Answer:

40.8%

Explanation:

A rankine cycle is a generation cycle using water as a working fluid, when heat enters the boiler the water undergoes a series of changes in state and energy until generating power through the turbine.

This cycle is composed of four main components, the boiler, the pump, the turbine and the condenser as shown in the attached image

To solve any problem regarding the rankine cycle, enthalpies in all states must be calculated using the thermodynamic tables and taking into account the following.

• The pressure of state 1 and 4 are equal

• The pressure of state 2 and 3 are equal

• State 1 is superheated steam

• State 2 is in saturation state

• State 3 is saturated liquid at the lowest pressure

• State 4 is equal to state 3 because the work of the pump is negligible.

Once all enthalpies are found, the following equations are used using the first law of thermodynamics

Wout = m (h1-h2)

Qin = m (h1-h4)

Win = m (h4-h3)

Qout = m (h2-h1)

The efficiency is calculated as the power obtained on the heat that enters

Efficiency = Wout / Qin

Efficiency = (h1-h2) / (h1-h4)

first we calculate the enthalpies in all states

h1=3386kJ/Kg

h2=2073kJ/Kg

h2=h3=167.5kJ/Kg

we use the efficiency ecuation

Efficiency =\frac{(h1-h2) }{(h1-h4)}  =\frac{3386-2073}{3386-167.5} =0.408=40.8%

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s

\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj

For water,

\Delta T=10^{\circ}C

(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒  m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\

⇒  13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84

⇒  M_{w}=330 \ kg/s

It is easy to say that an organization should hire, reward, and dismiss employees based on their character as well as their know
Nata [24]

It is possible to generate a policy in which common points such as those mentioned above are agreed in order to hire or fire employees in their function of their psychological personality, that is, the character of knowledge and skills. Depending on the company, Test could be created in order to evaluate the psychological skills of the employees, as well as Test to periodically determine how their employees are kept up to date with regard to knowledge. The cumulative filter could be done every semester, for which each employee must exceed a minimum margin of score on these tests, otherwise his position could be at risk.

At the same time, incentives can be generated for the best scores that are rewarded not only with monetary values but also with rest days, coupons in restaurants or sports, which would cause the worker to strive to be constantly learning.

This policy agreement is outside the vision and mission of the company, and whose information must be given to the worker once he begins his work activities.

If two statements are inconsistent with each other, at least one of them must be false. a)-True b)-False
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a)- True

Explanation:

If two statements are inconsistent with each other it means that they are not telling the same, if they are not telling the same it means that only one of them COULD be true, but there is a third option where the two statements are wrong and non statement is telling the true...so:

If we have two statements inconsistent with each other, AT LEAST one of the statements is false.

Write a program that prompts the user to input a sequence of characters and outputs the number of vowels.(Use the function isVow
NISA [10]

Answer:

This is the code:

Explanation:

count_vowels.cpp

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

//functions declared

bool isVowel(char ch);

int main ()

{

  string letters;

  int num = 0;

  int len;

  cout<<"Enter a sequence of characters: ";

  getline(cin, letters);

  len = letters.length();

  for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)

  {

      if (isVowel(letters[i]))

          num++;

  }

  cout << "There are "<<num<<" vowels in this sentence."<<endl;

  //this keeps the prompt console from closing

  system ("pause");

  // this adds butter to the potatoes

  return 0;

}// closing main function

// function to identify vowels

bool isVowel(char ch)

{

// make it lower case so we don't have to compare

// to both 'a' and 'A', 'e' and 'E', etc.

char ch2 = tolower(ch);

return ch2 == 'a' || ch2 == 'e' || ch2 == 'i' || ch2 == 'o' || ch2 == 'u';

}

Answer:

20.87 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for dynamic pressure is given as;

q= 1/2*ρ*v²

where ;

q=dynamic pressure

ρ = density of fluid

v = velocity of fluid

First find v by applying the formula for flow rate as;

Q = v*A   where ;

Q= fluid flow rate

v = flow velocity

A= cross-sectional area.

A= cross-sectional vector area of the pipe given by the formula;

A= πr² = 3.14 * 4² = 50.27 in²   where r=radius of pipe obtained from the diameter given divided by 2.

Q = fluid flow rate = 105 gpm----change to m³/s as

1 gpm = 0.00006309

105 gpm = 105 * 0.00006309 = 0.006624 m³/s

A= cross-sectional vector area = 50.27 in² -------change to m² as:

1 in² = 0.0006452 m²

50.27 in² = 50.27 * 0.0006452 = 0.03243 m²

Now calculate flow velocity as;

Q =v * A

Q/A = v

0.006624 m³/s / 0.03243 m² =v

0.2043 m/s = v

Now find the dynamic pressure q given as;

q= 1/2 * ρ*v²

q= 1/2 * 1000 * 0.2043² = 20.87 Pa
