Consider a rankine cycle, where steam enters the turbine @ 5 mpa, 500 °c and exits at 12.35 kpa. the cycle produce 10,000 kw of electricity. determine the cycle efficiency and the steam amount needed. (in)

cycle efficiency: 0.11

steam amount needed: 8.327  kg/s

Explanation:

Points 1,2,3 and 4 are depicted in first figure attached. h means enthalpy and s means entropy .

Assumption

Interpolation to get (see second figure)

p (MPa)h (kJ/kg)

4         3445.3  

5        

6         3422.2

(3445.3 - 3422.2)/(4 - 6) = (3445.3 - )/(4 - 5)

In a similar way is computed as 6.9852 kJ/(kg K)

At 12.35 kPa, i. e., 0.1235 bar (see third figure): = 0.6922; = 8.093; = 205.82 ; = 2590.575 (again from interpolation, units omitted)

Quality (x) =

Enthalpy =

In a similar way is computed as 205.83 kJ/kg.

Point 4 is computed as saturated liquid at 5 MPa; then, = 1154.2 kJ/kg (see fourth figure).  

Efficiency is calculated as

Energy balance at turbine gives

can you make it more obvious. i can't see it properly

One of the benefits of working with chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe is that it can be cut with a variety of different tools that don’t require any electricity or heat. However, different cutting methods are preferred over others, depending on the application.

When cutting CPVC pipe, it is important to make a square, flat cut. An uneven cut limits the bonding area and weakens the fitting.

To help you make the best possible cut, we’ve put together the following dos and don’ts when cutting CPVC pipe in different situations.
