Tubes through which water flows as it is brought from 0.8 MPa, 150C to 240C at essentially constant pressure in the boiler of a

power plant. The total mass flow rate of the water is 100 kg/s. Combustion gases passing over the tubes cool from 1067 to 547C at essentially constant pressure. The combustion gases can be modeled as air as an ideal gas. There is no significant heat transfer from the boiler to its surroundings. Surrounding (dead state) temperature and pressure are given as 25C and 1 atm, respectively. Determine i) the exergetic efficiency of the boiler ii) rate of exergy destruction as kW iii) mass flow rate of the combustion gases as kg/s

Answer:

The correct answer is i) 50.2 % ii) 13440.906 kW and iii) 71.986 kg/s.

Explanation:

In order to find the mass flow rate of the combustion of gases, there is a need to use the energy balance equation:  

Mass of water × specific heat of water (T2 -T1)w = mass of gas × specific heat of gas (T2-T1)g

100 × 4.18 × [(240 + 273) - (150 + 273)] = mass of gas × 1.005 × [(1067+273) - (547+273)]

Mass of gas = 71.986 kg/s

The entropy generation of water can be determined by using the formula,  

(ΔS)w = mass of water × specific heat of water ln(T2/T1)w

= 100 × 4.18 ln(513/423)

= 80.6337 kW/K

Similarly the entropy generation of water will be,

(ΔS)g = mass of gas × specific heat of gas ln(T2/T1)g

= 71.986 × 1.005 ln (820/1340)

= -35.53 kW/K

The rate of energy destruction will be,  

Rate of energy destruction = To (ΔS)gen

= T₀ [(ΔS)w + (ΔS)g]

= (25+273) [80.6337-53.53)

Rate of energy destruction = 13440.906 kW

The availability of water will be calculated as,  

= mass of water (specific heat of water) [(T₁-T₂) -T₀ ln T₁/T₂]

= 100 × 4.8 [(513-423) - 298 ln 513/423]

= 13591.1477 kW

The availability of gas will be calculated as,  

= mass of gas (specific heat of gas) [(T₁-T₂) - T₀ ln T₁/T₂]

= 71.986 × 1.005 × [(1340-820) - 298 ln 1340/820]

= 27031.7728 kW

The exergetic efficiency can be calculated as,  

= Gain of availability / loss of availability  

= 13591.1477/27031.7728

= 0.502

The exergetic efficiency is 50.2%.

What does a chemist do​
Mama L [17]
A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.

Draw the resonance structures for the conjugate base of Phenol (C6H6O). In one sentence, explain why phenol (C6H6O) has a pKa of
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached

The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while

the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
