What is the rate of flow of cooling water through condenser


Consider an ideal steam cycle that combines the reheat cycle and the generative cycle. The net power output of the turbine is 100,000 kw. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 1200 psia, 1000 F. After expansion to 90 psia, some of the steam goes to an open feedwater heater and the balance is reheated to 700 F, after which it expands to 1 psia. (b) What is the steady flow rate to the high pressure turbine? (c) What hp motor is required to drive each of the pumps? (d) If there is a 20 F rise in the temperature of the cooling water, what is the rate of flow of cooling water through the condenser? (e) The velocity of the steam flowing from the turbine to the condenser is limited to a maximum 400 ft/sec. What is the diameter of this connecting pipe?
