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

Speed and Motion you went from the starting line to the finish line at different rates. If you repeated the activity while carry
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

It will cause kinetic energy to increase.

Explanation:

Given that Speed and Motion you went from the starting line to the finish line at different rates.

If you repeated the activity while carrying weights but keeping your times the same, the weight carried will add up to the mass of the body.

And since Kinetic energy K.E = 1/2mv^2

Increase in the mass of the body will definitely make the kinetic energy of the body to increase.

Since the time is the same, that means the speed V is the same.

Weight W = mg

m = W/g

The new kinetic energy will be:

K.E = 1/2(M + m)v^2

This means that there will be increase in kinetic energy.

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.

A simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top
Trava [24]

Answer:

He will complete the race in total time of T = 10 s

Explanation:

Total distance moved by the sprinter in 2.14 s is given as

s = \frac{(v_{in} + v_{f})}{2} time

s = \frac{(0 + 11.2)}{2} (2.14)

s = 11.98 m

now the distance remaining to move

d = 100 - 11.98 = 88 m

now he will move with uniform maximum speed for the remaining distance

so we will have

time = \frac{d}{v}

time = \frac{88}{11.2} = 7.86 s

so the total time to complete the race is given as

T = 7.86 + 2.14 = 10 s
