Hello, i have an example question with an answer already given. Please help me in finding its solution so i can review and see the process and understand the concept. Thank you very much1.Question: Water at 15°C is pumped from a reservior at a rate of 0.1131 m3/s where the local atmospheric pressure is 94.6 kPa. The total head loss in the suction pipe is 1 m. From the manufacturer data, the NPSHrequired at this operating point is 7.8. Determine the maximum height hs (meters) before cavitation can occur. Round off your answer to 3 decimal places.Answer: 0.669
A single effect evaporator has a thermal load, Qe = 2355 kJ/s and the heating steam temperature is 115 °C. The seawater temperature, Tcw = 30 °C, and the feed seawater temperature, Tf, is less than the boiling temperature, Tb, by 10oC. The distillate product flow rate is to be 1 kg/s. Use the same salinity and flow rates given in Example 1 for the feed seawater and reject brine. Calculate: a) the boiling temperature, b) the heat transfer areas, and c) the flow rate of the cooling seawater.
Design a hydrocooling unit to cool down fruits and vegetables from 30 °C to 5 °C in 20 minutes at a rate of 20,000 kg of fruit or vegetables/h. The design must fulfill the following requirements: The unit will be an immersion flooded system. It must be able to cool down and transport the products in chill water. The tank has the following dimensions approximate. three meters wide and up to 90 cm hight. The water will circulate and be cooled through the evaporation section of a refrigeration system. The refrigerant temperature inside the coils will be -2 °C, and the water temperature must not drop below 1 °C and must not exceed 6 °C. Assuming reasonable values for the average density, specific heat, and porosity of the product (the fraction of the volume of air in a box), recommend reasonable values for: The speed of the water through the canal, the capacity of the cooling system. the compressor power.
b) The high pressure units on a steam plant operate at 10bar (gauge), and the condensate is sub-cooled by 9.5K. If the mass flow rate of condensate is 10 kg/s, use the provided steam tables to determine how much saturated steam at 1.5 bar this condensate could produce. Note it is sufficiently accurate for high pressure condensate, as in this question, to assume that the specific enthalpy is the same as for the saturated liquid at the same temperature.
The following data for steam con denser: Steam condensed =50000 kg/h; Temperature of steam in condenser = 40 oC; Dryness of steamentering into condenser=0.85; The air leakage in the condenser = 150 kg/h;Temperature of the condensate = 35oC. Find: (1) The air leakage pressure. (2)Quantity of cooling water passed through the condenser per hour if the rise incooling water temperature is limited to 10oC
Can you help me solve this? Figure below shows a steam jet refrigeration system that produces chilled water in a flash chamber. The chamber is maintained at a pressure by the steam ejector, which removes the vapor generated by entraining it in the low-pressure jet and discharging into the condenser. The vacuum pump removes air and other non-condensable gases from the condenser shell. For the conditions shown on the figure, determine the make-up water and cooling water flow rates in kg/hr.
The condensing pressure for a Rankine engine is 0.001325 MPavac. Calculate the following for steam flow rate = 16.3846 kg/sec of steam when the steam at the beginning of expansion is at 119.6 deg SH and 4.0 Mpaa. Draw the TS and equipment diagrams for the ideal and actual case and find for the following for the ideal case:
In drawing block flow diagrams, is the make-up stream always inserted in the recycle stream?
Please with proper solution. Thanks An R-22 compressor has a 5 percent clearance volume and a displacement rate of 80 L/s and pumps against a condensing temperature of 40°C. For the two different evaporating temperatures of +10 °C, compute the refrigerant flow rate in kg/s assuming that the clearance volumetric efficiency applies.
Steam is generated at 4.10 Mpa and 440°C and condensation occurs at 0.105 MPa a. For a Rankine engine operating between these limits, computethe thermal efficiency and the heat rate b. Considering that a Rankine cycle occurs between same limits, determine QA, QR, Wnet and eth c. What mass flow rate is required for a net output of 30 000 kW Don't answer the given problem, just give me the schematic diagram and t-s diagram of the given problem
Using that information and this table For the average monthly rate of geothermal heat available, determine, for the real case: in a tabular format and show sample calculation for one month. the necessary monthly average mass flow rate (in kg/s) of the refrigerant that must be pumped through the heat exchanger to collect the thermal energy from the available geothermal hot water flow rate if the hot water was cooled by 5°C. What should be the flow capacity (in kg/s) of feed pump of the ORC heat engine that you are designing and the monthly average net electric power generation capacity (in kW). 2. the monthly average net electric power generation capacity (in kW) and yearly average net electrical power generation capacity (in kW).
Steam at a pressure of 28kpa is passed into condenser and it leaves as condensate at a temperature of 592 0 Cooling water circulates through the condenser at the rate 9 of 45 kg/min.
