  1. A bio-reactor is kept at 45°C on a day where the outside is 20°C. It is estimated that the bio-reactor loses 12 kW to the ambient. Waste heat at 450 K from an engine is used to deliver the heat to the bio-reactor. Find the destruction of exergy and where it is made.


  2. The condenser in a power plant cools 10 kg/s water at 10 kPa, quality 90%, so it comes out as saturated liquid at 10 kPa. The cooling is done by ocean water coming in at ambient 15°C and returned to the ocean at 20°C. Find the second-law efficiency of the condenser.

A room in the summer is to be maintained at 20°C, 50% RH when the outside conditions are 35°C, 80% saturation. The sensible and latent heat gains are 5.5 kW and 1.4 kW respectively. The conditioned air is supplied through ducks from a central station consisting of a cooler battery, a reheat battery, and a fan. Fresh air is supplied to a mixing unit where it mixes with a certain percentage of air recirculated from the room, the remainder of...

The reaction A + 2B  C + D is taking place in a batch reactor. (Cao =1M, Cbo = 3M k=0.001 (1/M^2*min)). a) Assuming an elementary rate law, find the time necessary to reach the conversion of 0.9. You can assume constant volume batch reactor with well mixing. Also form the stoichiometric table. (15 points) b) Sometimes it is hard to obtain numerical solutions to the complex integrals. Find the answer using trapezoidal, Simpson 1/3 and Simpson 3/8, Five-point...
