Answer:
W = 5701 KW
Explanation:
From the question let inlet be labelled as point 1 and exit as point 2, for the fluid steam, we can get the following;
Inlet (1): P1 = 40 bar ; T1 = 500°C and V1 = 200 m/s
Exit(2) : At saturated vapour; P2 = 0.8 bar and V2 = 150 m/s
Volumetric flow rate = 15 m^(3)/s
Now, to solve this question, we assume constant average values, steeady flow and adiabatic flow.
Specific volume for steam at P2 = 0.8 bar in the saturated vapour state can be gotten from saturated steam tables(find a sample of the table attached to this answer).
So from the table,
v2 = 2.087 m^(3)/kg
Now, mass flow rate (m) = (AV) /v
Where AV is the volumetric flow rate.
Thus, the mass flow rate at exit could be calculated as;
m = 15/(2.087) = 7.17 kg/s
We also know energy equation could be defined as;
Q-W = m[(h1 - h2) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)} + g(Z2 - Z1)]
Since the flow is adiabatic, potential energy can be taken to be zero. Therefore, we get;
-W = m[(h2 - h1) + {(V2(^2) - (V1(^2)} /2)}
From, table 2, i attached , at P1 = 40 bar and T1 = 500°C; specific enthalpy was calculated to be h1 = 3445.3 KJ/Kg
Likewise, at P2 = 0.8 bar; from the table, we get specific enthalpy as;
h2 = 2665.8 KJ/Kg
So we now calculate power developed;
W = - 7.17 [(2665.8 - 3445.3) + {(150^(2) - 200^(2))/2000 = 5701KW
Since the sign is not negative but positive, it means that the power is developed from the system.
The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
where
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the increase in height of the rock
Substituting the data of the problem, we find
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.
