An air compressor compresses 15 L/s of air at 120 kPa and 20°C to 800 kPa and 300°C while consuming 6.2 kW of power. How much of

this power is being used to increase the pressure of the air versus the power needed to move the fluid through the compressor?

Gas constant R = 0.287 kPa.m^3/kg.K

Specific volume of the air at the compressor inlet is:

v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\ v_1=\frac{0.287\times 293}{120} =0.7008 m^3/kg

The air mass flow rate:

\dot m=\frac{\dot V_1}{v_1}\\ \dot m = \frac{15\times 10^{-3}}{0.7008} = 0.0214 kg/s

The flow work:

\dot W_{flow}=\dot m R(T_2-T_1)\\ \dot W = 0.0214\times 0.287 \times 280=1.72 kW

Power used to increase the air pressure:

\dot W_p=\dot W_{in}-\dot W_{flow}=6.2-1.72 =4.48 kW

A power plant running at 39 % efficiency generates 330 MW of electric power. Part A At what rate (in MW) is heat energy exhauste
marusya05 [52]

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

By definition of energy efficiency, we derive an expression for the energy rate exhausted to the river (Q_{out}), in megawatts:

Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{\eta}-1 \right)\cdot W(1)

Where:

  • \eta - Efficiency.
  • W - Electric power, in megawatts.

If we know that \eta = 0.39 and W = 330\,MW, then the energy rate exhausted to the river is:

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{0.39}-1 \right)\cdot (330\,MW)

Q_{out} = 516.154\,MW

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

Help me to solve it . It’s urgent
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 0°

Explanation:

Step 1: Squaring the given equation and simplifying it

Let θ be the angle between a and b.

Given: a+b=c

Squaring on both sides:

... (a+b) . (a+b) = c.c

> |a|² + |b|² + 2(a.b) = |c|²

> |a|² + |b|² + 2|a| |b| cos 0 = |c|²

a.b = |a| |b| cos 0]

We are also given;

|a+|b| = |c|

Squaring above equation

> |a|² + |b|² + 2|a| |b| = |c|²

Step 2: Comparing the equations:

Comparing eq( insert: small n)(1) and (2)

We get, cos 0 = 1

> 0 = 0°

Final answer: 0°

A particle oscillates in simple harmonic motion, with amplitude A and period T. The particle starts from position x = A. What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

i guess it is D because,

y = A sin(wt)

w = \frac{2\pi }{T} and t = 3T/ 2

now, Y = A sin ( \frac{2\pi }{T} X \frac{3T}{2})

so, Y = 0radian
