INTRODUCTION

Both the historical and the present day civilization of mankind closely interwoven
with energy, and there is little reason to doubt but that in the future our existence will be ever
more dependent upon this things called energy. Mere existence requires that even an animal
produce and expend it. Until man found ways to utilize energy from source outside and beyond
his own physical efforts, his status on earth was quite animal-like.
So as this subject is making us design power plant steam and we select our
alternative sources of power. First we select what location we are going to build our power plant.
In our mind we select the place that we can also enjoy the fruits of our labor, so we selected to
build power plant in our home place in Agusan. This plant can supply power over entire
CARRAGA region. We select to build our steam power plant in Agusan Del Norte and our
source of renewable plant in case steam is not available is hydro power plant which will build in
the Macalang Buenavista.
Energy probably was the original stuff of creation. As we encounter it about us, energy
appears in many dorms, but has one thing in common-energy is possessed of the ability to
produce a dynamic, vital effect, if a person has a good and comprehensive idea of energy, it is
quite simple for him to understand the technical meaning of power, for power is the rate at which
energy is produce and consumed,. However, it is in connection with the mechanical and
electrical forms of energy and, to a certain extent of radiation energy is not ordinarily thought of
as power. Power is primarily associated with mechanical work of electrical energy.
In common usage, a machine or assemblage of equipment that produces and delivers a
flow of mechanical and electrical energy is a power plant. However, what we generally mean by
terms is that assemblage of equipment, permanently locate in some chosen site, which receive
raw energy in the form of a substance capable of being operated on in such way as to produce
electrical energy for delivery from the power plant.
A steam power plan is basically an external-combustion engine. The combustion takes
place outside the engine, and the thermal energy released during this process is transferred to the
steam as heat. Steam power plants are rather effective and can be used in more ways than one.
The figure below depicts a basic steam power plant design. First, water is pumped form a
reservoir. Fuel, like waste coal (coal that has been used), are dumped into the boiler and heated at
amazingly hot temperatures. The pump then pumps water into the water where it is heated and
steam is generated. The steam is then ran through a turbine where is then produced. This power
is sent to companies which send electricity to communities, businesses, etc. The extra steam is
then sent to condenser, where it is cooled and returns the steam to a water/gas state. The watery
remains are pumped back through the system and process start over again .While the gas state is
exhausted into the air. Some plants do not returns the water/gas state into the system at all just
exhaust all of it into either a river or into the air.

A steam power plan continuously convert the energy stored in the fossil fuels (coal, oil,
natural gas) or fossil fuel (uranium, thorium) into shaft work and ultimately into electricity. The
working fluid is water which is sometimes in the vapor phase during its cycle operations. Energy
released by the burning of fuel is transferred to water in the boiler to generate steam at a high
pressure and temperature, which then expands in the turbine in a low pressure to produce shaft
work. The steam leaving the turbine is condensed into water in the condenser where cooling
water from the river or a sea circulates carrying away the heat released during condensation. The
water (condensate) is then fed back the boiler bay the pump and the cycle do on repeating itself.
Hydro-power is a natural resource, available wherever a sufficient volume of steady
water flow exists. The development of large-scale of hydro-power today requires extensive
construction, including storage lakes, dams: bypass canals, and the installation of large turbine
and electric generating equipment. Because the development of hydroelectric power requires a
large capital investment, it is often uneconomical for a region where coal or oil is cheap, even
though the cost of fuel for steam-powered generating plant is higher than the cost of running a
hydroelectric plant.
Hydropower converts the energy of flowing water into electricity or hydroelectricity. The
amount of electricity generated is determined by the volume of water and the amount of head
(the height from the turbines in the power plant to the water surface) created by the dam. The
greater the flow and head, the more electricity is produced.
Hydropower machine is the designation used for a machine that directly converts the
hydraulic power in water in a water fall to mechanical power on the machine shaft. This power
conversion involves losses that arise partly in the machine itself and partly in the water conduits
to and from the machine. The utilization of the power in the waterfall is evaluated by the socalled power plant efficiency a, which is the ratio between the mechanical power plan outputs
from the machine shaft and the gross hydraulic power of the power plant. The plant efficiency
a is a variable quantity that depends on the design of the water conduits to and from the
hydropower machine and the operating conditions. The conduits are normally made with flow
cross according to optimal design criteria.
Hydroelectricity is produced in a hydroelectric power plant. In this plant, the water is
released from a high location. The potential energy present in the water is converted into kinetic
energy, which is then used to rotate the blades of a turbine. The turbine is hooked to the generator
which produces electricity.

From section 8-4, p.228 of Frederick T. Morse, the pressure loss due to pipe friction
and throttling at extraction nozzle from 5% to 7% pressure drop and the temperature difference
can be increased by 1.7 to 2.8. Used 2.8 for design puposes.

V. EVAPORATOR DESIGN
1. EVAPORATOR AND WATER TREATMENT
Evaporator
Within a downstream processing system, several stages are used to further isolate and
purify the desired product. The overall structure of the process including pretreatment, solid
-liquid separation, concentration, and purification and formulation. Evaporation fall into the
concentration stage of downstream processing and is widely used to concentrate foods,
chemical, and salvage solvent. The goal of evaporation is to vaporize most of the water from
a solution will usually still contain 85-98% water. This is not suitable for industry usage
because of the cost associated with processing such a large quantity of solution, such as the
need for large equipment.
Water can be removed from solution in ways other than evaporation, including
membrane process, liquid-liquid extraction, crystallization and precipitation. Evaporation can
be distinguished from some other drying methods in that the final product of evaporation is a
concentrated liquid, not a solid. It is also relatively simple to use and understand since it has
been widely used on large scale. In order to concentrate a product by water removal, an
auxiliary phase is used which allows for easy transport of solvent rather than the solute.
Heat is needed to provide enough energy for the molecules of the solvent to leave the
solution and move into air surroundings the solution. The energy needed can be expressed as
an excess thermodynamic potential of the water in the solution. Leading to on big problem in
industrial power plan.
When designing evaporator engineers must quantify the mount of steam needed for
every mass unit of water removed when a concentration is given. An energy balance must be
used based on an assumption that a negligible amount of heat is lost to the system
surroundings. the heat that need to be and vaporized the water. Another consideration is the
size of the heat exchanger which effects the heat transfer rate.
Q=UA (T1-T2) where
U=overall heat transfer coefficient
A=heat transfer area
q=overall heat transfer rate

Referring to the table of mass bled in chapter 1 where the mass flow is 2% if the total
steam flow entering the turbine, the heat transfer (q) is found to be; q=3394.5KW =
11583000Btu/hr.

From equation 8-2, pp.351 by POTTER, the heat transfer area; A=q/Um where (qm)
is the heat head and is equal to 27.8 a 50 as obtained in chapter 1.
Looking at the fig. 8-34, pp. 391 by POTTER, for a saturation temperature =285 the
heat transfer coefficient U is founded to be U= 555 Btu/fthr- knowing these value, the
resulting heat transfer area is A=39.

B. Make-up Water treatment

The make-up water is treated in a demineralizing plant capable of producing


46.32kg/s of treated water. The raw water should pass coagulation after which is filtered by
stages of mechanical filters; this is to make sure that it is free from impurities. By then it is
ready for cationic and anionic filtration.
The result should have the following quality.

Total hardness not more than 1 ppm;


Total salt content not more than 1 ppm;
Total alkalinity not more than 3 ppm;
Silica content not more than 3 ppm;
These limits of tolerance are based on the table 13-5, pp.527 by the book of MORSE.

VI. FEED WATER HEATER DESIGN


The feed water used in the steam boiler is a means of transferring heat energy from
the burning fuel to the mechanical energy of the spinning steam turbine. The total feed water
consists of recirculate condensed steam, referred to as condensate, from the steam turbine
plus purified make-up water. Because the metallic materials it contacts are subject to
corrosion at high temperature and pressure, the makeup water is highly purified before use.
A system of water softeners and ion exchanger demineralizer produces water pure
that it coincidentally becomes an electrical insulator, with conductivity in the range of 0.31.0 micro Siemens per centimeter. The make-up water in a 500Mwe pant amounts perhaps 20
Us gallons per minutes (1.25 L/s_) to offset the small losses from steam leaks in the system.

The feed water cycle begins with condensate water being pumped out of the condenser after
kilometer through the steam turbine. The condensate flow rate at full load in a 500 Mw plant
is about 6000 US gallons per minutes (0.38/s). The water flows through a series of six or
seven intermediate feedwater heaters, heated up at each point with the steam extracted from
an appropriate duct on the turbines and gaining temperature at each stage. Typically, the
condensate plus the makeup water then flows through a dearator that removes dissolve air
from the water, further purifying and reducing its corrosivity. The water may be dosed
following this point with hydrazine, a chemical that removes the remaining oxygen in the
water to below 5 parts per billion(ppb). It is also with pH control agents such as ammonia or
morpholine to keep the residual acidity low and non-corrosive.
Feed water heaters are basically small condenser, in designing a feed water heater, the
method is analologous to the design of the condensers except that the feed water heaters are
never less than two-pass, and maybe four or six pass, while the condensers are generally one
or two-pass.

VII. PIPE SCHEDULING


Within industry, piping is a system of pipes used to convey fluids from one
location to another. The engineering discipline of piping design studies the best and most
efficient manner of transporting fluid to where it is most needed.
Industrial process piping (and accompanying in-line components) can be
manufactured from wood, glass, glass, steel, aluminum, plastic and concrete. The in-line
components known as fittings valves and other devices typically sense and control the
pressure, flow rate and temperature of the transmitted fluid, and usually are included when
one discussion the concept of piping design, Piping system are documented in the piping and
instrumentation diagram. If necessary pipes can be cleaned by the tube cleaning process.
Plumbing is a piping system that the most people are familiar with, as it
constitutes the form of fluid transportation that is used to provide potable water and fuels to
their homes and business. Plumbing pipes also remove waste in the form of sewage, and
allow venting of sewage gases to the outdoors. Fire sprinkler systems also use piping and
many transport potable or non-potable water or other fire-suppression fluids.
Piping also has many other industrial applications, which are crucial for
moving raw and semi-processed fluids for refining into more useful products. Some of the
more exotic materials of construction are titanium, chrome-molly and various other steel
alloys.
