Answer:
a) ≈ 30 mins
b) 8 vpm
Explanation:
<u>a) Determine how long after the first vehicle arrival will the queue dissipate</u>
The time after the arrival of the first vehicle for the queue to dissipate
= 29.9 mins ≈ 30 mins
<u>b) Determine the average service rate at the parking lot gate </u>
U = A / t
where : A = 240 vehicles , t = 30
U = 240 / 30 = 8 Vpm
attached below is a detailed solution of the given problems above
Answer:
a)
b) %
Explanation:
A) First, let's write the energy balance:
(The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).
The Cp of air is: 1.004 And its specific R constant is 0.287
.
The only unknown from the energy balance is , so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.
B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:
Where is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because
can be obtained from the energy balance
An entropy change for an ideal gas with constant Cp is given by:
You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.
For the isentropic process the equation is:
Applying logarithm properties:
Then,
So, now it is possible to calculate :
Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:
%
Answer:
The solution for this question is attached below:
