Consider a cogeneration system operating as shown in figure. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 6 MPa, 540 C. Between the first and second stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500 kPa and diverted to a process heating load of 53108 kJ/h. Condensate exits the process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with specific enthalpy of 589.13 kJ/kg and is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 450 kPa. The entire flow is then pumped to the steam generator pressure. At the inlet to the steam generator the specific enthalpy is 469.91 kJ/kg. Saturated liquid at 60 kPa leaves the condenser. The turbine stages and the pumps operate with isentropic efficiencies of 82% and 88%, respectively. Determine the rate of exergy transfer in kJ per kg of steam entering the first-stage turbine, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator , Perform calculations to account for all outputs, losses, and destructions of this exergy. Let T0=15 C, p0=0.1 MPa
write the equations for the input, outputs, losses and destructions
