Why does the auto industry prefer uniform (national) standards for automobile emissions as opposed to regionally varying standar

ds? Are uniform standards beneficial to everyone?

Answer:

Explanation:

For automobile emission, a uniform standard is preferred, because no unnecessary advantage is given by it to any company that is located in particular states where the regional standards are less severe.

Since pollution has its impact across the states and in the whole of the USA, then there should be uniform standards across all the states. It will also invalidate the impact of regional standards as a factor in the selection of plant locations for the automobile company. It means that a state offering less valid emission standards, will attract more companies to herself and it will be against the other states who care more about the natural environment. It can make more states to opt for the permissive emission standards, that will be more harmful to the USA as a country, than the good. So, a uniform standard is preferred to eliminate it as a factor in plant location decisions.

Yes, uniform standards are beneficial to everyone, because it will bring effective control upon the pollution level because there will be no state where the culprit firm can hide. Besides, it is more effective as efforts done towards environment conservation.

Air enters an adiabatic gas turbine at 1590 oF, 40 psia and leaves at 15 psia. The turbine efficiency is 80%, and the mass flow
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a) 158.4 HP.

b) 1235.6 °F.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to set up an energy balance for the turbine's inlets and outlets:

m_{in}h_{in}=W_{out}+m_{out}h_{out}

Whereas the mass flow is just the same, which means we have:

W_{out}=m_{out}(h_{out}-h_{in})

And the enthalpy and entropy of the inlet stream is obtained from steam tables:

h_{in}=1860.7BTU/lbm\\\\s_{in}= 2.2096BTU/lbm-R

Now, since we assume the 80% accounts for the isentropic efficiency for this adiabatic gas turbine, we assume the entropy is constant so that:

s_{out}= 2.2096BTU/lbm-R

Which means we can find the temperature at which this entropy is exhibited at 15 psia, which gives values of temperature of 1200 °F (s=2.1986 BTU/lbm-K) and 1400 °F (s=2.2604 BTU/lbm-K), and thus, we interpolate for s=2.2096 to obtain a temperature of 1235.6 °F.

Moreover, the enthalpy at the turbine's outlet can be also interpolated by knowing that at 1200 °F h=1639.8 BTU/lbm and at 1400 °F h=174.5 BTU/lbm, to obtain:

h_{out}=1659.15BUT/lbm

Then, the isentropic work (negative due to convention) is:

W_{out}=2500lbm/h(1659.15BUT/lbm-1860.7BUT/lbm)\\\\W_{out}=-503,875BTU

And the real produced work is:

W_{real}=0.8*-503875BTU\\\\W_{real}=-403100BTU

Finally, in horsepower:

W_{real}=-403100BTU/hr*\frac{1HP}{2544.4336BTU/hr} \\\\W_{real}=158.4HP

Regards!
