In a Rankine cycle, superheated steam that enters the turbine at 1273.15 K and 1.8 MPa is then expanded to a vapor at 0.1 MPa. W

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The shaft work generated per kilogram is $-1.3 \frac{MJ}{kg}$

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature $T = 1273.15$ K

Initial Pressure $P_{1} = 1.8$ MPa

Final pressure $P_{2} = 0.1$ MPa

From the table superheated,

$h_{i} = 4635$ $\frac{K J}{Kg}$ and $h_{f} = 2706.54$ $\frac{K J}{Kg}$

Work done by shaft is,

$W = h_{f} - h_{i}$

$W = 2706.54 - 4635$

$W = -1928.46 \frac{kJ}{kg}$

But here efficiency is 0.56,

So work generated per kg is,

Work = $0.56 \times(- 1928.46)$

Work = $-1.3$ $\frac{MJ}{kg}$

Therefore, the shaft work generated per kilogram is $-1.3 \frac{MJ}{kg}$

1. It is known that there are some disadvantages in the casting of metal materials if the casting rate is high. Contrary to this

salantis [7]

Answer:

Some of the demerits or disadvantages of using a very slow castings rates in production of metal by the method of casting includes, with the solidification of metal, it may begin even before the mold is filled fully, which may result in defects such as shrinkage.

Secondly, the rate of slow casting will create castings that have a grain coarse structure that will affect the strength of the castings.

Explanation:

Solution

The disadvantageous of slow casting rates in the production of metals by casting method is explained below:

(1) The solidification of metal may start even before the mold is filled completely, which may create or produce defects such as mis-runs and shrinkage and shrinkage cavity.

So, the slow cavity rate will produce partial and incomplete castings

(2) Slow casting rate will produce castings which have a coarse grain structure which therefore affects the strength of the castings adversely.

The moisture content in air (humidity) is measured by weight and expressed in pounds or ____________________.

VikaD [51]

Moisture content is measured in terms of pounds of water per pound of air (lb water/lb air) or grains of water per pound of air (gr. of water/lb air).

Hope this helps❤

When using an alternative method of sizing with two vent connectors for draft hood-equipped water heaters, the effective area of

amid [387]

Answer:

Fifty (50) percent.<em> [50%] </em>

Explanation:

Water heater is a home appliance that comprises of an electric or gas heating unit as well as a water-tank where water is heated and stored for use.

When using an alternative method of sizing with two vent connectors for draft hood-equipped water heaters, the effective area of the common vent connector or vent manifold and all junction fittings shall not be less than the area of the larger vent connector plus fifty (50) percent of the areas of smaller flue collar outlets.

A water heater is primarily vented with an approved and standardized plastic or metallic pipe such as flue or chimney, which allows gas to flow out of the water heater into the surrounding environment.

For a draft hood-equipped water heater, both the water heater and the barometric draft regulators must be installed in the same room. Also, the technician should ensure that the vent is through a concealed space such as conduit and should be labeled as Type L or Type B.

The minimum capacity of a water heater should be calculated based on the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and its first hour rating.

The following are related to wastewater treatment:

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A. - Primary wastewater treatment: the physical treatment process which is used to in order to get rid of suspended solids that can settle from wastewater.

- Secondary wastewater treatment: treatment processes remove waste organic ( which are once living/biological) material from wastewater, usually by the use of a biological treatment process.

-Tertiary wastewater treatment: Tertiary treatment isn't needed at all wastewater treatment plants, and the place it is needed, it may be different from one plant to another, depending on the type of water contamination that must be removed.

B. Primary treatment: Approximately 35% of the incoming biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

Secondary treatment : Approximately 85% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

C. - Activated Sludge, Rotating biological contractors.

Explanation:

A. Primary wastewater treatment refers to sedimentation, the physical treatment process which is used to in order to get rid of suspended solids that can settle from wastewater. The main goal of primary treatment is to remove organic and inorganic solids that settles by sedimentation, and by act of skimming removed materials end up floating.

Secondary wastewater treatment processes remove waste organic ( which are once living/biological) material from wastewater, usually by the use of a biological treatment process. The goal of secondary treatment is the further treatment of the effluent from primary treatment in order to get rid of the residual organics and suspended solids.

Advanced wastewater is quite in between. Tertiary treatment isn't needed at all wastewater treatment plants, and the place it is needed, it may be different from one plant to another, depending upon the type of water contamination that must be removed. Advanced treatment processes can be combined with primary or secondary treatment or used instead of secondary treatment.

B. Primary treatment: Approximately 35% of the incoming biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

Secondary treatment : Approximately 85% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).

C.

-Activated Sludge: The activated sludge process is a kind of wastewater treatment process for treating sewage/industrial wastewaters by the use of aeration and a biological floc which consists of bacteria and protozoa.

- Rotating biological contactor: Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) are fixed-film reactors that have similarities with biofilters in the sense that organisms are attached to support media.

Activated sludge is a suspended process, which is when the biomass is mixed with the sewage while in rotating biological contractor, the biomass grows on the media and then, the sewage passes over the surface.
