Textbook Question

Chapter 10.9, Problem 95RP

Steam enters the turbine of a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle at a pressure of 6 MPa, and it leaves as a saturated vapor at 7.5 kPa. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 40,000 kJ/s. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 15°C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the turbine inlet temperature, (b) the net power output and thermal efficiency, and (c) the minimum mass flow rate of the cooling water required.

use Q Strips of material 10 mm thick are dried under constant drying conditions from 28 to 13 per cent moisture in 25 ks. The equilibrium moisture content is 7 per cent. The relation between E, the ratio of the final free moisture content at time t to the initial free moisture content, and the parameter J is given by: E 1 0.64 0.49 0.38 0.295 0.22 0.14 J 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.6 العنوان 0.7 It may be noted that J = kt/12, where, k = constant, t = time (ks) 1 = thickness/2 of the sheet of material (mm) a. Based on the given data, plot a graph of E against J b. Determine the time taken to dry 60 mm planks from 22 to 10 per cent moisture under the same conditions assuming no loss from the edges? ina östler ۲/۱

14.25.2.5 kg/s of a solution at 288 K containing 10 per cent of dissolved solids is fed to a forward-feed double-effect evaporator, operating at 14 kN/m² in the last effect. If the product is to consist of a liquid containing 50 per cent by mass of dissolved solids and dry saturated steam is fed to the steam coils, what PROBLEMS 1179 should be the pressure of the steam? The surface in each effect is 50 m² and the coefficients for heat transfer in the first and second effects are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/ m² K, respectively. It may be assumed that the concentrated solution exhibits a boiling-point rise of 5 deg K, that the latent heat has a constant value of 2260 kJ/kg and that the specific heat capacity of the liquid stream is constant at 3.75 kJ/kg K O

: +0 العنوان use only 5) A 100 kg batch of granular solids containing 30% moisture is to be dried in a tray drier to 15.5% by passing a current of air at 350 K tangentially across its surface at a velocity of 1.8 m/s. If the constant rate of drying under these conditions is 0.7 g/s m2 and the critical moisture content is 15%, calculate the approximate drying time. Assume the drying surface to be 0.03 m2 /kg dry mass. мони
