PERFORMANCE CALCULATION

5.1 Heat Rate

Heat rate is the rate of heat input (kj/s) required to produce unit shaft output
(1kw).
Heat rate =Q1/Wnet kj/kws
5.2 STEAM RATE
It is defined as the rate of steam flow (kg/s) required producing unit shaft
output (1KW).
Steam rate=1/Wnet kg/kw

ACTUAL VALUES OF UNIT I AT FULL LOAD

HEAT RATE CALCULATION
HEAT RATE= [Qms (Hhpti-Hecoi) +Qrh (Hipti-Hhpto) +Qrhs (Hipti - Hecoi)] / LOAD
Qms= Main steam flow = 718.8 TPH
Hhpti=Enthalpy of HPT inlet
Hecoi=Enthalpy of economizer inlet
Qrh

Reheat steam flow in TPH

Hipti=Enthalpy of IPT inlet

Hhpto=Enthalpy of HPT outlet
Qrhs =Reheat spray= 18.1 TPH
Load = 215.5 MW
