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

Answer:

Incident ray

Explanation:

"To describe the reflection of light, we will use the following terminology. The incoming light ray is called the incident ray. The light ray moving away from the surface is the reflected ray. The most important characteristic of these rays is their angles in relation to the reflecting surface."

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you
Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
