If the efficiency of the boiler is 91.2 % , the overall efficiency of the turbine, which includes the Carnot efficiency and its

mechanical efficiency, is 46.9 % , and the efficiency of the generator is 98.4 %, what is the efficiency of the total generating unit? (Another 5.0 % needs to be subtracted for other plant losses.)

Answer:

Net efficiency of generating unit = 42.08 - 5 = 37.08 %

Explanation:

We have given that efficiency of the boiler = 91.2 % = 0.912

Carnot efficiency = 46.9 % = 0.469

Efficiency of generator = 98.4% =0.984

We have to find the efficiency of total generating unit

For finding the efficiency of total generating unit we have to multiply all the efficiencies

So efficiency of generating unit = 0.912×0.469×0.984 = 0.4208 = 42.08 %

For plant losses we have to subtract 5%

So net efficiency of generating unit = 42.08 - 5 = 37.08 %

Answer:

She believes he's weak and won't do what needs to be done to become a king.

Explanation:

She says ('I fear thy nature') and calls him 'too full o' th' milk of human kindness' which reflects that she feels his kindness makes him weak and may prevent him from proceeding the plan. Thus, she manipulates him to keep his kindness aside and do what she wishes him to do. She rather belittles him to get her purpose solved and

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength (\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa, Fracture strength

(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa

a) The critical length (L_c) is given by:

L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}}  \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

number of pulses produced =  162 pulses

Explanation:

give data

radius = 50 mm

encoder produces = 256 pulses per revolution

linear displacement = 200 mm

solution

first we consider here roll shaft encoder on the flat surface without any slipping

we get here now circumference that is

circumference = 2 π r .........1

circumference = 2 × π × 50

circumference = 314.16 mm

so now we get number of pulses produced

number of pulses produced = \frac{linear\ displacement}{circumference} × No of pulses per revolution .................2

number of pulses produced = \frac{200}{314.16} × 256

number of pulses produced =  162 pulses
