A satellite is launched 600 km from the surface of the earth, with an initial velocity of 8333.3 m./s, acting parallel to the ta

ngent of the surface of the earth. Assuming the radius of the earth to be 6378 km and that is 5.976 * 10^6 kg, determine the eccentricity of the orbit.

Answer:

eccentrcity of orbit is 0.22

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Initial velocity of satellite = 8333.3 m/s

distance from the sun is 600 km

radius of earth is 6378 km

as satellite is acting parallel to the earth therefore\theta angle = 0

and radial component of given velocity is zero

we haveh = r_o v_r_o = 6378+600 =6.97*10^6 m

h = 6.97*10^6 *8333.3 = 58.08*10^9 m^2/s

we know that

\frac{1}{r} =\frac{GM}{h^2} \times ( i + \epsilon cos\theta)

GM = gr^2 = 9.81*(6.37*10^6)^2 = 398*10^{12} m^3/s

so

\frac{1}{6.97*10^6} =\frac{398*10^{12}}{(58.08*10^9)^2} \times ( i + \epsilon cos0)

solvingt for \epsilon)

\epsilon = 0.22)

therefore eccentrcity of orbit is 0.22

Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the worki
storchak [24]

Answer:

True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>

<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor. </em>
