Question

Superheated steam at 18 MPa, 560C, enters the turbine of a vapor power plant. The pressure at the exit of the turbine is 0.06 bar, and liquid leaves the condenser at 0.045 bar, 26C. The pressure is increased to 18.2 MPa across the pump. The turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 82 and 77%, respectively. For the cycle, determine (a) the net work per unit mass of steam flow, in kJ/kg. (b) the heat transfer to steam passing through the boiler, in kJ per kg of steam flowing. (c) the thermal efficiency. (d) the heat transfer to cooling water passing through the con- denser, in kJ per kg of steam condensed.
