Answer:

Output of plant=207.18 MW

Explanation:

Given input energy Q=450 MW

Brayton cycle efficiency\eta_1=24%

Rankine cycle efficiency \eta_2=29%

Combined efficiency for two cycle given as follow

\eta _b=\eta _1+\eta _2-\eta _1\eta _2

\eta _b=0.24+0.29-0.24\times 0.29

\eta_b=0.4604

We know that efficiency \eta =\dfrac{out\ put}{in\ put}

out put of plant=450\times 0.4604

So output of plant=207.18 MW

Answer:

Outside temperature =88.03°C

Explanation:

Conductivity of air-soil from standard table

   K=0.60 W/m-k

To find temperature we need to balance energy

Heat generation=Heat dissipation

Now find the value

We know that for sphere

q=\dfrac{2\pi DK}{1-\dfrac{D}{4H}}(T_1-T_2)

Given that q=500 W

so

500=\dfrac{2\pi 2\times .6}{1-\dfrac{2}{4\times 10}}(T_1-25)

By solving that equation we get

T_2=88.03°C

So outside temperature =88.03°C

Define extensive and intensive properties of thermodynamic system.
Flura [38]

Answer:

An intense property is a physical attribute of a system that is independent of the size of the system or the quantity of material it contains. An extensive property of a system, on the other hand, is dependent on the size of the system or the amount of material in it.

Four kilograms of carbon monoxide (CO) is contained in a rigid tank with a volume of 1 m3. The tank is fitted with a paddle whee
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 1 m^3/Kg  

b) 504 kJ

c) 514 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

-The mass of C_o2 = 1 kg  

-The volume of the tank V_tank = 1 m^3  

-The added energy E = 14 W  

-The time of adding energy t = 10 s  

-The increase in specific internal energy Δu = +10 kJ/kg  

-The change in kinetic energy ΔKE = 0 and The change in potential energy  

ΔPE =0  

<u>Required  </u>

(a)Specific volume at the final state v_2

(b)The energy transferred by the work W in kJ.  

(c)The energy transferred by the heat transfer W in kJ and the direction of  

the heat transfer.  

Assumption  

-Quasi-equilibrium process.  

<u>Solution</u>  

(a) The volume and the mass doesn't change then, the specific volume is constant.

 v= V_tank/m ---> 1/1= 1 m^3/Kg  

(b) The added work is defined by.  

W =E * t --->  14 x 10 x 3600 x 10^-3 = 504 kJ  

(c) From the first law of thermodynamics.  

Q - W = m * Δu

Q = (m * Δu) + W--> (1 x 10) + 504 = 514 kJ

The heat have (+) sign the n it is added to the system.

Two fluids, A and B exchange heat in a counter – current heat exchanger. Fluid A enters at 4200C and has a mass flow rate of 1 k
Volgvan

Answer:

Your question has some missing information below is the missing information

Given that ( specific heat of fluid A = 1 kJ/kg K and specific heat of fluid B = 4 kJ/kg k )

answer : 300 kW , 95°c

Explanation:

Given data:

Fluid A ;

Temperature of Fluid ( Th1 )  = 420° C

mass flow rate (mh)  = 1 kg/s

Fluid B :

Temperature ( Tc1) = 20° C

mass flow rate ( mc ) = 1 kg/s

effectiveness of heat exchanger = 75% = 0.75

<u>Determine the heat transfer rate and  exit temperature of fluid</u> <u>B</u>

Cph = 1000 J/kgk

Cpc = 4000 J/Kgk

Given that the exit temperatures of both fluids are not given we will apply the NTU will be used to determine the heat transfer rate and exit temperature of fluid B

exit temp of fluid  B = 95°C

heat transfer = 300 kW

attached below is a the detailed solution
