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

Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost m

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

ordinary bulb total cost is $39.54

fluorescent bulb total cost is $13.05

amount save = 39.54 - 13.05 = $26.49

resistance = 626.1 ohm

Explanation:

in the 1st part

bulb on time = 3 year = 4380 hours

life of bulb = 750 h

so number of bulb required = $\frac{4380}{750}$

number of bulb required = 6

cost of 6 bulb is = 6 × 0.75 = $4.5

so

cost of operation is = 100 × 4380 × $\frac{0.08}{1000}$

cost of operation = $35.04

so total cost will be = $4.5 + $35.04 = $39.54

and

when compare with florescent bulb

time = 3 year = 4380 h

life of bulb = 10000 h

so number of bulb required = $\frac{4380}{10000}$

number of bulb required = 0.43 = 1

cost of 6 bulb is = 1 × 5 = $5

so

cost of operation is = 23 × 4380 × $\frac{0.08}{1000}$

cost of operation = $8.05

so total cost will be = $5 + $8.05 = $13.05

in part 2nd

total amount save while compare bulb is

amount save = 39.54 - 13.05 = $26.49

and in part 3rd

resistance of bulb is

resistance = $\frac{v^2}{P}$

resistance = $\frac{120^2}{23}$

resistance = 626.1 ohm

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

COP of the heat pump is 3.013

OP of the cycle is 1.124

Explanation:

W = Q₂ - Q₁

Given

a)

Q₂ = Q₁ + W

= 15 + 7.45

= 22.45 kw

COP = Q₂ / W = 22.45 / 7.45 = 3.013

b)

Q₂ = 15 x 1.055 = 15.825 kw

therefore,

Q₁ = Q₂ - W

Q₁ = 15.825 - 7.45 = 8.375

∴ COP = Q₁ / W = 8.375 / 7.45 = 1.124

A long rod of 60-mm diameter and thermophysical properties rho= 8000 kg/m3, c= 500 J/kg·K, and k= 50 W/m·K is initially at a uni

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Tc = = 424.85 K

Explanation:

Data given:

D = 60 mm = 0.06 m

$\rho = 8000 kg/m^3$

k = 50 w/m . k

c = 500 j/kg.k

$h_{\infty} = 1000 w/m^2$

$t_{\infity} = 750 k$

$t_w = 500 K$

$surface area = As = \pi dL$

$\frac{As}{L} = \pi D = \pi \timeS 0.06$

HEAT FLOW Q is

$Q = h_{\infty} As (T_[\infty} - Tw)$

$= 1000 \pi\times 0.06 (750-500)$

= 47123.88 w per unit length of rod

volumetric heat rate

$q = \frac{Q}{LAs}$

$= \frac{47123.88}{\frac{\pi}{4} D^2 \times 1}$

$q = 1.66\times 10^{7} w/m^3$

$Tc = \frac{- qR^2}{4K} + Tw$

$= \frac{ - 1.67\times 10^7 \times (\frac{0.06}{2})^2}{4\times 56} + 500$

= 424.85 K
