Answer: Applying the First Law to Reacting SystemsMethane

Chapter 13, Problem 53P

(choose chapter or problem)

Methane (\(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), enters the combustor of a simple open gas turbine power plant and burns completely with 400% of theoretical air entering the compressor at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm. Products of combustion exit the turbine at \(577^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm. The rate of heat transfer from the gas turbine is estimated as 10% of the net power developed. Determine the net power output, in MW, if the fuel mass flow rate is 1200 kg/h. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
