Question:
A simple Rankine-cycle steam power plant operates with a steam flow rate of 500,000 lbm/hr. Steam enters the turbine at 500 psia and 1000 F. The turbine exhaust (condenser inlet) conditions are 1.0 psia with a steam quality of 0.90. Determine the following:
A. The turbine output (kW)
B. The condenser heat rejection rate (Btu/hr)
C. The turbine isentropic efficiency (%)
D. Each term in the second-law entropy balance for the condensing process
E. The approximate pump work (kW)
F. The thermal efficiency of the plant (%)
G. The ideal thermal efficiency of the plant (%)
