The city of Springfield (where the Simpsons live) has finally decided to put the perpetually burning tire pile to good use. They use the heat to generate power (much to the chagrin of Mr. Burns). The plant has a concrete stack that emits flue gases into the atmosphere as shown in the figure below. Q 2 |D= 10 ft L = 250 ft From heat source 1• 14 ft- 4 ft For p₁ = 31.0 in. Hg, abs. and V₂ = 2400 ft/min, find the useful energy loss in the system (between points 1 and 2) in ft-lb/lbm. At point 2, T₂ = 350°F and p2 = 14.90 psia. Use a constant flue gas density of 0.055 lbm/ft³. Note: Point 1 is in a square duct; Point 2 (the stack) is a round duct. loss= ft-lb/lbm
