Work Sheet1

This document contains 5 questions regarding steam power plant engineering calculations. Question 1 involves calculating the Rankine efficiency, steam consumption, Carnot efficiency, and changes resulting from a lower condenser pressure. Question 2 involves calculating the specific heat consumption and thermal efficiency of a regenerative feedwater heating cycle. The remaining questions involve calculating cycle efficiencies, work ratios, steam consumptions, pressures, and enthalpy changes for various Rankine cycles operating between given steam conditions.

Work sheet 1: Power Plant Engineering

Q1. A steam turbine receives steam at 15 bar and 300°C and leaves the
turbine at 0.1 bar and 4% moisture. Determine:
(i) Rankine efficiency
(ii) steam consumption per kW per hour.
(iii) Carnot cycle efficiency for the given temperature limits
(iv) change in Rankine efficiency and specific consumption if the
condenser pressure is reduced to 0.04 bar

Q2. A steam power plant, operating with one regenerative feed water
heating is run at the initial steam conditions of 35.0 bar and 440°C with
exhaust pressure of 0.040 bar. Steam is bled from the turbine for feed
water heating at a pressure of 1.226 bar. Determine:
(1) Specific heat consumption
(2) Thermal efficiency of the cycle

1. A simple Rankine cycle works between pressure of 30 bar and 0.04 bar,
the initial condition of steam being dry saturated, calculate the cycle
efficiency work ratio and specific steam consumption. [Ans. 35%, 0.997,
3.84 kg/kWh]
2. A steam power plant works between 40 bar and 0.05 bar. If the steam
supplied is dry saturated and the cycle of operation is Rankine. Find (a)
cycle efficiency, and (b) specific steam consumption. [Ans. 35.5%, 3.8
kg/kWh]
3. An engine operating on ideal Carnot cycle uses steam at 10 bar and 90%
dryness at the end of the isothermal expansion process. The pressure
during isothermal compression is 1.5bar. Find the thermal efficiency of
the cycle. Also find the power developed by the engine if the engine uses
0.5 kg of steam per cycle and makes 200 cycles/min. Assume that the
liquid is saturated at the beginning of isothermal
expansion(evaporation). [Ans. 15.1%, 456 kW]
4. Steam at 28 bar and 50°C superheat is passed through a turbine and
expanded to a pressure where the steam is dry and saturated. It is then
reheated at constant pressure to its original temperature and then
expanded to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. The expansion being
isentropic, find
(i) Work done per kg of steam
(ii) Thermal efficiency with and without reheats.
[Ans. 880 kJ/kg, 30.3%]
5. The steam at a pressure of 100 bar and 500°C is supplied to a steam
turbine. It comes out at 0.07 bar and 0.85 dry. One stage reheating is used
and reheating is carried out up to its original temperature. Determine the
theoretical thermal efficiency of the plant. Also find out the pressure at
which reheating is 2carried out. Assume expansions at both stages are
isentropic. Show the processes on h-s chart. If the net output is 1400 kJ/kg
of steam find out the actual efficiency of the plant.
[Ans. 42.6%, 39.3%]
