Thanks for your responce. I have figured out how to use my mollier chart but only once I realized that I have to use it in conjunction with a steam table. Once I have the feed water temperature I can determine the enthalpy that will be extracted in the steam thus making my energy balance...

Hey, I see many have looked/read my problem but why no insight? I need to figure this problem out asap so ANY insight would be much appreciated. I have the answer to my problem but I do not understand why steam at such a high pressure and temperature are chosen instead of a lower...

Given: Condenser temperature: 97 deg C Condenser pressure: 0.91 bar Turbine: T admin = 500 deg C P admin = 80 bar isentropic efficiency= 0.87 Final feedwater temperature = 0.9* (n/n+1) [t (sat at P admin) - t (cond)] + t (cond) The above equation gives the final feed water...

Hi posted the question/cry for help in a regular thread but thought it might fit in here as well. Hello All, I am currently trying to optimize a steam power plant cycle and I am stuck... What I am unable to figure out is how to use a Mollier chart/diagram in order to determine the amount of...
