Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at a pressure of 1000
$1.00Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at a pressure of 1000 lbf/in2 and a temperature of 1100°F, and exits at a pressure of 4.0 lbf/in2 as a saturated liquid-vapor mixture with a quality of 0.96. Stray heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs. The ambient temperature is 90°F. Measurements indicate that the magnitude of the rate of the stray heat transfer is 3% of the turbine power. The mass flow rate of water through the turbine is 10 lbm/s.
(a) Calculate the turbine power (Btu/s).
(b) For an enlarged control volume that includes the turbine and enough of the surroundings so that the boundary temperature is 90°F, calculate the rate of entropy production (Btu/s-°R).Please show work. Final answer for A) 4620 Btu/s; (B) 1.31 Btu/s·R

Determine the mass flow rate of the incoming superheated , in kg/min
$1.00For the desuperheater shown in Figure, liquid water at state 1 is injected into a stream of superheated vapor entering at state 2. As a result, saturated vapor exits at state 3.

Ignoring stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of the incoming superheated vapor, in kg/min.
Find the magnitude of that force
$1.00
A nucleus that captures a stray neutron [in a nuclear reactor, for example] must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force.That force, which “glues” the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of 1.9 x 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with a diameter of 1.3 x 10-14 m. Assuming the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. (The neutron’s mass is 1.67×10-27 kg.)F = ? N
[Hint: When the acceleration is constant, the velocity changes from vi to vf during the same interval. The average velocity over that interval is (vi + Vf)/2.]
