The coal combustion in the furnace of steam power plant produces p=44.03 mega-Watts (MW) of heating power to produce steam. 0.1*p mega-Watts are lost from the factory infrastructure (pipes, vanes, etc). The depleted steam is cooled by a water cooling system that expels 0.45*p of waste heat to the environment. Calculate the net mechanical power output. Present your answer in mega-Watts (MW).

Pls. Answer thank you! A logging firm in Isabella operates a Diesel Electric Plant to supply its electric energy requirements. During a 2 hour period, the plant consumed 250 gallons of fuel at 80°F and produced 2900 kW-hrs. Industrial fuel is used at 30°API and was purchased at P30/li at 60°F. Determine the overall thermal efficiency in percent of the plant.
A geothermal resource/aquifer has been tested and confirmed to continuously produce saturated liquid water at 230°C. It is desired to construct a 60 MW geothermal power plant, which will utilize this resource. Two designs are proposed: a) a single flash unit and b) a dual-flash unit. A nearby cooling pond may supply sufficient cooling water to keep the condenser of the plant at 40°C. For the two types of units under consideration calculate: a) The total amount of steam that needs to be produced. b) The total amount of water the wells must provide. c) If each well produces 60 kg/s of water, what is the number of wells that must be drilled?

Imagine that today is your first day on the job, and that from now on you will be the engineer responsible for a thermal machine. The machine operates according to the cycle below, functioning as a Rankine cycle. Figure 1. T-S diagram of the Rankine cycle. As a good engineer, you already know that, in order to know how a machine works, it is necessary to know its operating conditions. The boiler operates at a constant pressure equal to 8600 kPa and generates water vapor whose temperature is 400 °C. When passing through the turbine, the steam is expanded isetropically and enters the condenser as a two-phase mixture with a title equal to 0.80. The fluid is condensed at a constant pressure of 10 kPa, and then compressed isentropically, so that the fluid enters the boiler as a subcooled liquid. According to the information given above, determine: a) The change in internal energy (ΔU) and the change in entropy (ΔS) of the cycle. b) The net work recognized by the cycle (WNet). c) The thermal…
