We wish to consider the work that can be obtained by carrying out the following reactions in a steadyflow process: H 2 ( g )

We wish to consider the work that can be obtained by carrying out the following reactions in a steadyflow process:
H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l)
H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(g)
Hydrogen is burned completely with the theoretical amount of air, both initially at 101.325kPa and 300K, in an adiabatic reactor at constant pressure. If the flue gases are cooled to 500K at a constant pressure of 101.325kPa by the transfer of heat to a boiler to generate superheated steam at 3.5MPa and 540C, what is the work that will be obtained from a simple power-plant cycle operating as follows?
A turbine )=(80% expands the steam from the boiler to 0.014MPa. A condenser at 0.014MPa delivers saturated liquid water to a pump )=(80% that returns the water to the boiler. The total enthalpy and entropy changes for the reversible cooling of flue gases to 500K are H=-224.021kJ and S=-0.1714kJK. Take as a basis 1mol of H2 burned to form the flue gases and T=300K.
Make a thermodynamic analysis of the process. Represent your results in a table including Wnet,,Wideal and Wlost.CalculateallworkvaluesaspercentageofWidcal. Evaluate the thermodynamic efficiency (t) of the process.
PS: There is no heat transfer between surroundings and the boiler.
