Water enters the steam generator of the power plant shown in the figure at 7MPa, 50 degrees C, and exits at 7MPa, 600 degrees C. The steam is then fed into a well-insulated turbine, developing a power output of 31.6 MW before exiting the turbine as a two-phase, liquid vapor mixture at 10kPa with a quality of 90%. Combustion gases enter the steam generator at 730 degrees C and are cooled to 170 degrees C. For steady operation, determine: A) the mass flow rate of combustion gases in kg/s. B) The rate of energy transfer between the gas and vapor streams in the steam generator in kJ/s. The combustion gases can be modeled as air as an ideal gases with constant specific heats at 600 K. Ignore any heat losses from the components to the surroundings and neglect all kinetic and potential energy effects.

Pump steadily draws water at a mass flow rate : A pump steadily draws water at a mass flow rate at 20 lbm/s through a piping arrangement. At the pipe inlet, the pressure is 14.7 lbf/in^2, the temperature is 68 F, and the velocity is 10 ft/s. At the pipe exit, the pressure is 20 lbf/in^2, the tempe..

Use tolerance limit calculation as basis for your judgment : A random sample of 12 shearing pins is taken in a study of the Rockwell hardness of the pin head. Measurements on the Rockwell hardness are made for each of the 12, yielding an average value of 48.50 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5.
