Air enters a turbine operating at steady state at 8 bar, 1600 K and expands to 0.8 bar. The turbine is well insulated, and kinet

ic and potential energy effects can be neglected. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, what is the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine in kJ per kg of air flow

Answer:

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the adiabatic process that relate the temperature and pressure variables

Mathematically this can be determined as

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}

Where

Temperature at inlet of turbine

Temperature at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

The steady flow Energy equation for an open system is given as follows:

m_i = m_0 = mm(h_i+\frac{V_i^2}{2}+gZ_i)+Q = m(h_0+\frac{V_0^2}{2}+gZ_0)+W

Where,

m = mass

m(i) = mass at inlet

m(o)= Mass at outlet

h(i)= Enthalpy at inlet

h(o)= Enthalpy at outlet

W = Work done

Q = Heat transferred

v(i) = Velocity at inlet

v(o)= Velocity at outlet

Z(i)= Height at inlet

Z(o)= Height at outlet

For the insulated system with neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects

h_i = h_0 + WW = h_i -h_0

Using the relation T-P we can find the final temperature:

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}\\

\frac{T_2}{1600K} = (\frac{0.8bar}{8nar})^{(\frac{1.4-1}{1.4})}\\ = 828.716K

From this point we can find the work done using the value of the specific heat of the air that is 1,005kJ / kgK

W = h_i -h_0W = C_p (T_1-T_2)W = 1.005(1600 - 828.716)W = 775.140kJ/Kg

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

If Light is travels from air into pure water with an incident angle of 30°. What is the angle of refraction?
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

For air, n1 = 1.00003; for water, n2 = 1.3330

Given: θ2 = 30 degrees, then

θ1 = arcsin [(n2/n1) sin θ2]

= arcsin [(1.3330/1.0003) sin (40)]

= 58.93 degrees

Note that since, in this example, light is traveling from a medium of higher density (water; n2 = 1.3330) to a medium of lower density (air; n1 = 1.0003), then n2 > n1, and the angle of refraction (θ1) is larger than the angle of incidence (θ2), thus the light bends away from the normal (in this example, the vertical) as it leaves the water and enters the air.
