Question
A 25 MVA turbo-alternator is working on full load at a power factor of 0-8 and
efficiency of 97%. Find the quantity of cooling air required per minute at full load,
assuming that 90% of the total losses are dissipated by the internally circulating air. The
inlet air temperature is 20° C and the temperature rise is 30° C. Given that specific heat of
air is 0-24 and that 1 kg of air occupies 0-8 m3. [890 m3/minute]
6. A thermal station has an efficiency of 15% and 1-0 kg of coal burnt for every
kWh generated. Determine the calorific value of coal. [5733 kcal/kg]
