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

What is the amount of thermal energy needed to make 5 kg of ice at - 10 °C to
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Explanation:

By First Law of Thermodynamics, we see that amount of thermal energy (Q), in joules, is equal to the change in internal energy. From statement we understand that change in internal energy consisting in two latent components (U_{l,ice}, U_{l,steam}), in joules, and two sensible component (U_{s,w}), in joules, that is:

Q = U_{l,ice} + U_{s, w} + U_{s,ice} + U_{l,steam} (1)

By definitions of Sensible and Latent Heat, we expanded the formula:

Q = m\cdot (h_{f,w}+h_{v,w}+c_{ice}\cdot \Delta T_{ice}+c_{w}\cdot \Delta T_{w}) (2)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

h_{f,w} - Latent heat of fussion of water, in joules per kilogram.

h_{v,w} - Latent heat of vaporization of water, in joules per kilogram.

c_{ice} - Specific heat of ice, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

\Delta T_{ice} - Change in temperature of ice, measured in degrees Celsius.

\Delta T_{w} - Change in temperature of water, measured in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 5\,kg, h_{f,w} = 3.34\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}, h_{v,w} = 2.26\times 10^{6}\,\frac{J}{kg}, c_{ice} = 2.090\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, c_{w} = 4.186\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, \Delta T_{ice} = 10\,^{\circ}C and \Delta T_{w} = 100\,^{\circ}C, then the amount of thermal energy is:

Q = 15167500\,J

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

What is the wavelength of a 100 mhz radio signal?
Daniel [21]
100 MHz = 100,000,000 Hz = 10^8<span> Hz

And using basic conversions between frequencies, I've determined that the wavelength is roughly 3 meters.</span>

How will the motion of the arrow change after it leaves the bow?
Pavel [41]

The string moves to the right, as it restores its original position with the median plane of the bow. As a result, the string "pulls" on the arrow with a force F2. 2. The tip of the arrow T moves slightly to the left.

pls thank me and brainliest me
