An electric generator at a power plant produces energy by passing superheated steam from a high temperature container (reservoir), through a pipe connected to a series of fans, and then into a low temperature reservoir. As the steam passes across the blades of the fans some of the heat energy of the steam is transformed into mechanical energy, which turns the fans which in turn are connected to a generator, which in turn converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. If the high temperature steam has a temperature of 201.9 K and the low temperature reservoir has a temperature of 154.1 K, what is the Carnot efficiency of this process?

Water is to be heated from 10°C to 80°C as it flows through a 2-cm-internal-diameter, 13-m-long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady operation all the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 5 L/min, determine the power rating of the resistance heater. Also, estimate the inner surface temperature of the pipe at the exit.
To cool a storehouse in the summer without using a conventional air-conditioning system, the owner decided to hire an engineer to design an alternative system that would make use of the water in the nearby lake. The engineer decided to flow air through a thin smooth 10-cm-diameter copper tube that is submerged in the nearby lake. The water in the lake is typically maintained at a constant temperature of 15°C and a convection heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m2?K. If air (1 atm) enters the copper tube at a mean temperature of 30°C with an average velocity of 2.5 m/s, determine the necessary copper tube length so that the outlet mean temperature of the air is 20°C.
