Answer:

Yes, it is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water that is entering at 20 °C because this temperature (20 °C) of the external cooling water is less than the saturation temperature of steam which is which is 45.81 °C, and heated by a boiler; as a result of this condition, coupled with the assumption that the turbine, pump, and interconnecting tube are adiabatic, and the condenser exchanges its heat with the external cooling river water, it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa.

What is the relative % change in P if we double the absolute temperature of an ideal gas keeping mass and volume constant?
Contact [7]

Answer:  100% (double)

Explanation:

The question tells us two important things:

  1. Mass remains constant
  2. Volume remains constant

(We can think in a gas enclosed in a  closed bottle, which is heated, for instance)

In this case we know that, as always the gas can be considered as ideal, we can apply the general equation for ideal gases, as follows:

  1. State 1 (P1, V1, n1, T1)  ⇒ P1*V1 = n1*R*T1
  2. State 2 (P2, V2, n2, T2) ⇒ P2*V2 = n2*R*T2

But we know that V1=V2 and that n1=n2, som dividing both sides, we get:

P1/P2 = T1/T2, i.e, if T2=2 T1, in order to keep both sides equal, we need that P2= 2 P1.

This result is just reasonable, because as temperature measures the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, if temperature increases, the kinetic energy will also increase, and consequently, the frequency of collisions of the molecules (which is the pressure) will also increase in the same proportion.

In a simple ideal Rankine cycle, water is used as the working fluid. The cycle operates with pressures of 2000 psi in the boiler
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressures given are relative

p1 = 2000 psi

P1 = 2014 psi = 13.9 MPa

p2 = 4 psi

P2 = 18.6 psi = 128 kPa

Values are taken from the steam pressure-enthalpy diagram

h2 = 2500 kJ/kg

If the output of the turbine has a quality of 85%:

t2 = 106 C

I consider the expansion in the turbine to adiabatic and reversible,  therefore, isentropic

s1 = s2 = 6.4 kJ/(kg K)

h1 = 3500 kJ/kg

t2 = 550 C

The work in the turbine is of

w = h1 - h2 = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency of the cycle depends on the input heat.

η = w/q1

q1 is  not a given, so it cannot be calculated.
