ANALYSIS BASIS
THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS BASED ON ENTROPY GENERATION LOST WORK

MAIN BOILER EFFICIENCY

Table 1. Flowrate of air ---------- 12387 kg/hr Theoretical gas flowrate ---------- 650.3 kg/hr Actual gas flowrate ---------- 691 kg/hr Actual gas flow to theoretical flow ratio --------- 96/90 m3/ton steam Boiler efficiency ---------- 90%

FOR MAIN BOILER & HEAT RECOVERY BOILER

THE ENTROPY GENERATION DEPENDS UPON THE FUEL BURNING REACTION TEMPERATURE DECREASES OF BURN GASES STEAM PRODUCTION

POWER SYSTEM
GAS GENERATOR - FEED BURNER - TURBINE - EXHAUST WATER COOLING CYCLE - PUMP - HEATER / HX - CONDENSER

GAS GENERATOR CYCLE

FOR GAS GENERATOR CYCLE

ENTROPY GENERATION DEPENDS UPON - REACTION INSIDE FEED BURNER - TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM BURN GASES TO TURBINE - EXHAUST OF BURN GASES AT LOWER PRESSURE

GENERATOR COOLING CYCLE

FOR GENERATOR COOLING CYCLE

ENTROPY GENERATION DEPENDS UPON COOLING WATER PRESSURE INCREASED BY PUMP HEAT ABSORBED BY WATER FROM HEATER/HX TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE DROP OF WATER IN CONDENSER

CONCLUSION:
The total lost work from the power and boiler room is 5349 kW or 5.3 MW. The most inefficient system being the power generation unit (gas generator and water cooling system). Lost work or inefficiencies in present facility is not very high. Drawback of the working facility is that no enhancement can be made on account of removing the inefficiencies. If the capacity of present facility needs to be expanded, very little changes can be made possible.
