    The document describes a cogeneration plant that uses a boiler producing steam at 30 bar pressure and 350°C temperature to power a back pressure steam turbine. It then asks the reader to: (1) Calculate the heat to power ratio for the plant and other parameters; (2) Re-calculate the heat to power ratio assuming 80% turbine efficiency; and (3) Compare it to a condensing steam turbine with 50°C condensing temperature. It then asks the reader to repeat parts (1)-(2) assuming increased boiler pressure and superheat temperature, and a higher process heat requirement of 150°C.

    ESL 784 Cogeneration and energy efficiency ASSIGNMENT 1 1.

    An industrial process requires heat at approximately 120oC (take rounded pressure). The boiler produces steam at 30 bar pressure and temperature 350oC. The steam is supplied to the back pressure steam turbine. (a) Find the heat to power ratio for the cogeneration plant. [Also find other parameters such as dryness fraction and specific steam consumption]. (b) Find the heat to power ratio for the plant if the turbine efficiency is 80%. (c) Compare with condensing steam turbine with condensing temperature of 50oC. 2. If the boiler pressure is increased to 60 bar and superheat temperature to 430oC, how will the above results change? Repeat parts (a) and (b) of question 1. 3. If the Process heat requirement is approximately 150oC (take rounded pressure), repeat parts (a) and (b) of question 1.
