Gas Turbine Cogeneration Plant Energy Efficiency A

gas turbine-based cogeneration facility is shown in Figure

P1.4. The values provided in Figure P1.4 are the energy

input rate to each operation. You will note that energy balances

do not close “perfectly.” There are thermal losses in the

process that are not directly shown in the figure. Determine

the cogeneration plant net heat rate as British thermal unit per

kilowatt-hour and also develop the Sankey energy flow

diagram.
