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 %

When does the vc-turbo engine use lower compression ratios?.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The VC-T engine (for "variable compression, turbocharged") can adjust its compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1 on the fly, offering high-compression efficiency under light loads and the low compression needed for turbocharged power under hard acceleration.

a) find the state-space representation of the system. b) is the system controllable? why? c) is the system observable? why
mart [117]

If a controlled input can transfer (alter) the control system's initial states to some other desired states in a finite amount of time, the control system is said to be controllable.

Using Kalman's test, we can determine whether a control system is controllable. The evolution model for the state variables (time-varying unknowns) and the observation model, which connects the observations to the state variables, make up the state space representation of a dynamical system. The capacity to move a system about in its full configuration space using just specific permitted actions is generally referred to as controllability. The precise definition changes slightly depending on the model type or framework used.
