Steam at 4 MPa and 350°C is expanded in an adiabatic turbine to 125kPa. What is the isentropic efficiency (percent) of this turb

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%$

Explanation:

First, we will find actual properties at given inlet and outlet states by the use of steam tables:

AT INLET:

At 4MPa and 350°C, from the superheated table:

h₁ = 3093.3 KJ/kg

s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

AT OUTLET:

At P₂ = 125 KPa and steam is saturated in vapor state:

h₂ = $h_{g\ at\ 125KPa}$ = 2684.9 KJ/kg

Now, for the isentropic enthalpy, we have:

P₂ = 125 KPa and s₂ = s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

Since s₂ is less than $s_g$ and greater than $s_f$ at 125 KPa. Therefore, the steam is in a saturated mixture state. So:

$x = \frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}} \\\\x = \frac{6.5843\ KJ/kg.K - 1.3741\ KJ/kg.K}{5.91\ KJ/kg.K}\\\\x = 0.88$

Now, we will find $h_{2s}$ (enthalpy at the outlet for the isentropic process):

$h_{2s} = h_{f\ at\ 125KPa}+xh_{fg\ at\ 125KPa}\\\\h_{2s} = 444.36\ KJ/kg + (0.88)(2240.6\ KJ/kg)\\h_{2s} = 2416.088\ KJ/kg$

Now, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be given as follows:

$\eta_{turbine} = \frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2684.9\ KJ/kg}{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2416.088\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{408.4\ KJ/kg}{677.212\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%$

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16

Bad White [126]

Answer:

the net work per cycle $\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, W = 88.0144746 hp

Explanation:

the information given includes;

diameter of the four-cylinder bore = 3.7 in

length of the stroke = 3.4 in

The clearance volume = 16% = 0.16

The cylindrical volume $V_2 = 0.16 V_1$

the crankshaft N rotates at a speed of 2400 RPM.

At the beginning of the compression , temperature $T_1$ = 60 F = 519.67 R

and;

Otto cycle with a pressure = 14.5 lbf/in² = (14.5 × 144 ) lb/ft²

= 2088 lb/ft²

The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 R

From the given information; the change in volume is:

$V_1-V_2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D^2L$

$V_1-0.16V_1= \dfrac{\pi}{4}(3.7)^2(3.4)$

$V_1-0.16V_1= 36.55714291$

$0.84 V_1 =36.55714291$

$V_1 =\dfrac{36.55714291}{0.84 }$

$V_1 =43.52040823 \ in^3 \\ \\ V_1 = 43.52 \ in^3$

$V_1 = 0.02518 \ ft^3$

the mass in air ( lb) can be determined by using the formula:

$m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT}$

where;

R = 53.3533 ft.lbf/lb.R°

$m = \dfrac{2088 \ lb/ft^2 \times 0.02518 \ ft^3}{53.3533 \ ft .lbf/lb.^0R \times 519 .67 ^0 R}$

m = 0.0018962 lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at Temperature 519.67 R

$v_{r1} =158.58$

$u_1 = 88.62 Btu/lb$

At state of volume 2; the relative volume can be determined as:

$v_{r2} = v_{r1} \times \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}$

$v_{r2} = 158.58 \times 0.16$

$v_{r2} = 25.3728$

The specific energy $u_2$ at $v_{r2} = 25.3728$ is 184.7 Btu/lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at maximum Temperature T = 5200 R

$v_{r3} = 0.1828$

$u_3 = 1098 \ Btu/lb$

To determine the relative volume at state 4; we have:

$v_{r4} = v_{r3} \times \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

$v_{r4} =0.1828 \times \dfrac{1}{0.16}$

$v_{r4} =1.1425$

The specific energy $u_4$ at $v_{r4} =1.1425$ is 591.84 Btu/lb

Now; the net work per cycle can now be calculated as by using the following formula:

$W_{net} = Heat \ supplied - Heat \ rejected$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2)-m(u_4 - u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2- u_4 + u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (410.08)$

$\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, in horsepower. can be calculated as follows;

In the four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine; the power developed by the engine can be calculated by using the expression:

$W = 4 \times N' \times W_{net$

where ;

$N' = \dfrac{2400}{2}$

N' = 1200 cycles/min

N' = 1200 cycles/60 seconds

N' = 20 cycles/sec

W = 4 × 20 cycles/sec × 0.777593696

W = 62.20749568 Btu/s

W = 88.0144746 hp

Water vapor at 100 psi, 500 F and a velocity of 100 ft./sec enters a nozzle operating at steady sate and expands adiabatically t

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a)exit velocity of the steam, V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100 psi

V1 = 100 ft./sec

T1 = 500f

P2 = 40 psi

n = 95% = 0.95

a) for nozzle:

Let's apply steady gas equation.

$h_1 + \frac{(v_1) ^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{(v_2)^2}{2}$

h1 and h2 = inlet and exit enthalpy respectively.

At T1 = 500f and P1 = 100 psi,

h1 = 1278.8 Btu/Ibm

s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At P2 = 40psi and s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

1193.5 Btu/Ibm

Let's find the actual h2 using the formula :

$n = \frac{h_1 - h_2*}{h_1 - h_2}$

$n = \frac{1278.8 - h_2*}{1278.8 - 1193.5}$

solving for h2, we have

$h_2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm$

Take Btu/Ibm = 25037 ft²/s²

Using the first equation, exit velocity of the steam =

$(1278.8 * 25037) + \frac{(100)^2}{2}= (1197.77*25037)+ \frac{(V_2)^2}{2}$

Solving for V2, we have

V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) The amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R will be calculated using :

Δs = s2 - s1

Where s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At h2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm and P2 =40 psi,

S2 = 1.714 Btu/Ibm.R

Therefore, amount of entropy produced will be:

Δs = 1.714Btu/Ibm.R - 1.708Btu/Ibm.R

= 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

You are asked to design a software package for an On-line Banking System (OBS). The OBS will take requests from its user on the

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

From the statements described above,The proposed software package Online Banking System(OBS) shall provide the following services to the customer(account holder)

Receive all transaction requests from the customers trough online to perform banking activities

Offer a variety of services in banking like:

Opening an account with facilities of Savings,Checking and CD

Issuing checks and check clearance

Transfer of funds between savings and checking account

Establishing a CD(Certificate of Deposit)

Performing routine activities like

Deposit or withdraw funds from a checking account

Closing an account in one of the following operation

Complete closure of account

Closing only savings account

Withdraw CD (on Maturity of CD deposits) and close CD account

Unlike traditional Banking system, OBS offers all the operations through On-line mode over the internet thereby it eliminates manual intervention for the banking transactions from the Bank's side for most of the transactions except some cases like verification of new account applications or complaint redressal and technical support .In such cases ,There will be some users of the software with special privileges to access certain services to perform activities like user data verification and technical support.

Step:1 Identification of actors and software entities for the system to be implemented

The following are the actors identified in the system

Actors:

The users of the proposed system were classified as:

Customer : A user with an active account

Guest user:The user who applies for an account

Administrator:Maintainsand Controls OBS

Manager: Manages the transactions and Banking related issues

Technical Manager: Resolves technical issues of customers

Software entities:

Bank database :Maintains the data of all user accounts

Application server : Maintains the application software components and hosts the OBS website

Automatic Clearing House system : Processes transactions for checks

Step 2: Designing use cases

Use case diagrams are used to describe the system model by representing a set of use cases .Each use case represents a set of actions performed on the system by an actor.

The following are the two approaches of representing the system in a use case model:

1.Representing a use case for actions done by actors e.g. login , logout,message etc.,

2.Representing a use case for business process(Business use cases) e.g. transfer,registration etc.,

The following is the description of five possible business use cases for the requirements specified above

Which of the following statements are true concerning AC circuit that contains both resistance and inductance? A. The current an

maw [93]

The current will lag the voltage in AC circuit that contains both resistance and inductance.

Answer: C

Explanation

There is no inductance only circuits in reality.

The circuits containing inductance has also a lower amount of resistance.

The current flows in both resistance and inductance.

There is a drop in the total voltage in resistance and inductance giving rise to the voltage applied in the coil when connected in a series.

An example being inductance coil an AC circuit connected to both resistance and inductance in series.

From the vector diagram, this conclusion can be drawn.
