Air is used as the working fluid in a simple ideal Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 12, a compressor inlet temperature

of 300 K, and a turbine inlet temperature of 1000 K. The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4. Determine the required mass flow rate of air for a net power output of 70 MW, assuming both the compressor and the turbine have an isentropic efficiency of: a. 100 percent b. 85 percent.

Answer:

A) m' = 351.49 kg/s

B) m'= 1036.91 kg/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Pressure Ratio;r_p = 12

Inlet temperature of compressor;T1 = 300 K

Inlet temperature of turbine;T3 = 1000 K

cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K

k = 1.4

Net power output; W' = 70 MW = 70000 KW

A) Now, the formula for the mass flow rate using the total power output of the compressor and turbine is given as;

m' = W'/[cp(T3(1 - r_p^(-(k - 1)/k)) - T1(r_p^((k - 1)/k))

At, 100% efficiency, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

m' = 70000/(1.005(1000(1 - 12^(-(1.4 - 1)/1.4)) - 300(12^((1.4 - 1)/1.4)))

m' = 70000/199.1508

m' = 351.49 kg/s

B) At 85% efficiency, the formula will now be;

m' = W'/[cp(ηT3(1 - r_p^(-(k - 1)/k)) - (T1/η) (r_p^((k - 1)/k))

Where η is efficiency = 0.85

Thus;

m' = 70000/(1.005(0.85*1000(1 - 12^(-(1.4 - 1)/1.4)) - (300/0.85)(12^((1.4 - 1)/1.4)))

m' = 70000/(1.005*(432.09129 - 364.9189)

m'= 1036.91 kg/s

The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï  7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1
kirill115 [55]

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.

Resistance to impact is an example of a(n)
Anika [276]

Answer:

Mechanical property

Explanation:

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES can be defined as the ability of a metal or material to remain undamaged after different type of forces has been applied or used on them because forces or loads are often applied to metal, material or physical properties which is why MECHANICAL PROPERTIES enables us to know the strength , toughness as well as the hardness of metal and the way this metal perform or react when different forces are applied on them.

Lastly any metal, material or physical properties that has the strength , hardness and resistance to withstand or remain unaffected despite the loads or forces use on them is an example of MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

Therefore Resistance to impact is an example of a(n) MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

You find an unnamed fluid in the lab we will call Fluid A. Fluid A has a specific gravity of 1.65 and a dynamic viscosity of 210
Naily [24]

Answer:

1.2727 stokes

Explanation:

specific gravity of fluid A = 1.65

Dynamic viscosity = 210 centipoise

<u>Calculate the kinematic viscosity of Fluid A </u>

First step : determine the density of fluid A

Pa = Pw * Specific gravity =  1000 * 1.65 = 1650 kg/m^3

next : convert dynamic viscosity to kg/m-s

210 centipoise = 0.21 kg/m-s

Kinetic viscosity of Fluid A = dynamic viscosity / density of fluid A

                                            = 0.21 / 1650 = 1.2727 * 10^-4 m^2/sec

Convert to stokes = 1.2727 stokes
