Problem 3. Rankine Cycle (90 points) A steam power plant operates with high pressure of 4 MPa and has a boiler exit at 600°C receiving heat from a 700° C reservoir. The ambient air at 20°C provides cooling to maintain the water/vapor mixture in the condenser at 60°C. All components are ideal (i.e., reversible) except the turbine which has an efficiency 92% ofa reversible isentropic process. Other than the irreversibility of the turbine, the power plant can be considered as...
Thermodynamics A steam power plant operates with high pressure oft 4 MPa and hasleel receiving heat from a 700°C reservoir. The ambient air at 20°C provides cooling to maintain the water/vapor mixture in the condenser at 60°C. All components are ideal i.e., reversible) except the turbine which has an efficiency 92% of a reversible, isentropic process. Other than the irreversibility of the turbine, the power plant can be considered as a Rankine cycle. Determine the following quantities in the suggested...

Water enters the boiler at 198 kg/s, 100°C, and 5 MPa; it is isobarically heated in the boiler. What are the theoretical and actual efficiencies of the heat engine? What is the outlet temperature of the water exiting the boiler? 3.
I) Boiler superheater [3 marks) B) A steam boiler fired with oil of calorific value of 42 MJ/kg generates steam at a rate of 2500 kg/h and 1.5 MPa. The generated steam is further heated in a superheater to a temperature of 300°C. Feed water at 30°c is preheated to 90°C through passage in the economizer. The boiler unit has an efficiency of 78% i) Calculate the fuel/oil consumption rate (in kg/h) ii) Calculate the percentage increase in fuel consumption...
An industrial boiler produces 68,000 kg/hr of saturated steam at 4.5 MPa using residual fuel oil (No. 6 fuel oil). The ambient air temperature is 255 K, which is also the temperature of the oil storage tank. There is no air preheater but the oil is preheated to 373 K. The oil is pressurized to 5 MPa. There is a 50 mm water pressure drop across the air ducts and wind box. An economizer heats the feed water to 400...
In a large steam power plant, the combustion of coal provides a heat rate of - 2500 MW at a flame temperature of T-1000 K. Heat is rejected from the plant to a river flowing at T. = 300 K. Heat is transferred from the combustion products to the exterior of large tubes in the boiler by way of radiation and convection, through the boiler tubes by conduc- tion, and then from the interior tube surface to the working fluid...
A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.78 kg saturated liquid water at 200°C. Now heat is transferred to the water until the volume quadruples and the cylinder contains saturated vapor only. Determine (a) the final volume of the tank, m (Round to six decimal places.) (b) the final temperature and pressure, MPa and (c) the internal energy change of the water kJ 0 Water 1.78 kg 200 C
(12 pts) A heat pump operating on a cyclic process receives heat from a reservoir at 500°C and rejects the waste heat at a rate of 30 kW to the ambient air at 300 K. If the work output of the engine is 45 kw, determine if the cycle is possible, and if the cycle is reversible. Explain with calculations. Show calculations using both efficiency (Method 1) and Entropy generation (Method 2) analysis.
Fuel is burned in a boiler to produce saturated steam at 10.0 bar absolute pressure from saturated liquid water at 10.0 bar absolute pressure. This H20 flows through tubes that run through the boiler, Energy released by combustion is transferred as heat through the walls of the tubes to convert the liquid water to steam at 10.0 bar. The fuel consists of 37 mol% ethane and 63 mol% acetylene, and is fed in the vapor phase at 50 °C and...
1. A thermoelectric steam generation plant operates on a Rankine cycle with reheating and two boiler feed water heaters, one open and one closed. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at P8 and 500 ° C and the low pressure turbine at P10 and 500 ° C. The condenser pressure is 40 kPa. Steam is drawn from the turbine at a pressure P11 for the closed feed water heater and at a pressure P12 for the open feed water heater....
