A power company desires to use groundwater from a hot spring to power a heat engine. If the groundwater is at 95 deg C and the a
1 answer:
Answer:
W = 12.8 KW
Explanation:
given data:
mass flow rate = 0.2 kg/s
Engine recieve heat from ground water at 95 degree ( 368 K) and reject that heat to atmosphere at 20 degree (293K)
we know that maximum possible efficiency is given as
rate of heat transfer is given as
Maximuim power is given as
W = 0.2038 * 62.7
W = 12.8 KW

Answer:
The roll force is 1.59 MN
The power required in this operation is 644.96 kW
Explanation:
Given;
width of the annealed copper, w = 228 m
thickness of the copper, h₀ = 25 mm
final thickness, hf = 20 mm
roll radius, R = 300 mm
The roll force is given by;
where;
w is the width of the annealed copper
is average true stress of the strip in the roll gap
L is length of arc in contact, and for frictionless situation it is given as;
Now, determine the average true stress, , for the annealed copper;
The absolute value of the true strain, ε = ln(25/20)
ε = 0.223
from true stress vs true strain graph; at true strain of 0.223, the true stress is 280 MPa.
Then, the average true stress = ¹/₂(280 MPa.) = 180 MPa
Finally determine the roll force;
The power required in this operation is given by;
Answer:
a.) 1.453MW/m2, b.) 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr c.) 22,733.33 BTU/hr d.) 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr
Explanation:
Heat flux is the rate at which thermal (heat) energy is transferred per unit surface area. It is measured in W/m2
Heat transfer(loss or gain) is unit of energy per unit time. It is measured in W or BTU/hr
1W = 3.41 BTU/hr
Given parameters:
thickness, t = 7.5mm = 7.5/1000 = 0.0075m
Temperatures 150 C = 150 + 273 = 423 K
50 C = 50 + 273 = 323 K
Temperature difference, T = 423 - 323 = 100 K
We are assuming steady heat flow;
a.) Heat flux, Q" = kT/t
K= thermal conductivity of the material
The thermal conductivity of brass, k = 109.0 W/m.K
Heat flux,
b.) Area of sheet, A = 0.5m2
Heat loss, Q = kAT/t
Heat loss,
Heat loss, Q = 726,666.667 * 3.41 = 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr
c.) Material is now given as soda lime glass.
Thermal conductivity of soda lime glass, k is approximately 1W/m.K
Heat loss,
Heat loss, Q = 6,666.67 * 3.41 = 22,733.33 BTU/hr
d.) Thickness, t is given as 15mm = 15/1000 = 0.015m
Heat loss,
Heat loss, Q = 363,333.33 * 3.41 = 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr
