A boiler operates at steady state. The entering water is saturated liquid at P = 5 bar and has a flow rate of 10,000 kg/hr. The

existing steam is also at P = 5 bar and T = 400o C. The pipe entering the boiler is 8 cm in diameter, and the pipe leaving the boiler is 30 cm in diameter. What is the rate at which heat is added in the boiler?

Answer:

The rate at which heat is added in the boiler is 8128.610 kilowatts.

Explanation:

A boiler is a device that works at steady state, whose function is pressurizing and heating water. All gravitational electric and magnetic effects can be neglected. From First Law of Thermodynamics the boiler is characterized by the following model:

\dot Q_{in} + \dot H_{in}-\dot H_{out} + \dot K_{in} - \dot K_{out}= 0 (Eq. 1)

Where:

\dot Q_{in} - Heat transfer rate, measured in kilowatts.

\dot H_{in}, \dot H_{out} - Inlet and outlet fluid enthalpy rates, measured in kilowatts.

\dot K_{in}, \dot K_{out} - Inlet and outlet kinetic energy rate, measured in kilowatts.

And by the Principle of Mass Conservation we have that:

\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out} = 0 (Eq. 2)

Where \dot m_{in} and \dot m_{out} are mass flows at entrance and exit of the boiler, measured in kilograms per second.

Then, we clear the heat transfer rate and expand (Eq. 1) by definitions of enthalpy and kinetic energy, as well as (Eq. 2):

\dot Q_{in} = \dot H_{out}-\dot H_{in}+\dot K_{out}-\dot K_{in}

\dot Q_{in} = \dot m \cdot \left[(h_{out}-h_{in}\right)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{out}^{2}-v_{in}^{2})\left] (Eq. 3)

Speeds of fluid entering and exiting the boiler (v), measured in meters per second, are found by applying the following formula:

\dot m = \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot \frac{D^{2}\cdot v}{\nu}

v = \frac{4\cdot \dot m\cdot \nu}{\pi\cdot D^{2}} (Eq. 4)

Where:

\nu - Specific volume of fluid, measured in cubic meters per kilogram.

D - Inner diameter of pipe, measured in meters.

Entrance (\dot m = 2.778\,\frac{kg}{s}, \nu_{in} = 0.001093\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} and D_{in} = 0.08\,m)

v_{in} = \frac{4\cdot \left(2.778\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.001093\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{\pi\cdot (0.08\,m)^{2}}

v_{in}\approx 0.604\,\frac{m}{s}

Specific enthalpy at given conditions is:

h_{in} = 640.09\,\frac{kJ}{kg} (From Saturated Water tables)

Exit (\dot m = 2.778\,\frac{kg}{s}, \nu_{out} = 0.61731\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} and D_{out} = 0.30\,m)

v_{out} = \frac{4\cdot \left(2.778\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.61731\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{\pi\cdot (0.30\,m)^{2}}

v_{out} \approx 24.261\,\frac{m}{s}

Specific enthalpy at given conditions is:

h_{out} = 3272.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg} (From Superheated Steam tables)

If we know that \dot m = 2.778\,\frac{kg}{s}, h_{in} = 640.09\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{out} = 3272.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, v_{in}\approx 0.604\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{out} \approx 24.261\,\frac{m}{s}, the heat transfer rate is:

\dot Q = \left(2.778\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left\{ \left(3272.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-640.09\,\frac{kJ}{kg}  \right)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\left(24.261\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0.604\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]  \right\}

\dot Q = 8128.610\,kW

The rate at which heat is added in the boiler is 8128.610 kilowatts.

If i initially have 4.0 l of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure of 3.4 atm?
ddd [48]
  The  volume  of  a  gas  that   its  pressure  increase  to  3.4  atm   is    calculated  as   follows

  By  use  of  boyles   law   that  is  P1V1=P2V2
V1=4.0  L
P1=1.1  atm
P2=3.4  atm
V2= P1V1/P2  

(1.1  atm  x  4.0 L)/3.4  atm=  1.29  L

Answer:

Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.
