Tutorial Problem: Vapour Power and Refrigeration cycle

1.In a simple Rankine cycle steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4MPa, 4000C. The condenser
pressure is 10kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency. [35.3%]
Steam Properties: 4MPa, 4000C, h=3213.5 kJ/kg, s=6.769 kJ/kgK, and 10 kPa (Tsat=45.810C), hf=191.81
kJ/kg, hg = 2584.63 kJ/kg, vf=0.001010 m3/kg, sf=0.6492 kJ/kgK and sg=8.1501 kJ/kgK.

2. In a Rankine cycle superheated steam enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 4800C. The condenser pressure is 8
kPa. Isentropic efficiencies of turbine and pump are 85% and 70% respectively. The net power output of
the cycle is 100 MW. Determine for the cycle (a) the thermal efficiency, (b) the mass flow rate of steam,
in kg/h, (c) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through boiler, in kW and (d) the mass
flow rate of condenser cooling water, in kg/h, if the cooling water enters the condenser at 150C and exits
at 350C with negligible pressure change. [34.25%, 332304kg/hr, 291945kW, 8.262x106kg/hr]
Steam Properties: 8Mpa, 4800C, h=3348.4 kJ/kg, s=6.586 kJ/kgK, and 8kPa (Tsat=41.510C), hf=173.88 kJ/kg,
hg = 2577.0 kJ/kg, vf=0.0010084 m3/kg, sf=0.5926 kJ/kgK and sg=8.2287 kJ/kgK.

3. Steam enters the turbine in a power plant at 6000C and 10MPa and is condensed at a pressure of 100kPa.
Assume the plant can be treated as an ideal cycle (Rankine cycle). (a) Determine the power produced/kg
of steam and the efficiency of the cycle. How does the efficiency compare to a Carnot cycle between these
two temperatures? (b) Redo the problem but include isentropic efficiency of 85% in the pump and turbine
both. [34.7%, 57.3%, 29.4%]
Steam Properties: 10MPa, 6000C, h=3625.3 kJ/kg, s=6.9028 kJ/kgK, and 100kPa, hf=417.5kJ/kg, hg = 2675.5
kJ/kg, vf=0.001043 m3/kg, sf=1.303 kJ/kgK and sg=7.360 kJ/kgK.

4. For a R-22 based refrigeration system, evaporator inlet temperature is –200C and condenser temperature
is 400C. Compression process is isentropic. For refrigeration capacity of 10 kW, find discharge
temperature, vapor quality and specific entropy at evaporator inlet, COP and power requirement.

[At – 200C: hf = 177 kJ/kg, hg = 397 kJ/kg, sf = 0.95 kJ/kgK, sg = 1.783 kJ/kgK; At 400C : hf = 250 kJ/kg, hg
= 416 kJ/kg, sg = 1.698 kJ/kgK, cpg = 0.995 kJ/kgK]

5. A simple R-12 plant is to develop 5 Tons of refrigeration. The evaporator and condenser temperature
are to be -100C and 400C, respectively. Determine (i) COP of the cycle, (ii)flash gas percentage after
throttling, (iii) the refrigerant mass flow rate, (iv) power required to drive the compressor, (v) heat
rejection from the cycle, (vi) the ideal volume flow rate handle by the compressor if volumetric efficiency
is 90%. [3.912, 0.305, 0.1622kg/s, 4.5kW, 22.1kW, 0.01381m3/s].
[At – 100C: vg=0.07664 m3/kg, hf = 26.851 kJ/kg, hg = 183.058 kJ/kg, sf = 0.1079 kJ/kgK, sg = 0.7014 kJ/kgK;
At 400C: hf = 74.527 kJ/kg, hg = 203.051 kJ/kg, sg = 0.6820 kJ/kgK, cpg = 0.795 kJ/kgK]

6. The air conditioner in a car uses R-134a as refrigerant which works on ideal vapour compression
refrigeration system with evaporator temperature of -100C and condenser temperature of 450C. The
compressor power input is 1.5kW. The evaporator cools down the atmosphere air from 300C to 100C and
blows it into car. Determine (i) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (ii) the cooling capacity of the unit
