Explanation:

The correct answers to the fill in the blanks would be;

1. Viscoelastic stress relaxation refers to scenarios for which the stress applied to a polymer must decay over time in order to maintain a constant strain. Otherwise, over time, the polymer chains will slip and slide past one another in response to a constant applied load and the strain will increase (in magnitude).

2. Viscoelastic creep refers to scenarios for which a polymer will permanently flow over time in response a constant applied stress.

The polymer whose properties have been mentioned above is commonly known as Kevlar.

It is mostly used in high-strength fabrics and its properties are because of several hydrogen bonds between polymer molecules.

Answer:

a. Wa = 73.14 Btu/lbm

b. Sgen = 0.05042 Btu/lbm °R

c. Isentropic efficiency is 70.76%

d. Minimum specific work for compressor W = -146.2698 Btu/lbm [It is negative because work is being done on the compressor]

Explanation:

Complete question is as follows;

Air initially at 120 psia and 500oF is expanded by an adiabatic turbine to 15 psia and 200oF. Assuming air can be treated as an ideal gas and has variable specific heat.

a) Determine the specific work output of the actual turbine (Btu/lbm).

b) Determine the amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process (Btu/lbm R).

c) Determine the isentropic efficiency of this turbine (%).

d) Suppose the turbine now operates as an ideal compressor (reversible and adiabatic) where the initial pressure is 15 psia, the initial temperature is 200 oF, and the ideal exit state is 120 psia. What is the minimum specific work the compressor will be required to operate (Btu/lbm)?
