Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a veloc

ity of 150 m/s. The inlet area of the turbine is 60 cm2. If the power output of the turbine is 250 kW, determine the exit temperature of the argon.

Answer:

Temperature at the exit = 267.3 C

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

W_{out}= -m_{f}(h_{2}-h_{1} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})

Inlet area of the turbine = 60cm^{2}= 0.006m^{2}

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume v_{1}

as

v_{1}=\frac{RT_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{0.2081\times723}{900}=0.1672m^{3}/kg

m_{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}\times A_{1}V_{1} = \frac{1}{0.1672}\times(0.006)(80)=2.871kg/sec

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

h_{2}-h_{1}=C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})

hence we have

W_{out}= -m_{f}((C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1}) + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})

250= -2.871((0.5203(T_{2}-450) + \frac{150^{2}}{2\times 1000} - \frac{80^{2}}{2\times 1000})

<em>Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000</em>

evaluating the above equation, we have T_{2}=267.3C

Hence, the temperature at the exit = 267.3 C

alexdok [17]

Answer:

t=67.7s

Explanation:

From this question we know that:

Vo = 6m/s

a = 1.8 m/s2

D = 1500m

And we also know that:

X=V_{o}*t + \frac{a*t^{2}}{2}   Replacing the known values:

1500=6t+0.9*t^{2}    Solving for t we get 2 possible answers:

t1 = -44.3s   and t2 = 67.7s    Since negative time represents an instant before the beginning of the movement, t1 is discarded. So, the final answer is:

t = 67.7s

A hoop (I = MR2) of mass 3 kg and radius 1.1 m is rolling at a center-of-mass speed of 11 m/s. An external force does 842 J of w
Scilla [17]

Answer:

v_f = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Since the hoop is rolling on the floor so its total kinetic energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

now for pure rolling condition we will have

v = R\omega

also we have

I = mR^2

now we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(mR^2)\frac{v^2}{R^2}

KE = mv^2

now by work energy theorem we can say

W = KE_f - KE_i

842 J = mv_f^2 - mv_i^2

842 = 3(v_f^2) - 3\times 11^2

now solve for final speed

v_f = 20 m/s
