The pressure at the furnace is minimum in case of___________?

In Rankine cycle the work output from the turbine is given by__________?

A. change of internal energy between inlet and outlet
B. change of enthaply between inlet and outlet
C. change of entropy between inlet and outlet
D. change of temperature between inlet and outlet

A. peak load plant
B. base load plant
C. standby plant
D. none of the above
Base Load and Peak Load power plants
Power plants are categorized as base load and peak load power plants.
Base Load Power plants:
Plants that are running continuously over extended periods of time are said to be base load power plant.
The power from these plants is used to cater the base demand of the grid. A power plant may run as a base load power plant due to various factors (long starting time requirement, fuel requirements, etc.).
Examples of base load power plants are:

 
Peak Load Power plants:
To cater the demand peaks, peak load power plants are used. They are started up whenever there is a spike in demand and stopped when the demand recedes.
Examples of Peak load power plants are:

Binary’vapour cycles are used to_____________?

A. increase the performance of the condenser
B. increase the efficiency of the plant
C. increase efficiency of the turbine

Load factor of a power station is defined as____________?

A. maximum demand/average load
B. average load x maximum demand
C. average load/maximum demand
D. none of the above

The effect of considering friction losses in steam nozzle for the same pressure ratio leads to________?

A. increase in exit velocity from the nozzle
B. decrease in exit velocity from the nozzle
C. no change in exit velocity from the nozzle
D. increase or decrease depending upon the exit quality of steam

Carnot cycle comprises of_______?

A. two isentropic processes and two constant volume processes
B. two isentropic processes and two constant pressure processes
E. two isothermal processes and three constant pressure processes
D. none of the above
