Answer:

49.484 m³ / s

Explanation:

Volume flow rate = Power in W / (efficiency × density × height × acceleration due to gravity)

Volume flow rate = 100 × 10⁶ / ( 1 × 1000 kg/m³ × 206 m × 9.81 m/s²)

V = 49.484 m³ / s

Answer:

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Explanation:

For a case of 100% efficiency, the power produced must be equal to the rate of potential energy conversion

GIVEN THAT

Power = 100 MW

rate of Potential energy = (m')*g*h

100*10^6 = (m')*9.81*206

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Art [367]

Answer:

you have only seconds in which a person will accept or reject an employee or firm

Explanation:

First impression matters that's why when looking for employment with an organisation, lack of a tie for men may lead to automatic rejection. You have to be smart both intellectually and physically. Therefore, it means that you have only seconds in which a person will accept or reject an employee or firm.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

a. 2x/3

b. 8

Explanation:

fundamental period can be defined to mean that at after every period of 2π radians or 360° the value of graph is repeated. For such functions the fundamental period is the period after which they repeat themselves.

It van also be looked as The fundamental period of cos(θ) is 2π. That is (for example) cos(0) to cos(2π) represents one full period.

Your Java program will be reading input from a file name strInput.txt. Each record contains String firstname String lastName Str
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The program requires that you have the specified input files and it reads from each file at a time and processes salary in digits, states the city, state and bonus with respective first and last name as requested in the question. Note that you must have access to the mentioned output files for the program to work properly. Below is the java version of the program.

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.util.Scanner;

class Driver

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("strInput.txt"));

PrintWriter pd = new PrintWriter(new File("strOutputD"));

PrintWriter prf = new PrintWriter(new File("strOutputRF"));

String firstname = "", lastname = "", strSalary = "", status = "", cityState = "", city = "", state = "";

double salary = 0, bonus = 0;

int incorrectRecords = 0;

int dRecords = 0;

int fRecords = 0;

while(sc.hasNextLine())

{

firstname = sc.next();

lastname = sc.next();

strSalary = sc.next();

status = sc.next();

cityState = sc.next();

if(!status.equals("D") && !status.equals("F"))

{

System.out.println("Records is neither D nor F. Skipping this...");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

else if(status.equals("D") || status.equals("F"))

{

char c = ' ';

int i = 0;

for(i=0; i<strSalary.length() && c != '.'; i++)

{

c = strSalary.charAt(i);

if(!Character.isDigit(c))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

}

if(c == '.')

{

if(i+1 == strSalary.length()-1)

{

if(!Character.isDigit(strSalary.charAt(i)))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

if(!Character.isDigit(strSalary.charAt(i+1)))

{

System.out.println("Char at position " + (i+1+1) + " in salary is not a digit");

incorrectRecords++;

continue;

}

}

else

{

System.out.println("Period is in the wrong position. Expected at " + (strSalary.length()-3) + " but found at " + (i+1));

continue;

}

}

city = cityState.split(",")[0];

state = cityState.split(",")[1];

salary = Double.parseDouble(strSalary);

if(status.equals("D"))

{

bonus = salary * 0.125;

dRecords++;

pd.write(firstname + " " + lastname + " " + status + " " + salary + " " + bonus + " " + city + " " + state);

}

else

{

bonus = salary * 0.18;

fRecords++;

prf.write(firstname + " " + lastname + " " + status + " " + salary + " " + bonus + " " + city + " " + state);

}

}

}

System.out.println("No of D records : " + dRecords);

System.out.println("No of F records : " + fRecords);

System.out.println("No of incorrect records : " + incorrectRecords);

}

Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1040 K, 278 kPa and exits at 120 kPa. The mass flow ra
gladu [14]

Answer:

a) T_{2}=837.2K

b) e=91.3 %

Explanation:

A) First, let's write the energy balance:

W=m*(h_{2}-h_{1})\\W=m*Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})  (The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).

The Cp of air is: 1.004 \frac{kJ}{kgK} And its specific R constant is 0.287 \frac{kJ}{kgK}.

The only unknown from the energy balance is T_{2}, 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.

T_{2}=T_{1}+\frac{W}{mCp}=1040K-\frac{1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}*1.004\frac{kJ}{kgk}} \\T_{2}=837.2K

B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}

Where {h_{2s} 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 h_{2}-h_{1} can be obtained from the energy balance  \frac{W}{m}=h_{2}-h_{1}

h_{2}-h_{1}=\frac{-1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}}=-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}

An entropy change for an ideal gas with  constant Cp is given by:

s_{2}-s_{1}=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})

You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.

For the isentropic process the equation is:

0=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})\\Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})

Applying logarithm properties:

ln((\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R} )=ln((\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp} )\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp}\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})\\T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}

Then,

T_{2}=1040K(\frac{120kPa}{278kPa})^{0.287/1.004}=817.96K

So, now it is possible to calculate h_{2s}-h_{1}:

h_{2s}-h_{1}}=Cp(T_{2s}-T_{1}})=1.004\frac{kJ}{kgK}*(817.96K-1040K)=-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}=\frac{-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}}{-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}}\\e=0.913=91.3 %
