Chapter 10.9, Problem 72P
Consider a cogeneration power plant modified with regeneration. Steam enters the turbine at 9 MPa and 400°C and expands to a pressure of 1.6 MPa. At this pressure, 35 percent of the steam is extracted from the turbine, and the remainder expands to 10 kPa. Part of the extracted steam is used to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the extracted steam is used for process heating and leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid at 1.6 MPa. It is subsequently mixed with the feedwater leaving the feedwater heater, and the mixture is pumped to the boiler pressure. Assuming the turbines and the pumps to be isentropic, show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler for a net power output of 25 MW.

Question 1
Consider a cogeneration power plant modified with regeneration. Steam enters the turbine at 8 MPa
and 500°C at a rate of 20 kg/s and expands to a pressure of 0.4 MPa. At this pressure, 55% of the
steam is extracted from the turbine, and the remainder expands to a pressure of 15 kPa. Part of the
extracted steam is used to heat feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the extracted
steam is used for process heating and leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid at 0.4 MPa. It is
subsequently mixed with the feedwater leaving the feedwater heater, and the mixture is pumped to
the boiler pressure. The steam in the condenser is cooled and condensed by the cooling water from
a nearby river, which enters the adiabatic condenser at a rate of 450 kg/s. Determine:
1. The total power output of the turbine
2. The temperature rise of the cooling water from the river in the condenser
3. The mass flow rate of steam through the process heater
4. The rate of heat transfer to…
Steam is generated in the boiler of a cogeneration plant at 8 MPa and 400C at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. In normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.4 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 15 kPa.
Draw the schematic and T-S diagrams. Label the points by setting point 1 at the condenser outlet, point 2 at the 1st pump (after the condenser) outlet, point 3 at the process heater outlet, point 4 at the 2nd pump (after the process heater) outlet, point 5 at the boiler inlet (after mixing chamber), point 6 at the boiler outlet, point 7 at the process heater inlet (no throttle valve), and point 8 at the condenser inlet.

- Consider a thermal power plant with reheating and cogeneration. It produces 5 MW of power and 4 MW of process heat. The steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa and 480 °C and expands to 1.2 MPa, to be reheated to 450 C. Subsequently, at a pressure of 0.8 MPa, a fraction of 0.152 of steam is extracted, which is sent as process heat. Then, at a pressure of 0.25 MPa, another extraction is made to preheat feed water in a closed heater, whose condensate (saturated liquid) expands and is sent to the condenser, whose pressure is 15 kPa, from which saturated liquid comes out.
