Problem1:
A steam power plant receives heat from a furnace at a rate of 280 GJ/h. The total heat rejected by this power plant is
153 GJ/h. If the waste heat is transferred to the cooling water at a rate of 145 GJ/h, determine: a. Net power output b.
The thermal efficiency of this power plant.
Problem2: Write statements of the Second law of Thermodynamics( Carnot, Clausius, Kelvin-Planck,..) !
Problem 3: Using the data, calculate ∆S◦rxn for the reaction:
SiCl4(g)+2Mg(s) −−→ 2MgCl2(s)+Si(s)
Substance: SiCl4(g) Mg(s) MgCl2(s) Si(s)
S◦(J/Kmol): 330.73 32.68 89.62 18.83
calculate ∆S◦ rxn for the reaction: Can the Reaction take place? Why OR Why Not

Problem 4: For a power plant the power output= 600 Mega Watt and the thermal efficiency is
(40%) of are given. Find the rate of heat rejection Assumptions 1 The plant operates steadily. 2 Heat
losses from the working fluid at the pipes and other components are negligible. the maximum pressure is
P1.

Problem 5: An inventor claims to have developed a heat engine. The inventor reports the source temperature
TH=500 K The sink Temp TC=290 K The source heat load QH= 700 kJ The work output to be W= 300 kJ and QH,
heat transfer, and work output measurements. What can you say about this machine? Use calculations!

Problem 6
The Coefficient of Performance(COP) and the refrigeration rate(QL) of an ice machine are given. Find the
power consumption of the ice machine . Assumptions The ice machine operates steadily.
COP = 2.4 QL=4732 btu/hr Water in @ 55 0F ice out at 25 0F
