Problem 5(10.121)
The power plant shown in Fig. 10.24 combines a gas-turbine cycle and a steam-turbine cycle. The following data are known for the gas-turbine cycle. Air enters the compressor at 100kPa,25C, the compressor pressure ratio is 14, the heater input rate is 60 MW ; the turbine inlet temperature is 1250C, the exhaust pressure is 100 kPa ; the cycle exhaust temperature from the heat exchanger is 200C. The following data are known for the steam-turbine cycle. The pump inlet state is saturated liquid at 10 kPa , the pump exit pressure is 12.5 MPa ; turbine inlet temperature is 500C. Determine
a. The mass flow rate of air in the gas-turbine cycle.
b. The mass flow rate of water in the steam cycle.
c. The overall thermal efficiency of the combined cycle.
