The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200 K and 400 K,

respectively. For each case, evaluate the net power developed by the cycle, in kW, and the thermal efficiency. Also in each case apply Eq. 5.13 on a time-rate basis to determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible. (a) Q . H 5 600 kW, Q . C 5 400 kW (b) Q . H 5 600 kW, Q . C 5 0 kW (c) Q . H 5 600 kW, Q . C 5 200 kW

Answer:

a. Irreversible

b. Impossible

c. Impossible

Explanation:

to determine if a case is reversible, irreversible or impossible we compare the actual efficiency to the maximum efficiency of each case

maximum efficiency of the power cycle

nmax = 1 - TC/TH

nmax = 1 - 400/1200

Answer:

a) N=0.04 (4%)

b)N=0.99 (99%)

c)N=0.07 (7%)

Explanation:

The maximum power efficiency of any power cycle operating between two reservoirs is

Nmax=1-Tc/Th

Nmax=1-400k/1200k

Nmax=1-0.3333

Nmax=0.667 (66.7%)

Given Q . H= 5 600 kW, Q . C= 5 400 kW

a) Wcycle= Qh-Qc

Wcycle=5600-5 400

Wcycle=200KW

N=Wcycle/Qh

N=200KW/5 600 kW

N=0.04 (4%)

b) Q . H =5 600 kW, Q . C= 5 0 kW

Wcycle= Qh-Qc

Wcycle= 5 600 kW-5 0 kW

Wcycle=5550 kW

N=Wcycle/Qh

N=5550/5 600

N=0.99 (99%)

C) Q . H= 5 600 kW, Q . C= 5 200 kW

Wcycle= Qh-Qc

Wcycle=5 600-5 200

Wcycle=400 kW

N=Wcycle/Qh

N=400kW/5 600 kW

N=0.07 (7%)

The critical resolved shear stress for a metal is 39 MPa. Determine the maximum possible yield strength (in MPa) for a single cr
damaskus [11]

Answer:

78 MPa

Explanation:

Given that the critical resolved shear stress for a metal is 39 MPa, the maximum possible yield strength for a single crystal of this metal is twice the critical resolved shear stress for the metal. The maximum yield yield strength for a single crystal of this metal that is pulled in tension (\sigma_y) is given as:

\sigma_y=2*critical\ resolved\ shear\ stress(\tau_{css})\\\\\sigma_y=2*\tau_{css}\\\\\sigma_y=2*39\\\\\sigma_y=78\ MPa

Germanium forms a substitutional solid solution with silicon. Compute the number of germanium atoms per cubic centimeter for a g
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The number of germanium atoms per cubic centimeter for this germanium-silicon alloy is 3.16 x 10²¹ atoms/cm³.

Explanation:

Concentration of Ge (C_{Ge}) = 15%

Concentration of Si (C_{Si}) = 85%

Density of Germanium (ρ_{Ge}) = 5.32 g/cm³

Density of Silicon (ρ_{Si}) = 2.33 g/cm³

Atomic mass of Ge (A_{Ge})= 72.64 g/mol

To calculate the number of Ge atoms per cubic centimeter for the alloy, we will use the formula:

No of Ge atoms/cm³=[Avogadro's Number*C_{Ge}]/([C_{Ge}*A_{Ge}/ρ_{Ge})+(C_{Si}*A_{Ge}/ρ_{Si})]

                              = (6.02x10²³ * 15%) / [(15% * 72.64/5.32)+(72.64*85%/2.33)]

                              = (9.03x10²²)/(2.048+26.499)

                              = (9.03x10²²)/(28.547)

No of Ge atoms/cm³ = 3.16 x 10²¹ atoms/cm³

If the pressure of a confined liquid is doubled, the volume will do what?
slava [35]

Answer:

Boyle's Law simply describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of an enclosed gas when Temperature remains constant. Tripling the pressure will reduce its volume to 1/3, and so on. Alternatively, if you double the volume available to an enclosed gas, pressure is halved.
