Question: 5 . A processing plant requires 7 2 0 0 kg / h of saturated steam or slightly superheated steam at 0 . 4 Mpa,

5. A processing plant requires 7200kg/h of saturated steam or slightly superheated steam at 0.4Mpa, which is extracted from a steam turbine. The turbine receives 5kg/s of steam at 7.5Mpa and 450\deg C. The saturated liquid condensate from the process heater is pumped back into the discharge line of the feed pump. The condenser pressure is 10Kpa. Determine (a) the net power produced; (b) the utilization factor;(c) the enthalpy of the water entering the steam generator.
