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

Compute the thermal efficiency for an ideal gas turbine cycle that operates with a pressure ratio of 6.75 and uses helium gas.
pychu [463]

Solution:

Given:

pressure ratio, r_{p} = 6.75

Formula used:

\eta = \frac{(r_{p})^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}-1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}}\\

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma }}}         (1)

where,

r_{p} = pressure ratio

γ = specific heat ratio of a gas( here, helium gas it is 1.667)

Now,

Eqn (1 ) is for thermal efficiency of an ideal gas, using eqn (1), we get

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{6.75^{\frac{\ 1.667-1}{\ 1.667 }}}

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{2.1469} = 0.5342

percentage thermal efficiency, \eta =53.42%

The volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula
saw5 [17]

The expression of V(m³)=e^(t(s)) to make V in in³ and t in minutes is;

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

We are given that;

Volume of microbial culture is observed to increase according to the formula;

V = e^(t)

where;

t is in seconds

V is in m³

We want to now express V in in³ and t in minutes.

Now, from conversions;

1 m³ = 61024 in³

Also; 1 second = 1/60 minutes

according to formula for exponential decay, we know that;

V = ae^(bt)

Thus, we have;

61024V = ae^(¹/₆₀b(t(h))

V(in³) = (¹/₆₁₀₂₄)ae^{\frac{1}{60}bt(h)

while performing a running compression test how should running compression compare to static compression
algol [13]

Answer:

The idle speed of a running compression should be between 50-75 PSI and that is about half of the static compression.

Explanation:

The Running or Dynamic compression is used to determine how well the cylinder in an engine  is absorbing air, reserving it for the proper length of time, and releasing it to the exhaust. The static or cranking compression test is used to check the sealing of the cylinder. Before performing the running compression test, the static compression test is first performed to rule out other issues like bent valves.

The standard value for the static compression is given by;

Compression ratio * 14.7 = Manufacturers Specification

The running compression should always be half of the static compression.
