Applying the Second Law to Reacting SystemsAn inventor has

Chapter 13, Problem 89P

(choose chapter or problem)

An inventor has developed a device that at steady state takes in liquid water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm with a mass flow rate of 4 kg/h and produces separate streams of hydrogen (\(\mathrm{H}_{2}\)) and oxygen (\(\mathrm{O}_{2}\)), each at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm. The inventor claims that the device requires an electrical power input of 14.6 kW when operating isothermally at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Heat transfer with the surroundings occurs, but kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Evaluate the inventor’s claim.
