Q5/ A steam power plant operates with a boiler output of 20 kg/s steam at 2 MPa and 600°C. The condenser operates at 50 C, dumping energy intoa river that has an average temperature of 20 C. There is one open feedwater heater with extraction from the turbine at 600 kPa, and its exit is saturated liquid. Find the mass flow rate of the extraction flow. If the river water should not be heated more than 5 C, how much water should be pumped from the river to the heat exchanger (condenser)? For the temperature of condensate is (50 °C), the temperature of cooling water of condenser at inlet and outlet is (20 °C and 35 °C) respectively. The mass of condenser cooling water per kg of steam is (32 kg). Determine the dryness fraction of the steam at it enters the condenser

Q5/ A steam power plant operates with a boiler output of 20 kg/s steam at 2 MPa and
600°C. The condenser operates at 50 C, dumping energy intoa river that has an average
temperature of 20 C. There is one open feedwater heater with extraction from the turbine
at 600 kPa, and its exit is saturated liquid. Find the mass flow rate of the extraction flow. If
the river water should not be heated more than 5 C, how much water should be pumped
from the river to the heat exchanger (condenser)?
For the temperature of condensate is (50 °C), the temperature of cooling water of
condenser at inlet and outlet is (20 °C and 35 °C) respectively. The mass of condenser
cooling water per kg of steam is (32 kg). Determine the dryness fraction of the steam at it
enters the condenser
