A spherical steel container 3 feet in diameter is buried in a land fill. The container is filled with a chemical that keeps the

outer surface of the container at 100°F, whereas the earth's surface is at 50°F. Determine the heat transfer from the container if it is buried under 3 feet of earth.

Answer:

Q = 378.247 Bt/hr

Explanation:

given data:

diameter of container = 3 m

so r = 1.5 m

T1 = 50°C

T2 = 100°C

depth y = 3 ft

Heat transfer is given as Q

$Q = SK\Delta T$

Where

S = Shape factor for the object

$S = \frac{4\pi r}{1-\frac{r}{2y}}$

$S = \frac{4\pi *1.5}{1-\frac{1.5}{2*3}}$

S = 25.132 ft

$Q = SK\Delta T$

Q = 25.132*0.301 *(100-50)

Q = 378.247 Bt/hr

A Rankine steam power plant is considered. Saturated water vapor enters a turbine at 8 MPa and exits at condenser at 10 kPa. The

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.31

126.23 kg/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- Fluid: Water

- Turbine: P3 = 8MPa , P4 = 10 KPa , nt = 85%

- Pump: Isentropic

- Net cycle-work output, Wnet = 100 MW

Find:-

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle

- The mass flow rate of steam

Solution:-

- The best way to deal with questions related to power cycles is to determine the process and write down the requisite properties of the fluid at each state.

First process: Isentropic compression by pump

P1 = P4 = 10 KPa ( condenser and pump inlet is usually equal )

h1 = h-P1 = 191.81 KJ/kg ( saturated liquid assumption )

s1 = s-P1 = 0.6492 KJ/kg.K

v1 = v-P1 = 0.001010 m^3 / kg

P2 = P3 = 8 MPa( Boiler pressure - Turbine inlet )

s2 = s1 = 0.6492 KJ/kg.K .... ( compressed liquid )

- To determine the ( h2 ) at state point 2 : Pump exit. We need to determine the wok-done by pump on the water ( Wp ). So from work-done principle we have:

$w_p = v_1*( P_2 - P_1 )\\\\w_p = 0.001010*( 8000 - 10 )\\\\w_p = 8.0699 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- From the following relation we can determine ( h2 ) as follows:

h2 = h1 + wp

h2 = 191.81 + 8.0699

h2 = 199.88 KJ/kg

Second Process: Boiler supplies heat to the fluid and vaporize

- We have already evaluated the inlet fluid properties to the boiler ( pump exit property ).

- To determine the exit property of the fluid when the fluid is vaporized to steam in boiler ( super-heated phase ).

P3 = 8 MPa

T3 = ? ( assume fluid exist in the saturated vapor phase )

h3 = hg-P3 = 2758.7 KJ/kg

s3 = sg-P3 = 5.7450 KJ/kg.K

- The amount of heat supplied by the boiler per kg of fluid to the water stream. ( qs ) is determined using the state points 2 and 3 as follows:

$q_s = h_3 - h_2\\\\q_s = 2758.7 -199.88\\\\q_s = 2558.82 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

Third Process: The expansion ( actual case ). Turbine isentropic efficiency ( nt ).

- The saturated vapor steam is expanded by the turbine to the condenser pressure. The turbine inlet pressure conditions are similar to the boiler conditions.

- Under the isentropic conditions the steam exits the turbine at the following conditions:

P4 = 10 KPa

s4 = s3 = 5.7450 KJ/kg.K ... ( liquid - vapor mixture phase )

- Compute the quality of the mixture at condenser inlet by the following relation:

$x = \frac{s_4 - s_f}{s_f_g} \\\\x = \frac{5.745- 0.6492}{7.4996} \\\\x = 0.67947$

- Determine the isentropic ( h4s ) at this state as follows:

$h_4_s = h_f + x*h_f_g\\\\h_4_s = 191.81 + 0.67947*2392.1\\\\h_4_s = 1817.170187 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- Since, we know that the turbine is not 100% isentropic. We will use the working efficiency and determine the actual ( h4 ) at the condenser inlet state:

$h4 = h_3 - n_t*(h_3 - h_4_s ) \\\\h4 = 2758.7 - 0.85*(2758.7 - 181.170187 ) \\\\h4 = 1958.39965 \frac{KJ}{kg} \\$

- We can now compute the work-produced ( wt ) due to the expansion of steam in turbine.

$w_t = h_3 - h_4\\\\w_t = 2758.7-1958.39965\\\\w_t = 800.30034 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- The net power out-put from the plant is derived from the net work produced by the compression and expansion process in pump and turbine, respectively.

$W_n_e_t = flow(m) * ( w_t - w_p )\\\\flow ( m ) = \frac{W_n_e_t}{w_t - w_p} \\\\flow ( m ) = \frac{100000}{800.30034-8.0699} \\\\flow ( m ) = 126.23 \frac{kg}{s}$

Answer: The mass flow rate of the steam would be 126.23 kg/s

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle ( nth ) is defined as the ratio of net work produced by the cycle ( Wnet ) and the heat supplied by the boiler to the water ( Qs ):

$n_t_h = \frac{W_n_e_t}{flow(m)*q_s} \\\\n_t_h = \frac{100000}{126.23*2558.82} \\\\n_t_h = 0.31$

Answer: The thermal efficiency of the cycle is 0.31

Car B is traveling a distance dd ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the br

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the kinematics equation $v = v_o + a_ct$ to determine the velocity of car B.

where;

$v_o =$ initial velocity

$a_c$ = constant deceleration

Assuming the constant deceleration is = -12 ft/s^2

Also, the kinematic equation that relates to the distance with the time is:

$S = d + v_ot + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Then:

$v_B = 60-12t$

The distance traveled by car B in the given time (t) is expressed as:

$S_B = d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2)$

For car A, the needed time (t) to come to rest is:

$v_A = 60 - 18(t-0.75)$

Also, the distance traveled by car A in the given time (t) is expressed as:

$S_A = 60 * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2$

Relating both velocities:

$v_B = v_A$

$60-12t = 60 - 18(t-0.75)$

$60-12t =73.5 - 18t$

$60- 73.5 = - 18t+ 12t$

$-13.5 =-6t$

t = 2.25 s

At t = 2.25s, the required minimum distance can be estimated by equating both distances traveled by both cars

i.e.

$S_B = S_A$

$d + 60 t - \dfrac{1}{2}(12t^2) = 60 * 0.75 +60(t-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*(t-0.750)^2$

$d + 60 (2.25) - \dfrac{1}{2}(12*(2.25)^2) = 60 * 0.75 +60((2.25)-0.75) -\dfrac{1}{2}*18*((2.25)-0.750)^2$

d + 104.625 = 114.75

d = 114.75 - 104.625

d = 10.125 ft
