Question B3 (25 Marks Write down a mathematical expression for the First Law of Thermodynamics as applied to steady state, steady flow process, explaining clearly the notation and sign conventions us...
1. (20 points) Consider a cogeneration system operating at steady state. Superheated steam enters the first turbine stage at 6 MPa, 540 °C. Between the first and second stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500 kPa and diverted to a process heating load of 5 x 108 kl/h. Condensate exits the process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with specific enthalpy of 589.13 kl/kg and is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 450 kPa. The entire...
