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

A light ray traveling through medium 1, index of refraction n1n1n_1 = 1.75, reaches the interface between medium 1 and medium 2,
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

θ₁ = 35.32°

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of medium 1 = n₁ = 1.75

refractive index of medium 2 = n₂ = 1.24

condition to describe the refracted angle

 \theta_{refracted} + \theta_{reflected}=90^0

 \theta_2 = 90^0-\theta_1...(1)

Using Snell's Law

   n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

θ₁ , θ₂ is the angle of incidence and refractive index

n₁. n₂ is the refractive index medium 1 and medium 2

   1.75 x  sin θ₁ = 1.24 x sin θ₂

From equation (1)

   1.75 x  sin θ₁ = 1.24 x sin (90-θ₁)

   1.75 sin θ₁ = 1.24 cos θ₁

      tan θ₁ = 0.708

         θ₁ = 35.32°

Hence, angle of incidence is equal to θ₁ = 35.32°

A disk of radius 25 cm spinning at a rate of 30 rpm slows to a stop over 3 seconds. what is the angular acceleration?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

α = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 0.75 rev

Explanation:

30 rev/min (2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min) = π rad/s

α = (ωf - ωi) / t = (0 - π) / 3 = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = ½αt² = ½(π/3)3² = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 1.5π rad / 2π rad/rev = 0.75 rev

Can someone please answer how to convert mass into weight?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

To find the weight of something, simply multiply its mass by the value of the local gravitational field, and you get a result in newtons (N). For example, if your mass is 50 kg (about 110 pounds), then your weight is (50) (9.8). The point that must be overwhelmingly emphasized is that weight is a force.
