Consider a regenerative gas-turbine power plant with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The overall pressure

ratio of the cycle is 9. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300 K and each stage of the turbine at 1200 K. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine the minimum mass flow rate of air needed to develop a net power output of 105 MW.

Answer: the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Explanation:

from the T-S diagram, we get the overall pressure ratio of the cycle is 9

Calculate the pressure ratio in each stage of compression and expansion. P1/P2 = P4/P3  = √9 = 3

P5/P6 = P7/P8  = √9 =3  

get the properties of air from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

At temperature T1 =300K

Specific enthalpy of air h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr1 = 1.3860  

At temperature T5 = 1200 K

Specific enthalpy h5 = 1277.79 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr5 = 238  

Calculate the relative pressure at state 2

Pr2 = (P2/P1) Pr5

Pr2 =3 x 1.3860 = 4.158  

get the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 2 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.  

Relative pressure pr = 4.153

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 411.12 kJ/kg  

Relative pressure pr = 4.522

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 421.26 kJ/kg  

Find the specific enthalpy of state 2 by the method of interpolation

(h2 - 411.12) / ( 421.26 - 411.12) =  

(4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153 )

h2 - 411.12 = (421.26 - 411.12) ((4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153))  

h2 - 411.12 = 0.137

h2 = 411.257kJ/kg  

Calculate the relative pressure at state 6.

Pr6 = (P6/P5) Pr5

Pr6 = 1/3 x 238 = 79.33  

Obtain the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 6 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.  

Relative pressure Pr = 75.29

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 932.93 kJ/kg  

Relative pressure pr = 82.05

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 955.38 kJ/kg  

Find the specific enthalpy of state 6 by the method of interpolation.

(h6 - 932.93) / ( 955.38 - 932.93) =  

(79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

(h6 - 932.93) = ( 955.38 - 932.93) ((79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

h6 - 932.93 = 13.427

h6 = 946.357 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work input of the first and second stage compressors

(Wcomp)in = 2(h2 - h1 ) = 2( 411.257 - 300.19 )

= 222.134 kJ/kg  

Calculate the total work output of the first and second stage turbines.

(Wturb)out = 2(h5 - h6) = 2( 1277.79 - 946.357 )

= 662.866 kJ/kg  

Calculate the net work done

Wnet = (Wturb)out  - (Wcomp)in

= 662.866 - 222.134

= 440.732 kJ/kg  

Calculate the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW

W = m × Wnet

(105 x 10³) kW = m(440.732 kJ/kg)

m = (105 x 10³) / 440.732

m = 238.2 kg/s

therefore the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Suppose there are 76 packets entering a queue at the same time. Each packet is of size 5 MiB. The link transmission rate is 2.1
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

938.7 milliseconds

Explanation:

Since the transmission rate is in bits, we will need to convert the packet size to Bits.

1 bytes = 8 bits

1 MiB = 2^20 bytes = 8 × 2^20 bits

5 MiB = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits.

The formula for queueing delay of <em>n-th</em> packet is :  (n - 1) × L/R

where L :  packet size = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits, n: packet number = 48 and R : transmission rate =  2.1 Gbps = 2.1 × 10^9 bits per second.

Therefore queueing delay for 48th packet = ( (48-1) ×5 × 8 × 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9

queueing delay for 48th packet = (47 ×40× 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9

queueing delay for 48th packet = 0.938725181 seconds

queueing delay for 48th packet = 938.725181 milliseconds = 938.7 milliseconds

The following scenarios are pertinent to driving conditions that one may encounter. See the following rules of driving.

<h3>What do you do when the car is forced into the guardrail?</h3>

Best response:

  • I'll keep my hands on the wheel and slow down gradually.
  • The reason I keep my hands on the steering wheel is to avoid losing control.
  • This will allow me to slowly back away from the guard rail.
  • The next phase is to gradually return to the fast lane.
  • Slamming on the brakes at this moment would result in a collision with the car behind.

Scenario 2: When driving on a wet road and the car begins to slide

Best response:

  • It is not advised to accelerate.
  • Pumping the brakes is not recommended.
  • Even lightly depressing and holding down the brake pedal is not recommended.
  • The best thing to do is take one foot off the gas pedal.
  • There should be no severe twists at this time.

Scenario 3: When you are in slow traffic and you hear the siren of an ambulance behind

Best response:

  • The best thing to do at this moment is to go to the right side of the lane and come to a complete stop.
  • This helps to keep the patient in the ambulance alive.
  • It also provide a clear path for the ambulance.
  • Moving to the left is NOT recommended.
  • This will exacerbate the situation. If there is no place to park on the right shoulder of the road, it is preferable to stay in the lane.
