    HW1

    Powerplant technology Chapter 2

    2-1) A simple ideal saturated Rankine cycle turbine receives 125 kg/s of steam at 300°C and condenses
    at 40°C. Calculate (a) the net cycle power, in megawatts, and (b) the cycle efficiency.

    (a) 125*(300-40)=32500 kg°C/s

    From the table, we get sf=5.3108, sg=1.3028, and sfg=6.0562

    (5.3108-1.3028)/6.0562=0.6618

    From the table, we get hfg=22575 kg°C/s

    32500*1000+0.6618*(22575)*1000

    =14940160.5+32500000

    =47440160.5 watts

    =47.4402 MW

    From the table, we get h3=76.3 MW

    76.3-47.4402=28.86 MW

    The net cycle power is 28.86 MW

    (b)

    From the table, we get hin=50.7 MW

    1-28.86/50.7=1-0.5692=0.43

    The cycle efficiency is 0.43.


    2-10) A Rankine cycle with inlet steam at 90 bar and 500°C and condensation at 40°C produces 500 MW.
    It has one stage of reheat, optimally placed, back to 500°C. One feedwater of the closed type with drains
    cascaded back to the condenser receives bled steam at the reheat pressure. The high- and low- pressure
    turbine sections have polytropic efficiencies of 92 and 90 percent, respectively. The pump has a
    polytropic efficiency of 0.75. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate of steam at turbine inlet in kilograms per
    second, 9b) the cycle efficiency, and 9c) the cycle work ratio. Use TTD = -1.6°C.

    (a)

    From the table, we get sf=0.9256, and sfg=4.8608

    (s4-0.9256)/4.8608=0.75

    s4-0.9256=3.6456

    s4=4.5712

    From the table, we get sf=1.2089, and sfg=4.5712

    (s4-1.2089)/4.5712=0.9

    s4-1.2089=4.1141

    s4=5.3230

    From the table, we get sf=1.4633, and sfg=5.3230

    (s4-1.4633)/5.3230=0.90

    s4-1.4633=4.7907

    s4=6.2540

    From the table, we get hfg=15880 kg°C/s, and h3=253.06 MW

    x*1000+6.2540*(15880)*1000=253.06*10^6

    1000x+99313234.16=353060000

    1000x=253746765.84

    x=253746.7658 kg°C/s

    x*(500-40)=253746.7658

    460x=253746.7658

    x=551.62 kg/s

    The mass flow rate of steam at turbine inlet is 551.62 kg/s.

    (b) 0.92*0.9*0.75=0.62
    The cycle efficiency is 0.62.

    (c) 253.06/500*90+(-1.6)=45.5508+(-1.6)=89.19

    The cycle work ratio is 89.19.


    2-16) A 100-MW (thermal) binary-vapor cycle uses saturated mercury vapor at 1600°R at the top turbine
    inlet. The mercury condenses at 1000°R in a mercury-condenser-steam-boiler in which saturated steam is
    generated at 400psia. It is further superheated to 1160°R in the mercury-boiler-steam superheater. The
    steam condenses at 1 psia. Assume both mercury and steam cycles to be idea, and ignoring the pump
    work (a) draw flow and T-s diagrams of the binary cycle numbering points correspondingly, (b) calculate
    the mass flow rates of mercury and steam, and (c) calculate the heat added and heat rejected, in Btus
    per hour, and the cycle efficiency.

    T-S diagram
    (b) From the table, we get sf=0.8027, sfg=4.5983, and s3=0.6092

    (s4-0.8027)/4.5983=0.6092

    s4-0.8027=2.8013

    s4=3.6040

    From the table, we get hfg=17054 kg°C/s, and h3=127.54 MW

    x*1000+3.6040*(17054)*1000=127.54*10^6

    1000x+61462349.28=127540000

    1000x=66077650.72

    x=66077.6508 kg°C/s

    x*((1600-491.67)*5/9-(1000-491.67)*5/9)= 66077.6508

    x*(1108.33*5/9-508.33*5/9)= 66077.6508

    x*(1108.33*5/9-508.33*5/9)= 66077.6508

    x*(615.7388-282.4056)= 66077.6508

    333.3333x=66077.6508

    x=193.23 kg/s

    The mass flow rate of mercury is 193.23 kg/s.

    From the table, we get sf=0.7510, sfg=4.1185 and s3=0.5738


    (s4-0.7510)/4.1185=0.5738

    s4-0.7510=2.3632

    s4=3.1142

    From the table, we get hfg=14317 kg°C/s, and h3=92.44 MW

    x*1000+3.1142*(14317)*1000=92.44*10^6

    1000x+44585934.11=92440000

    1000x=47854065.89

    x=47584.0659 kg°C/s

    x*((1160-491.67)*5/9-(1000-491.67)*5/9)= 47584.0659

    x*(668.33*5/9-508.33*5/9)=47584.0659

    x*(371.2944-282.4056)=47584.0659

    88.8889x=47584.0659

    x=538.36 kg/s

    The mass flow rate of stream is 538.36 kg/s.

    (c) (127.54*10^6+92.44*10^6)/(400-1)=219980000/399=551328.32 Btus/h

    100*10^6/(400-1)=100000000/399=250626.57 Btus/h

    Heat added is 551328.32 Btus/h. The Heat rejected is 250626.57 Btus/h.

    From the table, we get hin=215.72 MW

    1-(127.54*10^6+92.44*10^6-250626.57/3.14)/215.72*10^6

    =1-(127540000+92440000-73497.5268)/215720000

    =1-119906502.5/215720000

    =1-0.5584=0.44

    The cycle efficiency is 0.44.
