Surface tension is often calculated using a machine that lifts a wire ring from the surface of a liquid. In this case the ring and liquid have some cohesive forces and attract rather than repel. In order to lift a ring of radius 2.75 cm off of the surface of a pool of blood plasma, a vertical force of 2.00*10-2 N greater than the weight of the ring is required. Consider the situation just before the ring breaks contact with the blood plasma where the blood plasma makes a contact angle of approximately zero degrees along the circumference of the ring and is stretched down vertically on both sides of the ring.

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure. (3.32 mw; 9.69 mw; 4.25 mw; 5.82 mw)
