Draw a device schematic and T-s diagram for a solar power plant that runs on a reheat-regeneration rankine cycle with a heat exhanger effectiveness of 65% and only one open feedeater heater. Assume the turbines and pumps are isentropic. Assume the pressure limits.
2- What is the efficiency of a typical coal-fired power plant? That is, what percentage of the thermal energy from burning the coal is successfully turned into electricity?
The following diagram illustrates a simple steam power plant. A
10kg/s flow of liquid water at T1=25°C enters the pump at a
pressure of P1=100kPa and is then pumped to a pressure of P2=2MPa.
The boiler then heats the water at constant pressure to produce
superheated vapour at T3=450°C. The steam is then expanded in the
turbine to a final pressure of P4=100kPa. The turbine and pump are
well insulated and may be considered reversible.

20.54---- A typical coal-fired power plant generates 1000 MW of usable power at an overall thermal efficiency of 38%. a) What is the rate of heat input to the plant? b) The plant burns anthracite coal, which has a heat of combustion of 2.65×107J/kg. How much coal does the plant use per day, if it operates continuously? c) At what rate is heat ejected into the cool reservoir, which is the nearby river? d) The river's temperature is 18.0 ∘C...
A solar power-plant can supply 1 million homes. The average energy consumption of a typical home is around 10,800 kWh per year. What is the capacity of this power plant in MW? Assume the capacity factor to be 0.44 for calculations.
