In a food processing plant, hot liquid water is being transported in a pipe (k = 15 W/m - K, D¡= 2.5 cm, Do = 3 cm, and L = 10 m). The hot water flowing with a mass flow rate of 4.15Kg/s enters the pipe at 100°C and exits at 60°C. The plant supervisor thinks that since the hot water exits the pipe at 60°C, the pipe's outer surface temperature should be safe from thermal burn hazards. In order to prevent thermal burn upon accidental contact with skin tissue for individuals working in the vicinity of the pipe, the pipe's outer surface temperature should be kept below 45°C. Determine whether or not there is a risk of thermal burn on the pipe's outer surface. Assume the pipe outer surface temperature remains constant. The properties of water at the bulk mean temperature of Tb=(T₁+ Te)/2 = (100 + 60)/2 = 80°C are: Cp = = 4197 J/kg - K, k = 0.670 W/mK, μ = 0.355 x 10-3 kg/m .s, and Pr = 2.22. The thermal conductivity of the pipe is given as Kpipe = 15 W/m. K. The outer pipe surface…

An electric generator at a power plant produces energy by passing superheated steam from a high temperature container (reservoir), through a pipe connected to a series of fans, and then into a low temperature reservoir. As the steam passes across the blades of the fans some of the heat energy of the steam is transformed into mechanical energy, which turns the fans which in turn are connected to a generator, which in turn converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. If the high temperature steam has a temperature of 436.7 K and the low temperature reservoir has a temperature of 106.7 K, what is the Carnot efficiency of this process?
