Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on an ideal rankine cycle. it has a net power output of 45mw. superheated steam enters the turbine at 7mpa and 500°c (h=3411.4 kj/kg; s=6.8 kj/kg k) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. (a) show the cycle on a t-s diagram (a right schematic is fine - you do not need to calculate the temperatures at each point); (b)-determine the work done by the turbine and the pump in kj/kg; (c)-the mass flow rate of water used by the power plant; (d)-the thermal efficiency of the cycle; (e)-the temperature rise of the cooling water. assume the cooling water is incompressible with cp 4.18 kj/kg°c.

An insulated tank truck containing 50,000 pounds of double-distilled, deionized water at 30 °c is pumped into a closed, refrigerated storage tank maintained at 5 °c in a facility located on top of mount mitchell, north carolina (elevation 6,684 feet & average july temperature of 84 °f). a)-determine the volume of the storage tank required to hold the purified water. b)- determine the initial and final pressure differences that must be overcome by a liquid pump assuming the storage tank initially contains air at 5 °c. assume the air is slowly bled out of the storage tank during the water transfer c.) during a routine operation today, the tank is slightly ruptured by a stainless steel pipe and a water acrosol of droplets begins to spray out of the storage tank. state all assumptions and determine the internal pressure within the water droplets produced
