An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and

a quality of 0.25. An electric heater inside the tank is turned on to heat this H2O until the pressure increases to 200 kPa. Please determine the change in total entropy of water during this process. Hint: See if you can find the electrical work consumed during this process.

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg

A man wishes to row the shortest possible distance from north to south across a river which is flowing at 2 km/hr from the east.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

From the diagram we have that

sin\theta = \frac{2}{4}

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{2})

\theta = 30\°

Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south

What is an advantageous disadvantage of generating electricity using a hydroelectric power station rather than wind turbines ?
Andrei [34K]

The advantages of generating electricity using a hydroelectric power station rather than wind turbines is that it's not polluting anything since it's regular water. It also can be used over and over again.

The disadvantages of using a hydroelectric power station is that it can be very deadly and cause damage to towns if it overfills or falls apart releasing all the water. Since nothing lasts forever, eventually they will break apart and would require everyone to evacuate before doing so. Another disadvantage is that it disrupts migration of animals that live in the water such as fish.

It's better than wind turbines because wind turbines require a lot of wind to turn and on days without wind, very little energy can be produced.
