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

\eta = 1- \frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1 - \frac{ 293}{368}

\eta = 0.2038

rate of heat transfer is given as

Q_H = \dot m C_p \Delta T

Q_H = 0.2 * 4.18 8(95 - 20)

Q_H = 62.7 kW

Maximuim power is given as

W = \eta Q_H

W = 0.2038 * 62.7

W  = 12.8 KW

timurjin [86]

Answer:

There is not going to be pressure build up in the  system,that is isobaric process.

Explanation:

Assumptions to be made

1.  No mass is gained or lost during the heating process.

2. There are no friction losses,so work is transmitted efficiently.

3. It was started the water in the drum and its surrounding have same temperature.

4. This system is closed,so there is no mass transfer across its boundaries.
