A water pump is used in a heating system to deliver hot water at 91 GPM and 121 ft w.c. The pump efficiency is 90%. What is the water horsepower?
Suppose 400 kW of power potential is wasted during the process as a result of irreversibility. Let say the heat pump received heat at a rate of 1000 kJ/s from a heat source. The reversible power of the present process is found to be 800 kW. Find unavailable heat, which is rejected to the sink.
Water vapor enters a turbine at 6 MPa pressure and 800 ° C temperature and leaves at 20 kPa pressure. Since the heat loss from the turbine with an izanopic efficiency of 95% is 49.7 kJ / kg,
a) Find the actual amount of work (kj / kg) produced by the turbine.
b) Find the reversible work (kJ / kg) between the inlet and outlet of the turbine. (Take the ambient temperature 20 ° C.)
