Steam leaves the boiler of a 100 MW Rankine cycle power plant at 400°C and 3.5MPa. The Turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and exhausts at 15 kPa. In the condenser, the water is subcooled to 38°C by lake water at 13°C. The pump isentropic efficiency is 75% Draw and label the T-s diagram (4 points) for this cycle and determine: 1. The cycle’s thermal efficiency (7 points) 2. The mass flow rate of the steam in the boiler (kg/h) (7 points) 3. The back-work ratio (5 points) 4. The minimum required cooling water flow rate if regulations limit the cooling water temperature rise to 10°C (kg/h) (7 points)

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine steadily at 3 MPa and 400°C and leaves at 50 kPa. If the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 66.7%, determine the actual temperature of steam at turbine exit. The mass flow rate of the steam flowing through the turbine is 218 kg/min, determine the power output from the turbine. Plot the T-s diagram.

You are to required to design a steam power cycle that must operate in the parameter space defined below. Final designs should be as close to the desired operating conditions as possible. You are to prepare an engineering report that clearly articulates your design and its analysis and should include, but is not limited to reporting on the following:
Thermodynamic principles and theory that describe the operation of your design
Analysis, including calculations of you design and the final cycle thermal efficiency, work output, required inputs and heat rejection requirements
Complete specification of the state of the working fluid at all points in the cycle
All system figures, T-s and P-v diagrams, correctly and adequately labelled such that all technical information is clearly conveyed
Max cycle thermal efficiency: 50%
Isentropic efficiency of the turbine: 80%
