Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi

ts at the same pressure as saturated liquid. The steam mass flow rate is 1.5 kg/min. A separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30 degree C and exits at 60 degree C. The ideal gas model with c rho = 1.005 kJ/kg K can be assumed for air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine (a) the quality of the entering steam and (b) the rate of heat transfer between the heat exchanger and its surroundings, in kW.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.

andre [41]

Answer:

d=1.84\ mm

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}

where

\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = area of the plates = \pi r^2

d = separation of the plates

\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}

where w is the angular frequency

w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s

Solving for C

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

Z^2=R^2+X_c^2

Where R is the resistance, R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega. Solving for Xc

X_c^2=Z^2-R^2

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by \sqrt{2}, thus

\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}

I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A

Now collect formulas

\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}

X_c=36176.34\ \Omega

The capacitance is now

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F

The radius of the plates is

r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m

The separation between the plates is

\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}

d=0.00184\ m

\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}

PLEASE HELP Due Soon!
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:  

When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. In such collisions, some energy is typically also transferred to the surrounding air; as a result, the air gets heated and sound is produced.
