Answer:

The turbine produces <u>955.53 KW</u> power.

Explanation:

Taking the turbine as a system. Applying Law of Conservation of Energy:

m(h₁ - h₂) - Heat Loss = P

where,

m = mass flow rate of steam = 1.31 kg/s

h₁ = enthalpy at state 1 (120 bar and 508°C)

h₂ = enthalpy at state 2 (50 KPa and x = 0.912)

Heat Loss = 225 KW

P = Power generated by turbine = ?

First, we find h₁ from super steam tables:

At,

T = 508°C

P = 120 bar = 12000 KPa = 12 MPa

we find that steam is in super-heated state with enthalpy:

Due to unavailibility of values in chart we approximate the state to 500° C and 12.5 MPa:

h₁ = 3343.6 KJ/kg

Now, for state 2, we have:

P = 50 KPa and x = 0.912

From saturated steam table:

h₂ = hf₂ + x(hfg₂) = 340.54 KJ/kg + (0.912)(2304.7 KJ/kg)

h₂ = 2442.4 KJ/kg

Now, using values in the conservation equation:

(1.31 kg/s)(3343.6 KJ/kg - 2442.4 KJ/kg) - 225 KW = P

<u>P = 955.53 KW</u>

Calculate the equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1
GrogVix [38]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Calculate the equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1

a) 0.01 μF

b) 0.58 μF

c) 0.060 μF

d) 0.8 μF

Answer:

The equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1 is 0.060 μF

Therefore, the correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Please refer to the attached Figure 12-1 where three capacitors are connected in series.

We are asked to find out the equivalent capacitance of this circuit.

Recall that the equivalent capacitance in series is given by

$ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{C_{1}} + \frac{1}{C_{2}} + \frac{1}{C_{3}} $

Where C₁, C₂, and C₃ are the individual capacitance connected in series.

C₁ = 0.1 μF

C₂ = 0.22 μF

C₃ = 0.47 μF

So the equivalent capacitance is

$ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{0.1} + \frac{1}{0.22} + \frac{1}{0.47} $

$ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} =  \frac{8620}{517}  $

$ C_{eq} =  \frac{517}{8620}  $

$ C_{eq} =  0.0599  $

Rounding off yields

$ C_{eq} =  0.060 \: \mu F $

The equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1 is 0.060 μF

Therefore, the correct option is (c)

According to the amortization table, Demarco and Tanya will pay a total of in interest over the life of their loan.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(Interest rate/number of payments)*$170000= interest for the first month.

Interest amounts for all the months of repayment plus $170000=Total loan cost

Explanation:

Interest is the amount you pay for taking a loan from a bank on top of the original amount borrowed.

Factors affecting how much interest is paid are; the principal amount, the loan terms, repayment schedule, the repayment amount and the rate of interest.

The interest paid=(rate of interest/number of payments to make)*principal amount borrowed.

You divide the interest with number of payments done in a year where monthly are divided by 12.Multiplying it by loan balance in the first month which is your principal amount gives the interest rate to pay for that month.

You new loan balance will be= Principal -(repayment-interest)

Do this for the period the loan should take.

Add all the interest amount to original borrowed amount to get total cost of the loan after the period of time.

Do you get a better performance using premier gasoline (Octane number 93) for your compact car?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

As we know that octane number resist the engine from knocking.If knocking can prevent that automatically the performance of engine will increases.If octane number is 100 then it means that knocking tendency in the engine is zero.So higher the octane number better will the performance of the engine.

Generally octane number is 87 but for premier gasoline is 92 or 93.

So we can say that if octane number is  93 then car will give better performance
