The enthalpy of the water entering an actual pump is 500 kJ/kg and the enthalpy of the water leaving it is 550 kJ/kg. The pump h

Answer:500,551.02

Explanation:

Given

Initial enthaly of pump \left ( h_1\right )=500KJ/kg

Final enthaly of pump \left ( h_2\right )=550KJ/kg

Final enthaly of pump when efficiency is 100%= $h_2^{'}$

Now pump efficiency is 98%

$\eta$ = $\frac{h_2-h_1}{h_2^{'}-h_1}$

0.98= $\frac{550-500}{h_2-500}$

$h_2=551.02KJ/kg$

therefore initial and final enthalpy of pump for 100 % efficiency

initial=500KJ/kg

Final=551.02KJ/kg

I am trying to create a line of code to calculate distance between two points. (distance=[tex]\sqrt{ (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}) My li

k0ka [10]

Answer:

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Explanation:

The distance formula is the difference of the x coordinates squared, plus the difference of the y coordinates squared, all square rooted. For the general case, it appears you simply need to change how you have written the code.

point_dist = math.sqrt((math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) + math.pow(y2 - y1, 2))

Note, by moving the 2 inside of the pow function, you have provided the second argument that it is requesting.

You were close with your initial attempt, you just had a parenthesis after x1 and y1 when you should not have.

Cheers.

Water vapor at 6 MPa, 600 degrees C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 10kPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Obtain the following properties at 6MPa and 600°C from the table "Superheated water".

$h_1=3658.8KL/Kg\\s_1=7.1693kJ/kg.k$

Obtain the following properties at 10kPa from the table "saturated water"

$h_{f2}=191.81KJ/Kg.K\\h_{fg2}=2392.1KJ/Kg\\s_{f2}=0.6492KJ/Kg.K\\s_{fg2}=7.4996KJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the enthalpy at exit of the turbine using the energy balance equation.

$\frac{dE}{dt}=Q-W+m(h_1-h_2)$

Since, the process is isentropic process $Q=0$

$0=0-W+m(h_1-h_2)\\h_2=h_1-\frac{W}{m}\\\\h_2=3658.8-\frac{2626}{2}\\\\=2345.8kJ/kg$

Use the isentropic relations:

$s_1=s_{2s}\\s_1=s_{f2}+x_{2s}s_{fg2}\\7.1693=6492+x_{2s}(7.4996)\\x_{2s}=87$

Calculate the enthalpy at isentropic state 2s.

$h_{2s}=h_{f2}+x_{2s}.h_{fg2}\\=191.81+0.87(2392.1)\\=2272.937kJ/kg$

a.)

Calculate the isentropic turbine efficiency.

$\eta_{turbine}=\frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\=\frac{3658.8-2345.8}{3658.8-2272.937}=0.947=94.7%$

b.)

Find the quality of the water at state 2

since $h_f$ at 10KPa < $h_2$ < $h_g$ at 10KPa

Therefore, state 2 is in two-phase region.

$h_2=h_{f2}+x_2(h_{fg2})\\2345.8=191.81+x_2(2392.1)\\x_2=0.9$

Calculate the entropy at state 2.

$s_2=s_{f2}+x_2.s_{fg2}\\=0.6492+0.9(7.4996)\\=7.398kJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the rate of entropy production.

$S=\frac{Q}{T}+m(s_2-s_1)$

since, Q = 0

$S=m(s_2-s_1)\\=2\frac{kg}{s}(7.398-7.1693)kJ/kg\\=0.4574kW/k$
