11B.6. Transpiration cooling in a planar system. Two large flat porous horizontal plates are sepa- rated by a relatively small distance L. The upper plate at y = L is at temperature T₁, and the lower one at y = 0 is to be maintained at a lower temperature To. To reduce the amount of heat that must be removed from the lower plate, an ideal gas at To is blown upward through both plates at a steady rate. Develop an expression for the temperature distribution and the amount of heat qo that must be removed from the cold plate per unit area as a function of the fluid properties and gas flow rate. Use the abbreviation = pCpv,L/k. Answer: edy/Let 1-e k(T₁ - To) Φ L T-TL To - TL Problems 365 ; 9⁰ =

You, a process design engineer, are tasked to build a powerplant that utilizes 1.5 metric tons of municipal solid wastes (MSW) per hour. In an industrial boiler, MSW is burned to heat and pressurize 1 kg/s of preheated water to high-pressure steam (44 atm, 450 °C). The high-pressure steam, moving at a linear velocity of 70 m/s, is then used to drive a high-pressure turbine. In a heat exchanger, the used steam from the outlet of high-P turbine at an intermediate pressure (10 atm, 250 °C) is used to preheat the water that will be fed to the boiler. This water is pumped from an underground reservoir at a low velocity (1 atm, 25 °C). After preheating the water, the intermediate-pressure steam leaving the heat exchanger is then used to drive a low-pressure turbine. Lastly, the steam from outlet of the low-P turbine leaves at a velocity of 10 m/s (at 1 atm and 100 °C) via an exhaust 10 m above the pump inlet. The industrial boiler is insulated, but due to the high temperatures and the nature…

A power station uses oil-fired boilers which are supplied with fuel from 4 cylindrical tanks, each with 12 m diameter and 11 m high. The calorific value of the oil is 38,039 kJ/kg and its relative density is 0.78. The output from the power station is 77 MW. Assuming the only 21% of the heat input is converted to into electrical energy output, how long will the boilers run (in days) on the oil in the tanks. Correct Answer: 4.7 ± 0.1

A small-scale Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system uses a rigid tank, whichhas been sized to 1m3. The air storage helps support various fluid power (pneumatics)requirements, but also serves for energy storage (when fully charged).The tank sits in a plant room having a temperature of 25oC at 1 atmosphere (101.325kPa).When delivered new and installed the tank (and the ambient air it contains) is assumedinitially at the same steady state conditions in the plant room. The tank can be filled with(dry) air to a maximum pressure of 300bar. When left in the plant room, the pressurised airtank eventually attains the plant room temperature.You may assume:> Steady state conditions apply> Negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy> Thermal mass of the tank (metal) is negligible Apply the ideal gas equation and calculate the mass of 25oC air (units: kg) in the fullypressurised tank.
