1. A 60,000-kW steam engine operates at 8.0MPa and 540OC and expands at 0.0035 MPa.

The
indicated engine efficiency is 90% and the driven generator has 93% efficiency. Estimate the
enthalpy and the temperature of the actual exhaust steam. Compute for the indicated power,
mechanical efficiency, generator output, and the combine engine efficiency. Also solve for the
ideal heat rate, indicated heat rate, brake heat rate, combine heat rate and the amount of
steam delivered to the engine per hour.
