    B59TC Test #1 Questions

    B59TC –Thermodynamics B
    Assignment 1
    The following questions will form the basis of an in-class test in week 5. The test
    contributes 10 marks to the overall grade for the course. For the assessment, one
    question (worth 7 marks) from those below plus an unseen question (worth 3 marks) will
    be used.

    Q1 In the (novel) steam power plant, shown in the figure below the boiler and superheater
    generates steam at pressure 50 bar and temperature 300oC. Eighty two percent (82%) of the
    steam is supplied to a high-pressure turbine in which it expands isentropically to 5 bar. The
    remainder is throttled to 5 bar and mixed with the exhaust steam from the high-pressure
    turbine. All the steam then enters a low-pressure turbine and exhausts at 0.2 bar. The mass
    flow rate of steam through the boiler is 23 kg/s. It may be assumed that all work devices are
    isentropic.

    i) Draw a T-s diagram of the cycle


    ii) Calculate the enthalpy at points 2 and 6.
    iii) Calculate the total power output of the plant
    iv) Calculate the cycle thermal efficiency of the plant

    Q2 An ideal multi-bleed steam power cycle operates
    with three direct contact regenerators. Steam is
    extracted from the turbine at 20 bar, 5 bar and
    1 bar and mixed with boiler feed at the
    respective pressures. Steam enters the turbine
    at 80 bar, 500oC and exhausts the condenser at
    0.05 bar.

    Find the missing bleed fractions and calculate the


    thermal efficiency of the cycle compared to the cycle
    without regeneration.

    Condenser, 0.05 bar 1-(a+b+c) 2050.0

    Q3 A steam power plant operates (Figure Q3) on an


    ideal reheat regenerative Rankine cycle and has
    a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters a
    high pressure (HP) turbine at 10 MPa and 550oC
    and leaves at 0.8 MPa. Some steam is extracted
    at this pressure to heat the feed water in a closed feed water heater (heat exchanger). The
    extracted steam is leaves the feed water heater as a saturated liquid. The rest of the steam
    is reheated to 500oC and is expanded in a low pressure turbine to 10 kPa. Enthalpy values at
    each identified point in the cycle are given in Table Q3.

    i. Draw a T-s diagram for the cycle.


    ii. Determine the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler.
    iii. Determine the cycle thermal efficiency.
