A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea

t transfer to the river water. Will the actual heat transfer rate be higher or lower than this value? Why?(Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}

Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

Find the number of Btu conducted through a wall in 8 hours. The wall is 8 feet high by 24 feet long and has a total R-value of 1
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Explanation:

given data

height h = 8ft

Δt = 8  hours

length L = 24 feet

R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu

inside temperature t1 = 68°F

outside temperature t2 = 16°F

to find out

number of Btu conducted

solution

we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s

\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} =\frac{-A}{R} (t2 -t1)     ......................1

here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²

put here value we get

\frac{\Delta Q}{8} =\frac{-192}{16.2} (16-68)

solve it we get

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu
