Show proposed design meets power and process-heat


A natural gas-fired furnance in textile plant is used to provide steam at 130C/ At time of high demand, the furnace supplies heat to the steam at a rate of 30 MJ/s. The plant also uses up to 6 MW of electrical power purchsed from the local power company. The plant management is cinsidering converting the exiting process plant into a cogeneration plant to meeet both their process-heat and power requirements. Your job is to come up with some desegns. Designs based on a gas turbene or a steam turbine are to be considered. First decide whether a system based on a gas turbine or steam turbine will best serve the purpose, considering the cost and the complexity. Then propose your design for the cogeneration plant compleate with pressure and temperatures and the mass flow rates. Show that proposed design meets the power and process-heat requiere of the plant. At least one of each.
