Answer:

$w_{out}=319.1\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the inlet stream, from the steam table, the specific enthalpy and entropy are:

$h_1=1456.0\frac{BTU}{lbm} \ \ \ s_1=1.6413\frac{BTU}{lbm*R}$

Next, for the liquid-vapor mixture at the outlet stream we need to compute its quality by taking into account that since the turbine is adiabatic, the entropy remains the same:

$s_2=s_1$

Thus, the liquid and liquid-vapor entropies are included to compute the quality:

$x_2=\frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}}=\frac{1.6313-0.39213}{1.28448}=0.965$

Next, we compute the outlet enthalpy by considering the liquid and liquid-vapor enthalpies:

$h_2=h_f+x_2h_f_g=236.14+0.965*933.69=1136.9\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Then, by using the first law of thermodynamics, the maximum specific work is computed via:

$h_1=w_{out}+h_2\\\\w_{out}=h_1-h_2=1456.0\frac{BTU}{lbm}-1136.9\frac{BTU}{lbm}\\\\w_{out}=319.1\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Best regards.

In successive an object moves from start position, then moves 1ft, 4ft and 8ft. This is an example of a. non-uniform motion b. u

Nikolay [14]

Answer:Non-uniform motion

Explanation:

This is an example of Non-uniform motion because unequal distance traveled by an object in equal interval of time is termed as Non-Uniform motion and here also the distance traveled by object is 1 ft ,4 ft and 8 ft which is different from each other.

In Uniform motion distance traveled is equal in equal interval of time .

An insulated mixing chamber receives 0.5 kg/s of steam at 3 MPa and 300°C through one inlet, and saturated liquid water at 3 MPa

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$\dot m_{2} = 0.199\,\frac{kg}{s}$

Explanation:

The mixing chamber can be modelled by applying the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$\dot W_{in}+\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1} +\dot m_{2} \cdot h_{2} - \dot m_{3}\cdot h_{3} = 0$

Since that mass flow rate of water at inlet 1 is the only known variable, the expression has to be simplified like this:

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} + h_{1}+ y\cdot h_{2} - z\cdot h_{3} = 0$

Besides, the following expression derived from the Principle of Mass Conservation is presented below:

$1 + y = z$

Then, the expression is simplified afterwards:

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} + h_{1}+ y\cdot h_{2} - (1+y)\cdot h_{3} = 0$

$\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}} +h_{1} - h_{3} + y\cdot (h_{2}-h_{3}) = 0$

Specific enthalpies are obtained from steam tables and described as follows:

State 1 (Superheated vapor)

$h = 2994.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 2 (Saturated liquid)

$h = 1008.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

State 3 (Liquid-Vapor mixture)

$h = 2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The ratio of the stream at state 2 to the stream at state 1 is:

$y = \frac{\frac{\dot W_{in}}{\dot m_{1}}+h_{1}-h_{3}}{h_{3}-h_{2}}$

$y = \frac{\frac{10\,kW}{0.5\,\frac{kg}{s} }+2994.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{2444.22\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-1008.3\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }$

$y = 0.397$

The mass flow rate of the saturated liquid is:

$\dot m_{2} = y\cdot \dot m_{1}$

$\dot m_{2} = 0.397\cdot (0.5\,\frac{kg}{s} )$

$\dot m_{2} = 0.199\,\frac{kg}{s}$
