Answer:

(a) attached below

(b) pf_{C}=0.85 lagging

(c) I_{C} =32.37 A

(d) X_{C} =49.37 Ω

(e) I_{cap} =9.72 A and I_{line} =27.66 A

Explanation:

Given data:

P_{1}=15 kW

S_{2} =10 kVA

pf_{1} =0.6 lagging

pf_{2}=0.8 leading

V=480 Volts

(a) Draw the power triangle for each load and for the combined load.

\alpha_{1}=cos^{-1} (0.6)=53.13°

\alpha_{2}=cos^{-1} (0.8)=36.86°

S_{1}=P_{1} /pf_{1} =15/0.6=25 kVA

Q_{1}=P_{1} tan(\alpha_{1} )=15*tan(53.13)=19.99 ≅ 20kVAR

P_{2} =S_{2}*pf_{2} =10*0.8=8 kW

Q_{2} =P_{2} tan(\alpha_{2} )=8*tan(-36.86)=-5.99 ≅ -6 kVAR

The negative sign means that the load 2 is providing reactive power rather than consuming  

Then the combined load will be

P_{c} =P_{1} +P_{2} =15+8=23 kW

Q_{c} =Q_{1} +Q_{2} =20-6=14 kVAR

(b) Determine the power factor of the combined load and state whether lagging or leading.

S_{c} =P_{c} +jQ_{c} =23+14j

or in the polar form

S_{c} =26.92°

pf_{C}=cos(31.32) =0.85 lagging

The relationship between Apparent power S and Current I is

S=VI^{*}

Since there is conjugate of current I therefore, the angle will become negative and hence power factor will be lagging.

(c) Determine the magnitude of the line current from the source.

Current of the combined load can be found by

I_{C} =S_{C}/\sqrt{3}*V

I_{C} =26.92*10^3/\sqrt{3}*480=32.37 A

(d) Δ-connected capacitors are now installed in parallel with the combined load. What value of capacitive reactance is needed in each leg of the A to make the source power factor unity?Give your answer in Ω

Q_{C} =3*V^2/X_{C}

X_{C} =3*V^2/Q_{C}

X_{C} =3*(480)^2/14*10^3 Ω

(e) Compute the magnitude of the current in each capacitor and the line current from the source.

Current flowing in the capacitor is  

I_{cap} =V/X_{C} =480/49.37=9.72 A

Line current flowing from the source is

I_{line} =P_{C} /3*V=23*10^3/3*480=27.66 A

A reciprocating compressor takes a compresses it to 5 bar. Assuming that the compression is reversible and has an index, k, of 1
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e 424.8 K

Explanation:

given data

pressure p1 = 1 bar

pressure p2 = 5 bar

index k = 1.3

temperature t1 = 20°C = 293 k

to find out

final temperature  t2

solution

we have given compression is reversible and has an index k

so we can say temperature is

\frac{t2}{t1}= [\frac{p2}{p1}]^{\frac{k-1}{k} }  ...........1

put here all these value and we get t2

\frac{t2}{293}= [\frac{5}{1}]^{\frac{1.3-1}{1.3} }

t2 = 424.8

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e
