Answer:

heat produced by 150 watt bulb is 510 Btu

Explanation:

Given data:

Power of bulb is 150 W

Duration for light is 20 hr

We know that 1 Watt = 3.4 Btu

hence using above conversion value we can calculate the power in Btu unit

so for $150 W\ bulb = 150\times 3.4 = 510 Btu$

therefore, 150 W bulb consist of 510 Btu power for 20 hr

output heat by 150 watt bulb is 510 Btu

Water vapor at 6 MPa, 600 degrees C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 10kPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Obtain the following properties at 6MPa and 600°C from the table "Superheated water".

$h_1=3658.8KL/Kg\\s_1=7.1693kJ/kg.k$

Obtain the following properties at 10kPa from the table "saturated water"

$h_{f2}=191.81KJ/Kg.K\\h_{fg2}=2392.1KJ/Kg\\s_{f2}=0.6492KJ/Kg.K\\s_{fg2}=7.4996KJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the enthalpy at exit of the turbine using the energy balance equation.

$\frac{dE}{dt}=Q-W+m(h_1-h_2)$

Since, the process is isentropic process $Q=0$

$0=0-W+m(h_1-h_2)\\h_2=h_1-\frac{W}{m}\\\\h_2=3658.8-\frac{2626}{2}\\\\=2345.8kJ/kg$

Use the isentropic relations:

$s_1=s_{2s}\\s_1=s_{f2}+x_{2s}s_{fg2}\\7.1693=6492+x_{2s}(7.4996)\\x_{2s}=87$

Calculate the enthalpy at isentropic state 2s.

$h_{2s}=h_{f2}+x_{2s}.h_{fg2}\\=191.81+0.87(2392.1)\\=2272.937kJ/kg$

a.)

Calculate the isentropic turbine efficiency.

$\eta_{turbine}=\frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\=\frac{3658.8-2345.8}{3658.8-2272.937}=0.947=94.7%$

b.)

Find the quality of the water at state 2

since $h_f$ at 10KPa < $h_2$ < $h_g$ at 10KPa

Therefore, state 2 is in two-phase region.

$h_2=h_{f2}+x_2(h_{fg2})\\2345.8=191.81+x_2(2392.1)\\x_2=0.9$

Calculate the entropy at state 2.

$s_2=s_{f2}+x_2.s_{fg2}\\=0.6492+0.9(7.4996)\\=7.398kJ/Kg.K$

Calculate the rate of entropy production.

$S=\frac{Q}{T}+m(s_2-s_1)$

since, Q = 0

$S=m(s_2-s_1)\\=2\frac{kg}{s}(7.398-7.1693)kJ/kg\\=0.4574kW/k$

For an Otto cycle, plot the cycle efficiency as a function of compression ratio from 4 to 16.

Elza [17]

Assumptions:

Steady state.
Air as working fluid.
Ideal gas.
Reversible process.
Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.

Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

$r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

$r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

$\eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )$

where:

$\gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio$

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

$\gamma = 1.4$
