In normal operation, a paper mill generates excess steam at 20 bar and 400◦C. It is planned to use this steam as the feed to a t

urbine to generate electricity for the mill. There are 5000 kg/hr of steam available, and it is planned that the exit pressure of the steam will be 2 bar. Assuming that the turbine is well insulated, what is the maximum power that can be generated by the turbine?

Answer:

The maximum power that can be generated is 127.788 kW

Explanation:

Using the steam table

Enthalpy at 20 bar = 2799 kJ/kg

Enthalpy at 2 bar = 2707 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = 2799 - 2707 = 92 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of steam = 5000 kg/hr = 5000 kJ/hr × 1 hr/3600 s = 1.389 kg/s

Maximum power generated = change in enthalpy × mass flow rate = 92 kJ/kg × 1.389 kg/s = 127.788 kJ/s = 127.788 kW

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

Explanation:

Given that;

patm = 79 kPa, h = 13 in of H₂O,

A sketch of the problem is uploaded along this answer.

Now

pA = patm + 13 in of H₂O ( h × density × g )

pA= 79 + (13 × 0.0254 × 9.8 × 1000/1000)

pA = 82.23596 kPa

the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa
