e with isobutane as the working fluid. Heat is transferred to the cycle by a heat exchanger in which geothermal liquid water enters at 160EC at a rate of 555.9 kg/s and leaves at 90°C. Isobutane enters the turbine at 3.25 MPa and 147°C at a rate of 305.6 kg/s, and leaves at 79.5°C and 410 kPa. Isobutane is condensed in an air-cooled condenser and pumped to the heat exchanger pressure. Assuming the pump to have an isentropic efficiency of 90 percent, determine:
(a) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine,
(b) the net power output of the plant, and
(c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined

Assumptions :

1.  Steady operating conditions exist.

2.  Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

Properties:  The specific heat of geothermal water ( c_{geo}[) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.  

Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

a. Turbine

PP_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The  isentropic  efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4}  }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }

==\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788

b. Pump

h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} =  \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1})   }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\          = 273.01+5.81\\           = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.}  (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\

W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.}  w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.}  _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.}  _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\

c. The thermal efficiency of the cycle  n_{th}  =\frac{W^{.} _{net} }{Q^{._{in} } } \\\\= \frac{20,166}{162,656} \\=0.124\\=12.4%

Answer:

a. 34.69%

b. 20165.82 kJ/s

c. 12.4

Explanation:

Assumptions:

1. Ideal rankine cycle

2. Isentropic stage 3-4

3. Isochoric process - constant volume

4. Isobutane is not a monoatomic gas, therefore cv is used for specific heat

a) The turbine stage is from 3 to 4

We know the inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures of the turbine. We can use butane thermodynamic tables to determine the enthalpies of stage 3 and stage 4

s₄=s₃

h₃=761.54kJ/kg

s₃=2.5457kg/kJ

P₄=410kPa

P₃=3250kPa

If it is isentropic whe can find the isentropic enthalpy by using the the entropy value of s₃ and the P₄:

h₄₍s₎ = 470.40 kJ/kg

Using the T₄:

h₄=689.74kJ/kg

The actual work of the turbine is defined as:

Wₐ = m(h₃-h₄)=m(761.54-689.74)=71.8m

Isentropic work = m (h₃-h₄₍s₎)=m(761.54-470.40)=290.84m

Isentropic work = actual work/isentropic work

=71.8/290.84=0.2468

24.68

b)

To work out the total work output we need to determine the work of the pump.

We assume the Pressure is constant through the heat exchanger.

P₁=P₄

h₁ = 273.01 kJ/kg @ 410 kPa

v₁ = 0.001842 m³/kg

Wp,in = mv₁(P₂-P₁)/n

We determine the work of the pump:

Wp,in = 305.6*0.001842*(3250-410)/0.9=1776.26 kJ/s

Wout = Wp,in-Wt = 1776.26-305.6*71.8=20165.82 kJ/s out

c) Thermal efficiency is the Work out divided by the heat put in:

We have the water properties and have h₂ and h₃

Q = 162656 kJ/s

W = 20165.82 kJ/s

n = W/Q = 20165.82/162656=0.1240

A 400-m^3 storage tank is being constructed to hold LNG, liquefied natural gas, which may be assumed to be essentially pure meth
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg

quality: 0.005048662

Explanation:

Volume occupied by liquid:

400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3

Volume occupied by vapor

400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3  

A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present

For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg

From specific volume definition:

vf = liquid volume/liquid mass

liquid mass = liquid volume/vf

liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg

liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg

vg = vapor volume/vapor mass

vapor mass = liquid volume/vg

vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg

vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg

total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg

Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass

quality =  653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662

What are difference between conic sectional and solids?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Conic Sections

a conic section is a curve which is obtained when a surface performs an intersection with a plane. The types of conic sections include hyperbola, parabola and ellipse. A circle can also be considered as a conic section.

Conic Solids on the other hand are the set of points on any segment between a region and a point which is not present in the plane of the base. They are solids with one base.
