Finding the Right Generator for a Steam Power Plant

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the sizing of a shell and tube condenser for a steam power plant involves specific equations, including the log mean temperature difference equation. Participants in the discussion express a willingness to assist engineering students with design projects, emphasizing the importance of providing specific design requirements for effective help. The choice of generator type for a steam power plant is also a critical topic, with participants ready to offer guidance. However, contributors clarify that they will not complete projects for students but will provide advice on areas where assistance is needed. Engaging with the community can lead to valuable insights and support for engineering challenges.

I'm stuck on the calculations concerning the sizing of the shell and tube condenser, about the equations to use..is the log mean temperature difference equation needed?
what is the best type of generator to use in a steam power plant?

We are pleased to help engineering students with design projects when time allows.

E-mail the design requirements for the shell & tube condenser to Wayne Braun at braunengineering@gmail.com
 
I think everyone here would be happy to help but we don't do the project for you. Your going to have to let us know where you get stuck and where you need some advice.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
