3-40 In the condenser of a steam power plant the steam from the turbine enters the condenser at 0.10 bar with a quality of 95 percent and leaves at the same pressure as a saturated liquid. The steam is condensed by transferring heat to a stream of cooling water which enters at 1.3 bars and 5°C and leaves the heat exchanger at 1.2 bars and 25°C·The environmental temperature is 5°C. Determine a. the change in stream availability (exergy) of the...
Consider a steam power plant operating on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 5 MPa and 500°C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 50 kPa. Heat is supplied to the steam in a furnace maintained at 800 K, and waste heat is rejected to the surroundings at 300 K.

A steam turbine, as shown in Figure Q3, operates at steady state with inlet conditions of Pi= 2 MPa, T1 = 480°C and producing 4000 kW. Saturated steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 0.1 bar where it is condensed at 45.81 °C in the condenser. There is no significant heat transfer between the turbine and the condenser and their surroundings, and kinetic and potential energy changes between inlet and exit are negligible. A steam turbine, as shown in...
Steam generated in a power plant at a pressure of 8,600 kPa and temperature of 600°C is fed to a turbine. Exhaust from the turbine enters a condenser at 10 kPa, where it is condensed to saturated liquid, which is then pumped to the boiler. The turbine and the pump in the Rankine cycle operate at 80% and 75% efficiency, respectively. a. Determine the rates of heat transfer in the boiler b.Determine the rate of heat transfer in the condenser...
In a cogeneration plant, 10% kg/h of steam at 80 bar, 480 °C expands in the h.p. turbine to 10 bar. From the exhaust 4 x 10 kgh of steam is extracted for process heating. The remaining steam expands in the l.p. turbine to 0.08 bar. Saturated liquid at 0.08 bar leaving the condenser is pumped to 9.5 bar where it mixes with the condensate from the process heater leaving at 9.5 bar, 120°C. The entire flow is then pumped...
