A crude fermenter is set up in a shed in the backyard of a suburban house. Under anaerobic conditions with ammonia as the nitrog

en source, about 0.45 g ethanol are formed per g glucose consumed. At steady state, the ethanol production rate averages 0.4 kg h21. The owner of this enterprise decides to reduce her electricity bill by using the heat released during the fermentation to warm water as an adjunct to the household hot water system. Cold water at 10C is fed into a jacket surrounding the fermenter at a rate of 2.5 litres h21. To what temperature is the water heated? Heat losses from the system are negligible. Use a biomass composition of CH1.75 O0.58 N0.18 plus 8% ash.

Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a) $\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}$ , b) $v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}$ , c) $\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW$

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Mass Balance

$\frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}} - \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}} = 0$

Energy Balance

$-q_{loss} - w_{out} + h_{in} - h_{out} = 0$

Specific volumes and enthalpies are obtained from property tables for steam:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

$\nu_{in} = 0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$h_{in} = 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mix)

$\nu_{out} = 5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$h_{out} = 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

a) The mass flow rate of the steam is:

$\dot m = \frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}}$

$\dot m = \frac{\left(60\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.015\,m^{2})}{0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}$

b) The exit velocity of steam is:

$\dot m = \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}}$

$v_{out} = \frac{\dot m \cdot \nu_{out}}{A_{out}}$

$v_{out} = \frac{\left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{0.14\,m^{2}}$

$v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}$

c) The power output of the steam turbine is:

$\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (-q_{loss} + h_{in}-h_{out})$

$\dot W_{out} = \left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(-20\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right)$

$\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW$

Water is flowing at a rate of 0.15 ft3/s in a 6 inch diameter pipe. The water then goes through a sudden contraction to a 2 inch

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Head loss=0.00366 ft

Explanation:

Given :Water flow rate Q=0.15 $\frac{ft^{3}}{sec}$

$D_{1}$ = 6 inch=0.5 ft

$D_{2}$ =2 inch=0.1667 ft

As we know that Q=AV

$A_{1}\times V_{1}=A_{2}\times V_{2}$

So $V_{2}=\frac{Q}{A_2}$

$V_{2}=\dfrac{.015}{\frac{3.14}{4}\times 0.1667^{2}}$

$V_{2$ =0.687 ft/sec

We know that Head loss due to sudden contraction

$h_{l}=K\frac{V_{2}^2}{2g}$

If nothing is given then take K=0.5

So head loss $h_{l}=(0.5)\frac{{0.687}^2}{2\times 32.18}$

=0.00366 ft

So head loss=0.00366 ft
