Explanation: As explained above, a Solar Day is the time it takes to the earth to rotate between to Solar Position. This time is taken as reference to calculate the day, so this times equals to 24 hours.}

However the Sideral Day is the time on which the Eart rotates between two consecutives position on a distant star. The Sideral day is shorter because both Earth Rotanting Movements are counter-clockwise.

The Earth moves around the sun and around his own axis. Because of this, the earth after doing a full rotation, needs to compensate a extra degree to face the sun at the same spot, so the movement is longer.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 60g and a volume of 2cm3?

zaharov [31]

m= 60g = 60/1000 Kg = 0.06 Kg v = 2cm3 = 2 * (0.01^3) m3 = 2 *10^-6 m3 Density= m/v = 6 * 10^-2 / 2 *10^-6 = 3 *10^4 Kg/m3

A steam Rankine cycle operates between the pressure limits of 1500 psia in the boiler and 2 psia in the condenser. The turbine i

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a. Mass flow rate through the boiler = 5.462lbm/s

b. Power produced by the turbine = 2525.8kW

c. The rate of heat supply in the boiler = 6901.42Btu/s

d. Thermal efficiency of the cycle = 34.3%

Explanation:

In order to provide a solution, we must assume that ;

- The system is operating at a steady condition

- Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible

Now from steam tables, we calculate specific volume $v$ and enthalpy $h$ as,

$h_1 = 95.96Btu/lb$ ( $h_1 = h_f$ at $2psia$ )

$v_1 = 0.016238ft^3/lb$ ( $v_1 = v_f$ at $2psia$ )

$w_{p,in} = v_1(P_2-P_1) = 0.016238(1500-2) * \frac{1}{5.404} = 4.501 Btu/lb$

$w_p = h_2 - h_1\\h_2 = w_p+h_1=4.501+95.96=100.461Btu/lb$

$h_3 = 1364.0Btu/lb$

$s_3 = 1.5073Btu/lb.R$

( at $P_3 = 1500psia$ & $T_3 = 800^0F$ )

$P_4 = 2psia\\S_4 = S_3\\x_4S = \frac{S_4-S_f}{S_{fg}}=\frac{1.5073-0.1783}{1.7374}=0.765$

( $S_f$ & $S_{fg}$ when pressure is 2psia)

$h_4S = h_f+x_4S*h_{fg}=95.96+(0.765)(1021.0)=877.025Btu/lb$

$n_T= \frac{h_3-h_4}{h_3-h_4S}\\ h_4=h_3-n_T(h_3-h_4S)=1364.0-0.90(1364.0-877.025)=925.7Btu/lb$

Therefore,

$q_{in}=h_3-h_2=1364.0-100.461=1263.54Btu/lb\\q_{out}=h_4-h_1=925.7-95.96=829.74Btu/lb\\w_{net}=q_{in}-q_{out}=1263.54-829.74=433.8Btu/lb$

To calculate the mass flow rate of steam in the cycle, we use the formula

$W_{net}=mw_{net}\\m=\frac{W_{net}}{w_{net}} =\frac{2500}{433.8}=5.763*(\frac{0.94782Btu}{1Kj} )=5.462lb/s$

where $1Kj = 0.947817 Btu$

The power output and the rate of heat addition are calculated thus,

$W_{T,out}=m(h_3-h_4)=(5.462lb/s)*(1364-925.7)Btu/lb*(\frac{1Kj}{0.94782Btu} )\\=5.462*438.3*1.055=2525.8KW$

$Q_{in}=mq_{in}=5.462(1263.54)=6901.46Btu/s$

The thermal efficiency of the cycle can be found thus;

$n_{th}=\frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}} =\frac{2500}{6901.46}*(\frac{0.94782Btu}{1Kj} ) =0.343$

= 34.3%
