Given 0.603MW electrical power supplied to a boiler when the temperature of the entering water is 20 C and the exiting temperature is 89 C. The flow of.the pressured water is 2 Kg/s. There is a negligible pressure drop through this boiler and it operates at a constant pressure of 3 bars. The specific heat is c = 4,370 J/(Kg K). a) Calculate the total rate of entropy production b) Calculate the total rate of exergy destruction (W). The dead state temperature is 293.2 K and pressure is 1 bar. c) Calculate the mass flowrate of fuel (natural gas, CH4) required to heat the water flow to the conditions of the problem if the electrical heating device is replaced with a gas fired boiler. The high heating value (HHV) of the fuel is 50.02 MJ/kg.
