A) Steam enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state with a specific enthalpy of 2,663 kJ/kg and a mass flow rate of 0.1 kg/s. At the exit, the specific enthalpy is 1,531 kJ/kg. If there is no significant change in kinetic energy from inlet to exit, determine the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings, in kW. B) Refrigerant 134a enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state at 40°C, 3.1 bar and a velocity of...

Problem 6.123 As shown in the figure below, water behind a dam enters an intake pipe at a pressure of 24 psia and velocity of 5 ft/s, flows through a hydraulic turbine-generator, and exits at a point 21 = 140ft below the intake at 19 psia, 45 ft/s, and a specific volume of 0.01602 ft/lb. The diameter of the exit pipe is 5 ft and the local acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2. Water Dam P1 = 24 psia Vi...
A 50-gallon electric water heater is used to heat tap water with an initial temperature of 15oC. The heating level is set at a maximum while several people are taking their showers. If the maximum heating level of the heater is 7.5kW of electricity and the water use rate is 3 gal/min, what is the temperature of the water exiting the heater? Assume that the system is at steady state and the heater is 100% efficient; that is it is...
25 pts Household Energy Consumption and Electric Bill How Energy Is Used in Homes (2009) In 2009-2017, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10.766 kilowatthours (kWh), an average of 897 kWh per month Req. For the month of June (30 days with 24hr/day) Determine i) the total hours i) Kilowatts/month of June. il) Electric bill based on a charge of $0.085/kwh(-0.079kwh electricity +0.06 transmission). $ iv) Assuming the home has an electric water heater,...
5, (25 points) A Carnot heat pump is used to maintain a house at 20 °C in winter and consumes 8 kW of power (electricity) when operating. On a day temperature outside the house is -3 °C, the house is estimated to lose heat at an average rate of 80,000 kJ/h. (Sa). (2p) Please identify the hot reservoir and the cool reservoir of this heat pump. (5b). (2p) Please draw of schematic diagram of this heat pump-house heating system with...
QUESTIONS 1. Refrigerant-134a is cooled by water in a condenser. The refrigerant enters the condenser at a pressure of 1 MPa and a temperature of 70°C at a flow rate of 6 kg / min and exits at a temperature of 35 °C. Cooling water enters the condenser at 300 kPa pressure and 15 °C temperature and exits at 25 °C temperature. By neglecting pressure losses, Calculate; a) mass flow of cooling water b) the heat transfer from the refrigerant...

Exercise 10 Consider a 2-m-high electric hot water heater that has a diameter of 40 cm and maintains the hot water at 55°C. The tank is located in a small room whose average temperature is 27°C, and the heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the heater are 50 and 12 W/m2.°C, respectively. The tank is placed in another 46-cm-diameter sheet metal tank of negligible thickness, and the space between the two tanks is filled with foam...
