DESIGN a steam power plant that produces 70 MW of power. The plant should have an open heater and a reheater operating simultaneously utilizing saturated steam from the partial expansion of steam in the turbine. The remaining steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of steam when it enters the turbine. Another open heater is used to bled saturated steam when the steam partially expands in the turbine after reheating, remaining steam is expanded to the exhaust pressure of the turbine. Other pertinent data are as follows: steam turbine: inlet pressure – 6.6 MPa; inlet temperature - 420 C; exhaust pressure – 10 KPa; stages of turbine – all pressure compounded stage; pumps – 90% efficient; shaftings – 75%% efficient; generator – 95% efficient. DRAW a line diagram of the design plant indicating the pressure, temperature and enthalpy at each point and specify the following: a) the mass requirement of the steam plant in kg/hr  b) the masses extracted in kg/hr and c) the plant thermal efficiency.
