Your neighbor lives in a 2500-square-foot (about 250 m2) older house heated by natural gas. The current gas heater was installed in the early 1980s and has an efficiency (called the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating, or AFUE) of 65 percent. It is time to replace the furnace, and the neighbor is trying to decide between a conventional furnace that has an efficiency of 80 percent and costs $1500 and a highefficiency furnace that has an efficiency of 95 percent and costs $2500. Your neighbor offered to pay you $100 if you help him make the right decision. Considering the weather data, typical heating loads, and the price of natural gas in your area, make a recommendation to your neighbor based on a convincing economic analysis.
A turbine is driven by a system that enters the turbine at the ff. conditions: 200 kg/h, 39 atm, 501 deg C, 49 m/s linear speed. The steam exits at a point 8 meters below the inlet stream of the turbine with the following conditions: atmospheric pressure, 290 m/s speed. 69000 W of shft work is delivered by the turbine while 100 kcal/h heat is lost. What is the value of (a) expansion work and (b) flow work? If the value is zero, explain why is it so.If it cannot be calculated, explain why.
