Steam at 40 bar and 500o C enters the first-stage turbine with a volumetric flow rate of 90 m3 /min. Steam exits the turbine at

20 bar and 400o C. The steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 500o C before entering the second-stage turbine. Steam leaves the second stage as saturated vapor at 0.6 bar. For operation at steady state, and neglecting stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, determine (a) The mass flow rate of the steam (in kg/h). (b) The total power produced by the two stages of the turbine (in kW). (c) The rate of heat transfer to the steam flowing through the reheater (in kW)

Answer:

(a) 62460 kg/hr

(b) 17,572.95 kW

(c) 3,814.57 kW

Explanation:

Volumetric flow rate, G = 30 m³ / 1 min => 90 / 60 => 1.5

Calculate for h₁ , h₂ , h₃

h₁ is h at P = 40 bar, 500°C => 3445.84 KJ/Kg

Specific volume steam, ц = 0.086441 m³kg⁻¹

h₂ is h at P = 20 bar, 400°C => 3248.23 KJ/Kg

h₃ is h at P = 20 bar, 500°C => 3468.09 KJ/Kg

h₄ is hg at P = 0.6 bar from saturated water table => 2652.85 KJ/Kg

a)

Mass flow rate of the steam, m = G / ц

m = 1.5 / 0.086441

m = 17.35 kg/s

mass per hour is m = 62460 kg/hr

b)

Total Power produced by two stages

= m (h₁ - h₂) + m (h₃ - h₁)

= m [(3445.84 - 3248.23) + (3468.09 - 2652.85)]

= m [ 197.61 + 815.24 ]

= 17.35 [1012.85]

= 17,572.95 kW

c)

Rate of heat transfer to the steam through reheater

= m (h₃ - h₂)

= 17.35 x (3468.09 - 3248.23)

= 17.35 x 219.86

= 3,814.57 kW

The pressure gage on a 2.5-m^3 oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the amount of oxygen in the tank if the temperature is 28°C
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

19063.6051 g

Explanation:

Pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge Pressure

Atmospheric pressure = 97 kPa

Gauge pressure = 500 kPa

Total pressure = 500 + 97 kPa = 597 kPa

Also, P (kPa) = 1/101.325  P(atm)

Pressure = 5.89193 atm

Volume = 2.5 m³ = 2500 L ( As m³ = 1000 L)

Temperature = 28 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (28.2 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K  

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

5.89193 atm × 2500 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 301.15 K  

⇒n = 595.76 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 31.9988 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 595.76 * 31.9988 g = 19063.6051 g

List the main activities of exploration??
Trava [24]

Answer:  Exploration includes plethora of activities and depend upon the kind  of exploration a person is doing. But most include some of the basic activities like research , investigation, planning and execution.

Suppose we want to explore new petroleum sites then we would have to start with studying the geography of that area, then according to our research we will analyse the hot spots or the sector where probability of finding of oil field is highest, post that appropriate man power is skilled professionals, tools and machinery will be brought at the site so that execution can take place.

Indicate the correct statement about the effect of Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.

It is calculated as;

R_e__N} = \frac{\rho vd}{\mu}

where;

ρ is density

v is velocity

d is diameter

μ is viscosity

All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.

In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
