The capital cost hydro power stations of 100MW capacity is Rs. 10,000/kW. The annual depreciation charges are 15% of the capital coat. A royalty of Rs.2/kW per year and Rs.0.3/kWH generated is to be paid for using the river water for power generation. The maximum demand on power station is 70MW and annual load factor is 0.6. The annual salaries, maintenance charges are Rs. 107. If 20% of this expense is also chargeable as fixed charges, calculate the generation charge in two-part tariff.

An open cycle gas turbine plant uses heavy oil as fuel. The maximum pressure and temperature in the cycle are 5 bar and 650°C. The pressure and temperature of the air entering into the compressor are 1 bar and 27°C. The exit pressure of the turbine is 1 bar. Assumning isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine to be 80% and 85% respectively. Find the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Overall air fuel ratio used is 60:1. Take Cp(for air & gas) = 1kJ/kg Kγ for air and gas = 1.4.
