Question: Consider a heat engine through which steam flows at 3500 kg/min, with the following characteristics: TEAM T (C) P (KPA) X V (m /seg) Z

Consider a heat engine through which steam flows at 3500 kg/min, with the following characteristics:

TEAM T (C) P (KPA) X V (m /seg) Z (m)
BOILER OUTLET 298 1950 30 100
TURBINE OUTPUT 0.015 70% 50 40
CONDENSER OUTLET 45 0.014 50 40
PUMP WORK 4KJ7Kg

Determine:

to. The Power Generated by the Turbine (10%), Is the Power Consumed in the pump 10% of the Power Generated by the Turbine (5%)

b. The Heat per Unit of Time Discarded in the Condenser (5%)

c. The Heat Delivered per Unit of Time to the Boiler (10%)

d. The Thermal Efficiency of the Cycle (5%)

and. If the cycle has a Carnot Efficiency of 80%, what will be the Maximum Net Power that can be Generated? (5 %)
