10-73 10-77 A cogeneration plant modified with regeneration is to generate power and process heat. The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler for a net power output of 25 MW is to be determined. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
