1. As the power plant engineer, you are asked by the power plant manager to design a new steam-based power plant with a net power output target of 200 MW with a thermal efficiency of 40%. Thermodynamics calculation should be conducted for the known condition illustrated in Figure 1. a. b. Boiler P, M 8.0 MPa Saturated vapor Condenser Pump Turbine W Cooling water Saturated liquid at 0.008 MPa 8.0 MPa 0.008 MPa Figure 1. Illustration of steam turbine system and its T-S diagram Calculate the back work ratio, the system's mass flow rate, and the cooling water's mass flow rate. What kind of efforts should be conducted if the plant manager asks you to increase the system's efficiency to 50%? Explain and provide proof in the form of calculation! LIAUD 1.
