8.79 Figure P8.79 provides steady-state operating data for a cogeneration cycle that generates
electricity and provides heat for campus buildings. Steam at 1.5 MPa, 280°C, enters a two-
stage turbine with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s, A fraction of the total flow, 0.15, is extracted
between the two stages at 0.2 MPa to provide for building heating, and the remainder expands
through the second stage to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Condensate returns from the
campus buildings at 0.1 MPa, 60°C and passes through a trap into the condenser, where it is
reunited with the main feedwater flow. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 0.1 bar.
Determine
(a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the boiler, in kW,
(b) the net power developed, in kW.
(©) the rate of heat transfer for building heating, in kW.
(d) the rate of heat transfer to the cooling water passing through the condenser, in kW.

KNOWN: Water is the working fluid in a cogeneration cycle that generates electricity and
provides heating for buildings.
FIND: Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam
‘generator, (b) the net power developed, (c) the rate of heat transfer for building heating, and
(d) the rate of heat transfer to the cooling water passing through the condenser.
SCHEMATIC AND GIVEN DATA: See problem statement above and 7s diagram below.

ENGINEERING MODEL:
1, Each component is analyzed as a control volume at steady state. The control volumes are
shown on the accompanying sketch by dashed lines.
2. Water exits the condenser as saturated liquid.
3. There is no heat transfer between the outside of the condenser and the surroundings,

(b) Since the fraction of the total flow extracted at state 2 is y = 0.15, the fraction of total flow
expanded through the second stage of the turbine is (1 —y) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85. The net power
developed is obtained from analysis of the turbine and the pump. For a control volume enclosingProblem 8.79 (Continued) ~ Page 3
