You are requested to perform a project study for a newly built small community to generate the electricity needed by its inhabitants. You are, in this regard, requested to consider a steam power plant. Assume an isentropic efficiency of 89% for the pump and 91% for the turbine.

1) Follow the following solution procedure:

Design a steam power plant. Define at least two

different fuels with any arbitrary input data.

Show the cycle on a T-s diagram.

Make CONCEPTUALLY CORRECT

assumptions.

List all properties obtained and/or calculated

and/or assumed in the table form for the plant-

based on the state points.

Write all balance equations (mass, energy,

entropy, and exergy) for each device

Perform the calculations through Cycle-Tempo software for all mass flow rates, heat and work

rates for all components.

Calculate entropy generation and exergy

destruction rates for each component.

Calculate energy and exergy efficiencies for the

entire system.

Discuss the results (with reasoning and

verification)

2) Discuss both cost and environmental impact issues for the cases considered.
