Answer:

<h2>The Invention of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)</h2>

Explanation:

The internal combustion engine is an engine in which ignition and combustion take place in the engine(in one place), the invention of the ICE was an integral part of the industrial revolution, as there was increasing demand for power, and manual labor could not suffice, especially during the mid 19 century.

The ICE made it possible for tasks that demand intensive power consumption to come through to reality, it was as a result of the invention of the ICE that road transportation was made easier for mankind, as the means of transport then was the use of beast of burden, now we have cars, airplanes ship, etc, essentially the invention of ICE reduced the tedious task man would have to engage in for his daily needs

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

ΔT=  11.94 °C

Explanation:

Given that

mass of water = 10 kh

Time t= 15 min

Heat lot from water = 400  KJ

Heat input to the water = 1  KW

Heat input the water= 1 x 15 x 60

                                =900 KJ

By heat balancing

Heat supply - heat rejected = Heat gain by water

As we know that heat capacity of water

C_p=4.187 \frac{KJ}{kg-K}

Q=mC_p\Delta T

Now by putting the values

900 - 400 = 10 x 4.187 x ΔT

So  rise in temperature of water ΔT=  11.94 °C

compressors, the gas is often cooled while being compressed to reduce the power consumed by the compressor. explain how cooling
ASHA 777 [7]

The amount of work done by steady flow devices varies with the particular gas volume. The kinetic energy of gas particles decreases during cooling.

When the gas is subjected to intermediate cooling during compression, the gas specific volume is reduced, which lowers the compressor's power consumption. Compression is less adiabatic and more isothermal because the compressed gas must be cooled between stages since compression produces heat. The system's thermodynamic cycle's cold sink temperature is lowered by cooling the compressor coils. By increasing the temperature difference between the heat source and the cold sink, this improves efficiency.

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

-  The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

-  The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

                                        E_6 + E_2 = E_3

               flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

                                    y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

                                  y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y:                          y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

                             q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

                    q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b:               q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

                                       q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

                                 q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c:               q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

                                     w_net = q_b - q_c

                                w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

                                    w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

                                     flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m)          flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

                                     u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

                                     u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

                                     u = 44.48 %
