Chapter 4.8, Problem 14P

(A)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The exiting temperature of the steam.

The exiting velocity of the steam.

Concept Introduction:

Write the general expression for an entropy balance equation.

$\frac{d\left(M\widehat{S}\right)}{dt}={\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^{j=J}{\dot{m}}_{j,in}{\widehat{S}}_j}-{\displaystyle \sum _{k=1}^{k=K}{\dot{m}}_{k,out}{\widehat{S}}_k}+{\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^{n=N}\frac{{\dot{Q}}_n}{T_n}}+{\dot{S}}_{gen}$

Here, mass of the system is M, specific entropy of the system is $\widehat{S}$, time taken is $t$, mass flow rates of individual streams entering and leaving the system are ${\dot{m}}_{j,in}$ and ${\dot{m}}_{k,out}$, specific entropies of streams entering and leaving the system are ${\widehat{S}}_j$ and ${\widehat{S}}_k$, actual rate at which heat is added to or removed from the system at one particular location is ${\dot{Q}}_n$, the temperature of the system at the boundary where the heat transfer labeled n occurs is $T_n$, and the rate at which entropy is generated within the boundaries of the system is ${\dot{S}}_{gen}$.

Write the energy balance equation for a typical nozzle.

$\frac{v_{out}^2}{2}={\widehat{H}}_{in}-{\widehat{H}}_{out}$

Here, outlet velocity is $v_{out}^{}$, inlet specific enthalpy is ${\widehat{H}}_{in}$, and outlet specific enthalpy is ${\widehat{H}}_{out}$.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of entropy generated in the nozzle for each kilogram of entering steam
