Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.40P

How much steam at 250°F would be required to heat 10 lb of water from 70°F to 210°F in a direct steam injection heater? The answer must be 1.42 lbs
A power plant burns coal to produce pressurized steam at 554 K. The steam then condenses back into water at a temperature of 334 K If the plant operates at 50.0% of its maximum efficiency and its power output is 1.23 * 10 ^ 8 * v means of a cooling tower ? at what rate must heat be removed by means of cooling tower?
The Earth intercepts 1.27 × 1017 W of radiant power from the Sun. Suppose the Earth, of volume 1.08 × 1021 m3, was composed of liquid water. How long would it take for the liquid water Earth at 0 ◦C to reach liquid water at 23.8 ◦C, if none of the power was radiated or reflected back out into space? Hint: There are 3.154 × 107 s in one year. The density of water is 10 × 103 kg/m3 and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kg K). a)113 years b)2.69 × 104 years c)1.13 × 105 years d)2.69 × 107 years e)26.9 years
