efrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet.

The outlet area is 1 m2, and the inlet area is 0.5 m2. Calculate the inlet and outlet velocities when the mass flow rate is 0.75 kg/s.

Answer:

Inlet : v_i=0.0646\frac{m}{s}

Outlet:  v_o=0.171\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

1) Notation and important concepts

Flow of mass represent "the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time".

Flow rate represent "a measure of the volume of liquid that moves in a certain amount of time"

Specific volume is "the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density."

Isentropic process is a "thermodynamic process, in which the entropy of the fluid or gas remains constant".

We know that the flow of mass is given by the following expression

\dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}, where \dot{V} represent the flow rate and \upsilon the specific volume at the pressure and temperature given.

A_i=0.5m^2 is the inlet area

P_i=600Kpa pressure at the inlet area

T_i=70C temperature at the inlet area

A_o=1m^2 is the outlet area

P_o=100Kpa pressure at the outlet area

T_o=C temperature at the outlet area

\dot{m}=0.75\frac{kg}{s} represent the flow of mass

If we look at the first figure attached Table A-13 we see that the specific volume for the inlet condition is

\upsilon_i =0.04304\frac{kg}{m^3} and the entropy is h_i=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}=h_o

With the value of entropy and the outlet pressure of 100 Kpa we can find we specific volume at the outlet condition since w ehave the entropy h_o=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}

Since on the table we don't have the exact value we need to interpolate between these two values (see the second figure attached)

h_1=1.0531\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_1=0.22473\frac{kg}{m^3}

h_2=1.0829\frac{KJ}{KgK} , \upsilon_2=0.23349\frac{kg}{m^3}

Our interest value would be given using interpolation like this:

\upsilon=0.22473+\frac{(0.23349-0.22473)}{(1.0829-1.0531)}(1.0645-1.0531)=0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}

2) Solution to the problem

Now since we have all the info required to solve the problem we can find the velocities on this way.

We know from the definition of flow of mass that \dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}, but since \dot{V}=Av we have this:

\dot{m}=\frac{Av}{\upsilon}

If we solve from the velocity v we have this:

v=\frac{\upsilon \dot{m}}{A}   (*)

And now we just need to replace the values into equation (*)

For the inlet case:

v_i=\frac{\upsilon_i \dot{m}}{A_i}=\frac{0.043069\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{0.5m^2}=0.0646\frac{m}{s}

For the oulet case:

v_o=\frac{\upsilon_o \dot{m}}{A_o}=\frac{0.228\frac{kg}{m^3}(0.75\frac{kg}{s})}{1m^2}=0.171\frac{m}{s}

You are driving on the highway, and you come to a steep downhill section. As you roll down the hill, you take your foot off the
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Weight of the car, normal force, drag force

Explanation:

The forces acting on the car are:

  • The normal force which acts perpendicularly to the downhill plane
  • The weight of the car which acts vertically downwards
  • The drag force due to air resistance which acts in opposition to the motion of the car

Friction is ignored, so the force due to friction is assumed negligible

A communications channel has a bandwidth of 4,000 hz and a signal-to-noise ratio (snr of 30 db. what is the maximum possible dat
levacccp [35]
Through Shannon's Theorem, we can calculate the capacity of the communications channel using the value of its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. The capacity, C, can be expressed as 

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

where B is the bandwidth of the channel and S/N is its signal-to-noise ratio.

Since the given SN ratio is in decibels, we must first express it as a ratio with no units as

SN (in decibels) = 10 × log (S/N)
30 = 10log(S/N)
log(S/N) = 3
S/N = 10³ = 1000

Now that we have S/N, we can solve for its capacity (in bits per second) as 

C = 4000 × log₂(1 + 1000) 
C = 39868.91 bps

Thus, the maximum capacity of the channel is 39868 bps or 40 kbps.

Answer: 40 kbps

Why is permeable soil best for plants that need a lot of drainage? Water fills this type of soil. Water dries up in this type of
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Water flows through this type of soil.

Explanation:

By definition permeable soil is soil which water and other fluid flow easily through (like sand) If a plant needs drainage the soil will need to flow through the soil easily.

A planet's rotation determines the length of its day and its revolution determines the length of its year. A day on Earth is 24
Sholpan [36]

Explanation:

The speed of rotation of Venus is slower than that of Earth that is why a day on Venus is longerthan Earth's day. Whereas, Venus is closer to sun than Earth, this means Venus trajectory of revolution is smaller than that of Earth.Therefore, a year on Venus is shorter than Earth's year.
