Answer:

a) T_{2}=837.2K

b) e=91.3 %

Explanation:

A) First, let's write the energy balance:

W=m*(h_{2}-h_{1})\\W=m*Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})  (The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).

The Cp of air is: 1.004 \frac{kJ}{kgK} And its specific R constant is 0.287 \frac{kJ}{kgK}.

The only unknown from the energy balance is T_{2}, so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.

T_{2}=T_{1}+\frac{W}{mCp}=1040K-\frac{1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}*1.004\frac{kJ}{kgk}} \\T_{2}=837.2K

B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}

Where {h_{2s} is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because h_{2}-h_{1} can be obtained from the energy balance  \frac{W}{m}=h_{2}-h_{1}

h_{2}-h_{1}=\frac{-1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}}=-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}

An entropy change for an ideal gas with  constant Cp is given by:

s_{2}-s_{1}=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})

You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.

For the isentropic process the equation is:

0=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})\\Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})

Applying logarithm properties:

ln((\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R} )=ln((\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp} )\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp}\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})\\T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}

Then,

T_{2}=1040K(\frac{120kPa}{278kPa})^{0.287/1.004}=817.96K

So, now it is possible to calculate h_{2s}-h_{1}:

h_{2s}-h_{1}}=Cp(T_{2s}-T_{1}})=1.004\frac{kJ}{kgK}*(817.96K-1040K)=-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}=\frac{-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}}{-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}}\\e=0.913=91.3 %

The number of tubs that each of them sold is; 24 tubs each

The number of days it will take for both of them to sell same amount of tubs is; 4 days

Number of cookies that Nicole had already sold = 4 tubs

Number of cookies sold by Josie before counting = 0 cookies

Nicole now sells 5 tubs per day and

Josie now sells 6 tubs per day.

Let the number of days it will take for them to have sold the same amount of cookies be d.

Thus;

5d + 4 = 6d + 0

6d - 5d = 4

d = 4 days

Thus, total number of cookies for both are;

Total for Nicole = 4 + 5(4) = 24 cookies

Total for Josie = 6(4) = 24 cookies

SashulF [63]

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

Check attachment for each type of circuit and the differences.

What are the advantages of triggering circuit<br> for thyrestors?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

For most applications, it is simple, dependable, efficient, and straightforward to apply - a simple trigger signal may be provided, with appropriate processing if necessary. This implies that an appropriate trigger signal may be generated using other electrical circuits and then applied to the SCR.

A garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The number of gallons, g (y), is proportional to the number of seconds, t (x
stepladder [879]

Answer:

0.4 gallons per second

Explanation:

A function shows the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

The independent variable (x values) are input variables i.e. they don't depend on other variables while the dependent variable (y values) are output variables i.e. they depend on other variables.

The rate of change or slope or constant of proportionality is the ratio of the dependent variable (y value) to the independent variable (x value).

Given that the garden hose fills a 2-gallon bucket in 5 seconds. The dependent variable = g = number of gallons, the independent variable = t = number of seconds.

Constant of proportionality = g / t = 2 / 5 = 0.4 gallons per second
