Steam is to be supplied from a boiler to a high pressure turbine whose isentropic efficiency is
Question:
Steam is to be supplied from a boiler to a high pressure turbine whose isentropic efficiency is 85 percent at conditions to be determined. The steam is to leave the highpressure turbine as a saturated vapor at 1.4 MPa, and the turbine is to produce 5.5 MW of power. Steam at the turbine exit is extracted at a rate of 1000 kg/min and routed to a process heater while the rest of the steam is supplied to a lowpressure turbine whose isentropic efficiency is 80 percent. The low-pressure turbine allows the steam to expand to 10 kPa pressure and produces 1.5 MW of power. Determine the temperature, pressure, and the flow rate of steam at the inlet of the high-pressure turbine.
