A student proposes a complex design for a steam power plant with a high efficiency. The power plant has several turbines, pumps,

and feedwater heaters. Steam enters the first turbine at T1 (the highest temperature of the cycle) and saturated liquid exits the condenser at T7 (the lowest temperature of the cycle). The rate of heat transfer to the boiler (the only energy input to the system)is Qb. Determine the maximum possible efficiency and power output for this complex steam power plant design.

Answer:

Hello your question lacks some values here are the values

T1 = 500⁰c,  T7 = 70⁰c, Qb = 240000 kj/s

answer : A)  56%

               B) 134400 kw ≈  134.4 Mw

Explanation:

Given values

T1 (tmax) = 500⁰c = 773 k

T7(tmin) = 70⁰c = 343 k

Qb = 240000 kj/s

A) Determine the maximum possible efficiency

n_{max} = 1 - \frac{tmin}{tmax} * 100

       = 1 - ( 343 / 773 )

       = 1 - 0.44 = 0.5562 * 100 ≈ 56%

B) Determine the power output for this complex steam power plant design

p_{out} = Qb * max efficiency

      = 240000 kj/s * 56%

      = 240000 * 0.56 = 134400 kw ≈  134.4 Mw

What are the inputs and outputs of a sailboat?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

  • sailing ships were the primary means of maritime trade and transportation; exploration across the seas and oceans was reliant on sail for anything other than the shortest distances. Naval power in this period used sail to varying degrees depending on the current technology, culminating in the gun-armed sailing warships of the Age of Sail.

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

can someone help me with this engineering mechanics homework, please? I tried to solve it, but I got so confused.​
marishachu [46]

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑Fx = ma

Rx − 250 N = 0

Rx = 250 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑Fy = ma

Ry − 120 N − 300 N = 0

Ry = 420 N

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑Fz = ma

Rz − 50 N = 0

Rz = 50 N

Sum of moments about the x axis:

∑τx = Iα

Mx + (-50 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.1 m) = 0

Mx = 22 Nm

Sum of moments about the y axis:

∑τy = Iα

My = 0 Nm

Sum of moments about the z axis:

∑τz = Iα

Mz + (250 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.16 m) = 0

Mz = -30.8 Nm
