What is the heat rejection for the condenser


Consider a small simple Rankine Power cycle which produces 600kW power from an electric generator with an efficiency of 95%. The steam leaves the boiler at 1250psia as superheated steam and leaves the turbine at 2 psia with a quality of 90%. What is the mass flow rate of steam through the turbine, Ib/h? If the boiler has an efficiency of 85% and bums natural gas with a heating value of 100,000 btu/therm at a cost of $1.25/therm, what does it cost to provide natural gas to this plant in $/hr? What is the heat rejection for the condenser in btu/h? If the condenser is water cooled with cooling water entering at 85deg F and leaving at 100 deg F, what flow rate of cooling water is required in gpm?
