1 Student name : Francisco Garduno Date : 11/8/23 Homework Assignment No. 8 I. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false 1. Lowering condenser pressure lowers the average temperature of heat rejection from the Rankine cycle. A: True B: False 2. Renewable sources for power generation include hydropower, biomass, wind, and nuclear. A: True B: False, Sec. Introducing Power Generation 3. Superheat involves adding energy by heat to steam to bring it to a superheated vapor condition at the turbine inlet. A: True B: False 4. Power plant types that generate electric power include coal-fueled, nuclear-fueled, solar- concentrating, and wind power plants. A: True B: False 5. Electric power generation using biomass requires combustion. A: True, Sec. Introducing Power Generation B: False 6. Extraction For a vapor power cycle with W cycle = 4 MW and Q in = 10 MW, the thermal efficiency is 40%. A: True B: False 7. Raising boiler pressure lowers the average temperature at which energy is added by heat transfer to the Rankine cycle. A: True B: False II. Checking understanding
2 1. An example of an external irreversibility associated with the Rankine cycle is a. expansion of the working fluid through the turbine. b. frictional effects resulting in pressure drops. c. combustion of fuel. d. irreversibilities in the pump. 2. With __ Reheat Cycle _, steam expands through a first- stage turbine to an intermediate pressure, returns through a steam generator, and then expands through a second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure. 3. Which of the following is not a primary goal of subsystems associated with vapor power plants? a. convert electrical power to shaft power. b. provide condenser cooling water. c. convert shaft power to electrical power. d. supply energy to vaporize the power plant working fluid. For III and IV use problem-solving techniques (KNO WN, FIND, …) III. Steam is the working fluid in the ideal reheat cycle shown in below together with operational data. If the mass flow rate is 1.3 kg/s, determine the power developed by the cycle, in kW, and the cycle thermal efficiency.
