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

Blababa [14]

Answer:

(a) Precipitation hardening

(1) The strengthening mechanism involves the hindering of dislocation motion by precipitates/particles.

(2) The hardening/strengthening effect is not retained at elevated temperatures for this process.

(4) The strength is developed by a heat treatment.  

(b) Dispersion strengthening

(1) The strengthening mechanism involves the hindering of dislocation motion by precipitates/particles.  

(3) The hardening/strengthening effect is retained at elevated temperatures for this process.

(5) The strength is developed without a heat treatment.

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and
shutvik [7]

The number of trays that should be prepared if the owner wants a service level of at least 95% is; 7 trays

<h3>How to utilize z-score statistics?</h3>

We are given;

Mean; μ = 15

Standard Deviation; σ = 5

We are told that the distribution of demand score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula for z-score is;

z = (x' - μ)/σ

We want to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95;

P(X > x) = P(z > (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

⇒ 1 -  P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

Thus;

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 1 - 0.95

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.05

The value of z from the z-table of 0.05 is -1.645

Thus;

(x - 15)/5 = -1.645

x ≈ 7

Complete Question is;

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and standard deviation of 5 trays. If the owner wants a service level of at least 95%, how many trays should he prepare (rounded to the nearest whole tray)? Assume doughnuts have no salvage value after the day is complete. 6 5 4 7 unable to determine with the above information.

According to the amortization table, Demarco and Tanya will pay a total of in interest over the life of their loan.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(Interest rate/number of payments)*$170000= interest for the first month.

Interest amounts for all the months of repayment plus $170000=Total loan cost

Explanation:

Interest is the amount you pay for taking a loan from a bank on top of the original amount borrowed.

Factors affecting how much interest is paid are; the principal amount, the loan terms, repayment schedule, the repayment amount and the rate of interest.

The interest paid=(rate of interest/number of payments to make)*principal amount borrowed.

You divide the interest with number of payments done in a year where monthly are divided by 12.Multiplying it by loan balance in the first month which is your principal amount gives the interest rate to pay for that month.

You new loan balance will be= Principal -(repayment-interest)

Do this for the period the loan should take.

Add all the interest amount to original borrowed amount to get total cost of the loan after the period of time.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

# kelvin_to_celsius function is defined

# it has value_kelvin as argument

def kelvin_to_celsius(value_kelvin):

   # value_celsius is initialized to 0.0

   value_celsius = 0.0

   

   # value_celsius is calculated by

   # subtracting 273.15 from value_kelvin

   value_celsius = value_kelvin - 273.15

   # value_celsius is returned

   return value_celsius

   

# celsius_to_kelvin function is defined

def celsius_to_kelvin(value_celsius):

   # value_kelvin is initialized to 0.0

   value_kelvin = 0.0

   

   # value_kelvin is calculated by

   # adding 273.15 to value_celsius

   # value_kelvin is returned

   return value_kelvin

   

value_c = 0.0

value_k = 0.0

value_c = 10.0

# value_c = 10.0 is used to test the function celsius_to_kelvin

# the result is displayed

print(value_c, 'C is', celsius_to_kelvin(value_c), 'K')

value_k = 283.15

# value_k = 283.15 is used to test the function kelvin_to_celsius

# the result is displayed

print(value_k, 'is', kelvin_to_celsius(value_k), 'C')
