A 250-MW vapor dominated hydrothermal powerplant uses well steam that is saturated at 450 psia at shutoff. The steam is throttled to a turbine inlet pressure of 140 psia. A direct-contact condenser operates at a pressure of 5 psia with a cooling-water inlet temperature of 48°F. The turbine polytopic efficicency is .8 and the turbine-generator combined mechanical-electrical efficiency is .90. Calculate

(a) the steam mass flow rate, in pounds mass per hour,
(b) the condenser cooling water mas flow rate, in pounds mass per hour
(c) the cycle thermal efficiency and heat rate, in BTUs per kilowatt hour, and
(d) the difference between well flow and disposal flow, in pounds mass per hour, if the cooling tower losses by evaporation and drift are 2 percent.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
