A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea

t transfer to the river water. Will the actual heat transfer rate be higher or lower than this value?

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

You are about to perform PMCS on your M1114? What resource should you use for the procedures and instructions for performing PMC
aniked [119]

The resources and instructions that should be used for the procedures of performing PMCS are:

  1. Operator's manuals
  2. Safety cautions and warnings.
  3. Fording kit
  4. Heating and cooling systems.

<h3>What is PMCS?</h3>

PMCS is an acronym for preventive maintenance checks and services and it can be defined as the maintenance, checks, and services that are typically performed before, during, and after the use of any type of military equipment such as:

  • M1114
  • M1151
  • M1123

Basically, the resources and instructions that should be used for the procedures of performing PMCS are:

  1. Operator's manuals
  2. Safety cautions and warnings.
  3. Fording kit
  4. Heating and cooling systems.

Using a forked rod, a 0.5-kg smooth peg P is forced to move along the vertical slotted path r = (0.5 θ) m, whereθ is in radians.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

N_c = 3.03 N

F = 1.81 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The attachment missing from the question is given:

- The given expressions for the radial and θ direction of motion:

                                       r = 0.5*θ

                                       θ = 0.5*t^2              ...... (correction for the question)

- Mass of peg m = 0.5 kg

Find:

a) Determine the magnitude of the force of the rod on the peg at the instant t = 2 s.

b) Determine the magnitude of the normal force of the slot on the peg.

Solution:

- Determine the expressions for radial kinematics:

                                        dr/dt = 0.5*dθ/dt

                                        d^2r/dt^2 = 0.5*d^2θ/dt^2

- Similarly the expressions for θ direction kinematics:

                                        dθ/dt = t

                                        d^2θ/dt^2 = 1

- Evaluate each at time t = 2 s.

                                        θ = 0.5*t^2 = 0.5*2^2 = 2 rad -----> 114.59°

                                        r = 1 m , dr / dt = 1 m/s , d^2 r / dt^2 = 0.5 m/s^2

- Evaluate the angle ψ between radial and horizontal direction:

                                        tan Ψ = r / (dr/dθ) = 1 / 0.5

                                        Ψ = 63.43°

- Develop a free body diagram (attached) and the compute the radial and θ acceleration:

                                        a_r = d^2r / dt^2 - r * dθ/dt

                                        a_r = 0.5 - 1*(2)^2 = -3.5 m/s^2

                                        a_θ =  r * (d^2θ/dt^2) + 2 * (dr/dt) * (dθ/dt)

                                        a_θ = 1(1) + 2*(1)*(2) = 5 m/s^2

- Using Newton's Second Law of motion to construct equations in both radial and θ directions as follows:

Radial direction:              N_c * cos(26.57) - W*cos(24.59) = m*a_r

θ direction:                      F  - N_c * sin(26.57) + W*sin(24.59) = m*a_θ

Where, F is the force on the peg by rod and N_c is the normal force on peg by the slot. W is the weight of the peg. Using radial equation:

                                       N_c * cos(26.57) - 4.905*cos(24.59) = 0.5*-3.5

                                       N_c = 3.03 N

                                       F  - 3.03 * sin(26.57) + 4.905*sin(24.59) = 0.5*5

                                       F = 1.81 N

When a retaining structure moves towards the soil backfill, the stress condition is called:__________.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

(C) passive state.

Explanation:

The earth pressure is the pressure exerted by the soil on the shoring system. They are three types of earth pressure which are:

a) Rest state: In this state, the retaining wall is stationary, this makes the lateral stress to be zero.

b) Active state: In this state, the wall moves away from the back fill, this leads to an internal resistance. Hence the active earth pressure is less than earth pressure at rest

c) Passive state: In this state the wall is pushed towards the back fill, this leads to shearing resistance. Hence, the passive earth pressure is greater than earth pressure at rest
