Why is the back-work ratio much higher in the brayton cycle than in the rankine cycle?

Biology
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]2 years ago
3 0

The back-work ratio much higher in the brayton cycle than in the rankine cycle because a gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while a steam cycle is the Rankine cycle. Particularly, the creation of water droplets will be a constraint on the steam turbine's efficiency. Since gas has a bigger specific volume than steam, the compressor will have to work harder while using gas.

Recall the steady flow device's shaft work expression.

W =-∫ V dP +...

As it is in the pump (liquid) compared to turbine (superheated vapor) in the Rankine cycle, the specific volume in the compressor is not significantly less than the specific volume in the turbine in the Brayton cycle.

A thermodynamic cycle that transforms heat into mechanical energy is the Rankine cycle, often known as the Rankine vapor cycle.

The operation of various heat engines that use air or another gas as their working fluid is described by the Brayton cycle, a thermodynamic cycle.

What is included in the body’s nonspecific defense against invading pathogens?
Setler [38]

The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:

mechanical barriers and surface secretions                                             

1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.

2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.

3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.

Humoral defence mechanisms

1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.

2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating

3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.

Why are certain crops grow in a particular season? Give two reasons
weeeeeb [17]
The growing season is the part of the year during which local weather conditions (i.e. rainfall and temperature) permit normal plant growth. While each plant or crop has a specific growing season that depends on its genetic adaptation, growing seasons can generally be grouped into macro-environmental classes.
