- Homework Statement
- Steam at 30 bar and 500°C enters a pass-out turbine at a rate of 18000 kg h–1. The bulk of this steam is expanded isentropically to a condenser pressure of 0.03 bar, but 32% is bled from the turbine at a pressure of 3 bar for process heating. If the condensate from the process heater is directly pumped back to the boiler, find:
a) Power output from the turbine
(b) the rate of process heating
(c) the efficiency of the plant.
- Relevant Equations
- m=Qp1/Qp2
Q=m_p (h2-h5)
η=(Qs-Q)/q
Hello Physics Forums,
