Steam enters a turbine in a Rankine cycle power plant at 200 psia and 500 °F. a) Calculate the isentropic thermal efficiency if

the condenser pressure is 14.7 psia. b) How much will the isentropic thermal efficiency change if the condenser pressure is 1.0 psia.

Answer:

η=0.19=19% for p=14.7psi

η=0.3=30% for p=1psi

Explanation:

enthalpy before the turbine, state: superheated steam

h1(p=200psi,t=500F)=2951.9KJ/kg

s1=6.8kJ/kgK

Entalpy after the turbine

h2(p=14.7psia, s=6.8)=2469KJ/Kg

Entalpy  before the boiler

h3=(p=14.7psia,x=0)=419KJ/Kg

Learn to pronounce

the efficiency for a simple rankine cycle is

η=\frac{h1-h2}{h1-h3}

η=(2951.9KJ/kg-2469KJ/Kg)/(2951.9KJ/kg-419KJ/Kg)

η=0.19=19%

second part

h2(p=1psia, s=6.8)=2110

h3(p=1psia, x=0)=162.1

η=(2951.9KJ/kg-2110KJ/Kg)/(2951.9KJ/kg-162.1KJ/Kg)

η=0.3=30%

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

the pressure gradient in the x direction = -15.48Pa/m

Explanation:

  • The concept of partial differentiation was used in the determination of the expression for u and v.
  • each is partially differentiated with respect to x and the appropriate substitution was done to get the value of the pressure gradient as shown in the attached file.

Conditions of special concern: i. Suggest two reasons each why distillation columns are run a.) above or b.) below ambient press
lutik1710 [3]

Solution :

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :

a). Set, \text{based on the pressure required to condensed} the overhead stream using cooling water.

  (minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)

b). Set, \text{based on highest temperature} of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.

c). Set, \text{based on available highest } not utility for reboiler.

Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :

The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.

Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :

a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.

b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :

The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.

The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.

A seamless pipe 800mm diameter contains a fluid under a pressure of 2N/mm2. If the permissible tensile stress is 100N/mm2, find
Bad White [126]

Answer:

8 mm

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter, D = 800 mm

Pressure, P = 2 N/mm²

Permissible tensile stress, σ = 100 N/mm²

Now,

for the pipes, we have the relation as:

\sigma=\frac{\textup{PD}}{\textup{2t}}

where, t is the thickness

on substituting the respective values, we get

100=\frac{\textup{2\times800}}{\textup{2t}}

or

t = 8 mm

Hence, the minimum thickness of pipe is 8 mm
