Consider a simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. The two cycles are

very much alike, except the feedwater in the regenerative cycle is heated by extracting some steam just before it enters the turbine. Hence, the simple ideal Rankine cycle is more efficient than the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. How would you compare the efficiencies of of these two cycles?

Answer:

They both have the same efficiency.

Explanation:

The simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater would both have the same efficiency because the extraction steam would just create a mini cycle that recirculates. The energy given to the feedwater heater is proportional to the added heat in the boiler to the feedwater in the simple cycle to raise its temperature to the same boiler inlet condition.

Therefore in comparison, the efficiency is the same for both.

Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the worki
storchak [24]

Answer:

True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>

<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor. </em>

A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

Can glasses be formed using metallic materials?​
Westkost [7]
Metallic glasses are sometimes formed when molten metal is cooled too fast for its atoms to arrange themselves in a structured, crystalline order. "The material can't decide which crystalline structure it wants to converge to, and a metallic glass emerges
