You are tasked with evaluating the stirring tank in a chemical plant. The temperature of the inlet stream of the fluid entering the tank is at 300K, has a specific heat capacity of 10 J/(kg*K) and a flow rate of 1 kg/s. The stirrer adds 10 kW power to the system, while an internal cooling coil in the tank removes heat at a rate of 5000 J/s. The line surrounding the pipe of the outlet stream of the fluid exiting the tank will catch on fire if it reaches a temperature of above 500K. Will the liner catch fire?

Three return steam lines in a chemical processing plant enter a collection tank operating at steady state at 5 bar. Steam enters inlet 1 with flow rate of 1.4 kg/s and quality of 0.9. Steam enters inlet 2 with flow rate of 2 kg/s at 200°C. Steam enters inlet 3 with flow rate of 1.2 kg/s at 95°C. Steam exits the tank at 5 bar. The rate of heat transfer from the collection tank is 40 kW. Neglecting kinetic and...
A pump carries water at a temperature of 30 ° C from one tank (A) to another (B). The diameter of the pipe leaving tank A and reaching the pump is 4 inches. The diameter of the pipe leaving the pump and reaching tank B is 3 inches. The pump motor increases the fluid pressure by 3 kgf / cm2 (ΔP), and generates a power per unit of mass of 300 J / kg. Calculate the height difference (ΔZ) between...
A two-pipe direct return chilled water system with an expansion tank is used to circulate water for cooling three identical loads in a commercial building.

A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 2. A portion (y'') of the steam exiting Turbine 2 at P3 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 3. The exit of Turbine...
