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

Biology

Ivanshal [37]2 years ago

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.

Answer:No, it cannot do any of the seven things it needs to be able to do to count as being alive such as:

Movement - all living things move, even plants

Respiration - getting energy from food

Sensitivity - detecting changes in the surroundings

Growth - all living things grow

Reproduction - making more living things of the same type

Excretion - getting rid of waste

Nutrition - taking in and using food

The car cannot grow or make baby cars. So a car is not alive.

Well, many organisms would die. Plants need light so they would  die out rather quickly. The surrounding area would warm up initially due to the green house effect, but would eventually cool down.

Which process is occuring when a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane and releases it's contents outside the cell?
xeze [42]

During the process of exocytosis, the cell membrane extends to engulf substances that are too big to pass through the cell membrane. Receptor proteins bind to signal molecules outside the cell.
