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%

The following laboratory test results for Atterberg limits and sieve-analysis were obtained for an inorganic soil. [6 points] Si
alexira [117]

Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer:

A) Group symbol = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

Explanation:

<u>A) Classifying the soil according to USCS system</u>

 ( using 2nd image attached below )

<em>description of sand</em> :

The soil is a coarse sand since  ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200 sieve, also

The soil is a sand given that more than 50% particles passed from No 4 sieve

The soil can be a clean sand given that fines ≤ 12%

The soil can be said to be a well graded sand because the percentage of particles passing through decreases gradually over time

Group symbol as per the 2nd image attached below = SW

B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand

C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be ca
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula \frac{rpm*T}{5252}, where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct
