Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.
The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.
Answer:
a. 572Btu/s
b.0.1483Btu/s.R
Explanation:
a.Assume a steady state operation, KE and PE are both neglected and fluids properties are constant.
From table A-3E, the specific heat of water is
, and the steam properties as, A-4E:

Using the energy balance for the system:

Hence, the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger is 572Btu/s
b. Heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the condensing steam.
-The rate of steam condensation is expressed as:

Entropy generation in the heat exchanger could be defined using the entropy balance on the system:

Hence,the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. is 0.1483Btu/s.R
