CAB 4323 Plant Utility Systems Assignment # 4

Due Date : 6th Nov. 2011 Consider the steam system below, B1 and B2 are steam boilers operating part-load at 60%.

1. Find the power generated from the expansion of steam at 40 bar, 440oC to 15 bar in turbine T1. 2. Find the flow rate of steam from the 40 bar header to 2 bar header through turbine T1. 3. Given the flow of steam from boiler B1 is 40 t/h, calculate the maximum total steam capacity that can be delivered by both boilers B1 and B2. 4. Calculate the steam usage in PROCESS A and PROCESS B. 5. If boiler B1 breaks down, will PROCESS A and PROCESS B? Show calculations to justify your answer. 6. If PROCESS A is shut-down as a response to boiler B1 break-down, determine the amount of energy import needed from the national electricity grid in order to maintain power delivery of 6.0 MW from the steam system..
