Question:
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x393/mariaschiffer/img017.jpg

Can anyone please check whether this answer is right.Thanks in advance

Answer:

Pressure of the closed feed water heaterP4=1MPa
Take the extracted pressure from the second turbine P11=0.3MPa
Operating pressure of open feed water heater=0.3MPa
State7: from the superheated water
P7=10MPa and t7=600degree C
H7=3625.8kJ/kg
S7=6.9045kJ/kg-k
Since state 2 is fixed so we know that
S7=s8=6.9045kJ/kg.K and P8=1.8Mpa
H8=3047.77kJ/kg
The state exit of the first turbine is the same as a exit of the first turbine.
State9:from the saturtrated water pressure table
P9=1MPa and s9=s7=6.9045kJ/kg-K
S9=sf+x3(sfg)
6.9045=2.1381+(x9)(4.4470)
X9=0.9895
Then
H9=hf=x9(hfg)
=762.51+(0.98)(2014.6)
=2736.818kJ/kg
State 10:
Steam is superheated state so
From the superheated water
P10 =1MPa and T10=550 degree C
H10=3588.85Kj/kg
S10=7.89765kJ/kg-K
State11:
Steam is superheated state so
From the superheated water
P11=0.3MPa and s11=s10=7.89765kJ/kg-K
H11=3093.325kJ/kg
We know that
From the saturated water table
P1=P12=7.5KPa and S12=S10=7.89765kJ/kg-K
H11=3093.325kJ/kg
We know that
From the saturated water table
P1=P12=7.5KPa and s12=s10=7.89765kJ/kg-K
The quality at state 6 is found to be X12=0.95
H12=hf+x12(hfg)
=168.75+(0.95)(2405.3)
=2453.785kJ/kg
And
State1:
H1@7.5KPa=hf=168.75kJ/kg
V1=0.001008M cube/kg
State2:
H2=h1+v1(P2-P1)
=168.75=(0.001008)(0.3-0.0075)
=168.75kJ/kg
State 3:
Since liquid leaving the open feed water heater at state 9is saturated liquid at 0.3MPa.
Thenh3=561047kJ/kg
The specific enthalpy at the exit of the second pump is h4=h3=v3(P4-p3)
=561.47+(0.001073)(10-0.3)
561.48kj/kg
The specific enthalpy of the feed water heater existing of the closed fed water heater at 10MPa and 550 degree C
Then
H5=hf+ vf(P5-P sat @550 degree C)
=884.233kJ/kg
By applying the mass balance equation closed feed water heater
Y1=h3-h4/h8-h4
=884.233-561.48/3047.77-561.48
=0.1298
Similarly for open feed water heater
Yii=(1-y)(h2)+y1(h3-h2)/(h2-h11)
=(0.8702)(168.75)+(0.1298)(561.48-168.25)/168.75-3093.325
=0.0675
Work developed by the turbine per unit mass entering
Wt1=(h7-h8)+(1-y1)(h8-h9)
=(3625.8-3047.77)+(0.8702)(3093.325-2453.785)
=822.521/kg
Similarly after reheating
Wt2=(1-y1)(h10-h11)+(1-y1-y2)(h11-h12)
=(0.8702)(3588.85-3093.325)+(0.8027)(3093.325-2453.785)
Wt2=944.564 Kj/kg
First pump work
Wp1=(1-y1-yii)(h1-h3)
=(0.8027)(168.75-561.47)
=315kJ/kg
Second pump work is
Wp2=h4-h3
=561.48-561.47
=0.01kJ/kg
Heat input is
Qtn=(h7-h6)+(1-y1)(h10-h9)
=(3625.8-884.233)+(0.8702)(3588.85-2736.818)
=3483.00kJ/kg
So here we needed 400 MW power so that vary the mass flow rate according to the need of the demand,
So here we required 400 MW so mass flow rate is
M=W/Wt1+Wt2-Wp1-Wp2
=400MW(3600s/h)/822.521+944.527-315-0.01
=991.700k.kg/h
Required power output is
P=W*m
=1452.038kJ/kg*991.2*10 cubic kg/h/3600
=399.99MW
=400MW.

1. What is a steam plant?

A steam plant is a type of power plant that uses steam to generate electricity. It typically consists of a boiler, turbine, and generator.

2. What is an ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle?

An ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that is used to model the behavior of a steam plant. It includes processes such as reheating and regenerative feed heating to improve the efficiency of the plant.

3. How does a steam plant with ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle operate?

A steam plant with ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle operates by using high-pressure steam to turn a turbine, which generates electricity. The steam is then reheated and sent back to the turbine for further expansion. It also utilizes regenerative feed heating, where the steam leaving the turbine is used to heat the feedwater before it enters the boiler again.

4. What are the advantages of using an ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle in a steam plant?

The use of an ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle in a steam plant allows for higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption. It also reduces the emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and increases the lifespan of the equipment.

5. What are the limitations of an ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle in a steam plant?

One limitation of using an ideal reheat-regenerative ranking cycle is that it requires complex equipment, making it more expensive to implement. It also requires a large amount of water for the feed heating process, which can be a challenge in areas with limited water resources.
