Sketch the velocity profile for laminar and turbulent flow.
1 answer:
Answer:
The laminar flow is generally given in high viscosity fluids such as honey or oil, it has the characteristic of flowing in an orderly manner, the walls of the tube have a zero speed while in the center it has a maximum speed.
turbulent flow is characterized by fluid velocity vectors presenting themselves in a disorderly manner and in all directions.
I attached the drawings for the velocity profile in laminar and turbulent flow.

Explanation:
Coefficient of Perfomance (COP) is the ratio of refrigeration effect to power input.
where RE is refrigeration effect and P is power input
Here, the power input is given as 30 kW
We also know that 1 ton cooling is equivalent to 3.5 kW hence for 50 tons, RE=50*3.5=175 kW
Now the
A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined
Assumptions :
1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
Properties: The specific heat of geothermal water ( [) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.
Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.
