A hammer falls off the top roof and strikes the ground with a certain kinetic energy. If it fell from a roof twice as tall how w

ould the kinetic energy compare?

The kinetic energy with which the hammer strikes the ground
is exactly the potential energy it had at the height from which it fell. 

Potential energy is (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .... directly proportional
to height.

Starting from double the height, it starts with double the potential
energy, and it reaches the bottom with double the kinetic energy.

No it would not compare because if you dropped off a higher building the kinetic energy would be higher than it was before.

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency \zeta = 3%

where;

\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}

Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW

Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}

Also;

\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K

\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K

LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}

LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

Q_H = UA (LMTD)

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\  A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\  \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}

The mass flow rate:

Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} )  \\ \\  66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{  66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\  \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}
