A steam power plant operates on an ideal Rankine cycle with two stages of reheat and has a net power output of 120 MW. Steam ent

ers all three stages of the turbine at 500°C. The maximum pressure in the cycle is 15 MPa, and the minimum pressure is 5 kPa. Steam is reheated at 5 MPa the first time and at 1 MPa the second time. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (b) the mass flow rate of the steam.

Answer:

a) 40.6%

b)72.19kg/s

Explanation:

The Rankine cycle with two reheat stages has 9 stages in total.

The maximum pressure will be at the first inlet stage of the HP turbine which is stage 3. The minimum pressure will be the exit stage of the condenser because the condenser operates under vacuum pressure which is stage 1.

The following assumptions can be made:

1 - Each component in the cycle is analyzed as an open system operating at steady-state.

  2 - All of the processes are internally reversible.

  3 - The turbine and pump operate adiabatically and are internally reversible, so they are also isentropic.

   4 - Condensate exits the condenser as saturated liquid.

  5 - The effluent from the HP turbine is a saturated vapor.

  6 - No shaft work crosses the system boundary of the boiler or condenser.

   7 - Changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible

a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle is defined as the work of the cycle divided by the total heat input to the system. The stages that have heat input is stages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7.

For stage 2:

s₁=s₂ assuming isentropic

s_1=0.4762 @ P_1=15MPa

enthalpy will be a compressed liquid so after interpolation

h_2=97.93+(0.4762-0.2932)((180.77-97.93)/(0.5666-0.2932))=153.38kJ/kg

For stage 3:

Superheated steam @ T=500⁰C and P=15MPa

h_3=3310.8kJ/kg

Stage 4:

superheated vapor

P=5MPa

s₃=s₄=6.3480 kJ/kg, we must use interpolation to find h₄

h_4=2925.7-(6.348-6.2111)((3069.3-2925.7)/(6.4516-6.2111))=3007.44kJ/kg

Stage 5:

Superheated steam @ T=500⁰C and P₄=P₅=5 MPa

h_5=3434.7kJ/kg

Stage 6:

Superheated steam at P₆= 1MPa

s₅=s₆

s_6=6.9781

We find h₆ using interpolation from the steam tables:

h_6=2943.1-(6.9781-6.9265)((3051.6-2943.1)/(7.1246-6.9265))=2970.67kJ/kg

Stage 7:

P₇=P₆=1MPa

T=500⁰C superheated steam

h_7=3479.1kJ/kg

The heat into the cycle is:

=(h_3-h_2)+(h_5-h_4)+(h_7-h_6)

=(3310.8-153.38)+(3434.7-3007.44)+(3479.1-2970.67)=4108.74kJ/kg

We can determine the work out by the condenser from stage 9 to stage 1:

Stage 1:

saturated liquid P=5kPa

h_1=137.75kJ/kg

Stage 9:

We assume that its a saturated liquid with quality of 1 at 5kPa and

s₇=s₉ and after interpolation

h_9=2568.53kj/kgK

Qout = [/tex]2568.53-137.75=2430.79kJ/kg[/tex]

The thermal efficiency can be written in terms of qin and qout:

n=1-(q_o/q_i)=1-2430.79/4093.11=0.4061

Efficiency of 40.61%

b)

The mass flow rate can be calculated from the Wnet:

W_n=W_t-W_p

Work of the turbines minus the work of the pumps:

W_n=m((h_3-h_4)+(h_5-h_6)+(h_7-h_9)-(h_1-h_2)

120000=m(1662.33)

m=72.19

mass flow rate of steam is 72.19 kg/s

A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}     ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5  + \frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}

solve it we get

SSD = 644 ft  

so here minimum distance clear from the inside edge of the inside lane is

Ms = Rv ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 SSD}{Rv}) )        .....................2

here Rv is = R - one lane width

Rv = 2300 - 6 = 2294 ft

put value in equation 2 we get

Ms = 2294 ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 \times 664}{2294})  )  

solve it we get

Ms = 22.57 ft

and

superelevation rate for the curve will be here as

R  = \frac{u^2}{15(e+f)}  ..................3

here f is coefficient of friction that is 0.10

put here value and we get e

2300 = \frac{65^2}{15(e+0.10)}

solve it we get

e = 2%

A 150 MVA, 24 kV, 123% three-phase synchronous generator supplies a large network. The network voltage is 27 kV. The phase angle
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

the generator induced voltage is 60.59 kV

Explanation:

Given:

S = 150 MVA

Vline = 24 kV = 24000 V

X_{s} =1.23(\frac{V_{line}^{2}  }{s} )=1.23\frac{24000^{2} }{1500} =4723.2 ohms

the network voltage phase is

V_{phase} =\frac{V_{nline} }{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{27}{\sqrt{3} } =15.58kV

the power transmitted is equal to:

|E|=\frac{P*X_{s} }{3*|V_{phase}|sinO } ;if-O=60\\|E|=\frac{300*4.723}{3*15.58*sin60} =34.98kV

the line induced voltage is

|E_{line} |=\sqrt{3} *|E|=\sqrt{3} *34.98=60.59kV

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The python code to generate this is quite simple to run.

i hope you understand everything written here, you can as well try out other problems to understand better.

First to begin, we import the package;

Code:

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

name = input('Enter name of the file: ')

op = input('Enter name of output file: ')

df = pd.read_csv(name)

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date"].apply(str))

plt.plot(df['Date'],df['Absent']/(df['Present']+df['Absent']+df['Released']),label="% Absent")

plt.legend(loc="upper right")

plt.xticks(rotation=20)

plt.savefig(op)

plt.show()

This should generate the data(plot) as seen in the uploaded screenshot.

thanks i hope this helps!!!
