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

What happens to a gas that is enclosed in a rigid container when the temperature of the gas is increased?
kiruha [24]
A. the gas particles move faster and collide more frequently, which causes an increase in pressure.

Increasing temperature increases the energy of the gas, which causes the kinetic energy of the molecules to increase.

An X-Ray tube is an evacuated glass tube, where the electrons are produced at one end and accelerated by a strong electric field
lawyer [7]

Answer:

a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b)  ΔV = 25.59 V,  c)  v = 7 10⁴ m / s,  v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,

v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²

Explanation:

a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Where the electrons come out

          Em₀ = U = e DV

final point. Where they hit the target

          Em_f = K = ½ m v2

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         e ΔV = ½ m v²

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2} mv²/e     (1)

If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is

         v = 1% c = c / 100

         v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s

let's calculate

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2}  \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} (3 10^6 )^2 }{ 1.6 10^{-19} }

         ΔV = 25.59 V

b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons

             K_e = K_p

              K_p = ½ m v_e²

              K_p = \frac{1}{2}  9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²

              K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J

we substitute in equation 1

              ΔV = Kp / M

              ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              ΔV = 25.59 V

notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater

c) The speed of the protons is

             e ΔV = ½ M v²

             v² = 2 e ΔV / M

             v² = \frac{2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 25.59 }{1.67 \ 10^{-27} }

              v² = 49,035 10⁸

               v = 7 10⁴ m / s

Relation

        v/c = \frac{7 \ 10^4 }{ 3 \ 10^8}

        v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴

You drop a steel ball bearing, with a radius of 2.40 mm, into a beaker of honey. Note that honey has a viscosity of 6.00 Pa/s an
Stells [14]

Answer:

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of the steel ball R = 2.40 mm

Viscosity of honey η = 6.0 Pa/s

\text { Viscosity has Density } \sigma=1360 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

\text { Steel has a density } \rho=7800 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

\left.\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { on Earth }\right)

While calculating the terminal speed in liquids where density is high the stokes law is used for viscous force and buoyant force is taken into consideration for effective weight of the object. So the expression for terminal speed (Vt)

V_{t}=\frac{2 \mathrm{R}^{2}(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{g}}{9 \eta}

Substitute the given values to find "terminal speed"

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2 \times 0.0024^{2}(7800-1360) 9.8}{9 \times 6}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.0048 \times 6440 \times 9.8}{54}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{302.9376}{54}

\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=5.609 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s
