Thermodynamic Analysis on Rankine Cycle System

Thermodynamic Analysis on Rankine Cycle System to Increase Power Plant Efficiency

The present project is based on TMD2 Palm Oil Mill Sdn Bhd, which is leading company in oil production. One of their palm oil mill plant is currently working with low efficiency and performance of its boiler and turbine, as compare to the rated capacity. Currently, the company is using a basic rankine cycle with an open system.The source of raw water for boiler is pumped from the nearby river to the reserve pond for further internal and external treatments. Superheated steam generated from boiler is used to run steam turbine for electricity generation and for heat process in the plant. The exhaust steam from turbine is then condensed and later discharged and mixed with waste water ffrom the plant operation to the effluent treatment. Based on the data of the table 1, is required to come up with a complete proposal and solution.
