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%.

If you put an egg on a sidewalk on a hot day in July and try to cook it you are using?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Passive solar energy</u></em>

Explanation:

First of all, you must know that you if you put an egg on a sidewalk you are dealing with energy from the Sun, i.e. solar energy, while geothermal energy is energy that comes from the inner of the Earth and biomass energy comes from plant or animal material.

The term passive solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the sun is used directly for the intended task, which in this case is to cook the egg.

The term active solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the Sun is converted into a  different form of energy and then used for your purpose. For instance, if the energy of the Sun were used to produce electricity and then this electricity used to cook the egg, you would be using an acitve solar energy.

What substance takes part in an enzymatic reaction, but is unchanged by the reaction?
Ierofanga [76]
The answer to this question would be: enzyme 

<span>Enzyme is a kind of catalyst that </span>will take part in the chemical reaction but it won't be reacted. E<span>nzyme </span>only helps by reducing the energy needed to start the reaction.
Theoretically, the enzyme is not mandatory needed but if you have an enzyme the reaction will be easier, thus increasing reaction speed. But in most case, the reaction might be too slow without enzyme, making enzyme vital in living organism.

What type of chemical bond involves the sharing of a pair of electrons by two atoms in a molecule.
Over [174]

Answer:

Covalent bond.

Explanation:

There are two kinds of chemical bonds: covalent bonds and ionic bonds.

  • A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons (two electrons for each bond.)
  • Ions are formed when one atom transfers an electron to another. Ionic bonds refer to the attraction between ions of opposite electric charges.

In this example, since the atoms are sharing atoms, the chemical bond between them would be a covalent bond.

The rate constant for the second-order reaction 2NOBr(g) ¡ 2NO(g) 1 Br2(g) is 0.80/M ? s at 108C. (a) Starting with a concentrat
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a)

0.0342M

(b)

t_{1/2}=17.36s\\t_{1/2}=23.15s

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, as the reaction is second-ordered, one uses the following kinetic equation to compute the concentration of NOBr after 22 seconds:

\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=kt +\frac{1}{[NOBr]_0}\\\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=\frac{0.8}{M*s}*22s+\frac{1}{0.086M}=\frac{29.3}{M}\\

[NOBr]=\frac{1}{29.2/M}=0.0342M

(b) Now, for a second-order reaction, the half-life is computed as shown below:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[NOBr]_0}

Therefore, for the given initial concentrations one obtains:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{\frac{0.80}{M*s}*0.072M}=17.36s\\t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{\frac{0.80}{M*s}*0.054M}=23.15s

Best regards.
