Answer:

(a) 561.12 W/ m² (b) 196.39 MW

Explanation:

Solution

(a) Determine the energy and power of the wave per unit area

The energy per unit are of the wave is defined as:

E = 1 /16ρgH²

= 1/16 * 1025 kg/ m3* 9.81 m/s² * (2.5 m )²

=3927. 83 J/m²

Thus,

The power of the wave per unit area is,

P = E/ t

= 3927. 83 J/m² / 7 s = 561.12 W/ m²

(b) The average and work power output of a wave power plant

W = E * л * A

= 3927. 83 J/m² * 0.35 * 1 *10^6 m²

= 1374.74 MJ

Then,

The power produced by the wave for one km²

P = P * л * A

= 5612.12 W/m² * 0.35 * 1* 10^6 m²

=196.39 MW

A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}

Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2L=80 mm experiences uniform thermal generation of q= 1000 W/m^3 and is convectively c
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

h=1.99998\ W/m^2.C

k=33.333\ W/m.C

Explanation:

Considering the one dimensional and steady state:

From Heat Conduction equation considering the above assumption:

\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{k}=0       Eq (1)

Where:

k is thermal Conductivity

\dot e_{gen} is uniform thermal generation

T(x) = a(L^2-x^2)+b

\frac{\partial\ T(x)}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial\ a(L^2-x^2)+b}{\partial x}=-2ax\\\frac{\partial^2\ T(x)}{\partial x^2}=\frac{\partial^2\ -2ax}{\partial x^2}=-2a

Putt in Eq (1):

-2a+\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{k}=0\\ k=\frac{\dot e_{gen}}{2a}\\ k=\frac{1000}{2*15}\\ k=33.333\ W/m.C

Energy balance is given by:

Q_{convection}=Q_{conduction}

h(T_L-T_{inf})=-k(\frac{dT}{dx}) _L     Eq  (2)

T(x) = a(L^2-x^2)+b

Putting x=L

T(L) = a(L^2-L^2)+b\\T(L)=b\\T(L)=40^oC

\frac{dT}{dx}=\frac{d(a(L^2-x^2)+b}{dx}=-2ax\\Put\ x\ =\ L\\\frac{dT}{dx}=-2aL\\(\frac{dT}{dx})_L=-2*15*0.04=-1.2

From Eq (2)

h=\frac{-k*-1.2}{(40-20)} \\h=\frac{-33.333*-1.2}{(40-20)}\\h=1.99998\ W/m^2.C
