By burning a fuel, the rate of heat release is 500 kW at 2000 K. What would 07 be the first law and second law efficiencies if 1) energy is absorbed in a metallurgical furnace at the rate of 480 kW at 1000 K 2) energy is absorbed at the rate of 450 kW for generation of steam at 500 K and 3) energy is absorbed in a chemical process at the rate of 300 kW at 320 K. Take ambient temperature 300 K. What is the inference that you can draw from this example?

A gas is compressed inside a compressor's cylinder. When the piston is at its bottom dead center, the gas is initially at 10 psig, 65F, and 10.5 in3. After compression and when the piston is at top dead center, the gas is 180Fand occupies 1.5 in3. What would be the new pressure of the gas in psig?
The seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) includes the energy used in the _____and _____cycles.
How many Btu/h would be produced in a 12-kW electricheater?
When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, the heat released (325 J) causes the products CO₂ and H₂O to expand, which pushes the pistons outward. Excess heat is removed by the car's cooling system. If the work associated with the expanding gases is equal to 451 J, how much is the change in internal energy of the gases? How much is the change in internal energy of the piston?
i. What is the efficiency of the car if it has a mass of 3760 kg, density of fuel = 719.7 kg/m3, heat of combustion of fuel = 37.21 MJ/kg. ii. If the surrounding temperature is 20°C, and the temperature at which combustion occurs is 776°C, find the max. theoretical efficiency of the engine.
In the cooling curve shown, the heat of fusion would be used to calculate the energy released in the transition from _____. *its not W to X
Taking the recent World Energy Council and United Nations resource-base figures for the total amount of fossil energy in the ground worldwide as 356,000 quads, how long will it take to exhaust our fossil resources, assuming that we can recover one-half of the resource base and that usage grows at 3% per year? The world currently consumes about 400 quads of primary energy per year, of which 85% is from fossil sources. (Hint: you will need to account for the compounding, exponential growth effect of the 3% per year increase in consumption.)
A natural gas well is being drilled in your community. It is estimated that amount of recoverable natural gas is equivalent to 5 MCF and that your community will use this fuel at an initial rate of 0.4 MCF/year, selling an additional 0.6 MCF/year back to the utility. Assuming that the annual rate of increase in consumption will be at 2%, determine how long (in years) it will take to exhaust this natural gas well.
use steam tables in English units or EES. a. Saturated steam at 445 ⁰F is throttled adiabatically to 110 psia in a steady flow process. Calculate the lost work of the process if the surroundings are at temperature 70 ⁰F. [Answer: 68.9 Btu/lb.] b. Saturated steam 445 ⁰F is expanded reversibly and adiabatically in a turbine to 110 psia. Calculate the work of the turbine (= ideal work). [Note that some steam must condense. Answer: 811 Btu/lb.] c. What fraction of steam condensed in part b.? [Answer: 10%.]
