If you are not you will find tutorials on this in the Edexcel module Thermodynamics and in the general area of Thermodynamics ( In this tutorial we examine specific plant items as listed above. You will also find good quality learning material at And free tables for finding the properties of steam and water at D.J.Dunn freestudy.co.uk 1

2 STEADY FLOW PLANT Steam power plant contains most of the items to be examined but many of them are found elsewhere. The graphic below indicates the basic plant used in simple steam power plant. The thermodynamic cycle is based on the Rankine Cycle and you can find tutorials on this in the thermodynamic module. Most of the plant items are heat exchangers of one kind or other. The boiler is a series of heat exchangers that evaporates the feed water and then superheats it. The source of heat may be from the combustion of fossil fuel or hot gas from a nuclear reactor. The steam passes to a turbine where it gives up its energy (enthalpy) to mechanical power that drives the alternator and produces electric power. The steam leaving the turbine is condensed in the condenser. This is another heat exchanger that uses cooling water. The cooling water is circulated to a cooling tower (or another source of cooling such as the sea, river or lake). The condensate is pumped back to the boiler but it is heated in another heat exchanger called an economiser. This uses the hot gas (usually flue gas) exiting the boiler. In a full blown power station, there will be several feed heaters, a reheater and an air preheater. There will also be feed water heaters, de-aerators, de-superheaters, hot wells and many other things. The purpose of this module is to examine the energy transfers occurring and the efficiencies of the plant items. D.J.Dunn 2

3 BOILER There are many types of boilers ranging from small hot water boilers to large power station boilers producing superheated steam. A main power station boiler will have an economiser, an evaporator, a superheater, a reheater and an air preheater (recuperator) all of which improve the efficiency. The diagram shows the arrangement for a medium size boiler using water walls. The walls of the furnace are entirely surrounded by vertical pipes banked so close together that they form a curtain wall. Water from the drum passes down the down comer pipe and is distributed to the water wall with a circulating pump. The steam from the top returns to the steam space inside the drum. Steam is drawn off from the same space and superheated in a bank of heat exchanger tubes. The superheater is placed in the hottest part of the flue. The economiser is in the coolest part of the flue. MEDIUM SIZE POWER STATION BOILER Some boilers (once through types) are designed as one long heat exchanger with water entering one end and superheated steam leaving the other and there is no clearly defined evaporator section. Industrial process steam is usually dry or wet so many boilers do not have a superheater. It is not practical to cover the many types of boilers on the market. The pictures show typical package boilers delivered fully constructed to the site. TYPICAL PACKAGE BOILERS D.J.Dunn 3

4 APPLYING THE STEADY FLOW ENERGY EQUATION All the units described are basically heat exchangers. The main point is that a heat transfer rate is needed into the boiler unit in order to heat up the water, evaporate it and superheat it. The heat transfer to the water or steam is found by applying the Steady Flow Energy Equation. Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s In the case of any heat exchanger, P = 0 as there is no work done. The velocity of fluids should be low otherwise there will be pressure losses and there should not be much difference between the inlet and outlet so kinetic energy is usually neglected. The inlet and outlets of the heat exchanger may be at different levels so potential energy changes might exist but this is likely to be small compared to the other energy terms so this is normally neglected as well. In this case the SFEE becomes: = ΔH/s = m (Δh) Δh is the change in specific enthalpy of the fluid. Φ is the heat transferred into or out of the fluid and m is the mass flow rate. This may be applied to the boiler in its entirety or to any of the units within the boiler. For steam we need to use steam tables to find the enthalpy values. You should already know that: h f is the specific enthalpy of saturated water. h fg is the specific enthalpy of evaporation. h g is the specific enthalpy of dry saturated steam h g = h f + h fg For superheated steam h values For wet steam with dryness fraction x h = h f + xh fg For low pressure water h = c w θ where c w is the specific heat (about 4.2 kj/kg K) and θ the temperature in o C. Celsius is used because specific enthalpy is arbitrarily taken as zero at 0 o C. For high temperatures and pressure the specific heat changes significantly and it is best to use the table below. The enthalpy of steam and water may be found at For gases, the enthalpy change may be found with specific heats so that Δh = c p Δθ where c p is the specific heat at constant pressure and these can be found from tables. Note that these values also vary with temperature and so care should be taken. TABLE FOR THE ENTHALPY OF HIGH PRESSURE WATER Temp o C Pressure in bar D.J.Dunn 4

5 OVERALL BOILER EFFICIENCY The heat input to a boiler comes from various sources. Fossil fuels are one of the most common sources and the heat input is given by: Φ = mass/s x calorific value - solid fuels Φ =volume/s x calorific value - gas fuels Typical calorific values are: Coal MJ/kg Fuel Oils MJ/kg Natural Gas 38 MJ/m 3 Other sources of heat are hot gasses such as the CO 2 used on nuclear power stations and hot flue gas used with waste heat boilers. WORKED EXAMPLE No.1 A hot water boiler produces 0.24 kg/s of hot water at 80 o C from cold water at 18 o C.The boiler burns fuel oil at a rate of 1.6 g/s with a calorific value of 44 MJ/kg. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler. The easiest way to find the increase in enthalpy of the water is to use the specific heat assumed to be kj/kg K. = m c = 0.24 x x (80 18) = kw Heat released by combustion = m f x C.V. Heat released by combustion = 1.6 x 10-3 (kg/s) x (kj/kg) = 70.4 kw th = (62.29/70.4) x 100 = 88.5% WORKED EXAMPLE No. 2 A steam boiler produces 0.2 kg/s at 50 bar and 400 o C from water at 50 bar and 100 o C. The boiler burns 5.3 m 3 /min of natural gas with a calorific value of 38 MJ/ m 3. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler. The enthalpy of the steam produced is found in tables at 50 bar and 400 o C. h 2 = 3196 kj/kg The enthalpy of the water is found from the table at 50 bar and 100 o C. h 1 = kj/kg Energy given to the water and steam = m (h 2 - h 1 ) = 0.2 ( ) = 3111 kw Energy from burning the fuel = Vol/s x C.V. Energy from burning the fuel = (5.3/60)(m 3 /s) x (kj/m 3 ) = 3357 kw th = (3111/3357) x 100 = 92.7% D.J.Dunn 5

6 SELF ASSESSMENT EXERCISE No A hot water boiler produces 0. 4 kg/s of hot water at 70 o C from cold water at 10 o C. The boiler burns fuel oil at a rate of 3.2 g/s with a calorific value of 44 MJ/kg. The specific heat of water is kj/kg K. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler. (71.4 %) 2. A steam boiler produces 3 kg/s at 70 bar and 500 o C from water at 70 bar and 120 o C. The boiler burns 17 m 3 /min of natural gas with a calorific value of 38 MJ/ m 3. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler. (80.8%) ECONOMISER The economiser is a heat exchanger that passes heat from the flue gas to the feed water. The feed water temperature is hence hotter than it would otherwise be and less heat is required to produce steam from it. Alternatively more steam can be raised for the same amount of heat. An increase in temperature of 10 C can improve the boiler efficiency by as much as 2%. SHELL BOILER WITH ECONOMISER Because the economiser is on the high-pressure side of the feed pump, feed water temperatures in excess of 100 C are possible. Note that the flue gas should not be cooled to the dew point to prevent acidic water forming. The diagram shows the layout for a small shell boiler. The efficiency of an economiser refers only to how well it transfers heat and this is only affected by the heat transfer through the walls of the tubes. They are prone to sooty deposits forming on the flue gas side and this reduces the heat transfer rate. They are designed to be cleaned easily. A finned heat exchanger tube such as shown should have the fins arranged vertically so that soot will fall off them. Plain tubes have scrapers fitted for cleaning them mechanically. Steam blowing is a technique used to blast the soot off the fins with a steam jet but this can cause atmospheric pollution. D.J.Dunn 6

7 WORKED EXAMPLE No. 3 A boiler is supplied with 6 MW of heat and produces 0.5 kg/s of steam at 100 bar from feed water at 40 o C with an efficiency of 65%. If an economiser is fitted that raises the feed water temperature to 180 o C, what would be the new boiler efficiency? Assume that the heat input to the boiler is reduced by the amount saved by fitting the economiser. The table for the enthalpy of water should be used. The heat given to the steam is 65% x 6 MW = 3.9 MW The enthalpy of water at 100 bar and 180 o C is 767 kj/kg The enthalpy of water at 100 bar and 40 o C is 176 kj/kg The heat given to the water = m w Δh = 0.5( ) = kw The heat transfer is reduced to = MW The efficiency is 3.9/ = or 68.4% WORKED EXAMPLE No. 4 Measurements for the boiler and economiser described in example 1 show that the flue gas is cooled from 250 o C to 150 o C over the economiser. The specific heat of the flue gas is 1.1 kj/kg K. Assuming 100% heat exchange, determine mass flow of the flue gas. The heat given to the water is kw The heat lost from the flue gas is m g Δh = m g c p ΔT = m g 1.1 x ( ) = kw If the transfer is 100% then we can equate. m g = 295.5/110 = kg/s D.J.Dunn 7

8 EVAPORATOR All steam boilers evaporate the feed water. The feed water should be as close to the boiling point as possible to reduce the heat needed to evaporate it. The steam produced should ideally be dry steam but in practice a small amount of water is carried over with it so the steam is typically 98% dry (dryness fraction 0.98). It is not possible to produce superheated steam without a superheater section. In large power station boilers the evaporator is a water wall surrounding the furnace as described earlier. These are also called water tube boilers because the tubes contain the water with hot gas on the outside. The boiler with water walls and heater tube banks as shown earlier fits this category. In smaller boilers the water may be contained inside a shell and heated by hot gas passing through the tubes. These are shell boilers and also called fire tube boilers because the hot gas passes through the tubes. SHELL BOILER WITH FIRE TUBES WORKED EXAMPLE No. 5 The evaporator section of a boiler uses 20 kg/s of feed water at 50 bar and 200 o C. The steam produced is 98% dry. Calculate the heat transfer. Heat transfer = mass x Δh Specific enthalpy of feed water is h 1 = 854 kj/kg (from the table) The specific enthalpy of the steam is h 2 = h f (h g ) These values must be found from steam tables and we find that at 50 bar: h f = 1155 kj/kg and h g = 1639 kj/kg h 2 = (1639) = kj/kg in = m(h2 - h1) = 20( ) = kw or MW D.J.Dunn 8

9 SUPERHEATER This is a heater placed in the hottest part of the boiler that raises the temperature of the steam well beyond the saturation temperature. WORKED EXAMPLE No. 6 A superheater produces 34 kg/s of steam at 70 bar and 400 o C from steam 97% dry. Calculate the heat transfer to the steam. From the steam tables (superheat section) the enthalpy of the superheated steam is h 2 = 3158 kj/k K at 70 b and 400 o C From the saturated steam section h f = 1267 and h fg = 1505 kj/kg K at 70 bar. h 1 = (1505) = kj/kg K Φ = mδh = 34( ) = kw or MW WORKED EXAMPLE No. 7 The same superheater given in the last example cools the flue gas by 700 K. The mean specific heat is 1.15 kj/kg K. The air fuel ratio for the furnace is 14/1. Determine the mass flow of the flue gas and the mass of fuel being burned. Assuming the heat lost by the gas all goes into the steam we can equate. Φ = m g c p Δθ = m g 1.1(700) = 770 m g kw Φ = = 770 m g m g = kg/s The mass of gas = mass of fuel + mass of air = m f + m a = m f + 14 m f = 15 m f m f = 19.03/15 = kg/s D.J.Dunn 9

10 TURBINE The turbine converts the enthalpy in the steam into mechanical power. Applying the steady flow energy equation gives: Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s In an ideal turbine, the heat loss from the case is reduced to near zero by lagging. The change in potential and kinetic energy are usually negligible so this reduces to : P = ΔH = m(δh) P is the power given up by the steam and Δh the change in specific enthalpy of the steam. Turbines in real plant are often in several stages and the last stage is specially designed to cope with water droplets in the steam that becomes wet as it gives up its energy. You must use the isentropic expansion theory in order to calculate the dryness fraction and enthalpy of the exhaust steam. The picture shows a large steam turbine stripped for service. There are three sections, high, intermediate and low pressure. The steam enters at the middle of each and flows away in both directions to reduce axial forces on the rotor. WORKED EXAMPLE No. 8 A steam turbine is supplied at 100 bar and 400 o C. The steam exits the turbine at 0.07 bar and dryness fraction The flow rate of steam is 55 kg/s. Calculate the power output from the turbine assuming 100% energy transfer from the steam. The specific enthalpy of the steam supplied is found from tables for superheated steam. h = 3097 kj/kg (100 bar and 400oC). The specific enthalpy of wet steam is h = hf + x3 hfg = (2409) = 1928 kj/kg (The values are found in tables for saturated steam). The power out of the turbine is P = m s Δh = 55( ) = 64.3 MW D.J.Dunn 10

11 CONDENSER The condenser removes energy from the steam and converts it back to water. Applying the Steady Flow Energy Equation gives: Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s There is no work (power) extracted from a condenser. Kinetic and potential energy terms are negligible so the equation reduces to = ΔH = m (Δh) Φ is the heat transfer rate from the steam and water. Δh is the change in enthalpy of the steam and water. WORKED EXAMPLE No. 9 A steam condenser receives 55 kg/s of wet steam at 0.07 bar and 0.73 dryness fraction. The steam is completely condensed to saturated water. Assuming 100% heat transfer, determine the heat transfer to the cooling water. If the cooling water temperature must not rise by more than 20K, what should the flow rate be? Assume the specific heat of water is 4.2 kj/kg K. The specific enthalpy of the steam entering the condenser is: h = hf + x hfg = (2409) = 1928 kj/kg (from tables at 0.07 bar) The specific enthalpy of the condensate is simply hf at 0.07 bar = 163 kj/kg The heat transfer from the steam is = m s (Δh) = 55( ) = 97.1 MW If all this is transferred to the cooling water then the we can equate : m w c w ΔT = m w 4.2 (20) = kw m w 1156 kg/s (4.2)(20) SELF ASSESSMENT EXERCISE No. 2 A steam condenser takes in wet steam at 8 kg/s and dryness fraction This is condensed into saturated water at outlet. The working pressure is 0.05 bar. Calculate the heat transfer rate. ( = kw) D.J.Dunn 11

12 PUMPS Pumps come in many types and sizes. A large boiler will have circulation pumps, feed water pumps, condensate pumps and cooling water circulation pumps. The energy given to the water by the pump is also found from the Steady Flow Energy Equation as Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s The ideal pump has no heat loss and again the change in potential and kinetic energies are usually negligible so this reduces to: P = ΔH = m (Δh) Remember that Δh = Δu + Δ(pV). If the water is incompressible, the temperature is not raised and the volume does not change so Δu = 0 and Δ(pV) = VΔp. The work (power) transferred from the fluid is then: P = V Δp The actual power input to the pump is greater because of mechanical losses and friction in the impeller. There may also be some heat loss from the casing but this is very small in comparison to the power on large feed pumps. If losses of all kinds are taken into account we define the overall efficiency of the pump as Ideal Power η Actual Power WORKED EXAMPLE No. 10 A circulation pump delivers 40 kg/s with a pressure rise of 2 bar. The overall efficiency is 82%. Calculate the power input required. Neglecting Kinetic and Potential Energy P = V Δp The volume = mass/density The density of water is nominally 1000 kg/m 3 V = 40/1000 = 0.04 m 3 /s P = 0.04 x 2 x 10 5 = 8000 W D.J.Dunn 12

13 WORKED EXAMPLE No. 11 A feed pump delivers 55 kg/s of water. The inlet pressure is 1.0 bar and the delivery pressure is 100 bar. The inlet temperature is 40 o C. The efficiency of the pump is 85% and is entirely due to mechanical effects. Heat loss, kinetic and potential energy may be taken as negligible. Assume that the specific volume of water is kg/m 3 and specific heat is 4.2 kj/kg K. Calculate the power input. Calculate the specific enthalpy of the water leaving the pump. Estimate the temperature at exit. To solve this apparently simple problem, we would need very accurate tables and more advanced theory (involving a property called entropy) to work out the temperature rise over the pump and this would turn out to be quite small. With the information available, we can only assume that the the ideal power is P = V Δp V = 55 x = kg/s P = 0.055(100-1) x 105 = x 10 3 W = kw Actual Power input = 544.5/85% = 544.5/0.85 = kw The specific enthalpy of the water at inlet to the pump is approximately the product of specific heat x temperature in o c giving h = c θ = 4.2 x 40 = 168 kj/kg. The table previous gives 168 kj/kg so we will take this rounded figure. Applying the SFEE to the pump and ignoring KE and PE we have: Φ + P = ΔH/s = mδh and Φ = 0 so P = mδh = 55 Δh Hence Δh = 11.7 kj/kg The specific enthalpy at outlet is = kj/k The exit temperature could be obtained from accurate tables. A rough estimate is: θ = h/specific heat = 179.7/4.2 = 42.8 o C D.J.Dunn 13

14 COMPRESSORS INSTALLATIONS The purpose of a compressor is to produce a flow of gas and overcome the pressure on the delivery side. An industrial compressor may be fitted with cooling systems. There are many types for many functions. The capacity of the air compressor is usually rated as the volume flow rate at atmospheric conditions and this is called the Free Air Delivery. In other words it is the volume based on bar and 20 o C which has a density of kg/m 3. SCREW TYPE VANE TYPE CENTRIFUGAL AXIAL VANE One of the most versatile compressors is the reciprocating type. A typical case is shown below. Applying the SFEE we have: Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s We can normally neglect Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy so this reduces to: Φ + P = (H)/s = m c p Δ(θ) The Heat loss Φ may be calculated when the compressor is water cooled, otherwise this is difficult. The specific heat is usually taken as the value at the average temperature. For air this is normally around kj/kg K. D.J.Dunn 14

15 WORKED EXAMPLE No. 12 A water-cooled reciprocating air compressor delivers 3.41 m 3 /min FAD. The cooling water flows at kg/s and its temperature is raised by 20 K. The air temperature is raised by 80 K. The specific heat of the water and air are respectively 4.2 kj/kg K and kj/kg K. Calculate the theoretical power input. The actual power input is 7.1 kw. What is the overall efficiency of the compressor? Φ = m w c w Δθ = x 4.2 x 20 = kw this is a heat loss so it is negative. The change in enthalpy for the air is ΔH = m a c p Δθ The mass flow rate of air = volume/density = 3.41/1.205 = 2.83 kg/min or kg/s ΔH = m a c p Δθ = (0.0471)(1.005)(80) = 3.79 kw Apply the SFEE Φ + P = (H)/s = m c p Δ(θ) P = 3.79 kw P = 5.55 kw This is the theoretical power input. Efficiency η = 5.55/7.1 = 0.78 or 78% SELF ASSESSMENT EXERCISE No A steady flow air compressor draws in air at 20oC and compresses it to 120oC at outlet. The mass flow rate is 0.7 kg/s. At the same time, 5 kw of heat is transferred into the system. Take cp as 1005 J/kg K. Calculate the following. i. The change in enthalpy per second. (70.35 kw) ii. The work transfer rate. (65.35 kw) 2. A steady flow boiler is supplied with water at 15 kg/s, 100 bar pressure and 200oC. The water is heated and turned into steam. This leaves at 15 kg/s, 100 bar and 500oC. Using your steam tables, find the following. i. The specific enthalpy of the water entering. (856 kj/kg) ii. The specific enthalpy of the steam leaving. (3373 kj/kg) iii. The heat transfer rate. (37.75 kw) 3. A pump delivers 50 dm3/min of water from an inlet pressure of 100 kpa to an outlet pressure of 3 MPa. There is no measurable rise in temperature. Ignoring K.E. and P.E, calculate the work transfer rate. (2.417 kw) 4. A water pump delivers 130 dm3/minute (0.13 m3/min) drawing it in at 100 kpa and delivering it at 500 kpa. Assuming that only flow energy changes occur, calculate the power supplied to the pump. (0.86 kw) 5. A steam condenser is supplied with 2 kg/s of steam at 0.07 bar and dryness fraction 0.9. The steam is condensed into saturated water at outlet. Determine the following. i. The specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet. (2331 and 163 kj/kg) ii. The heat transfer rate kw) D.J.Dunn 15

16 REFRIGERATION PLANT Refrigeration plant contains many of the same features as steam plant but the fluids used are different. A basic circuit is shown below containing a compressor, a cooler/condenser and a heater/evaporator. The other feature shown is a throttle valve and this needs to be studied next. BASIC REFRIGERATION PLANT STRIPPED TO BARE PIPEWORK. THROTTLE VALVE A throttle is simply a restriction used to drop the pressure of the fluid with high pressure at inlet and low pressure at outlet. The diagram shows a variable type. A fixed type might be as simple as a narrow coiled tube as seen in domestic refrigerators. The affect of dropping the pressure depends on the type and condition of the fluid. In refrigerators this is usually a liquid near to the saturation temperature so that a drop in pressure causes the liquid to boil and instantly evaporate into a wet vapour with an accompanying drop in temperature. Applying the SFEE we have: Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s In this case there is no work (power) and no heat transfer. The change in potential energy is zero negligible. The kinetic energy could be a factor depending on the pipe sizes, especially if the fluid expands into a gas with a large volume but velocities should be kept small to avoid losses. If this is the case then we have the simple result: (H)/s = 0 and Δh/s = 0 This means that the enthalpy and hence specific enthalpy has the same value at inlet and outlet. Remember that enthalpy is the sum of two other energies, internal energy (U) and flow energy (pv) so: U 1 + p 1 V 1 = U 2 + p 2 V 2 THROTTLING A LIQUID If the liquid does not evaporate the volume V is near constant so U 1 - U 2 = V Δp The internal energy of a liquid is m c θ where c is the specific heat and θ the temperature. m c (θ 1 θ 2 ) = V Δp V Δp Δp θ1 θ2 m c ρ c This assumes the density is the same at inlet and outlet. This allows us to calculate the change in temperature. There would have to be a very large change in pressure to produce a significant temperature change (Typically 40 bar for 1 degree change). D.J.Dunn 16

17 THROTTLING A PERFECT GAS If the fluid is a gas, then h 2 h 1 = mc p Δθ = 0 It follows that Δθ = 0 and there is no change in temperature. There will be a change in volume THROTTLING A SATURATED LIQUID If a saturated liquid undergoes a drop in pressure, the saturation temperature (boiling point) is also dropped so it cannot exist as a liquid at the lower pressure. Some of the liquid must change to vapour and in the process absorbs latent heat. This causes the temperature to drop. Remember h 1 = h 2 so if we have access to tables, we can calculate the dryness fraction and determine the temperature. Hot liquids are often vented into a low pressure tank in order to cause rapid cooling and evaporation. WORKED EXAMPLE No. 13 A boiler contains high pressure hot water at 50 bar and 200 o C. A valve is opened on the bottom of the connecting it to atmosphere at bar. Determine the condition of the substance being vented. On the entry side of the valve the water has a specific enthalpy of 854 kj/kg (from the water table). h 1 = 854 kj/kg On the atmospheric side of the valve the specific enthalpy is h f + x h fg at bar. These values may be found in steam tables giving h 2 = x(2256.7) Equate 854 = x(2256.7) hence x = In other words about 81% of the mass is evaporated in the process. The temperature of the wet steam emerging from the valve is 100 o C (the saturation temperature at the lower pressure). D.J.Dunn 17

18 GAS TURBINES A basic gas turbine is illustrated below. Air is compressed and blown into a combustion chamber where it is heated. The hot air expands through the turbines which drive the compressor and produces power output. The hot gas exhausts to atmosphere. WORKED EXAMPLE No. 14 A gas turbine draws in kg/s of air at 1 bar and 10 o C. It exhausts at 1 bar and 400 o C. The power produced is 2 MW. Neglect the mass of the fuel and assume no heat losses. Neglect Potential and Kinetic Energy. Take the specific heat of the air as 1.01kJ/kg K. Determine the heat supplied by the fuel and the thermal efficiency of the unit. Taking the unit as a whole we can apply the SFEE. Φ + P = (PE)/s + (KE)/s + (H)/s Φ is the heat input from the fuel if no other source or losses exist. P = Net Power output ΔH = enthalpy change of the air. Neglecting PE and KE we have: Φ + P = (H)/s Note that P = kw because the power is removed from the system. In KW units Φ = mc p Δθ = (11.84)(1.01)(400 10) = Heat Input Φ = kw Efficiency η = P/Φ = 2000/ = 0.3 or 30% SELF ASSESSMENT EXERCISE No Boiling water at 10 bar is throttled to 1 bar. What is the temperature and dryness fraction after throttling? (99.6 o C and 0.153) 2. A gas turbine set draws in air at 20 o C and exhausts at 500 o C. The fuel supplies 48 MW of heat. The power produced is 12 MW. Neglect all other losses and the mass of the fuel burned and take the specific heat as 1.01 kj/kg K. Determine the thermal efficiency and the mass flow of the air.
