A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

$Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}$

$Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW$

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

Steam at 20 bars is in the saturated vapor state (call this state 1) and contained in a pistoncylinderdevice with a volume of 0.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

At state 1:

Pressure P₁ = 20 bar

Volume V₁ = 0.03 $\mathbf{m^{3}}$

From the tables at saturated vapour;

Temperature T₁ = 212.4⁰ C ; $v_1 = vg_1$ = 0.0996 $\mathbf{m^{3}}$ / kg

The mass inside the cylinder is m = 0.3 kg, which is constant.

The specific internal energy u₁ = ug₁ = 2599.2 kJ/kg

At state 2:

Temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

Since the 1 - 2 occurs in an isochoric process v₂ = v₁ = 0.099 $\mathbf{m^{3}}$ / kg

From temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

$v_f_2 = 0.0016 \ m^3/kg$

$vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg$

Since $vf_2 < v_2$ , the saturated pressure at state 2 i.e. P₂ = 15.5 bar

Mixture quality $x_2 = \dfrac{v_2-vf_2}{vg_2 -vf_2}$

$x_2 = \dfrac{(0.099-0.0016)m^3/kg}{(0.127 -0.0016) m^3/kg}$

$x_2 = \dfrac{(0.0974)m^3/kg}{(0.1254) m^3/kg}$

$\mathsf{x_2 =0.78}$

At temperature T₂, the specific internal energy $u_f_2 = 850.6 \ kJ/kg$ , also $ug_2 = 2594.3 \ kJ/kg$

Thus,

$u_2 = uf_2 + x_2 (ug_2 -uf_2)$

$u_2 =850.6 +0.78 (2594.3 -850.6)$

$u_2 =850.6 +1360.086$

$u_2 =2210.686 \ kJ/kg$

At state 3:

Temperature $T_3=T_2 = 200 ^0 C ,$

$V_3 = 2V_1 = 0.06 \ m^3$

Specific volume $v_3 = 0.2 \ m^3/kg$

Thus; $vg_3 =vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg$ ,

SInce $v_3 > vg_3$ , therefore, the phase is in a superheated vapour state.

From the tables of superheated vapour tables; at $v_3 = 0.2 \ m^3/kg$ and T₃ = 200⁰ C

The pressure = 10 bar and v =0.206 $\ m^3/kg$

The specific internal energy $u_3$ at the pressure of 10 bar = 2622.3 kJ/kg

The changes in the specific internal energy is:

$u_2-u_1$

= (2210.686 - 2599.2) kJ/kg

= -388.514 kJ/kg

≅ - 389 kJ/kg

$u_3-u_2$

= (2622.3 - 2210.686) kJ/kg

= 411.614 kJ/kg

≅ 410 kJ/kg

We can see the correct sketches of the T-v plot showing the diagrammatic expression in the image attached below.
