Answer to Question #350589 in Mechanical Engineering for Zhlmrsh

Question

An ideal double-reheat steam turbine receives 300,000 kg/h of steam at 10 MPa and 400°C. After expansion from high pressure turbine shell, it is reheated twice from saturated vapor condition back to its initial temperature. The steam entering the condenser is 97% dry. Determine (a) engine work, (b) engine thermal efficiency, and (c) steam rate. (d) Considering a generator output of 100 MW with 97% generator efficiency, what are the combined heat rate, (e)brake work, (f) brake thermal efficiency, and (g)pump power

requirement.
