This document contains 5 problems related to steam generation and power plant efficiency: 1. A steam generator produces 23.5 kg/s of steam at 400°C and 5 MPa with 98% quality. The problem asks for the overall efficiency of the unit given the coal consumption and heating value. 2. The problem provides that a thermal power plant generates 4000 kW for power and 400 kW for auxiliaries, given the total heat generated is 15,000 kW. It asks for the net thermal efficiency. 3. The turbine and pump works in a Rankine cycle are given as 1200 kJ/kg and 20 kJ/kg respectively. The problem asks for the efficiency of the cycle given the

QUIZ

I. Problem Solving
1. (20PTS) A 23.5 kg of steam per second at 5 MPa and 400°C is produced by steam generator. The
feedwater enters the economizer at 145°C and leaves at 205°C. The steam leaves the boiler
drum with quality of 98%. The unit consumes 2.75 kg of coal per second as received having a
heating value of 25 102 kJ/kg. What would be the over-all efficiency of the unit in percent?
Steam Properties:
At 5MPa and 400°C: At 205°C:
h= 3195.7 kJ/kg hf = 875.04 kJ/kg
At 5 MPa: At 145°C:
hf = 1154.23 kJ/kg hf = 610.63 kJ/kg
hg = 1640.1 kJ/kg
2. (10PTS) The thermal power plant generates 4000 kW and 400 kW for auxiliaries. Determine the
net thermal efficiency if the heat generated by fuel is 15 000 kW.
3. (10PTS) The turbine work and the pump work in a Rankine cycle are 1200 kJ/kg and 20 kJ/kg
respectively. What is the efficiency of the cycle if the heat generated by the generator is 3000
kJ/kg?
4. (20PTS) A boiler operates at 1.24 MPa abs and delivers dry and saturated steam, which is
expanded to 100 kPa atmospheric pressure in a steam engine having a steam rate of 12 kg per
horsepower hr. Temperature of feed water is 93°C. Find the Rankine Vapor cycle efficiency.
Steam Properties:
At 1.24 MPa:
hg = 3195.7 kJ/kg
Sg = 6.5119 kJ/kg
At 0.10 MPa:
hf = 417.46 kJ/kg
hfg = 2258 kJ/kg
vf = 0.0010432
5. (20PTS) Steam enter a throttling calorimeter at a pressure of 1.03 MPa. The calorimeter
downstream pressure and temperature are respectively 0.100 MPa and 125°C. What is the
percentage moisture of the supply steam?
Steam Properties:
At 1.03 MPa:
hfg = 2010.7 kJ/kg
hg = 2779.25 kJ/kg
At 0.100 MPa and 125°C:
h = 2726.6 kJ/kg
