An isentropic steam turbine processes 5.5 kg/s of steam at 3 MPa, which is exhausted at 50 kPa and 100°C. Five percent of this f

low is diverted for feedwater heating at 500 kPa. Determine the power produced by this turbine. Use steam tables.

Answer:

The answer is 1823.9

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

m = 5.5 kg/s

= m₁ = m₂ = m₃

The work carried out by the energy balance is given as follows:

m₁h₁ = m₂h₂ +m₃h₃ + w

Now,

By applying the steam table we have that<

p₃ = 50 kPa

T₃ = 100°C

Which is

h₃ = 2682.4 kJ/KJ

s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

Since it is an isentropic process:

Then,

p₂ =  500 kPa

s₂=s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

which is

h₂ =3207.21 kJ/KgK

p₁ = 3HP0

s₁ = s₂=s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

h₁ =3854.85 kJ/kg

Thus,

Since 5 % of this flow diverted to p₂ =  500 kPa

Then

w =m (h₁-0.05 h₂ -0.95 )h₃

5.5(3854.85 - 0.05 * 3207.21  - 0.95 * 2682.4)

5.5( 3854.83 * 3207.21 - 0.95 * 2682.4)

5.5 ( 123363249.32 -0.95 * 2682.4)

w=1823.9

Railroad tracks made of 1025 steel are to be laid during the time of year when the temperature averages 4C (40F). Of a joint spa
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

41.5° C

Explanation:

Given data :

1025 steel

Temperature = 4°C

allowed joint space = 5.4 mm

length of rails = 11.9 m

<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>

coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C

Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l )  = ∝ * ΔT

                                    ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 )  = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )

∴  ( T2 - 4 ) =  ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6

hence : T2 = 41.5°C

Which of the following is/are FALSE about refining aluminum from the ore state (mark all that apply) a)- A blast furnace is used
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The options a)- A blast furnace is used and d)-Coke is used to produce the heat are FALSE.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a chemical element and the most abundant metal present in the Earth's crust. An aluminium ore is called bauxite. Aluminium is extracted from its ore by the process of electrolysis, called the Hall–Héroult process. The extraction of aluminium is an expensive process as it requires large amount of electricity. The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide. Then, aluminium is extracted from the aluminium oxide.

<u>Therefore, the refining of aluminum from its ore does not involve the use of a blast furnace and coke to produce heat.</u>
