Answer:
Explanation:
The pressures given are relative
p1 = 2000 psi
P1 = 2014 psi = 13.9 MPa
p2 = 4 psi
P2 = 18.6 psi = 128 kPa
Values are taken from the steam pressure-enthalpy diagram
h2 = 2500 kJ/kg
If the output of the turbine has a quality of 85%:
t2 = 106 C
I consider the expansion in the turbine to adiabatic and reversible, therefore, isentropic
s1 = s2 = 6.4 kJ/(kg K)
h1 = 3500 kJ/kg
t2 = 550 C
The work in the turbine is of
w = h1 - h2 = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 kJ/kg
The thermal efficiency of the cycle depends on the input heat.
η = w/q1
q1 is not a given, so it cannot be calculated.
Overcurrent protective devices, or OCPDs
Answer:
6.37 inch
Explanation:
Thinking process:
We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.
To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:
Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

thus

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.
Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F
from the tables
Re= 2.01 × 10⁵
Hence, f = 0.018
Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft
This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi
Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

Answer:
The stress in the rod is 39.11 psi.
Explanation:
The stress due to a pulling force is obtained dividing the pulling force by the the area of the cross section of the rod. The respective area for a cylinder is:

Replacing the diameter the area results:

Therefore the the stress results:
