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

1 answer:

4 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.

<h3>What are modern Brayton engines?</h3>

Even originally Brayton exclusively produced piston engines, modern Brayton engines are virtually invariably of the turbine variety. Brayton engines are also gas turbines.

<h3>What is the ranking cycle?</h3>

A gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while the Ranking cycle is a steam cycle. The production of water droplets will especially decrease the steam turbine's performance. Gas-powered compressors will have to do more work since gas's specific volume is greater than steam's.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The practical considerations you might encounter when you increase the moment of inertia (I) while keeping the cross-sectional area fixed are:

1. Shapes of moment of inertia: Engineers should consider or know the different shapes of moment of inertia for different shape

2. Understanding the orientation of the beam: this will allow engineers to either increase or decrease the moment of inertia of a beam without increasing its cross sectional area.

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter ???

Andrej [43]

We need to define the variables,

So,

$F_x (x) = 1-e^{-\lambda x}\\F_x (x) = 1-e^{-0.5x}$

Therefore, the probability that the repair time is more than 4 horus can be calculate as,

$P(x>4)=1-P(x4)= 1-F_x(4)\\P(x>4) = 1-e^{-0.5*4}\\P(x>4) = 1-0.98\\P(x>4) = 0.018$

The probability that the repair time is more than 4 hours is 0.136

b) The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hoirs is calculated as,

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=P(X\geq7+5|x>7)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=P(X\geq5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-P(x\leq 5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-e^{-0.5(2)}$

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=0.6321$

The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hours is 0.63
