31. The annual peak load on a 30 MW power station is 25 MW. The power station
supplies loads having maximum demands of 10MW, 8.5 MW, 5 MW and 4.5 MW. The annual
load factor is 45%. Calculate Energy supplied per year in kW-hrs.

32. A four-stroke, 8 cylinder diesel engine with bore and stroke of 9 inches and 12
inches respectively and speed of 950 rpm has a brake meaneffective pressure of 164
psi. The specific fuel consumption is 0.39 Ib/bhp-hr and the fuel heating value is
18,500 BTU/Ib. Detemine the thenal
efficiency

33. At 100 KPa and 300 K, air enters a gas turbine's 85% isentropic efficient
compressor. The temperature at the turbine's inlet is 1400 K, with an isentropic
efficiency of 88%. The system's pressure ratio is 10. Using air standard analysis,
calculate the back work ratio for k= 14 gnd cp = 1.005 kJ/kg-k.

34. The elevation difference between the surface of the water in a

reservoir and the intake of a turbine was 140 feet. During a test at the turbine's
intake, the pressure head was 130 feet and the discharge was 50 feet per second.
The penstock's interior diameter was 35 inches. What was
the penstock's efficiency?

35. The turbine power of a geothermal power plant is 2 MW and the

enthalpy at the inlet of the turbine is 2500 kJ/kg. Steam flows at the rate of 2.5
kg/s. If the enthalpy at the outlet of the condenser is 300 kJ/kg and the
temperature rise of the cooling water is 10 C, what is the volume flow rate
of cooling water in m/hr.

36. In a geothermal power plant, the enthalpies of the ground water and
the turbine inlet are 1500 kJ/kg and 3500 kJ/kg. respectively. If the
enthalpy of the hot water in the flash tank is 700 kJ/kg and the mass flow
rate of steam is 15 kg/s, what is the mass flow rate of ground water?
