Let the fraction f of the rw is converted into steam. Hence, the heat energy transferred to the tank will be used to raise the temperature of the water (f*rw) from Tw to T and converting into steam.
q = f*rw*L + rw*Cw*(T-Tw)
=> f = (q - rw*Cw*(T-Tw))/(rw*L) ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "

  • Turbine Thermal Efficiency

    The steam leaving the reheat section of the steam generator is @ 500 degrees celcius, and the condensor pressure is 5 kPa. If the quality at the exit of the second-stage turbine is 90%, determine the cycle thermal efficiency.

  • Power Generation: Efficiency

    For a steam turbine, for a nuclear power station the output and the real and Cornot efficiencies are calculated.

  • Specify Control Scheme: Heat Exchanger

    A reactor is cooled by circulating liquid through a heat exchanger that produces low-pressure (10 psig) steam. This steam is then split between a compressor and a turbine. The portion that goes through the turbine drives the compressor.

  • Capital Budgeting Decisions: Net Present Value, IRR

    The cost of a steam generator (installed) is $140,000, and annual maintenance and fuel expenses are estimated at $22,000. The generator is expected to last for 10 years, at which time it will be worthless.

  • Rankine Open Cycle

    What is thermal efficiency and the moisture content of the steam leaving the low-pressure turbine? ** For the chart, please see the attachment ** P3=3MPa, T3=400Ã?°C P4=0.8MPa P5=P4=0.8MPa, T5=400Ã?

  • Rankine Cycles

    3664 Rankine Cycles Consider an ideal steam reheat and regenerative cycle where steam leaves a steam gen and enters a high pressure turbine at 3 Mpa and T=400 C and is extracted to an open feedwater heater at 0.8 Mpa.

  • NPV Explanation and Calculation

    A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $300,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $340,000.

  • Calculating the energy required to change temperatures

    A liter of gas, initially at a pressure of 500Pa, is compressed from 1.00 L to 0.25 L. During the compression process, heat is dissipated to maintain a constant temperature. What is the final pressure? 5.

  • Specify Control Scheme for Heat Integrated Distillation Columns

    (d) The pressure in the first column is controlled by vapor flow rate to the auxiliary condenser. A low pressure override pinches the vapor valve to the second column reboiler.
