Answer:

a) Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b) V_1 = V_2 = (16/3) * 10^2 V

c) E = 64/15 J

d) dE = 32/15 J of decrease

Explanation:

Given:

- Capacitor 1, C_1 = 20.0 uF

- Capacitor 2, C_2 = 10.0 uF

- Charged with P.d V = 800 V

Find:

a) the original charge of the system,

(b) the ﬁnal potential difference across each capacitor

(c) the ﬁnal energy of the system

(d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Solution:

a)

- The initial charge in the circuit is the one carried by the first charged capacitor.

Q_initial = C_1*V

Q_initial = 20*10^-6 * 800

Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b)

- After charging the other capacitor, we know that the total charge is conserved among two capacitor:

Q_initial = Q_1 + Q_2

- We also know that potential difference across two capacitor is also same.

V_1 = V_2 = Q_1 / C_1 = Q_2 / C_2

- Using the two equations and solve for charge Q_2:

Q_2 = Q_1*C_2/C_1

Q_2 = Q_1*10/20 = 0.5*Q_1

- using conservation of charge:

Q_initial = 1.5*Q_1

Q_1 = 16*10^-3 / 1.5 = 10.67*10^-3 C

- Hence the Voltage across each capacitor is:

V_2 = V_1 = Q_1 / C_1

= 10.67*10^-3 / 20*10^-6

= (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)

- The energy in the system is:

E = 0.5*C_eq*V^2

Where, C_eq is the equivalent capacitance of paralle circuit.

E = 0.5*(20+10)*10^-6 *((16/3) * 10^2)^2

E = 64/15 J

d)

- The decrease in energy of the capacitors is:

dE = E_initial - E_final

Where, E_initial is due to charging of the C_1 only:

dE = 0.5*10^-6*20*800^2 - (64/15)

dE = 32/5 - 64/15 = 32/15 J

Oil (SAE 30) at 15.6 oC flows steadily between fixed, horizontal, parallel plates. The pressure drop per unit length along the c

Nitella [24]

Answer:

(a) The volume rate of flow per meter width = 5.6*10⁻³ m²/s

(b) The shear stress acting on the bottom plate = 157.5 N/m²

(c) The velocity along the centerline of the channel = 0.93 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

Calculating the distance of plate from centre line using the formula;

h = d/2

where h = distance of plate

d = diameter of flow = 9 mm

Substituting, we have;

h = 9/2

= 4.5 mm = 4.5*10^-3 m

Calculating the volume flow rate using the formula;

Q = (2h³/3μ)* (Δp/L)

Where;

Q = volume flow rate

h = distance of plate = 4.5*10^-3 m

μ = dynamic viscosity = 0.38 N.s/m²

(Δp/L) = Pressure drop per unit length = 35 kPa/m = 35000 Pa

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = (2*0.0045³/3*0.38) *(35000)

= (1.8225*10⁻⁷/1.14) * (35000)

= 1.60*10⁻⁷ * 35000

= 5.6*10⁻³ m²/s

Therefore, the volume flow rate = 5.6*10⁻³ m³/s

(b) Calculating the shear stress acting at the bottom plate using the formula;

τ = h*(Δp/L)

= 0.0045* 35000

= 157.5 N/m²

(c) Calculating the velocity along the centre of the channel using the formula;

u(max) = h²/2μ)* (Δp/L)

= (0.0045²/2*0.38) * 35000

=2.664*10⁻⁵ *35000

= 0.93 m/s

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 10 MPa, 450°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit

8090 [49]

Answer:

a) The change in Kinetic energy, KE = -1.95 kJ

b) Power output, W = 10221.72 kW

c) Turbine inlet area, $A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$

Explanation:

a) Change in Kinetic Energy

For an adiabatic steady state flow of steam:

$KE = \frac{V_2^2 - V_1^2}{2} \\$ .........(1)

Where Inlet velocity, V₁ = 80 m/s

Outlet velocity, V₂ = 50 m/s

Substitute these values into equation (1)

$KE = \frac{50^2 - 80^2}{2} \\$

KE = -1950 m²/s²

To convert this to kJ/kg, divide by 1000

KE = -1950/1000

KE = -1.95 kJ/kg

b) The power output, w

The equation below is used to represent a steady state flow.

$q - w = h_2 - h_1 + KE + g(z_2 - z_1)$

For an adiabatic process, the rate of heat transfer, q = 0

z₂ = z₁

The equation thus reduces to :

w = h₁ - h₂ - KE...........(2)

Where Power output, $W = \dot{m}w$ ..........(3)

Mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 12 kg/s$

To get the specific enthalpy at the inlet, h₁

At P₁ = 10 MPa, T₁ = 450°C,

h₁ = 3242.4 kJ/kg,

Specific volume, v₁ = 0.029782 m³/kg

At P₂ = 10 kPa, $h_f = 191.81 kJ/kg, h_{fg} = 2392.1 kJ/kg$ , x₂ = 0.92

specific enthalpy at the outlet, h₂ = $h_1 + x_2 h_{fg}$

h₂ = 3242.4 + 0.92(2392.1)

h₂ = 2392.54 kJ/kg

Substitute these values into equation (2)

w = 3242.4 - 2392.54 - (-1.95)

w = 851.81 kJ/kg

To get the power output, put the value of w into equation (3)

W = 12 * 851.81

W = 10221.72 kW

c) The turbine inlet area

$A_1V_1 = \dot{m}v_1\\\\A_1 * 80 = 12 * 0.029782\\\\80A_1 = 0.357\\\\A_1 = 0.357/80\\\\A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$
