Interpretation:
The number of tenants in office buildings for the given conditions should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The concept of unitary methods in mathematics is used for calculating the number of tenants. Based on the given data of items with respect to the power consumption per unit. The quantities of specific items are multiplying with its power consumption.
For calculation of the number of tenants, total power consumed per unit along with total power supplied by the solid oxide fuel cell is being considered.

- Ex. HW. A vertical glass tube, 2cm ID & 5m long in heated uniformly over its length. The water enter at (200-204 C) & 68.9 bar calculated the pressure drop if the flowrate 0.15 Kg/s & the power applied as a heat to the fluid is 100KW using the homogeneous model. Given that enthalpy at inlet temp.=0.87MJ/Kg, enthalpy saturation temp (285C)=1.26 MJ/Kg and μl=0.972*10-4 Ns/m2, μG=2.89*10-5 Ns/m2, UG=2.515*10-2m3/Kg and the change in UG over range of pressure=-4.45*10-4m3/Kg/bar.arrow_forward4. An experimental test rig is used to examine two-phase flow regimes in horizontal pipelines. A particular experiment involved uses air and water at a temperature of 25°C, which flow through a horizontal glass tube with an internal diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 40 m. Water is admitted at a controlled rate of 0.026 kgs at one end and air at a rate of 5 x 104 kgs in the same direction. The density of water is 1000 kgm³, and the density of air is 1.2 kgm. Determine the mass flow rate, the mean density, gas void fraction, and the superficial velocities of the air and water. Answer: 0.02605 kgs 1, 61.1 kgm³, 0.94, 0.822 ms-1, 0.051 ms-1arrow_forwardand the viscosity of the water is 1.24 × 104 Nsm 2. Answer: Slug flow 1. Determine the range of mean density of a mixture of air in a 50:50 oil-water liquid phase across a range of gas void fractions. The den- sity of oil is 900 kgm³, water is 1000 kgm³, and gas is 10 kgm³.arrow_forward
- A chemical reaction takes place in a container of cross-sectional area 50.0 cm2. As a result of the reaction, a piston is pushed out through 15 cm against an external pressure of 121 kPa. Calculate the work done (in J) by the system.arrow_forwardExample 7.2 Steam is generated in a high pressure boiler containing tubes 2.5 m long and 12.5 mm internal diameter. The wall roughness is 0.005 mm. Water enters the tubes at a pressure of 55.05 bar and a temperature of 270°C, and the water flow rate through each tube is 500 kg/h. Each tube is heated uniformly at a rate of 50 kW. Calle (a) Estimate the pressure drop across each tube (neglecting end effects) using (i) the homogeneous flow model and (ii) the Martinelli-Nelson correlation.
