If 18 kg of air is supplied per kg of coal burnt and the efficiency of pre-heater is 80% determine (a) the percentage saving of heat of coal in the pre-heater, (b) the temperature of air leaving the pre-heater if the initial temperature of air is 27°C. Take Cp of air and flue gases equal to 1.05 kJ/kg.

In a thermal power plant, steam is obtained from the boiler at 70 bar and 450 °C. This steam is expanded in a high pressure (H.P) turbine to 25 bar and then reheated to 420°C at constant pressure. The steam is then expanded in the intermediate pressure (I.P) turbine. Part of the steam leaving the intermediate pressure turbine is taken to an open exchanger at 180°C (FW) and the remaining steam is taken to a low pressure (L.P) turbine, where it is expanded to 0.07 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the high pressure turbine is 78.5%, the intermediate pressure turbine is and the low pressure turbine has an efficiency of 83%. The boiler has a conversion efficiency of 72%. The mass flow rate of water in the boiler is 15 kg/s. For this system calculate:(a) The net power of the cycle.b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle.c) The amount of coal required each hour in the system.d) The hourly price of coal in the system.

5-9 Jet Porpulsion - Applied Thermodybnamics Consider an aircraft powered by a turbojet engine that has a pressure ratio of 9. The aircraft is stationary on the ground, held in position by its brakes. The ambient air is at 17°C and 95 kPa and enters the engine at a rate of 17 kg/s. The jet fuel has a heating value of 42700 kJ/kg, and it is burned completely at a rate of 0.5 kg/s. Neglecting the effect of the diffuser and disregarding the slight increase in mass at the engine exit as well as the inefficiencies of engine components, determine the force that must be applied on the brakes to hold the plane stationary. Use data from the tables. Question: The force that must be applied on the brakes is ____N.

. A steady-flow Carnot refrigeration cycle uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid at 608C in the condenser as it rejects heat. The evaporator pressure is 140 kPa. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram relative to saturation lines, and determine (a) the coefficient of performance, (b) the amount of heat absorbed from the refrigerated space, and (c) the net work input.
A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle. The refrigerant evaporates at 5.00°F and condenses at 180 psia. This unit serves a 45000 Btu/h cooling load. Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant and the power that this unit will require. (Take the required values from saturated refrigerant-134a tables.) (Round the final answers to three decimal places.) The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is Ibm/h, and the power requirement is kW.
Consider a two-stage cascade refrigeration system operating between the pressure limits of 1.4 MPa and 280 kPa using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid. The heat rejection from the lower cycle to the upper cycle occurs in an adiabatic counterflow heat exchanger where the pressures in the upper and lower cycles are 0.5 MPa and 600 kPa, respectively. In both cycles, the refrigerant exits the condenser as a saturated liquid and enters the compressor as a saturated vapor. The isentropic efficiency of the compressors is 85 percent. Given the mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the lower cycle is 0.18 kg/s, calculate: (a) The mass flow rate of the refrigerant through the upper cycle. (b) The rate of heat extraction from the cooling area. (c) The Coefficient of Performance (COP) of this refrigeration system.
