Answer:

a) W = 25.5 lbf

b) W = 150 lbf

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm

local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2

a) weight on spring scale

it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body

W = mg

W = (150 \times 5.48)\times \frac{1 lbm}{32.32 lbm. ft/s^2} = 25.5 lbf

b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity

thus W= 150 lbf

What is flow energy? Do fluids at rest possess any flow energy?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Flow energy is defined as, flow energy is the energy needed to push fluids into control volume and it is the amount of work done required to push the entire fluid. It is also known as flow work. Flow energy is not the fundamental quantities like potential and kinetic energy.

Fluid at state of rest do not possess any flow energy. It is mostly converted into internal energy as, rising in the fluid temperature.

A 600 MW power plant has an efficiency of 36 percent with 15
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

401.3 kg/s

Explanation:

The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).

qw = 0.85 * q2

q2 = 0.64 * q1

p = 0.36 * q1

q1 = p /0.36

q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW

In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)

The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:

SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg

So, to dissipate 907 MW

G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s

The exhaust steam from a power station turbine is condensed in a condenser operating at 0.0738 bar(abs). The surface of the heat
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Percentage change 5.75 %.

Explanation:Given ;

Given

 Pressure of condenser =0.0738 bar

Surface temperature=20°C

Now from steam table

Properties of steam at 0.0738 bar  

Saturation temperature corresponding to saturation pressure =40°C      

 h_f= 167.5\frac{KJ}{Kg},h_g= 2573.5\frac{KJ}{Kg}

So Δh=2573.5-167.5=2406 KJ/kg

Enthalpy of condensation=2406 KJ/kg

So total heat=Sensible heat of liquid+Enthalpy of condensation

Total\ heat\ =C_p\Delta T+\Delta h

Total heat =4.2(40-20)+2406

Total heat=2,544 KJ/kg

Now film coefficient before inclusion of sensible heat

  h_1=\dfrac{\Delta h}{\Delta T}

  h_1=\dfrac{2406}{20}

h_1=120.3\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}

Now film coefficient after inclusion of sensible heat

 h_2=\dfrac{total\ heat}{\Delta T}

 h_2=\dfrac{2,544}{20}

h_2=127.2\frac{KJ}{kg-m^2K}

So\ Percentage\ change=\dfrac{h_2-h_1}{h_1}\times 100

             =\dfrac{127.2-120.3}{120.3}\times 100

                   =5.75 %

So Percentage change 5.75 %.
