Brayton Cycle
Solar Energy Based Power Plant
Wind Energy Based Power Plant
A Boiler - Closed Pressure Vessel,
Steam is generated with capacity more
than 25 litres,
Pressure more than 1 bar,
Water heated at 100 Degree C or
above.
hf
• Non Flow Energy Equation
q = u + p dV
On Rearranging,
q = h2-h1
• Heat Supplied = Change of Specific Enthalpy
• Enthalpy of Water
(hf ) = Cpw ( tf - 0)
• Enthalpy of Dry Saturated Steam (hg): Total amount of
heat required to convert 1 kg of water in to 1 kg of dry saturated
steam from freezing point.
hg = hf + hfg
• Enthalpy of Wet Steam (h): Total amount of heat required
to convert 1 kg of water at 0 Deg. C in to 1 kg of wet steam at
specified dryness fraction.
h = hf + X * hfg
