How much heat must be added to the water to turn it


In a steam power plant, the boiler output is at 800 F and 900 psia.

a. If the turbine exhausts to a condenser at 10 psia, what is the unit work extracted from the steam by the turbine?

b. How much steam is needed to generate 500 MW of power?

c. If the condenser cools the vapor to saturated liquid, how much heat per lbm is extracted from the steam?

d. What is the pump work required to pressurize saturated water at 10 psia to 900 psia?

e. How much heat must be added to the water to turn it into steam at 800 F and 900 psia?

f. What is the heat rate for this power plant?
