Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 3374.289\,\frac{BTU}{s}

Explanation:

The model for the turbine is given by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

- \dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0

The turbine power output is:

\dot W_{out} = \dot m\cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})

The volumetric flow is:

\dot V = \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot \left( \frac{2}{12}\,ft \right)^{2}\cdot (620\,\frac{ft}{s} )

\dot V \approx 13.526\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}

The specific volume of steam at inlet is:

State 1 (Superheated Steam)

\nu = 1.33490\,\frac{ft^{3}}{lbm}

The mass flow is:

\dot m = \frac{\dot V}{\nu}

\dot m = \frac{13.526\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s} }{1.33490\,\frac{ft^{3}}{lbm} }

\dot m = 10.133\,\frac{lbm}{s}

Specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet are, respectively:

State 1 (Superheated Steam)

h = 1479.74\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

State 2 (Saturated Vapor)

h = 1146.1\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

The turbine power output is:

\dot W_{out} = (10.133\,\frac{lbm}{s} )\cdot (1479.1\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}-1146.1\,\frac{BTU}{lbm})

\dot W_{out} = 3374.289\,\frac{BTU}{s}

A heat recovery system​ (HRS) is used to conserve heat from the surroundings and supply it to the Mars Rover. The HRS fluid loop
blagie [28]

Answer:

0.304 L of Freon is needed

Explanation:

Q = mCT

Q is quantity of energy that must be removed = 47 BTU = 47×1055.06 = 49587.82 J

C is specific heat of Freon = 74 J/mol.K = 74 J/mol.K × 1 mol/120 g = 0.617 J/g.K

T is temperature in the area of Mars = 189 K

m = Q/CT = 49587.82/(0.617×189) = 452.23 g = 452.24/1000 = 0.45223 kg

Density of Freon = specific gravity of Freon × density of water = 1.49 × 1000 kg/m^3 = 1490 kg/m^3

Volume of Freon = mass/density = 0.45223/1490 = 0.000304 m^3 = 0.000304×1000 = 0.304 L

BCC lithium has a lattice parameter of 3.5089 3 10–8 cm and contains one vacancy per 200 unit cells. Calculate (a) the number of
Tanya [424]

(a) The number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b) ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given-

Lattice parameter of Li  = 3.5089 X 10⁻⁸ cm

1 vacancy per 200 unit cells

Vacancy per cell = 1/200

(a)

Number of vacancies per cubic cm = ?

Vacancies/cm³ = vacancy per cell / (lattice parameter)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1 / 200 X (3.5089 X 10⁻⁸cm)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1.157 X 10²⁰

Therefore, the number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b)

Density is represented by ρ

ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

where,

Nₐ = Avogadro number

AM = atomic mass

n = number of atoms

v = volume of unit cell

The correct area in sq. Inches and sq. Feet is: Select one: a. 966.76 sq. Inches and 8.056 sq. Feet b. 96.676 sq. Inches and 8.0
kogti [31]

Answer:

c. 96.676 sq. Inches and 0.671 sq. Feet

Explanation:

From the list of the given option, we are told to chose the correct area in sq. inches that correspond to sq. Feet.

If we recall from the knowledge of our conversion  table that,

1 sq feet = 144 sq inches

Then, let's confirm if the option were true.

a.  966.76 sq. Inches and 8.056 sq. Feet

Assuming

if 1 sq feet = 8.056

in sq inches, we have ( 8.056 × 144 ) sq inches

= 1160.064 sq. inches

So, 1160.064 sq. inches is equal to 8.056 sq. Feet. Then option 1 is wrong

b. 96.676 sq. Inches and 8.056 sq. Feet

if 1 sq feet = 8.056

in sq inches, we have ( 8.056 × 144 ) sq inches

= 1160.064 sq. inches

So, 1160.064 sq. inches is equal to 8.056 sq. Feet. Then option 2 is wrong/

c. 96.676 sq. Inches and 0.671 sq. Feet

if 1 sq feet = 0.671

in sq inches, we have ( 0.671 × 144 ) sq inches

=  96.624 sq. Inches which is closely equal to 96.676 sq. Inches

Therefore, this is the correct answer as it proves that 96.676 sq. Inches = 0.671 sq. Feet
