Answer:

$39,500

Explanation:

In order to find the total cost, we proceed as follows:

1)

First, the base fee is:

$b=\$1000$

2)

Then we calculate the total number of questions: we have 15 questions per survey, and a total of 500 surveys (for 500 people), therefore the total number of questions is

$Q=15\cdot 500 =7500$

Since the cost is $5 per question, the total cost of the questions is

$q=\$5\cdot 7500 =\$37,500$

3)

Finally, we have 500 persons, and there is a cost of $2 per each person, so the cost due to this is

$p=\$2\cdot 500 = \$1000$

Therefore, the total cost is:

$T=b+q+p=1000+37,500+1000=\$39,500$

A vacuum pump is used to drain a basement of 20 °C water (with a density of 998 kg/m3 ). The vapor pressure of water at this tem

lord [1]

Answer:

The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is $\Delta h=9.975\,m$

Explanation:

To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature. As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

$\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h +\frac{1}{2} \Delta v^2 =0$

( $\rho$ stands here for density, $h$ for height)

Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:

$\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h =0$

$\Delta P= -g\, \rho\, \Delta h$

This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.

We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.

That means:

$\Delta P = 2.34\,kPa- 100 \,kPa = -97.66 \, kPa\\$

We insert that into our last equation and get:

$\frac{ \Delta P}{ -g\, \rho\,}= \Delta h\\\Delta h=\frac{97.66 \, kPa}{998 kg/m^3 \, \, 9.81 m/s^2} \\\Delta h=9.975\,m$

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.

An ideal reheat Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates the boiler at 15,000 kPa, the reheater at 2000 kPa, and t

solniwko [45]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

First find the enthalpies h₁, h₂, h₃, h₄, h₅, and h₆.

Find h₁:

Using Saturated Water Table and given pressure p₁ = 100 kPa

h₁ = 417.5 kJ/kg

Find h₂:

In order to find h₂, add the $w_{p}$ to h₁, where $w_{p}$ is the work done by pump and h₁ is the enthalpy computed above h₁ = 417.5 kJ/kg.

But first we need to compute $w_{p}$ To computer

Pressures:

p₁ = 100 kPa

p₂ = 15,000 kPa

and

Using saturated water pressure table, the volume of water $v_{f}$ = 1.0432

Dividing 1.0432/1000 gives us:

Volume of water = v₁ = 0.001043 m³/kg

Compute the value of h₂:

h₂ = h₁ + v₁ (p₂ - p₁)

= 417.5 kJ/kg + 0.001043 m³/kg ( 15,000 kPa - 100 kPa)

= 417.5 + 0.001043 (14900)

= 417.5 + 15.5407

= 433.04 kJ/kg

Find h₃

Using steam table:

At pressure p₃ = 15000 kPa

and Temperature = T₃ = 450°C

Then h₃ = 3159 kJ/kg

The entropy s₃ = 6.14 kJ/ kg K

Find h₄

Since entropy s₃ is equal to s₄ So

s₄ = 6.14 kJ/kgK

To compute h₄

s₄ = $s_{f}$ + $x_{4} s_{fg}$

$x_{4} = s_{4} -s_{f} /s_{fg}$

$x_{4}$ = 6.14 - 2.45 / 3.89

$x_{4}$ = 0.9497

The enthalpy h₄:

h₄ = $h_{f} +x_{4} h_{fg}$

= 908.4 + 0.9497(1889.8)

= 908.4 + 1794.7430

= 2703 kJ/kg

This can simply be computed using the software for steam tables online. Just use the entropy s₃ = 6.14 kJ/ kg K and pressure p₄ = 2000 kPa

Find h₅

Using steam table:

At pressure p₅ = 2000 kPa

and Temperature = T₅ = 450°C

Then h₅ = 3358 kJ/kg

Find h₆:

Since the entropy s₅ = 7.286 kJ/kgK is equal s₆ to So

s₆ = 7.286 kJ/kgK = 7.29 kJ/kgK

To compute h₆

s₆ = $s_{f}$ + $x_{6} s_{fg}$

$x_{6} = s_{6} -s_{f} /s_{fg}$

$x_{6}$ = 7.29 - 1.3028 / 6.0562

$x_{6}$ = 0.988

The enthalpy h₆:

h₆ = $h_{f} +x_{6} h_{fg}$

= 417.51 + 0.988 (2257.5)

= 417.51 + 2230.41

h₆ = 2648 kJ/kg

This can simply be computed using the software for steam tables online. Just use the entropy s₅ = 7.286 kJ/kgK and pressure p₅ = 2000 kPa

Compute power used by pump:

$P_{p}$ is found by using:

mass flow rate = m = 1.74 kg/s

Volume of water = v₁ = 0.001043 m³/kg

p₁ = 100 kPa

p₂ = 15,000 kPa

$P_{p}$ = ( m ) ( v₁ ) ( p₂ - p₁ )

= (1.74 kg/s) (0.001043 m³/kg) (15,000 kPa - 100 kPa)

= (1.74 kg/s) (0.001043 m³/kg) (14900)

= 27.04

$P_{p}$ = 27 kW

Compute heat added $q_{a}$ and heat rejected $q_{r}$ from boiler using computed enthalpies:

$q_{a}$ = ( h₃ - h₂ ) + ( h₅ - h₄ )

= ( 3159 kJ/kg - 433.04 kJ/kg ) + ( 3358 kJ/kg - 2703 kJ/kg )

= 2726 + 655

= 3381 kJ/kg

$q_{r}$ = h₆ - h₁

= 2648 kJ/kg - 417.5 kJ/kg

= 2232 kJ/kg

Compute net work

W $_{net}$ = $q_{a}$ - $q_{r}$

= 3381 kJ/kg - 2232 kJ/kg

= 1150 kJ/kg

Compute power produced by the cycle

mass flow rate = m = 1.74 kg/s

W $_{net}$ = 1150 kJ/kg

P = m * W $_{net}$

= 1.74 kg/s * 1150 kJ/kg

= 2001 kW

Compute rate of heat transfer in the reheater

Q = m * ( h₅ - h₄ )

= 1.74 kg/s * 655

= 1140 kW

Compute Thermal efficiency of this system

μ $_{t}$ = 1 - $q_{r}$ / $q_{a}$

= 1 - 2232 kJ/kg / 3381 kJ/kg

= 1 - 0.6601

= 0.34

= 34%

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e 424.8 K

Explanation:

given data

pressure p1 = 1 bar

pressure p2 = 5 bar

index k = 1.3

temperature t1 = 20°C = 293 k

to find out

final temperature t2

solution

we have given compression is reversible and has an index k

so we can say temperature is

$\frac{t2}{t1}= [\frac{p2}{p1}]^{\frac{k-1}{k} }$ ...........1

put here all these value and we get t2

$\frac{t2}{293}= [\frac{5}{1}]^{\frac{1.3-1}{1.3} }$

t2 = 424.8

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e
