Pls. Answer thank you! A cooling tower has an efficiency of 65%. Water enters the tower at 55°C. The wet bulb temperature of surrounding air is 27°C. What is the temperature of water leaving the tower?
You, a process design engineer, are tasked to build a powerplant with a net output of 1 MW. First, in an industrial boiler, coal is burned to heat and pressurize 1.6 kg/s of water pumped from an underground reservoir (25 oC, 1 atm) to High Pressure Steam (44 atm, 450 oC). The industrial boiler is insulated, but due to the high temperatures and the nature of the process there are inevitably heat losses. As such, the total heat losses of the whole system is around 20% of the heat from the coal. The High-Pressure Steam, moving at a linear velocity of 70 m/s, is then used to drive a turbine. The low pressure steam from the turbine is used to preheat the boiling water and then released to the atmosphere as saturated steam (100oC and1atm) at a velocity of 10 m/s via an exhaust 10 m above the turbine inlet. How much heat is needed for the powerplant? Use the following values of enthalpy: Water from reservoir 25oC; 1atm H=104.93 kJ/kg High Pressure Steam 450oC; 44atm H=3324.63 kJ/kg Low…

In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .

Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a) Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electricalenergy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85%efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98%efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of…
A hot water leak in one of the faucets of your apartment can be very wasteful. A continuous leak of one quart per hour (a "slow" leak) at 155 degrees°F causes a loss of 1.81 million Btu per year. Suppose your water is heated with electricity. a. How many pounds of coal delivered to your electric utility does this leak equate to if one pound of coal contains 12,000 Btu and the boiler combustion process and water distribution system have an overall efficiency of 28%? b. If a pound of coal produces 1.81 pounds of CO2 during the combustion process, how much extra carbon dioxide does the leaky faucet produce in a year
Hello Sir,Good Morning.I have a question in my homework related thermodynamics lesson. The following below is my question. Please advice. Thank you. Regards,Irfan An air conditioning system is used to keep the house at 65°F when the outside temperature is 85°F. The house gets heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 810 Btu/min, and the rate of heat generation inside the house from occupants, lights, and equipment is 120 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air conditioning system.
Thermodynamics Question: Steam enters a steady-flow throttling valve at 2 kg/s, temperature 400°C, and pressure200 kPa. It leaves at temperature 100°C and pressure100 kPa. Heat is lost to surroundings at a rate of 100 kW. The surroundings are 25°C. Is this process feasible? Use: https://irc.wisc.edu/properties/
A 5-feet diameter Chimney is designed to handle a flue gas produced in a steam power plant at a rate of 17 lb/s. The barometric pressure is 29.92-inch Hg. Outside air enters the combustion chamber at 90 F. The average temperature of the flue gas inside the Chimney is 572 F and its molecular weight is 30. Cv = 0.35, Rair = 53.342 ft-lb/lb-R. Calculate: a. The total draft, feet of air. b. The height of the Chimney, feet
