Answer: π= G[√(u.V/W)]

STEP 1

Given parameters:

Power Input W= FL/T,

Absolute Viscosity u= FT/L²

Basin volume V= V/L³

Velocity gradient G= V/L³

STEP 2

We start by expressing the velocity gradient G as a function of W, u, V

G= G(W,u,V)

To get the pii terms, we use the dimension number formula n=k - r

where n and k are natural numbers representing number of fundamental dimensions and variable present respectively.

n= 4-3=1

STEP 3:

We expressed the pii terms as

π= G.W^a.u^b.V^c

The three fundamental F L T

We can write as

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= 1/T. (FL/T)^a.(FT/L²)^b.(L³)

Using the exponential rule and by comparing coefficient on both sides;

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= F^a+b. L^a-2b+3c. T^-a+b-1

Fⁿ= F^a+b = a+b= 0..............I

Lⁿ= L^a-2b+3c=0 = a-2b+3c=0...........ii

Tⁿ=L^-a+b-1=0. -a+b-1=0............iii

From the above equations we have,

a+b =0: b=-a...........iv

putting eq. iv into iii , we have

-a-a-1=0: -2a-1=0: a= -1/2

substituting the above value of a into eq iv, we have

b= 1/2

substituting the value of b above into eq 2, we have,

-1/2-2(1/2)+3c=0

c=1/2.

Lastly, from the pii terms given above we can obtain dimensionless relationship,

π=G(W^-1/2.u^1/2.V^1/2)

We can write this as

π= G[ √1/W.√u. √1/2] = G[(√u.V/√W)] or G[√(u.V/W)].... final answer.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 8 MPa and 500C with a mass flow rate of 3
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)temperature=69.1C

b)3054Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below, the complete procedure is in the attached image

1. draw a complete outline of the problem

2. to find the temperature at the turbine exit  use termodinamic tables to find the saturation temperature at 30kPa

note=Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

3. Using thermodynamic tables find the enthalpy and entropy at the turbine inlet, then find the ideal enthalpy using the entropy of state 1 and the outlet pressure = 30kPa

4. The efficiency of the turbine is defined as the ratio between the real power and the ideal power, with this we find the real enthalpy.

Note: Remember that for a turbine with a single input and output, the power is calculated as the product of the mass flow and the difference in enthalpies.

5. Find the real power of the turbine

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
Gennadij [26K]

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.

Isormophous phase diagram
shusha [124]

Answer:

Phase diagrams represent the relationship between temperature and the composition of phases present at equilibrium. An isomorphous system is one in which the solid has the same structure for all compositions. The phase diagram shown is the diagram for Cu-Ni, which is an isomorphous alloy system.

Hope it help you friend
