The discussion focuses on calculating the energy balance for closed and open feed water heaters in a regenerative power plant. It involves a specific scenario where steam is supplied at 30 bar and 300°C, with a condenser pressure of 0.08 bar and extraction points at 3.5 bar for the closed heater and 0.7 bar for the open heater. Participants seek guidance on applying energy balance equations and determining enthalpies around the feed heaters. The calculation aims to find the thermal efficiency of the plant while neglecting pump work. Understanding these principles is crucial for optimizing the performance of regenerative power systems.

energy balance for closed feed water heaters
 
Science news on Phys.org
yes...i would like to know how to apply close feed water heaters along with open feed water heater and what are energy balance equation we can apply ? if possible make suitable figure and how to get enthalpies around feed heaters?
 
Apply them to what? You're going to need to be a whole lot more descriptive about what you are asking in order for us to be able to help you.
 
applying them to power plant
ok...i type the whole question for you sir... to make you understand the problem better...
A regenerative plant operates with steam supplied at 30 bar and 300 C,and condenser pressure of 0.08 bar. The extraction point for two heater (one close and one open)are at 3.5 bar and 0.7 bar resp. calculate the thermal efficiency of the plant neglecting pump work.

Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves. Blue AM 0 as measured yellow Planck for 5777 K green Planck for, 5777 K after free space expansion red Planck for 1.000.000 K To me the idea of a gamma-Ray-source on earth, below the magnetic field, which protects life on earth from solar radiation, in an intensity, which is way way way outer hand, makes no sense to me. If they really get these high temperatures realized in...
