A cylinder contains 480 cm3 of loose dry sand which weighs 820 g. Under a static load of 200 kPa the volume is reduced 1%, and t

hen by vibration it is reduced 10% of the original volume. Assume the solid density of sand grains is 2.65 Mg/m3 . Compute the void ratio, porosity, dry density, and total density corresponding to each of the following cases:__________.(a) Loose sand. (b) Under static load. (c) Vibrated and loaded sand.

Answer:

a.

b.

c.

Explanation:

a. void  ratio is provided by the formula: e = \frac{V_{p} }{V_{s}  }

   where , V_{p} = volume of voids

                V_{s} = volume of solid grains

for loose sand, the void space = \frac{480}{480}

                                                   = 1

b. void ratio after static load = 0.1/(480)/ (480)

                                               = 0.1

c. void ratio after vibration = [480- ( 0.1 * 480) ]/ 480

                                             = 0.9

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The cycle operates on the simple Rankine cycl
bogdanovich [222]

A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined

Assumptions :

1.  Steady operating conditions exist.

2.  Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

Properties:  The specific heat of geothermal water ( c_{geo}[) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.  

Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

a. Turbine

PP_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The  isentropic  efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4}  }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }

==\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788

b. Pump

h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} =  \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1})   }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\          = 273.01+5.81\\           = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.}  (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\

W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.}  w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.}  _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.}  _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\

c. The thermal efficiency of the cycle  n_{th}  =\frac{W^{.} _{net} }{Q^{._{in} } } \\\\= \frac{20,166}{162,656} \\=0.124\\=12.4%

satela [25.4K]

Answer:A. No one has ever beat Nancy.

Explanation:

The dormain of discourse in a simple language is the set of entities upon which our discussions are based when discussing about something.

The dormain of discourse is also known simply as universe, can also be said to be a set of entities o

upon which certain variables of interest in some formal treatment may range.

The dormain of discourse is generally attributed to Augustus De Morgan, it was also extensively used by George Boole in his Laws of Thought.

THE LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE THE QUESTION IS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER BEAT NANCY.

What is the resultant force on one side of a 25cm diameter circular plate standing at the bottom of 3m of pool water?
Tom [10]

Answer:

F=1.47 KN

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of plate = 25 cm

Height of pool h = 3 m

We know that force can be given as

F= P x A

P=ρ x g x h

Now by putting the values

P=1000 x 10 x 3

P= 30 KPa

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.25^2\ m^2

A=0.049\ m^2

F= 30 x 0.049 KN

F=1.47 KN

So the force on the plate will be 1.47 KN.

marysya [2.9K]
In places with cold winters, space heating systems have a fundamental role in buildings. Without them, indoor temperatures would quickly become unsuitable for human occupancy. The local weather is one of the most important factors when designing a heating system; if two identical buildings are developed in Miami FL and New York City, the heating load will be much higher for the NYC property.
