Afuel oil is burned with air in a boiler furnace. the combustion produces 813 kw of thermal energy, of which 65% is transferred as heat to boiler tubes that pass through the furnace. the combustion products pass from the furnace to a stack of 550∘c. water enters the boiler tubes as a liquid at 30∘c and leaves the tubes as saturated steam at 20 bar absolute.

(a) calculate the rate (kg/h) at which steam is produced.

(b) use the steam tables to estimate the volumetric flow rate of the steam produced.

(c) repeat calculation of part (b), only assume ideal-gas behavior instead of using the steam tables. would you have more confidence in the estimate of part (b) or part (c)? explain.

(d) what happened to the 35% of the thermal energy released by the combustion that did not go to produce the steam?

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
