No 1:
A Practical Rankine cycle power plant will be designed with power rate 150 MW, Steam provided at 6,000
kPa and 500 deg. C and the exit turbine pressure is 30 kPa and discharge to the condenser. Calculate the
thermal efficiency of the cycle, mass rate of steam and quality and condition of steam at exit turbine.
Coal will be used as fuel value that has heating value of 10,000 Btu/lbm and the coal cost is 25 USD/ton
with environmental control will add 25% to the cost of the fuel, Operation & maintenance and capital
investment costs are 0.085 US$/kWh. How much is the minimum cost of electrical to be given to the
consumer in US$/kWh?
Repeat the calculation if the exit turbine pressure is 101.325 kPa, and give appropriate discussion about
the result.
No. 2:
A dry steam of geothermal power plant produces saturated vapor with rate of 20 kg/s. By adjusting the
wellhead valve, the steam is throttled at lower pressure of 1 MPa chosen as inlet turbine inlet pressure.
The turbine exhaust to condenser at pressure of 10 kPa. If the turbine efficiency is 0.8 based on an
isentropic process, calculate the gross power output of the turbine. Draw the process in T-S diagram.
No. 3:
Consider vapor-compression refrigeration cycle of Fig 9.1 (Texbook Smith et al. 2001) with HFC-134a used
as refrigerant. The requirement of evaporation temperature in chiller is -10 deg. F and the condensation
temperature is 90 deg. F, calculate the COP (coefficient of performance) of the refrigeration process: (a)
assume isentropic compression of the vapor, (b) assume the compressor efficiency is 75%.
No. 4:
(a) Describe liquefaction process and give an example the liquefaction process in industry
(b) Explain considerations in selection of refrigerant?
