Problem 2: Energetic and exergetic analysis of a steam power system
Consider a power cycle with one open feedwater heater. The working fluid is water.
Assumptions:
State 5 and state 7 are saturated liquid at corresponding pressure.
The isentropic efficiency of each pump is 100%.
For the exergetic analysis of the OFH use the equation for the deaerator (Script, Table 2.9 assuming that stream 4 is zero).
Initial data:
The net power of the cycle is 30MW.
Cooling water (states 21 and 22):
T22=34C;
p21=p22=1 bar (0.1MPa)
Combustion gases (states 11 and 12): All data from Problem 1, and the specific physical exergy is equal e11Ph=19392kJkmol,e12Ph=1217kJkmol
Steam enters the first turbine at and expands to p3=3MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and delivered to the open feedwater heater operating at the same pressure. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine to the condenser pressure of
The isentropic efficiency of each turbine is
Energetic calculations
(a) Formulate the mass, energy and entropy balances for all system components
(b) Define and calculate the mass flow rates for all used working fluids
