Steam is to be condensed on the shell side of a heat exchanger at 150 oF. Cooling water enters the tubes at 60 oF at a rate of 4

4 lbm/s and leaves at 73 oF. Assuming the heat exchanger to be well-insulated, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger, and (b) the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger.

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 c_p=1.0\ Btu/lbm.F, and the steam properties as, A-4E:

h_{fg}=1007.8Btu/lbm, s_{fg}=1.6529Btu/lbm.R

Using the energy balance for the system:

\dot E_{in}-\dot E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E_{sys}=0\\\\\dot E_{in}=\dot E_{out}\\\\\dot Q_{in}+\dot m_{cw}h_1=\dot m_{cw}h_2\\\\\dot Q_{in}=\dot m_{cw}c_p(T_{out}-T_{in})\\\\\dot Q_{in}=44\times 1.0\times (73-60)=572\ Btu/s

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:

\dot m_{steam}=\frac{\dot Q}{h_{fg}}\\\\\dot m_{steam}=\frac{572}{1007.8}=0.5676lbm/s

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

\dot S_{in}-\dot S_{out}+\dot S_{gen}=\bigtriangleup \dot S_{sys}\\\\\dot m_1s_1+\dot m_3s_3-\dot m_2s_2-\dot m_4s_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot m_ws_1+\dot m_ss_3-\dot m_ws_2-\dot m_ss_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m_w(s_2-s_1)+\dot m_s(s_4-s_3)\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m c_p \ In(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-\dot m_ss_{fg}\\\\\\\dot S_{gen}=4.4\times 1.0\times \ In( {73+460)/(60+460)}-0.5676\times 1.6529\\\\=0.1483\ Btu/s.R

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

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

What does the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object depend on ?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Both, potential energy and kinetic energy depends on mass. The higher the mass, the higher the energy. However, the difference is that potential energy depends on vertical height whereas kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

Explanation:

From the formula we can see that;

Potential Energy = mass* gravitational acceleration *vertical height.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity)^2
