Steam enters the turbine of a simple vapor power plant

Chapter 8, Problem 8.16

(choose chapter or problem)

Steam enters the turbine of a simple vapor power plant with a pressure of 12 MPa and a temperature of 600\(^{\circ}\)C and expands adiabatically to condenser pressure, p. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at pressure p. The isentropic efficiency of both the turbine and the pump is 84%.

(a) For p = 30 kPa, determine the turbine exit quality and the cycle thermal efficiency.

(b) Plot the quantities of part (a) versus p ranging from 6 kPa to 100 kPa.
