EXAMPLE 9 Steam is generated in the boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 MPa and 450°C at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. In normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 MPa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. Steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. In this mode, no steam passes through the condenser, which operates at 20 kPa. (a) Determine the power produced and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) Determine the power produced and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure.

In a steam power plant, steam enters at 8 MPa and 550 C, the condenser pressure is 8 kPa, and the net power out of the plant is 100MW.
Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 20MW. Steam enters the turbine at 7MPa and 450.210C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10kPa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 1750kg/s. Determine the value of enthalpy of steam at the entry to the steam turbine (accurate to 4 decimal places, using the relevant equations) assuming that the cp of superheated steam is 2.9699kJ/kg.K.
Superheated steam enters the first stage of a steam turbine at 2.5 MPa and 300°C. the steam leaves the first stage at a pressure of 500 kPa and returns to the steam generator, which leaves at a temperature of 300 ºC and re-enters the second stage of the turbine, which finally leaves at 10kPa. Evaluate the efficiency of the cycle and the quality of the steam at the outlet of the two stages of the turbine.
Refrigerant-134a is condensed in a refrigeration system by rejecting heat to ambient air at 25°C. R-134a enters the condenser at 700 kPa and 50°C at a rate of 0.05 kg/s and leaves at the same pressure as a saturated liquid.

A steam power plant operates on a reheated Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at a pressure of 12.5 MPa and a temperature of 550 ̊C, with a flow rate of 7.7 kg/s and exits at a pressure of 2 MPa.
