A turbine generates 5 MW of power, using steam at 500°C and 4 MPa which enters the turbine at 20 kg every second with negligible speed. In this turbine the steam expands becoming a saturated vapor at 450 kPa before exiting at the outlet.
Determine the rate of heat loss (in kW). Provide your answer to one decimal place.
An air compressor takes in air at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 300 K. The compressor is cooled at a rate of 15 k/kg and the mass
flow rate is 50 kg/minute. The air leaves at a pressure of 600 kPa and a temperature of 420 K. What is the work that needs to be input to the
compressor to achieve this rate of flow? You may use a cp of 1.006 k/kg-K. Give your answer to three significant digits in kilowatts.don't put kw

- In a hot water heating system, water heated to 95°C and then is pumped at the rate of 4 L/min through a radiator where it is cooled to 35°C. If the water arrives at the radiator at a temperature of 85°C, how much heat in kJ does the radiator release each hour?arrow_forwardA reciprocating compressor draws in 500 ftImin of air whose density is 0.079 Ibm/t° and discharges it at a density of 0.304 Ibm/t°. The pressure in the suction and discharge are 15 psia and 80 psia, respectively. The increase in the specific internal energy is 33.8 BTU/b and the heat transferred from the air by cooling is 13 BTU/lb.

The panel, which has a surface area of 24 ft2, receives energy from the sun at a rate of 200 Btu/h per ft2 of collector surface. Twenty-five percent of the incoming energy is lost to the surroundings. The remaining energy is used to heat domestic hot water from 90 to 120°F. The water passes through the solar collector with a negligible pressure drop. Neglecting kinetic and potential effects, determine at steady state how many gallons of water at 120°F the collector generates per hour.arrow_forward

- It is common knowledge that the temperature rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot air system is 25% more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetual motion machine?arrow_forwardA device submitted to the Pa- tent Office is shown schemati- cally in the figure to the right. Its inventor claims that it can generate 10 kW of electrical power continuously, using only 0.03 kg/s of low-pressure (2 bar) saturated steam, which exits as a mixture of liquid and gas also at 2 bar. A stream of cooling water (0.3 kg/s, liquid at 1 bar) is used in the device; the patent application lists its entrance and exit temperatures as 20 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The de- vice does not have any other heat or material exchanges with the environ- ment.
