Answer:
t = 1.09 s.
Explanation:
This is a one-dimensional kinematics question, so the equations of kinematics will be sufficient to solve the question.
This quadratic equation can be solved using determinant.
Of course, we will choose the positive time.
Answer:
- the power to the air is 850 MW
- mass flow rate of the air is 84577.11 kg/s
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Net power generated; = 150 MW
Heat input; = 1000 MW
Power to air = ?
For closed cycles
Power to air Q₀ = Heat input; - Net power generated;
we substitute
Power to air Q₀ = 1000 - 150
Q₀ = 850 MW
Therefore, the power to the air is 850 MW
given that ΔT = 10 °C
mass flow rate of air required will be;
⇒ Q₀ / CpΔT
we know that specific heat of air at p=c ; Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K
we substitute
⇒ ( 850 × 10³ ) / [ 1.005 × 10 ]
⇒ ( 850 × 10³ ) / 10.05
⇒ 84577.11 kg/s
Therefore, mass flow rate of the air is 84577.11 kg/s
