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

A composite shaft with length L = 46 in is made by fitting an aluminum sleeve (Ga = 5 x 10^3 ksi) over a
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

L = 46 in

Ga = 5 × 10³ ksi

Gs = 11 × 10³ ksi

Outside diameter da = 5 in

ds = 4 in

Tb = 3 kip.in

Now,

Ja = polar moment of Inertia of Aluminum;

Ja ⇒ π/32( 5⁴ - 4⁴ ) = π/32( 625 - 256 ) = π/32( 369 ) in^u

Js = polar moment of inertia of steel

Js ⇒ π/32 ds⁴ = π/32( 4⁴ ) = π/32( 256 )

Ta is torque transmitted by Aluminum  

Ts is torque transmitted by steel  

{composite member }

T = Ta + Ts ------ let this be equation m1

Now, we use the relation;

T/J = G∅/L

JG∅ = TL

∅ = TL/GJ

so, for aluminum rod ∅_{alu = TaLa/GaJa

for steel rod ∅_{steel = TsLs/GsJs

but we know that, ∅a = ∅s = ∅_B

so

[TaLa/GaJa]  =  [TsLs/GsJs]

also, we know that, La = Ls = L

∴ [Ta/GaJa]  =  [Ts/GsJs]

we solve for Ta

TaGsJs = TsGaJa  

Ta = TsGaJa / GsJs

we substitute

Ta = [Ts(5 × 10³)( π/32( 369) )] / [ (11 × 10³)( π/32( 256 ) ) ]

Ta = 0.66Ts

now, we substitute 0.66Ts for Ta and 3 for T in equation 1

T = Ta + Ts

3 = 0.66Ts + Ts

3 = 1.66Ts

Ts = 3 / 1.66

Ts = 1.8072 ≈ 1.81 kip-in

so

∅_{steel = TsLs / GsJs

we substitute

∅_{steel = (1.81 × 46 ) / ( 11 × 10³ × π/32( 256 ) )

∅_{steel = 83.26 / 276460.1535

∅_{steel  = 0.000301

∅_{steel = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

so

∅_{steel = ∅_B = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

Therefore, the magnitude of the angle of twist at end B is 3.01 × 10⁻⁴  rad

Independent auto lots usually have ____ finance rates than dealerships
wel

Independent auto lots usually have <u>higher</u> finance rates than dealerships

<u>Explanation:</u>

The finance rates that are charged by the dealers are lower than the finance charges that are charged by the independent auto. In case if you are getting financed through dealerships, you can also negotiate with them to charge finance rates and lower the charges of the finance.

But this negotiation and lowering of the finance rates is not possible with the independent auto lots and thus they charge higher rates compared to the dealerships.

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
a_sh-v [17]

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
