Mechanical Engineering

A CCGT uses natural gas of net calorific value 50.05 MJ/kg asthe fuel is utilised in a gas turbine power plant fitted with aheat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in its exhaust. There is asingle gas turbine, which has a net power output of 176 MW; theexhaust gas from that turbine is fed into the HRSG which in turn isused to supply steam to a steam turbine.

The operating details for the gas turbine are:

Compressor inlet pressure: 100 kPa Compressor pressure ratio:15:1

Ambient/air inlet temperature: 300 K

Turbine entry temperature: 1400 K Turbine exhaust pressure: 120kPa

Isentropic efficiency of the compression is 88%, and that ofexpansion is 92%.

The operating details for the steam side are:

Turbine entry steam pressure: 50 bar

Turbine entry steam temperature: 450 °C

Condenser pressure: 0.1 bar Pinch point temperature difference:25 °C

Turbine isentropic efficiency is 90%; neglect the feed pumpwork.

a. Find mass flow rate of the natural gas to the combustionchamber,

b. mass flow rate of air in the compressor,

c. and the mass flow rate of gas in the turbine andthermal/cogeneration efficiency.
