In a simple ideal Rankine cycle, water is used as the working fluid. The cycle operates with pressures of 2000 psi in the boiler

and 4 psi in the condenser. What is the minimum temperature required at the turbine inlet, so that the quality of the steam at the turbine outlet is not less than 85%. What would be the thermal efficiency of the cycle?

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressures given are relative

p1 = 2000 psi

P1 = 2014 psi = 13.9 MPa

p2 = 4 psi

P2 = 18.6 psi = 128 kPa

Values are taken from the steam pressure-enthalpy diagram

h2 = 2500 kJ/kg

If the output of the turbine has a quality of 85%:

t2 = 106 C

I consider the expansion in the turbine to adiabatic and reversible,  therefore, isentropic

s1 = s2 = 6.4 kJ/(kg K)

h1 = 3500 kJ/kg

t2 = 550 C

The work in the turbine is of

w = h1 - h2 = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency of the cycle depends on the input heat.

η = w/q1

q1 is  not a given, so it cannot be calculated.

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67  =  μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136

A lagoon is designed to accommodate an input flow of 0.10 m^3/s of nonconservative pollutant with concentration 30 mg/L and deca
dexar [7]

Answer:

Volume of the lagoon required for the decay process must be larger than 86580 m³ = 8.658 × 10⁷ L

Explanation:

The lagoon can be modelled as a Mixed flow reactor.

From the value of the decay constant (0.2/day), one can deduce that the decay reaction of the pollutant is a first order reaction.

The performance equation of a Mixed flow reactor is given from the material and component balance thus:

(V/F₀) = (C₀ - C)/((C₀)(-r)) (From the Chemical Reaction Engineering textbook, authored by Prof. Octave Levenspiel)

V = volume of the reactor (The lagoon) = ?

C₀ = Initial concentration of the reactant (the pollutant concentration) = 30 mg/L = 0.03 mg/m³

F₀ = Initial flow rate of reactant in mg/s = 0.10 m³/s × C₀ = 0.1 m³/s × 0.03 mg/m³ = 0.003 mg/s

C = concentration of reactant at any time; effluent concentration < 10mg/L, this means the maximum concentration of pollutant allowed in the effluent is 10 mg/L

For the sake of easy calculation, C = the maximum value = 10 mg/L = 0.01 mg/m³

(-r) = kC (Since we know this decay process is a first order reaction)

This makes the performance equation to be:

(kVC₀/F₀) = (C₀ - C)/C

V = F₀(C₀ - C)/(kC₀C)

k = 0.2/day = 0.2/(24 × 3600s) = 2.31 × 10⁻⁶/s

V = 0.003(0.03 - 0.01)/(2.31 × 10⁻⁶ × 0.03 × 0.01)

V = 86580 m³

Since this calculation is made for the maximum concentration of 10mg/L of pollutant in the effluent, the volume obtained is the minimum volume of reactor (lagoon) to ensure a maximum volume of 10 mg/L of pollutant is contained in the effluent.

The lower the concentration required for the pollutant in the effluent, the larger the volume of reactor (lagoon) required for this decay reaction. (Provided all the other parameters stay the same)

Hope this helps!

List and briefly describe two modern's materials needs
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Modern and smart materials for making the products are improved by developing new materials and find new uses for the existing. As, modern industrialization society is increased demand and quality of the product.

Two modern's materials are:

Carbon Fiber: As, carbon fiber is a strong material and it is light in weight. Designers used it because it is five times strong as steel and two times as stiff. Carbon fiber is basically made out of very thin strands of carbon.

Fiber Optics: It is a new technology as, it is used as transparent solid to transmitted light signals.
