Answer:
attached below
Explanation:
The gas-turbine cycle of a combined gas–steam power plant has a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor at 290 K and the
turbine at 1400 K. The combustion gases leaving the gas turbine are used to heat the steam at 15 MPa to 450°C in a heat exchanger. The combustion gases leave the heat exchanger at 247°C. Steam expands in a high-pressure turbine to a pressure of 3 MPa and is reheated in the combustion chamber to 500°C before it expands in a low-pressure turbine to 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam is 16 kg/s. Assume isentropic efficiencies of 100 percent for the pump, 85 percent for the compressor, and 90 percent for the gas and steam turbines. Determine the rate of total heat input. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The rate of total heat input is kW.

Answer:
flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s
thermal efficiency u = 44.48%
Explanation:
Given:
- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa
- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa
- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa
- T_5 = 550 C
- T_7 = 500 C
- Power Output P = 80 MW
Find:
- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler
- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Solution:
State 1:
P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid
h_1 = 192 KJ/kg
v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg
State 2:
P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:
h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)
h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg
State 3:
P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid
h_3 = 721 KJ/kg
v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg
State 4:
P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:
h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)
h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg
State 5:
P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C
h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg
s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK
State 6:
P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK
h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg
State 7:
P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C
h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg
s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK
State 8:
P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK
h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg
- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).
- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:
E_6 + E_2 = E_3
flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3
y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3
y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721
Compute y: y = 0.2018
- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:
q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)
q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)
Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg
-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:
q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)
q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)
Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg
- Net power output w_net:
w_net = q_b - q_c
w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26
w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg
- Given out put P = 80,000 KW
flow(m) = P / w_net
compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s
- Thermal efficiency u:
u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)
u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)
u = 44.48 %
