Design a simple Rankine cycle for your LNG plant. Your process should be scaled to produce 50MW of net power. Minimum driving force=5-degree Fahrenheit; Isentropic efficiency=88%; Cooling water inlet temp.=60 degree Fahrenheit; Turbine inlet steam Temp=950 degree Fahrenheit. Assume you have saturated liquid leaving the condenser, no pressure drops in heat exchangers, and a minimum turbine outlet quality of 95%.

a. A process flow diagram with streams numbered and for steam and cooling water in lb./hr.

b. A table of the following stream properties at each location: Stream number, temperature (degree F), Pressure(psia), mass flow rate(lbm/hr).

c. supporting calculations.

d. Assuming your heat source is natural gas, estimate the daily cost for heat added (research cost online for natural gas by heat content), and the thermal efficiency of the plant

I don't have a photo of question as it was given by professor in the class.

An 850-MW Rankine cycle operates with turbine inlet steam at 1200 psia and 1000°F and condenser pressure at 1 psia. There are three feedwater heaters placed optimally as follows: (a) the high-pressure heater is of the closed type with drains cascaded backward; (b) the intermediate-pressure heater is of the open type; (c) the low- pressure heater is of the closed type with drains pumped forward. Each of the turbine sections has the same polytropic efficiency of 90 percent. The pumps...

A steam power plant runs on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters both the high and low pressure turbines at 500oC. The maximum and minimum pressures of the cycle are 10 MPa and 10 kPa, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is 4% if the actual expansion process is adiabatic; 8.5% if the ideal expansion process is isentropic. The isentropic efficiencies of the high-pressure...
