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 %

Unless a structural element is intended to be battered, sloped, or cambered (or some other non-conforming position), wood, steel
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

stability; resistance; rigidity.

Explanation:

Okay, let us fill in the gap in the question above. Please note that the capitalized words are the missing words to fill in the gap.

"Unless a structural element is intended to be battered, sloped, or cambered (or some other non-conforming position), wood, steel, and concrete should always be installed and maintained STABILITY , RESISTANCE , and RIGIDITY. These conditions are critical in order to ensure maximum stability, structural performance and user satisfaction."

This question has to deal with buildings or say structural (civil) engineering. The definition to the missing words are given below:

STABILITY: Stability occurs when we have the center of gravity coinciding with the base of the structure.

RESISTANCE : Resistance simply means the 'tension' that is is how much the structure can resist an applied force.

RIGIDITY : RIGIDITY can also be associated with resistance and it is the property of a structure to resist bending.
