A heat engine does 210 J of work per cycle while exhausting 440 J of waste heat. Part A What is the engine's thermal efficiency?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

The engine's thermal efficiency is 0.32

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency = work done ÷ quantity of heat supplied

Work done = 210 J

Quantity of heat supplied = work done + waste heat = 210 + 440 = 650 J

Thermal efficiency = 210 ÷ 650 = 0.32

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Superheatedvapor enters the turbine at 10MPa, 480°C, and the condenser pre

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa, 480°C,

From the tables of superheated steam tables; the following values are obtained

$h_1 = 3322.02 \ kJ/kg\\\\ s_1 = 6.52846 \ kJ/kg.K$

Also; from the system, the isentropic line is 1-2 in which s_2 is in wet state

$s_2 = s_{f \ 6 kpa} +xs_{fg \ 6 kpa}$

$s_2 =0.51624 + x(7.82)$

$s_2 =0.51624 + 7.82x$

From the values obtained;

$s_1 =s_2= 6.52846 \ kJ/kg.K$

Therefore;

6.52846 = 0.51624+7.82x

6.52846 - 0.51624 = 7.82 x

6.01222 = 7.82 x

x = 6.01222/7.82

x = 0.7688

The enthalpy for this process at state (s_2) can be determined as follows:

$h_2 = h _f +xh_{fg} \\ \\ h_2 = 150.15 +(0.77 \times 2415.92) \\ \\ h_2 =150.15 +( 1629.2584 ) \\ \\ h_2 =2010.4084 \ kJ/kg$

The actual enthalpy at s_2 by using the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can determined by using the expression:

$n_T = \dfrac{h_1-h_{2a}}{h_1-h_2}$

$0.8 = \dfrac{3322.02-h_{2a}}{3322.02-2010.4084}$

$0.8 = \dfrac{3322.02-h_{2a}}{1311.6116}$

$0.8 * {1311.6116}= {3322.02-h_{2a}$

$1049.28928= {3322.02-h_{2a}$

$h_{2a}= {3322.02- 1049.28928$

$h_{2a}= 2272.73072$ kJ/kg

The work pump is calculated by applying the formula:

$w_p = v_{f \ 6 kpa} (p_4-p_3)$

$w_p = 0.0010062 * (10000-6)$

$w_p = 0.0010062 *9994$

$w_p = 10.0559628 \ kJ/kg$

However;

$w_p = h_4 -h_3$

From the process;

$h_3 = h_{f(6 kpa)} = 150.15 \ kJ/kg$

$10.0559628 = h_4 - 150.15$

$10.0559628+ 150.15 = h_4$

$160.2059628= h_4$

$h_4= 160.2059628 \ kJ/kg$

The actual enthalpy at s_4 by using the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can determined by using the expression:

$n_P = \dfrac{h_4-h_{3}}{h_{4a}-h_3}$

Which of the following has nothing to do with insulating glass? Group of answer choices

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Tempered glass

Explanation:

Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled

thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension . Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (a.k.a. annealed glass) does. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.
