How do i solve C??? Please details Steam enters a two stage steady state turbine at 8 MPa and 500 C. It expands in the first stage to a state of 2 MPa and 350°C. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to a temperature of 500°C before it enters the second stage, where it exits at 30 kPa and a quality of 98%. The net power output of the turbine is 3 MW Assume the surroundings to be at...
Question 4 125 pointsl An industrial facility needs power as well as heat for process application. An innovative mechanical engineer suggested using a steam turbine to provide the power and extract part of the steam somewhere in the middle of the turbine to provide the process heat. Consider an insulated steam turbine which receives 30 kg/s of seam at 3 MPa, 350°C (state 1). At the point in the turbine where the pressure is 0.5 MPa and the temperature is...
In a reheat-cycle power plant, steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 5 MPa, 450°C, and expands to 0.5 MPa, after which it is reheated to 450°C. The steam is then expanded through the low-pressure turbine to 7.5 kPa. Liquid water (Vi 0.001 m/kg) leaves the condensor at 30°C, is pumped to 5 MPa, and returned to the steam generator. Each turbine is adiabatic, with an isentropic efficiency of 81.6 % and the pump efficiency is 848 %. If the total...

The gas turbine cycle of a gas-steam combined cycle power plant has a pressure ratio of 12. The air enters the compressor at 310 K and 100 kPa (1) and the turbine at 1400 K (3). The combustion gases leaving the gas turbine (4) are used to heat the steam to 12.5 MPa up to 500 °C (6) in a heat exchanger. The flue gas exits the heat exchanger (5) at 247 °C.
