A factory requires 3750kW of electric power and high quality steam at 107C with a mass flow rate of 2.25 kg/s. Two options are under consideration. Option 1: A single boiler generates steam at 2 MPa, 320C, supplying a turbine that exhausts to a condenser at 0.0075MPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 107C, returning as a liquid to the boiler after use. Option 2: A boiler generates steam at 2 MPa, 320C, supplying a turbine that exhausts to a condenser at 0.0075MPa. A separate process steam boiler generates the required steam at 107C, which is returned as a liquid to the boiler after use. The boilers are fired with Indian coal with 35% excess air. For 7200 hrs of operation annually, evaluate these two options by estimating and comparing the fuel costs. Consider the rate of fuel price rise every month with proper reference.
