Apower plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 mpa, 560°c and expands to 1 mpa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 mpa. the remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 28 kpa. saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 mpa. the net power output for the cycle is 100 mw. for isentropic processes in the turbines and pumps, determine: (a) the percent cycle thermal efficiency. (b) the mass flow rate into the first turbine stage, in kg/s. (c) the rate of entropy production in the open feedwater heater, in kw/k.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Apiping systems consists of 6 m of 6-std type k and 12 m of 4-std type k, both drawn copper tubing. the system conveys ethylene glycol at a rate of 0.013 m3/s. the pressure drop across the system is to be calculated. there are two 90° elbows in the 6-in pipe, a reduction from the 6-in pipe to the 4-in pipe and four 90° elbows in the 4-in pipe. all fittings are soldered (same as flanged) and regular. the inlet and outlet of the system are at the same height.
