Consider a regenerative gas-turbine power plant with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The overall pressure
ratio of the cycle is 9. Argon enters each stage of the compressor at 300 K and each stage of the turbine at 1200 K. Assuming constant
specific heats, determine the minimum mass flow rate of argon needed to develop a net power output of 110 MW. The properties of
argon at room temperature are cp = 0.5203 kJ/kg-K and k = 1.667.
The minimum mass flow rate of argon is
kg/s.
Steam enters the turbine of a simple vapor power plant with a pressure of 10 MPa and temperature of 580°C and expands adiabatically to 6 kPa.
Determine (a) temperature at the turbine exit. Also calculate the (b) work input in the pump (in kJ/kg) and the (c) cycle thermal efficiency, in %.
Use g = 9.81 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2 , T(K)=T(°C)+273 and T(R)=T(°F)+460, where applicable.
In a steam power plant, dry saturated steam enters the turbine at a pressure of 40 bar and
exits the turbine at a pressure of 0.1 bar. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 90 %, and
the condensate pump has an isentropic efficiency of 85 %. The water/steam mass flow rate
through the plant is 200 kg/s, and all changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible.
Using this information, determine:
a) The power output of the turbine, in MW.
b) The power required by the pump, in MW.
