A Pelton wheel with an efficiency of 85% is used to produce hydroelectric power from flow of water behind a dam with an elevation head of 420 m. The average radius of the wheel and its angular velocity are 2.0 m and 220 rpm, respectively. This turbine works at its optimum rotation rate (which produces maximum power). The turning angle of the buckets is ? = 165° and nozzle diameter is given as 8.00 cm. a. Calculate volumetric flow rate...

Problem-1 (200) A power plant with a mass flow rate of 281.8 Kg/s operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feed-water heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 14 MPa, 600°C and expands to 2 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feed-water heater operating at 2 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feed-water...
Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on a Rankine cycle. It has a net power output of 40 MW. Superheated steam enters the turbine at 8 MPa and 600°C (h = 3642 kJ/kg; s = 7.0206 kJ/kg K) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 85%. The pump has...
