You are working as an expert witness for an environmental agency. A utility in a neighboring town has proposed a new power plant that produces electrical power P from turbines. The utility claims that the plant will take in steam at temperature Th and reject water at temperature Tc into a flowing cold-water river. The flow rate of the river is Δm/Δt. The agency supervisor is concerned about the effect of dumping warm water on the fish in the river. (a) The utility claims that the power plant operates with Carnot efficiency. With that assumption, you need to determine for a trial presentation by how much the temperature of the water downstream from the power plant will rise due to the rejected energy from the power plant. (b) If you abandon the utility’s claim that the power plant operates at Carnot efficiency and assume a more realistic efficiency e, you need to determine the increase in water temperature in the stream. (c) Finally, you need to testify whether the increase in water…

In an industrial process, a fuel-air mixture is fitted with a piston. When the mixture is ignited at a constant pressure of 700mm Hg, 2.0 kJ of energy is released and is found to occupy a final volume of 200L. What would be the initial volume occupied by the mixture if all energy released is converted as work done by the system to push the piston?

- Refrigerant 134a enters a compressor with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s and a negligible velocity. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at 10°C and leaves the compressor at 1400 kPa with an enthalpy of 281.39 kJ/kg and a velocity of 50 m/s. The rate of work done on the refrigerant is measured to be 132.4 kW. If the elevation change between the compressor inlet and exit is negligible, determine the rate of heat transfer associated with this process, in kW.arrow_forwardWater at 15°C is to be pumped from a reservoir (zA = 2 m) to another reservoir at a higher elevation (zB = 9 m) through two 25-m-long plastic pipes connected in parallel. The diameters of the two pipes are 3 cm and 5 cm. Water is to be pumped by a 68 percent efficient motor–pump unit that draws 8 kW of electric power during operation. The minor losses and the head loss in the pipes that connect the parallel pipes to the two reservoirs are considered to be negligible.

Assume the air enters via a 10 cm diameter pipe at 20 m/s.arrow_forwardYou are working in a condensed-matter laboratory for your senior project. Several of the ongoing projects use liquid helium, which is contained in a thermally insulated vessel that can hold up to a maximum of Vmax = 240 L of the liquid at Tc = 4.20 K. Because some of the liquid helium has already been used, someone asks you to check to see if there is enough for the next day, on which four different experimental groups will need liquid helium. You are not sure how to measure the amount of liquid remaining, so you insert an aluminum rod of length L = 2.00 m and with a cross-sectional area A = 2.50 cm2 into the vessel. By seeing how much of the lower end of the rod is frosted when you pull it out, you can estimate the depth of the liquid helium. After inserting the rod, however, one of the experimenters calls you over to perform a task and you forget about the rod, leaving it in the liquid helium until the next morning. How much liquid helium is available for the next day’s experiments?…arrow_forward
- I need help solving number 11. In question 1, they say U=(3/2)PV I found work on the gas as -3/2PV, so therefore Q should be 6/2PV but the answer key says 6PV.arrow_forwardi tried many times but still wrong.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a cylinder filled with an ideal gas, which has a moveable piston resting on it. The cylinder's volume is initially 5.50 L, when a force on the piston of F = 22.0 kN pushes the piston downward a distance d = 0.145 m, until the volume of the cylinder is 3.00 L. The process occurs while the cylinder is in thermal contact with a large energy reservoir at a temperature of 295 K. d (a) How much work (in kJ) is done on the gas by the piston during the process? kJ (b) What is the change in internal energy (in kJ) of the gas during the process (from the initial state to the final state)? kJ (c) What is the energy transfer (in kJ) by the gas as heat during the process?
