Steam generators are a type of heat exchanges that are used in power plants to generate steam at desired pressure and temperature (Fig. Q1.b). In a steam generator, saturated liquid water at 30°C enters a 60-mm diameter tube at the volume flow rate of 12 L/s. After exchanging heat with hot gas, the water changes to steam and leaves the generator at a pressure of 9 MPa and a temperature of 400°C. During this process, the diameter of the water/steam tube does not change.(ii) What is the inlet velocity of the steam?
An air compressor is designed to compress air (assumed to 100 kPa, 20 ° C at a pressure of 1 MPa).

Q29. Steam enters the condenser of a power plant at 3 psia and a quality of 95% with a ratio ofmass flow of 40,000 lbm/hr. It will be cooled with water from a nearby river, which will circulate through the tubes inside the condenser. In order to avoid thermal pollution, the river water is not allowed to suffer from an increase in temperature.temperature greater than 18°F. If steam is to leave the condenser as a saturated liquid at 3 psia, determine how many times the mass flow rate of steam will be the mass flow rate of water, as well as the heat transfer from one system to the other.
A company owns a refrigeration system whoserefrigeration capacity is 200 tons (1 ton of refrigeration =211 kJ/min), and you are to design a forced-air cooling systemfor fruits whose diameters do not exceed 7 cm under the followingconditions:The fruits are to be cooled from 28°C to an average temperatureof 8°C. The air temperature is to remain above -2°Cand below 10°C at all times, and the velocity of air approachingthe fruits must remain under 2 m/s. The cooling section canbe as wide as 3.5 m and as high as 2 m.Assuming reasonable values for the average fruit density,specific heat, and porosity (the fraction of air volume in a box), recommend reasonable values for the quantities related to the thermal aspects of the forced-air cooling, including (a) how long the fruits need to remain in the cooling section, (b) the length of the cooling section, (c) the air velocity approaching the cooling section, (d) the product cooling capacity of the system, in kg fruit/h, (e) the volume flow rate…
A 4-m × 5-m × 6-m room is to be heated by an electric resistance heater placed in a short duct in the room. Initially, the room is at 15°C, and the local atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. The room is losing heat steadily to the outside at a rate of 150 kJ/min. A 200-W fan circulates the air steadily through the duct and the electric heater at an average mass flow rate of 40 kg/min. The duct can be assumed to be adiabatic, and there is no air leaking in or out of the room. If it takes 25 min for the room air to reach an average temperature of 25°C, find the temperature rise that the air experiences each time it passes through the heater.
