 in Equation (I). W b,out = ( 0.171 Btu/lbm ⋅ R ) [ ( 140 ° F ) − 334.209 ° R ] = ( 0.171 Btu/lbm ⋅ R ) [ ( 140 ° F + 460 ) ° R − 334.209 ° R ] = ( 0.171 Btu/lbm ⋅ R ) ( 265.791 ° R ) = 45

4. An operating parameter often used by power plant engineers is the heat rate. The heat rate is defined as, HR Qbioler Wnet where Qbioler is the heat transfer rate (Btu/h) to the water in the boiler due to the combustion of a fuel and Wnet is the net power (kW) delivered by the plant. In comparison, the thermal efficiency of the power plant is defined as, nth Wnet Qbioler where the numerator and denominator have the same units. Consider a power plant that is delivering 1000 MW of power while utilizing a heat transfer rate of 3570 MW at the boiler. Determine the heat rate and thermal efficiency of this power plant.

3. A steam power plant has an average monthly net power delivery of 740 MW over the course of a year. This power delivery is accomplished by burning coal in the boiler.
