A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550°C at a rate

of 7.7 kg/s and leaves at 2 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 450 °C before it expands in the low-pressure turbine. The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and the pump are 85 percent and 90 percent, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the turbine is not to exceed 5 percent, determine (a) the condenser pressure, (b) the net power output, and (c) the thermal efficiency

Answer:

A) condenser pressure = 9.73 kPa,

B) 10242 kw

C) 36.9%

Explanation:

given data

entrance pressure of steam = 12.5 MPa

temperature of steam = 550⁰c

flow rate of steam = 7.7 kg/s

outer pressure = 2 MPa

reheated steam temperature = 450⁰c

isentropic efficiency of turbine( nt ) = 85% = 0.85

isentropic efficiency of pump = 90% = 0.90

From steam tables

at 12.5 MPa and 550⁰c ; h3 = 3476.5 kJ/kg,  S3 = 6.6317 kJ/kgK

also for an Isentropic expansion

S4s = S3 .

therefore when S4s = 6.6317 kJ/kg and P4 = 2 MPa

h4s = 2948.1 kJ/kg

nt = 0.85

nt (0.85) = \frac{h3-h4}{h3-h4s} = \frac{3476.5 - h4}{3476.5 - 2948.1}

making h4 subject of the equation

h4 = 3476.5 - 0.85 (3476.5 - 2948.1)

h4 = 3027.3 kj/kg

at P5 = 2 MPa and T5 = 450⁰c

h5 = 3358.2 kj/kg,  s5 = 7.2815 kj/kgk

at P6 , x6 = 0.95  and s5 = s6

using nt = 0.85 we can calculate for h6 and h6s

from the chart attached below we can see that

p6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kj/kg

B) the net power output

solution is attached below

c) thermal efficiency

thermal efficiency = 1 - \frac{qout}{qin} = 1 - ( 2273.7/ 3603.8) = 36.9% ≈ 37%

A battery is an electromechanical device. a)- True b)- False
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b)False

Explanation:

A battery is a device which store the energy in the form of chemical energy.And this stored energy is used according to the requirement.So battery is not a electromechanical device.Because it does have any mechanical component like gear ,shaft flywheel etc.

A flywheel is known as mechanical battery because it stored mechanical energy and supply that energy when more energy is required.Generally fly wheel is used during punching operation.

In the lab, a container of saturated soil had a mass of 113.27 g before it was placed in the oven and100.06 g after the soil had
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  • Moisture/ water content w = 26%
  • Void ratio , e =  0.73

Explanation:

  • Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                 = 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g

  • Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container

                                                  = 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75

Moisture /water content, w =   \frac{w1-w2}{w2} = \frac{63.96-50.75}{50.75} = 0.26 = 26%

Void ratio =  water content X specific gravity of solid

                  = 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728
