Chapter 5.5, Problem 174RP
The maximum flow rate of standard shower heads is about 3.5 gpm (13.3 L/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 L/min) by switching to low-flow shower heads that are equipped with flow controllers. Consider a family of four, with each person taking a 5-min shower every morning. City water at 15°C is heated to 55°C in an electric water heater and tempered to 42°C by cold water at the T-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower heads. Assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kg·°C for water, determine (a) the ratio of the flow rates of the hot and cold water as they enter the T-elbow and (b) the amount of electricity that will be saved per year, in kWh, by replacing the standard shower heads with the low-flow ones.

A refrigeration system uses a water-cooled condenser for rejecting the waste heat. The system absorbs heat from a space at 25°F at a rate of 21,000 Btu/h. Water enters the condenser at 65°F at a rate of 1.45 lbm/s. The COP of the system is estimated to be 1.9. Determine the temperature of the water at the exit of the condenser in °F.
A water tube boiler has a capacity of 1000 kg/hr of steam. The factor of evaporation is 1.3, boiler rating is 200%, boiler efficiency is 5%, heating surface area is 0.91 m2/boiler Hp, and the heating value of fuel is 18,400 Kcal/kg. The total coal available in the bunker is 50,000 kg. Determine total number of hours to consume the available fuel.
Question 43
At a science fair, an inventor suggests a hypothetical device that operates
permanently and which is fed by a flow rate of 2 kg/s of Air at 400 kg/s
kPa and 27 °C. At the outlet there are two distinct air vents that leave the device to the
ambient pressure of 100 kPa and same mass flow. One of the outputs is at 57°C
while the other output is at -3°C. The ambient temperature is 27 °C during the
process. Assuming the device is well insulated, determine:
a) The entropy generated on the device;
b)
Is this device possible?
