Answer:

The corresponding heat rate of the power cycle is  9749 BTU/kWh

Explanation:

Heat rate is the common measure of system efficiency in a steam power plant. It is defined as "the energy input to a system, typically in Btu/kWh, divided by the electricity generated, in kW."

Heat rate (BTU/kWh) = (Input Energy. Btu/hr)/(output power. kW)

Given;

Electrical energy output of gas turbine power plant = 5 MW = 5000 KW

Chemical energy input of the turbine = ?

Also, Efficiency = output power/input power

Given, efficiency = 35% = 0.35

0.35 = 5000 kW/input power

Input Power (kW) = 5000/0.35

Input Power (kW) = 14,285.7 KW

1 KW = 3412.142 BTU/hr

14,285.7 KW =   48,744,836.97 BTU/hr

Heat rate (BTU/kWh) = (Input Energy. Btu/hr)/(output power. kW)

Heat rate (BTU/kWh) = (48,744,836.97 BTU/hr)/(5000 KW)

Heat rate (BTU/kWh) = 9748.97 BTU/kWh = 9749 BTU/kWh

Therefore, the corresponding heat rate of the power cycle is  9749 BTU/kWh

Consider fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe. If the viscosity of the fluid is reduced by half by heating while the
gladu [14]

Answer:

The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.

Explanation:

For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.

Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)

where Q = volumetric flowrate

ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe

μ = fluid viscosity

L = pipe length

If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe

ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (ΔP/μ)

So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).

μ₁ = (μ/2)

The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then

ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)

Recall,

K = (ΔP/μ)

ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)

Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Hope this Helps!!!

A cylindrical brass rod has a length of 5.00cm extending from a holder and a diameter of 4.50mm. Its Young's modulus is 98.0GPa.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Explanation:

given data

length = 5 cm = 50 mm

diameter = 4.50 mm

Young's modulus = 98.0 GPa

load = 610 N

to find out

what will be the elongation of the brass rod in mm

solution

we know here change in length formula that is express as

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}    ................1

here δ is change in length and P is applied load  and A id cross section area and E is Young's modulus and L is length

so all value in equation 1

δ = \frac{PL}{AE}  

δ = \frac{610*50}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 4.50^2 * 98*10^3}  

δ = 0.01956 mm

so elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Briefly explain how a jet moves
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast. All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. ... Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.
