This document provides instructions for analyzing a combined cycle power plant using a 20 MW simple cycle gas turbine with a firing temperature of 1600K. Students are asked to assume operating parameters for the Rankine cycle portion, including a maximum temperature of 560 C, maximum pressure of 60 Bar, and minimum pressure of 0.08 Bar. Component efficiencies are provided. Students are to determine the overall cycle efficiency using a hand calculation for the waste heat recovery steam generator and may use an open feedwater heater without reheat.

Assuming a 20 MW simple cycle gas turbine with a firing
temperature of 1600K develop an analysis of a combined cycle. Assume that Tmax in the Rankine cycle is 560 C, Pmax = 60 Bar, and Pmin = 0.08 Bar. Assume an air inlet temperature of 300 K and use realistic component efficiencies. (t = 0.88, c = 0.86, and st = 0.89). You may use interactive thermodynamics on this assignment but do a hand calculation on the waste heat recovery steam generator. You may use an open feedwater heater if you want but not a reheat. Determine the overall cycle efficiency.
