Determine the specific exergy of saturated water vapour weighing 2kg at 120°C, having a velocity of...
a) In thermodynamics, what is the second law efficiency? How does it differ from the first law efficiency? (2 marks) b) Can a system have a higher second law efficiency than the first law efficiency during a process? Give examples (Hint: Consider efficiencies of a reversible cycle). (2 marks) c) An ideal gas is stored in a closed vessel at pressure p and temperature T. If p = po, derive an expression for the specific exergy in terms of T,...
Water entering a wet cooling tower at 35°C at a rate of 100 kg/s is cooled to 22°C in the cooling tower by air that enters the tower at 1 atm, 20°C, and 60% relative humidity and leaves saturated at 30°C. The makeup water of 22°C is supplied to the outlet to make the mass flow rate of the cool water the same as that at the inlet, see Figure Q5. Q.5Water entering a wet cooling tower at 35°C at...
Objective To determine the force generated by a jet of water striking on a surface Description of apparatus The supply is led to a vertical pipe terminating in a tapered nozzle. This produces a jet of water which impinges on the vane in the form of a Flat Plate, Hemispherical Cup, Conical Plate or 30° Angled Plate. The nozzle and vane are contained within a transparent cylinder; at the base of the cylinder there is an outlet by which the...
