Question:

A smaller power plant produces 25 kg/s steam at 3 MPa, 600 C, in the boiler. It cools the condenser to an exit of 45C and the cycle is shown in Fig. P11.67. There is an extraction done at 500 kPa to an open feedwater heater, and in addition a steam supply of 5 kg/s is taken out and not returned. The missing 5 kg/s water is added to the feedwater heater from a 20C, 500 kPa source. Find the needed extraction flow rate to cover both the feedwater heater and the steam supply. Find the total turbine power output.
