Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio
telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, can detect a signal which lays down only a picowatt of power over entire surface of the Earth. What is the power received by the radio telescope if the diameter of the antenna is300 m? What would be the power of the source at the center of our galaxy which couldprovide such a signal? The center of galaxy is 22000 light years away. Assume that source is radiating uniformly in all directions and that the Earth is a disk with the radiusof 6378 km.

Explanation:
The pictures below shows the whole explanation for the problem
Answer:
A) W' = 178.568 KW
B) ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k
C) η = 0.3
Explanation:
We are given;
Temperature at state 1;T1 = 360 °C
Temperature at state 2;T2 = 160 °C
Pressure at state 1;P1 = 10 bar
Pressure at State 2;P2 = 1 bar
Volumetric flow rate;V' = 0.8 m³/s
A) From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific volume;v1 = 0.287322 m³/kg
Mass flow rate of water vapour at turbine is defined by the formula;
m' = V'/v1
So; m' = 0.8/0.287322
m' = 2.784 kg/s
Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific enthalpy;h1 = 3179.46 KJ/kg
Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
Specific enthalpy;h2 = 3115.32 KJ/kg
Now, since stray heat transfer is neglected at turbine, we have;
-W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]
Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;
-W' = m'(h2 - h1)
Plugging in relevant values, the work of the turbine is;
W' = -2.784(3115.32 - 3179.46)
W' = 178.568 KW
B) Still From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific entropy: s1 = 7.3357 KJ/Kg.k
Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
Specific entropy; s2 = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k
The amount of entropy produced is defined by;
ΔS = m'(s2 - s1)
ΔS = 2.784(8.2828 - 7.3357)
ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k
C) Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with s2 = s2s = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
h2s = 2966.14 KJ/Kg
Energy equation for turbine at ideal process is defined as;
Q' - W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]
Again, Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;
-W' = m'(h2s - h1)
W' = -2.784(2966.14 - 3179.46)
W' = 593.88 KW
the isentropic turbine efficiency is defined as;
η = W_actual/W_ideal
η = 178.568/593.88 = 0.3
