Subject Name: Power Plant Course Code: MECH- 422
Exam Term: Fall 2020 Semester: 7th
_______________________________________________________________________________
Q1- Write short notes on the steam Boiler Mountings and Accessories?
Q2- Write short notes of the following?
1. Condensers and condenser cooling systems.
2. Open cycle with auxiliary cooling tower.
3. Closed cycle wet cooling systems.
4. Environmental effects of cooling systems

Q3-Define Steam Power Plants. and Describe the Classification of steam power plants.

Q4- Write down advantages and Disadvantages of Steam Power Plants.

Example 1. A nuclear fission reaction power plant converts energy in matter to electrical energy.by following energy
chain
Energy in Thermal Mechanical Electrical
Matter Energy Energy Energy
Neglecting losses, how much matter is converted into electrical energy per day by a 10 mW
power plant? (Chap # 2 example 1)
Example 2. A turbine generator unit has output of 150 mW and efficiency of 0.80. Calculate energy supplied per hour
by steam generator. (Chap # 2 example 2)
Example 3. A 100-mW geothermal power plant operates for 11 months in a year. 1 month is.
for maintenance shutdown. The cost of electrical energy supplied is Rs. 2.5/- per kW-hr. Calculate the
total earning by the power plant neglecting losses. (Chap # 2 example 3)
Example 4. A 5-meter diameter rotor rotates at 15 revolutions per minute (rpm) and the wind speed is 3 m/s, calculate
tip speed ratio of the rotor. (Chap # 2 example 14)
Example 5. Determine the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant and its coal bill per annum.
using the following data. Maximum demand = 24000 kW, Load factor = 40%, Boiler efficiency = 90%, Turbine
efficiency = 92%, Coal consumption = 0.87 kg/Unit, Price of coal = Rs. 280 per ton.
(Chap # 3 example 1)
Example 6. In a steam power plant, the capital cost of power generation equipment is Rs. 25 ×
105. The useful life of the plant is 30 years and salvage value of the plant to Rs. 1 × 105. Determine by sinking fund
method the amount to be saved annually for replacement if the rate of annual compound interest is 6%.
(Chap # 3 example 3)
Example 7. A diesel power station has fuel consumption of 0.2 kg per kWh. If the calorific value of
The oil is 11,000 kcal per kg determines the overall efficiency of the power station. (Chap # 3 example 5)
Example 8. Any undertaking consumes 6 × 106 kWh per year and its maximum demand is 2000.
kW. It is offered two tariffs. (a) Rs. 80 per kW of maximum demand plus 3 paise per kWh.b) A flat rate of 6 paise per
kWh. (c)Calculate the annual cost of energy. (Chap # 3 example 7)
