To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal transfer given by the thermodynamic definition of heat as a function of mass, specific heat and temperature change.

Mathematically this is equivalent to

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where

m = mass

C_p = Specific Heat

\Delta T = Change at temperature

In mass terms (KJ / g) this can be expressed as

\frac{Q}{g} = \frac{C_p \Delta T}{m_{grams}}

Our values are given as

\Delta T = 29.8-25.25 = 4.55\°C

C_p = 31.71kJ/\°C

Replacing,

\frac{Q}{m} = \frac{(31.71kJ/\°C) (4.55\°C)}{2.599g}

\frac{Q}{m} =55.51kJ/g

Therefore the heat of combustion per gram on the material is 55.51KJ/g

A homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time. Determine the average cost per k
Llana [10]

Answer:

16.2 cents

Explanation:

Given that a homeowner consumes 260 kWh of energy in July when the family is on vacation most of the time.

Where Base monthly charge of $10.00. First 100 kWh per month at 16 cents/kWh. Next 200 kWh per month at 10 cents/kWh. Over 300 kWh per month at 6 cents/kWh.

For the first 100 kWh:

16 cent × 100 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

Since 1 dollar = 100 cents

For the remaining energy:

260 - 100 = 160 kwh

10 cents × 160 = 1600 cents = 16 dollars

The total cost = 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 dollars

Note that the base monthly of 10 dollars is added.

The cost of 260 kWh of energy consumption in July is 42 dollars

To determine the average cost per kWh for the month of July, divide the total cost by the total energy consumed.

That is, 42 / 260 = 0.1615 dollars

Convert it to cents by multiplying the result by 100.

0.1615 × 100 = 16.15 cents

Approximately 16.2 cents

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 10 MPa, 450°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit
8090 [49]

Answer:

a) The change in Kinetic energy, KE = -1.95 kJ

b) Power output, W = 10221.72 kW

c) Turbine inlet area, A_1 = 0.0044 m^2

Explanation:

a) Change in Kinetic Energy

For an adiabatic steady state flow of steam:

KE = \frac{V_2^2 - V_1^2}{2} \\.........(1)

Where Inlet velocity,  V₁ = 80 m/s

Outlet velocity, V₂ = 50 m/s

Substitute these values into equation (1)

KE = \frac{50^2 - 80^2}{2} \\

KE = -1950 m²/s²

To convert this to kJ/kg, divide by 1000

KE = -1950/1000

KE = -1.95 kJ/kg

b) The power output, w

The equation below is used to represent a  steady state flow.

q - w = h_2 - h_1 + KE + g(z_2 - z_1)

For an adiabatic process, the rate of heat transfer, q = 0

z₂ = z₁

The equation thus reduces to :

w = h₁ - h₂ - KE...........(2)

Where Power output, W = \dot{m}w..........(3)

Mass flow rate, \dot{m} = 12 kg/s

To get the specific enthalpy at the inlet, h₁

At P₁ = 10 MPa, T₁ = 450°C,

h₁ = 3242.4 kJ/kg,

Specific volume, v₁ = 0.029782 m³/kg

At P₂ = 10 kPa, h_f = 191.81 kJ/kg, h_{fg} = 2392.1 kJ/kg, x₂ = 0.92

specific enthalpy at the outlet, h₂ = h_1 + x_2 h_{fg}

h₂ = 3242.4 + 0.92(2392.1)

h₂ = 2392.54 kJ/kg

Substitute these values into equation (2)

w = 3242.4 - 2392.54 - (-1.95)

w = 851.81 kJ/kg

To get the power output, put the value of w into equation (3)

W = 12 * 851.81

W = 10221.72 kW

c) The turbine inlet area

A_1V_1 = \dot{m}v_1\\\\A_1 * 80 = 12 * 0.029782\\\\80A_1 = 0.357\\\\A_1 = 0.357/80\\\\A_1 = 0.0044 m^2
