Your boss would like to connect a high temperature and pressure stream of steam (from another unit at the plant site) to a turbine that will be operated adiabatically and will serve as an energy source for a small electric generator. The steam is at T1 = 600 C and P1 = 10 bar. The outlet conditions of the turbine must be T2 = 400 C and P2 = 1 bar. The inlet diameter to the pipe connecting to the turbine is 10 cm and the outlet diameter of the pipe from the turbine is 25 cm. None of these parameters can be changed. However, the mass flow rate of the steam into the turbine can be regulated. Your boss has asked you to determine what mass flow rate of steam should be used to obtain1040 kW of work from the turbine. Report your answer in kg/s.

A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 2. A portion (y'') of the steam exiting Turbine 2 at P3 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 3. The exit of Turbine...

A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat and regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder is reheated to T3 before entering Turbine 2.

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.

Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1]. The goal of this project is to determine the operating efficiency and profitability of a realistic combined cycle power plant. The power plant is as follows: 1. A natural gas-fired Brayton cycle with mÛ air,Br = 1.25 kg s−1 . (a) Ambient air at 1 bar and 300...
