Explanation:

the impulse and momentum change on each object are equal in magnitude and opposite in directions. Thus the total momentum is reserved

As a rocket increases height and slows down, it gains more and more potential energy and loses more and more kinetic energy. Potential energy is store energy (usually determined by height), and kinetic energy increases as speed increases.

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$
