In homes today, what is behind the reason for flashover fires occurring much more rapidly than in the past generations?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

One of the reasons why flashover fires are more prevalent today than it was in the past is that homes and furniture today are made from materials that are far more combustible than those of previous years.

Explanation:

A flashover fire is the rapid ignition and combustion of all flammable materials in an enclosed vicinity in a very short period of time.

Thirty years ago, the average escape time from a house that was on fire is about sixteen and fifty seconds...that would be approximately seventeen minutes. Presently that figure is down to four minutes.

One of the reasons identified is that the internal and external appurtenances especially furniture in use today are more combustible than those of previous years. That is, as they burn, they produce more heat and disintegrate faster.

The reason identified for this is, old houses were made of more natural materials such as real wood etc whilst the furniture and curtains in modern houses are mostly from synthetic materials.

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0$

$h_{in} = h_{out}$

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$x = 0.967$

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

$P = 200\,kPa$

$T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C$

$h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

$\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}$

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 10 MPa, 450°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit

8090 [49]

Answer:

a) The change in Kinetic energy, KE = -1.95 kJ

b) Power output, W = 10221.72 kW

c) Turbine inlet area, $A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$

Explanation:

a) Change in Kinetic Energy

For an adiabatic steady state flow of steam:

$KE = \frac{V_2^2 - V_1^2}{2} \\$ .........(1)

Where Inlet velocity, V₁ = 80 m/s

Outlet velocity, V₂ = 50 m/s

Substitute these values into equation (1)

$KE = \frac{50^2 - 80^2}{2} \\$

KE = -1950 m²/s²

To convert this to kJ/kg, divide by 1000

KE = -1950/1000

KE = -1.95 kJ/kg

b) The power output, w

The equation below is used to represent a steady state flow.

$q - w = h_2 - h_1 + KE + g(z_2 - z_1)$

For an adiabatic process, the rate of heat transfer, q = 0

z₂ = z₁

The equation thus reduces to :

w = h₁ - h₂ - KE...........(2)

Where Power output, $W = \dot{m}w$ ..........(3)

Mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 12 kg/s$

To get the specific enthalpy at the inlet, h₁

At P₁ = 10 MPa, T₁ = 450°C,

h₁ = 3242.4 kJ/kg,

Specific volume, v₁ = 0.029782 m³/kg

At P₂ = 10 kPa, $h_f = 191.81 kJ/kg, h_{fg} = 2392.1 kJ/kg$ , x₂ = 0.92

specific enthalpy at the outlet, h₂ = $h_1 + x_2 h_{fg}$

h₂ = 3242.4 + 0.92(2392.1)

h₂ = 2392.54 kJ/kg

Substitute these values into equation (2)

w = 3242.4 - 2392.54 - (-1.95)

w = 851.81 kJ/kg

To get the power output, put the value of w into equation (3)

W = 12 * 851.81

W = 10221.72 kW

c) The turbine inlet area

$A_1V_1 = \dot{m}v_1\\\\A_1 * 80 = 12 * 0.029782\\\\80A_1 = 0.357\\\\A_1 = 0.357/80\\\\A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$
