Chapter 9, Problem 9.119P
On a very Still morning, the surface temperature of a lake used to cool the condenser of a power plant is 30°C while the air temperature is 23°C with a relative humidity of 80%. Assume a surroundings temperature of 285 K. The lake is nominally circular in shape with a diameter of approximately 4 km. Determine the heat loss from the surface of the lake by radiation, free convection, and evaporation. This heat loss determines the capacity of the lake to cool the condenser. Justify why the heat transfer correlation you select is useful, even though

Exhaust gases from a manufacturing plant are being discharged through a 10-m-tall exhaust stack with outer diameter of 1 m. The exhaust gases are discharged at a rate of 0.125 kg/s, while temperature drop between inlet and exit of the exhaust stack is 30°C, and the constant pressure-specific heat of the exhaust gases is 1600 J/kg.K. On a particular calm day, the surrounding quiescent air temperature is 33°C. Solar radiation is incident on the exhaust stack outer surface at a rate of 500 W/m2, and both the emissivity and solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.9. Determine the exhaust stack outer surface temperature. Assume the film temperature is 60°C.

Please, I need the solution from fundamental concepts of how the heat flow behaves in the system. That it be answered with theory of the subjectarrow_forwardThe boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphere will remain constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm. Consider a 3-m-diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and 196°C. The tank is exposed to 22°C ambient air with a heat transfer coefficient of 22 W/m2 · °C. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the nitrogen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid nitrogen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient air in kg/sec.
