Numerical 2
In a reheat cycle steam leaves the boiler
and enters the turbine at 4 MPa pressure
and 400 oC temperature. After expansion in
the turbine to 400 kPa pressure, the steam
is reheated to 400 oC temperature and then
expanded in the low pressure turbine to 10
kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency and
specific steam consumption.
Numerical 3
In a regenerative cycle steam leaves the
boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa
pressure and 400 oC temperature. After
expansion in the turbine to 400 kPa pressure,
some of the steam is extracted from the
turbine to heat the feed water in a feed water
heater. The pressure in feed water heater is
400 kPa, and water leaving feed water heater
is saturated liquid at 400 kPa. The steam not
extracted is expanded up to 10 kPa.
Determine the cycle efficiency.
Numerical 4
A steam power plant operates on a cycle
with pressure and temperature as
designated in the following Figure. The
efficiency of turbine is 86% and the
efficiency of pump is 80%. Determine
thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Numerical
Calculate the ideal efficiency of a binary vapour
cycle. The steam cycle operates between
pressures of 30 and 0.04 bar, uses a superheat
temperature of 450 oC. The mercury cycle
works between pressures of 14 and 0.1 bar, the
mercury entering the turbine in a dry saturated
condition.
Cogeneration
Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is
defined as the sequential generation of two different
forms of useful energy from a single primary energy
source, typically mechanical energy and thermal energy.
Mechanical energy may be used either to drive an
alternator for producing electricity, or rotating
equipment such as motor, compressor, pump or fan for
delivering various services.
Thermal energy can be used either for direct process
applications or for indirectly producing steam, hot
water, hot air for dryer or chilled water for process
cooling.
