A 12 ft high boiling water channel operates at 800 psia with 18.23°F subcooling at the inlet. The nonboiling height is 4 ft. The slip ratio is 2. The exit quality is 20 percent. The friction factor is 0.015. The equivalent diameter of the channel is 0.14 ft. (a) Find the acceleration pressure drop if the friction pressure drop is 10 lb/ft². (b) Find the power generated in the channel in MW(t) per ft² channel flow area. (c) Calculate the nonboiling and boiling heights if heat is added along the channel i) uniformly and ii) sinusoidally.
