You are designing a steam power plant based on the rankine cycle, to deliver a net power output of 250 mw. the turbine inlet state is specified as 8 mpa and 500°c, and the pump inlet state is specified as saturated liquid at 20 kpa. the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 90% and the pump is approximately isentropic. (a) sketch the layout of the plant and a t–s diagram for the cycle. (b) determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle. (c) determine the required mass flow rate of steam. (d) to reduce the cost of the boiler, it’s proposed to reduce boiler pressure to 6 mpa. the other information specified above will not change. sketch a new t–s diagram showing both the original and modified cycles. discuss the impact of the proposed change on the performance of the power plant.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
