Steam enters a turbine at a pressure of 6 mpa and temperature of 500°c with a flow rate of 140,000 kg/hr, and leaves as saturated vapor at 40 kpa. the turbine generates 4000 kw of power and is contained within a room at a temperature of 25°c. -draw an appropriately labeled diagram -list assumptions, and derive a variables-only equation for the entropy generated during this process in terms of intensive properties and known variables. -determine the entropy generated through the turbine.

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 0.015 m3 is at 32°c and 140 kpa gage. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 206 kpa gage. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 128 kpa and the temperature and the volume to remain constant.[r-0.287 kj/kgk]
