Description: an apartment building has a pumped ring main that circulates hot water at 75 c through insulated 40 mm pipe with heat loss of 17 watts/metre. at each apartment, this hot water is mixed with cold water to a delivery temperature of 50c? one of the sub-questions provides extra info: it takes 0.00119 kwh/degree/litre to heat water from 15c to 50c.
my problem:
with typical water-efficient shower and taps, typical melbourne usage of hot water is 44 litres/day/person. for typical occupancy of 1.8 people, what is the effective efficiency of this hot water distribution system (for simplicity assume the existing heating system feeding the distribution system is 100% note that this efficiency calculation ignores the efficiency of production of hot water.
if anyone can me or if anyone has any idea that would be great!
: )

Consider a power plant with water as the working fluid that operates on an ideal rankine cycle. it has a net power output of 45mw. superheated steam enters the turbine at 7mpa and 500°c (h=3411.4 kj/kg; s=6.8 kj/kg k) and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. (a) show the cycle on a t-s diagram (a right schematic is fine - you do not need to calculate the temperatures at each point); (b)-determine the work done by the turbine and the pump in kj/kg; (c)-the mass flow rate of water used by the power plant; (d)-the thermal efficiency of the cycle; (e)-the temperature rise of the cooling water. assume the cooling water is incompressible with cp 4.18 kj/kg°c.

At steady state, air enters an insulated duct of varying cross-sectional area (similar to a nozzle or diffuser) at 200 kpa, 52°c with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa, the velocity is 255 m/s, and the cross-sectional area is 2 x 10-3 m^2. assuming an ideal gas model, determine: a)-find the specific volume of the air at the exit, in m3/kg. b)- the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. c)-the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. d)-the inlet cross-sectional area, in m^2.
