Prove that, Rst =


1−Ra

where the symbols bear usual meaning

Answer:

The incremental rate at any given output is the slope of the input-output curve at the point
corresponding to that output. The slope of the input-output curve, and hence the incremental
rate measures the rate of increase of the input. However, the increment rate of station as unit
may be found directly from following resulting input-output curve:

Although it is more convinient and somewhat accurate to calculate station increment rate from
the indiviual equipment incremental rates.

Let,
dI/dLn = Station incremental rate = Rst

dI/dO = Steam-generator incremental rate =Rb

dO/dLg = Turbo-generator incremental rate= Rt

dA/dLg = Auxiliary composition incremental rate =Ra

dLg/dLn = Gross vs net station output

These data can be gained by following input-output curves:

Now, by identity,

= × ×
dL n dO dLg dLn

d Lg
⇒ Rst =Rb × Rt ×
d ( Lg− A )

⇒ Rst=Rb × Rt ×

⇒ Rst=Rb × Rt ×
