Answer explained below

Explanation:

3.] a] A turbine blade is the individual component which makes up the turbine section of a gas turbine. The blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the combustor.

The turbine blades are often the limiting component of gas turbines. To survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often use exotic materials like superalloys and many different methods of cooling, such as internal air channels, boundary layer cooling, and thermal barrier coatings. The blade fatigue failure is one of the major source of outages in any steam turbines and gas turbines which is due to high dynamic stresses caused by blade vibration and resonance within the operating range of machinery.

To protect blades from these high dynamic stresses, friction dampers are used.

b] Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are highly advanced materials systems usually applied to metallic surfaces, such as on gas turbine or aero-engine parts, operating at elevated temperatures, as a form ofexhaust heat management.

These 100μm to 2mm coatings serve to insulate components from large and prolonged heat loads by utilizing thermally insulating materials which can sustain an appreciable temperature difference between the load-bearing alloys and the coating surface.

In doing so, these coatings can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the thermal exposure of structural components, extending part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue.

In conjunction with active film cooling, TBCs permit working fluid temperatures higher than the melting point of the metal airfoil in some turbine applications.

Due to increasing demand for higher engine operation (efficiency increases at higher temperatures), better durability/lifetime, and thinner coatings to reduce parasitic weight for rotating/moving components, there is great motivation to develop new and advanced TBCs.

What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

E_6 + E_2 = E_3

flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y: y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

w_net = q_b - q_c

w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

u = 44.48 %
