Answer:
a. 572Btu/s
b.0.1483Btu/s.R
Explanation:
a.Assume a steady state operation, KE and PE are both neglected and fluids properties are constant.
From table A-3E, the specific heat of water is
, and the steam properties as, A-4E:

Using the energy balance for the system:

Hence, the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger is 572Btu/s
b. Heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the condensing steam.
-The rate of steam condensation is expressed as:

Entropy generation in the heat exchanger could be defined using the entropy balance on the system:

Hence,the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. is 0.1483Btu/s.R
One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.
From the temperature the value is given as

Where,
T_L = Cold focus temperature
T_H = Hot spot temperature
Our values are given as,
T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K
T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K
Replacing we have,



Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%
Answer:
Tension, T = 87.63 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, m = 6.9 kg
The string is acting in the upward direction, a = 2.9 m/s²
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
As the lift is accelerating upwards, it means the net force acting on it is given by :
T = m(a+g)
= 6.9 (2.9+9.8)
= 6.9(2.7)
= 87.63 N
So, the tension in the string is 87.63 N.
