HW$1001$

Problem $1.$

A steam power plant utilizes a simple cycle using the turbine, condenser, pump and of course, the boiler. Building from the problem worked in$-$class $($for the turbine process$),$ determine the following for an isobaric water$-$cooled condenser being delivered $8K\frac{g}{s}$ of $90\%$ saturated steam, $20$kPa. Steam leaves the condenser saturated liquid.

A$.$ Sketch the cycle showing the $4$ process steps?

B$.$ What is the temperature $($in $C)$ of the steam at exit?

C$.$ Determine the heat load the steam is rejecting to the water side working fluid?

D$.$ For a nominal $2"$ I.D$.$ pipe, what is the

average velocity of the steam at exit? Ask an expert
