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

Calculate the internal axial load at a point D if length L=7 ft. The part is subjected to loads P1=632 lbs, P2=888 lbs (applied
liraira [26]

Answer:

- 256 lbs

Explanation:

The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero

EF_x = 0; Then:

internal axial load at point D = Δ P

= -(P₂ - P₁)

= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)

= - 256 lbs

Katen [24]
The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field<span>. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force. </span>

You apply a horizontal force of 25N to push a shopping cart across the parking lot at a constant velocity. a) what is the net fo
AlekseyPX

(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

  • a is acceleration of the cart
  • m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net)  = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.
