Answer:

- the fraction of the turbine work output used to drive the compressor is 50%

- the thermal efficiency is 29.6%

Explanation:

given information:

T_{1} = 300 k

P_{1} = 700 kPa

T_{2} = 580 K

Qin = 950 kj/kg

efficiency, η = 86%  = 0.86

Assume, Ideal gas specific heat capacities of air, C_{p} = 1.005

k = 1.4

(a) the fraction of the turbine work output used to drive the compressor

Qin = C_{p} (T_{3} - T_{2})

T_{3} - T_{2} = Qin / C_{p}

T_{3} = Qin / C_{p} + T_{2}

thus,

T_{3} = \frac{950 kJ/kg}{1.005 kj/kgK} + 580 K
[tex]T_{3} = 1525 K

\frac{T_{4} }{T_{3} } = (\frac{P_{4} }{P_{3} }) ^{k-1/k}\

\frac{P_{4} }{P_{3} }  = \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }

so,

\frac{T_{4} }{T_{3} } = (\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) ^{k-1/k}\

T_{4} = T_{3} (\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) ^{k-1/k}\

                        = 1525 K  (\frac{100}{700} )^{1.4-1/1.4}

                        = 875 K

W_{in} = C_{p} (T_{2} - T_{1})

                          = 1.005 kj/kgK  (580 K - 300 K)

                          = 281.4 kJ/kg

W_{out} = η C_{p} (T_{3} - T_{4})

                            = 0.86 (1.005 kj/kgK) (1525 k - 875 K)

                            = 562.2 kJ/kg

therefore,

the fraction of turbine = \frac{W_{in} }{W_{out} }

                                     = \frac{281.4}{562.2}

                                     = 50%

(b) the thermal efficiency

η = ΔW/Q_{in}

  = (W_{out} - W_{in})/Q_{in}

  = \frac{562.2}{281.4}/950

  = 29.6%

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the
tatuchka [14]
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

Why does friction increase as speed increases??
kozerog [31]
Friction is directly related to air particles.

When we say that friction is high, it means that you're colliding with lots of air particles, and hence you can't speed up as easily.
Thus, the more air particles you encounter, the higher the friction.

The faster you go, the more particles you will encounter in a given time; hence at higher speeds, the friction is higher.

The density of this material is 2 g/cm3 there are 24 cm3 find the total mass
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 48 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question we have

mass = 2 × 24

We have the final answer as

<h3>48 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
