Calculation of Turbine Efficiency

Data Available: -

Inlet steam flow = 67.5 Te/hr

Inlet steam pressure = 108.5 Kg/cm2g
Inlet steam temperature = 501 °C

Extraction steam flow = 49 Te/hr

Extraction steam pressure = 25 Kg/cm2g
Extraction steam temperature = 334 °C

Condensed steam flow = 18.5 Te/hr

Condensed steam pressure = -0.91 Kg/cm2g
Condensed steam temperature = 43.76 °C

Data required on above basis

(P = 108.5 Kg/cm2g, T = 501°C)

Enthalpy of I/L steam Ei = 804 Kcal/Kg
Entropy of I/L steam Eni = 1.5657 Kcal/Kg °K

(P = 25 Kg/cm2g, T = 334°C)
Enthalpy of I/L steam Eex = 737 Kcal/Kg
Entropy of I/L steam Enex = 1.6194 Kcal/Kg °K

(P = -0.91 Kg/cm2g, T = 43.8°C)

Enthalpy of I/L steam Ec = 617 Kcal/Kg
Entropy of I/L steam Enc = 1.94887 Kcal/Kg °K

1. Efficiency calculation of extraction section

We calculate first an enthalpy at isentropic condition (P = 25 Kg/cm2g, Eni = 1.5657 Kcal/Kg °K)
Eis

η = (Ei - Eex) / (Ei - Eis) * 100

= (804-737) / (804-705) * 100

η = 67 %
