Air enters the compressor of an air-standard Brayton cycle with a volumetric flow rate of 60 m3/s at 0.8 bar, 280 K. The compres

sor pressure ratio is 20, and the maximum cycle temperature is 2100 K. For the compressor, the isentropic efficiency is 92% and for the turbine the isentropic efficiency is 95%. Determine
(a) the net power developed, in MW

(b) the rate of heat addition in the combustor, in MW

(c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle

Answer:

a) The Net power developed in this air-standard Brayton cycle is 43.8MW

b) The rate of heat addition in the combustor is 84.2MW

c) The thermal efficiency of the cycle is 52%

Explanation:

To solve this cycle we need to determinate the enthalpy of each work point of it. If we consider the cycle starts in 1, the air is compressed until 2, is heated until 3 and go throw the turbine until 4.

Considering this:

$h_{i} =T_{i}C_{pair}=T_{i}1.005\frac{KJ}{Kg K}$

$\mu_{comp}=\frac{h_{2S}-h_{1}}{h_{2}-h_{1}}$

$\mu_{comp}=\frac{h_{3}-h_{4}}{h_{3}-h_{4S}}$

$G_{m} =\frac{PMG_{v}}{TR} =59.73\frac{Kg}{s}$

Now we can calculate the enthalpy of each work point:

h₁=281.4KJ/Kg

h₂=695.41KJ/Kg

h₃=2105KJ/Kg

h₄=957.14KJ/Kg

The net power developed:

$P_{net}=P_{Tur}-P_{Comp}=G_{m}((h_{3}-h_{4})-(h_{2}-h_{1}))$

The rate of heat:

$Q=G_{m}(h_{3}-h_{2})$

The thermal efficiency:

$\mu_{ther}=\frac{P_{net}}{Q}$

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is

Leona [35]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

$dQ = dU - dW$

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) $\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW$

As per work definition:

$dW = F*dr$

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

$dW = PA*dx$

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

$dW = - P*dV$

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV$

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as $P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}$ , so:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV$

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

$\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change $U_{2} - U_{1} = 0$ , so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Design a fundamental mode asynchronous finite state machine that accepts input pair, A and B. The AB input sequence 00, 01,11, 1

dybincka [34]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

A Finite state machines can be synchronous or asynchronous. The operation of asynchronous state machines does not require a clock signal. An Asynchronous state machine is classified basically on their operating mode, such as the fundamental mode, pulse mode or burst mode. An asynchronous state machine can have stable and transient states.
