A steam power plant that is planned to be built near river, has been proposed for an energy company with a designed power output around 15MW. As a team of engineer, design your steam power plant based on the steam cycles analysis that you have learned. Show your schematic diagram based on your design to achieve the desired power output, which is around 15MW. The design needs to consider at least a boiler, turbine, condenser and pump. Cooling for the condenser will utilize water from the nearby river; therefore, the turbine exit temperature should be reasonably low before the working fluid from the turbine exit enters the condenser. Higher turbine exit temperature will cause water from the river to increase therefore will give impact to the environment. Design consideration: i. Produce around 15MW, assuming the mass flow rate of steam is 15 kg/s ii. High thermal efficiency iii. Low heat added to boiler
