Answer:

2.5mA

Explanation:

The principle of superposition states that

instead of having to solve for the voltage/current through a resistor when all the power source are there, you're allowed to solve for the voltage/current through a resistor for each independent source separately and add them up in the end later for the final result.

General Step of Solving:

Choose which resistor you're trying to solve for.
Pick one of the power source and keep it on. Turn all other power sources off. Then solve for the voltage/current through the resistor of your choice.
Repeat step 2 for the other remaining power source.
Add up all the voltage/current that you found.

So.

1.) Solve for voltage through the 1k resistor when only the 15V source is on. i.e. turn off the 10V source.

2.) Solve for voltage through the 1k resistor when only the 10V source is on. i.e. turn off the 15V source.

3.) Add up the two voltage you found together.

You should get V_1k = 2.5V

so the Current through it must be I_1k = 2.5/1k = .0025A = 2.5mA

Give the approximate temperature (in K) at which creep deformation becomes an important consideration for each of the following

andrezito [222]

Answer:

691K, 543K, 725K, 1473K, 240K, 373K

Explanation:

Creep deformation of any metal is the transformational tendency of a metal to distort rapidly or slowly when attacked by any form of mechanical stress. The temperature significant for a metal to deform is gotten by the division of the actual temperature of the metal by its melting point. This is termed homologous temperature which is 0.4 or higher. It is calculated by the equation:

0.4Tm

Therefore for the listed metals...

For Nickel, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1455 + 273) = 691 K

For Copper, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1085 + 273) = 543 K

For Iron, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1538 + 273) = 725 K

For Tungsten, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(3410 + 273) = 1473 K

For Lead, 0.4Tm = 0.4 × (327 + 273) = 240 K

For Aluminium, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(660 + 273) = 373 K

A compressible clay layer has a thickness of 3.8 m. After 1.5 yr, when the clay is 50% consolidated, 7.3 cm of settlement has oc

grigory [225]

The amount of settlement that would occur at the end of 1.5 year and 5 year are 7.3 cm and 13.14 cm respectively.

<h3>How to determine the amount of settlement?</h3>

For a layer of 3.8 m thickness, we were given the following parameters:

U = 50% = 0.5.

Sc = 7.3 cm.

For Sf, we have:

Sf = Sc/U

Sf = 7.3/0.5

Sf = 14.6

Therefore, Sf for a layer of 38 m thickness is given by:

Sf = 14.6 × 38/3.8

Sf = 146 cm.

At 50%, the time for a layer of 3.8 m thickness is: $t_{50}$ = 1.5 year.

At 50%, the time for a layer of 38 m thickness is:

$t_{50}$ = 1.5 × (38/3.8)²

$t_{50}$ = 150 years.

For the thickness of 38 m, U₂ is given by:

$\frac{U_1^2}{U_2^2} =\frac{(T_v)_1}{(T_v)_2} = \frac{t_1}{t_2} \\\\U_2^2 = U_1^2 \times [\frac{t_2}{t_1} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.5^2 \times [\frac{1.5}{150} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.25 \times 0.01\\\\U_2=\sqrt{0.0025} \\\\U_2=0.05$

The new settlement after 1.5 year is:

Sc = U₂Sf

Sc = 0.05 × 146

Sc = 7.3 cm.

For time, t₂ = 5 year:

$U_2^2 = U_1^2 \times [\frac{t_2}{t_1} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.5^2 \times [\frac{5}{150} ]\\\\U_2^2 = 0.25 \times 0.03\\\\U_2=\sqrt{0.0075} \\\\U_2=0.09$

The new settlement after 5 year is:

Sc = U₂Sf

Sc = 0.09 × 146

Sc = 13.14 cm.

A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550°C at a rate

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A) condenser pressure = 9.73 kPa,

B) 10242 kw

C) 36.9%

Explanation:

given data

entrance pressure of steam = 12.5 MPa

temperature of steam = 550⁰c

flow rate of steam = 7.7 kg/s

outer pressure = 2 MPa

reheated steam temperature = 450⁰c

isentropic efficiency of turbine( nt ) = 85% = 0.85

isentropic efficiency of pump = 90% = 0.90

From steam tables

at 12.5 MPa and 550⁰c ; h3 = 3476.5 kJ/kg, S3 = 6.6317 kJ/kgK

also for an Isentropic expansion

S4s = S3 .

therefore when S4s = 6.6317 kJ/kg and P4 = 2 MPa

h4s = 2948.1 kJ/kg

nt = 0.85

nt (0.85) = $\frac{h3-h4}{h3-h4s}$ = $\frac{3476.5 - h4}{3476.5 - 2948.1}$

making h4 subject of the equation

h4 = 3476.5 - 0.85 (3476.5 - 2948.1)

h4 = 3027.3 kj/kg

at P5 = 2 MPa and T5 = 450⁰c

h5 = 3358.2 kj/kg, s5 = 7.2815 kj/kgk

at P6 , x6 = 0.95 and s5 = s6

using nt = 0.85 we can calculate for h6 and h6s

from the chart attached below we can see that

p6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kj/kg

B) the net power output

solution is attached below

c) thermal efficiency

thermal efficiency = 1 - $\frac{qout}{qin}$ = 1 - ( 2273.7/ 3603.8) = 36.9% ≈ 37%
