Question

Determine the 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). There is a 150W rate of heat loss from the boiler during this process to a surrounding at 293.2 k. Consider steady state conditions.
Calculate the total rate of entropy production in

Expert Solution
Step 1

The inlet and exit temperature respectively are 20 degree Celsius and 89 degree Celsius. Also, the flow rate of pressured water is 2 kg/s. Consider Q as the heat energy, m as the mass, C as the specific heat, Tf as the exit temperature, and Ti as the inlet temperature. Also, consider P as the electrical power. Now, the rate of heat energy gives power. Thus, calculate the required electrical power.

Step 2

The pressure drop in the boiler is negligible. Calculate the rate of entropy when the flow raises heat in the boiler.
