Question 10 has a choice of parts to answer.
9 The Senoko power station in Singapore contains a Combined Cycle Plant to

generate electricity. Natural gas is burnt in a combustion chamber and the hot
gases produced are used to drive' four gas turbines connected to electrical
generators.
The exhaust gases from' the' four gas turbines are passed through a Heat Re~overy
Steam Generator, which thermal energy is used to produce steam at high pressure.
Each second, 76 kg of steam is output from the Heat Recovery Steam Generator.
The steam is passed into two steam turbines which are also connected to electricaJ
generators.
The multi-stage process ensures that 46% of the total energy in the natural gas is
converted into eJectrical energy. When the Heat Recovery Steam Generator and
steam turbines are used, the total electrical output of the plant increases without
burning more natural 9as- '
Details of the gas and steam turbines are given and a simplified diagram of the
Heat Recovery Steam Generator is shown in Fig. 9.1.
