Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine the speed of the reaction.

Speed of the reaction is defined as the rate at which one component is changes to another component. With factor cannot be calculated from the thermodynamics branch of engineering.

With thermodynamics we can determine the value of the equilibrium constant,

the extent of a reaction, the temperature at which a reaction will be spontaneous & the direction of a spontaneous reaction. But we cannot determine the speed of a reaction.

Therefore option B is correct.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 764.45K

b) 210.48 kJ/kg

c) 30.14%

Explanation:

pressure ratio = 10

minimum temperature = 295 k

maximum temperature = 1240 k

isentropic efficiency for compressor = 83%

Isentropic efficiency for turbine = 87%

a) Air temperature at turbine exit

we can achieve this by interpolating for enthalpy

h4 = 783.05 kJ/kg ( calculated in the background ) at state 4 using Table A-17 for Ideal gas properties of air

T4 ( temperature at Turbine exit ) = 760 + ( 780 - 760 ) $(\frac{783.05-778.18}{800.13-778.18} )$ = 764.45K

b) The net work output

first we determine the actual work input to compressor

Wc = h2 - h1 ( calculated values )

= 626.57 - 295.17 = 331.4 kJ/kg

next determine the actual work done by Turbine

Wt = h3 - h4 ( calculated values )

= 1324.93 - 783.05 = 541.88 kJ/kg

finally determine the network output of the cycle

Wnet = Wt - Wc

= 541.88 - 331.4 = 210.48 kJ/kg

c) determine thermal efficiency

лth = Wnet / qin ------ ( 1 )

where ; qin = h3 - h2

equation 1 becomes

лth = Wnet / ( h3 - h2 )

= 210.48 / ( 1324.93 - 626.57 )

= 0.3014 = 30.14%

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Iron is manufactured in a blast furnace. First, iron ore is mixed with coke and heated to form an iron-rich clinker called 'sinter'. Sintering is an important part of the overall process as it reduces waste and provides an efficient raw material for iron making. Coke is produced from carefully selected grades of coal.

Copper is typically extracted from oxide and sulfide ores that contain between 0.5 and 2.0% copper. ... Regardless of the ore type, mined copper ore must first be concentrated to remove gangue or unwanted materials embedded in the ore. The first step in this process is crushing and powdering ore in a ball or rod mill.
