Answer:

Stratification is the process of arranging the different elements classification in a specific manner.

In the storage tank, hot water and cold water create a specific layer and coexist between them for the process of stratification. Thermal storage and heat storage exchanger are the types of storage tank, in which the stratification process take place.

The density of the cold water is more as compared to hot water. Then, due to this the cold water sink to the bottom and hot ware rises up in the storage vessel. In this way, the water gets heated and the stratification process take place in the tank.

Refrigerant-134a at 700 kPa, 70°C, and 7.2 kg/min is cooled by water in a condenser until it exists as a saturated liquid at the

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is $123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$ .

Explanation:

A condenser is a heat exchanger used to cool working fluid (Refrigerant 134a) at the expense of cooling fluid (water), which works usually at steady state. Let suppose that there is no heat interactions between condenser and surroundings.The condenser is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states:

$\dot Q_{ref} - \dot Q_{w} = 0$

$\dot Q_{ref} = \dot Q_{w}$

$\dot m_{ref}\cdot (h_{ref, in} - h_{ref,out}) = \dot m_{w}\cdot (h_{w, out} - h_{w,in})$

The mass flow rate of the cooling water is now cleared:

$\dot m_{w} = \dot m_{ref }\cdot \frac{h_{ref,in}-h_{ref,out}}{h_{w,out}-h_{w,in}}$

Given that $h_{ref,in} = 808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{ref, out} = 88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , $h_{w,out} = 104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ and $h_{w,in} = 62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$ , the mass flow of the cooling water is:

$\dot m_{w} = \left(7.2\,\frac{kg}{min} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg} } \right)$

$\dot m_{w} = 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is $123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}$ .

The typical area of a commercial airplane's passenger window is 80.0 in^2 . At an altitude of 3.00 × 104 ft above the sea level,

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The force over the plane windows are 764 lbf in the EE unit system and 3398 N in the international unit system.

Explanation:

The net force over the window is calculated by multiplying the difference in pressure by the area of the window:

F = Δp*A

The pressure inside the plane is around 1 atm, hence the difference in pressure is:

Δp = 1atm - 0.35 atm = 0.65 atm

Expressing in the EE unit system:

Δp = 0.65 atm * 14.69 lbf/in^2 = 9.55 lbf/in^2

Replacing in the force:

F = 9.55 lbf/in^2 * 80 in^2 = 764 lbf

For the international unit system, we re-calculate the window's area and the difference in pressure:

A = 80 in^2 * (0.0254 m/in)^2 = 0.0516 m^2

Δp = 0.65 atm * 101325 Pa = 65861 Pa = 65861 N/m^2

Replacing in the force:

F = 65861 N/m^2 *0.0516 m^2 = 3398 N

Air enters a compressor at 100 kPa and 25 ⁰C. It is compressed to 2 MPa and exits the compressor at 540 K. The compressor is at

AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) The reversible work is 207 kJ/kg

(b) The irreversibility rate is -38.39 kJ/kg

Explanation:

State1 : p1 = 100kpa, T1= 25+273 =298k

From air table, h1 =298.18 kJ/kg, s10= 1.69528 kJ/kgK

State 2a:p2=2mpa,t2=540k (actual condition 2a)

h2a= 544.35 kJ/kg,s2a0=2.29906

actual work input to the compressor =wout=h1-h2+Qin

=298.18-544.35+(-150)kJ/kg(- sign indicate heat loss)

=(-246.17)kJ/kg(-ve sign indicates the work is given into the system

a) Reversible work= Win actual - any irreversiblities present

=246.17 + irreversibilty

b) irreversibility = T0(Entopy generation Sgen) for air, Sgen

=s20-s10-Rln(p2/p1), T0=250C

=(25+273)(s2a0-s10-Rlnp2/p1+Qout/Tsurr)

= 298x[(2.29906-1.69528-0.287kJ/kgK xln(2000kpa/100) + 150 /298]

= -38.39 kJ/kg

a)Reversible work = Win actual -any irreversiblities present

=246.17 + irreversibilty

=246.17+-38.39

=207 kJ/kg
