Question
A chemical plant process a fluid having a flow rate of 5 lb/sec passes through a pipe where heat
is transferred at the rate of 50 Btu/sec. How much work can be done by this system if the velocity,
enthalpy and the height at the entrance are 100 ft/sec, 1000 Btu/lbm, and 100 ft. respectively.
At the exit the values of these quantities are 50 ft/S, 1020 Btu/lbm, and 0 ft. What is the area in
the inlet if the specific volume of the fluid is 15 ft3/lb.
a. 48.5 Btu/s, 208 in²
b. 98.5 Btu/s, 108 in²
c. 48.5 Btu/s, 108 in²
d. 40.5 Btu/s, 118 in²
