A commonly used strategy to improve the efficiency of a power plant is to withdraw steam from the turbine before it fully expand

s, reheat it in the boiler and send it to another turbine. Consider a case where 1 kg/s steam enters a turbine at 5MPa, 500 °C, and is expanded to 1 MPa pressure. At this point, the steam is withdrawn from the turbine, reheated back to 500 °C at constant pressure, and then expanded in another turbine to 50 kPa pressure. Calculate (a) The temperature at which steam was sent back for reheating, (b) Heat added during the reheati

A train starts from rest at station A and accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2 for 60 s. Afterwards it travels with a constant velocity for
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=55.620\: km  

Explanation:

Let's find the distance that the train traveled during 60 seconds.

x_{1}=x_{0}+v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}

We know that starts from rest (v(0)=0) and the acceleration is 0.6 m/s², so the distance will be:

x_{1}=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(60)^{2}

x_{1}=1080\: m

Now, we need to find the distance after 25 min at a constant speed. To get it, we need to find the speed at the end of the first distance.

v_{1}=v_{0}+at

v_{1}=(0.6)(60)=36\: m/s

Then the second distance will be:

x_{2}=v_{1}*1500

x_{2}=(36)(1500)=54000\: m        

The final distance is calculated whit the decelerate value:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{1}^{2}-2ax_{3}

The final velocity is zero because it rests at station B. The initial velocity will be v(1).

0=36^{2}-2(1.2)x_{3}

x_{3}=\frac{36^{2}}{2(1.2)}  

x_{3}=540\: m

Therefore, the distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}  

x_{A-B}=1080+54000+540=55.620\: km  

I hope it helps you!

Determine the design moment strength for a W21x73 steel beam with a simple span of 18 ft when lateral bracing for the compressio
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Determine the design moment strength (ϕMn) for a W21x73 steel beam with a simple span of 18 ft when lateral bracing for the compression flange is provided at the ends only (i.e., Lb = 18 ft). Report the result in kip-ft.

Use Fy=50 ksi and assume Cb=1.0 (if needed).

Answer: the design moment strength for the W21x73 steel beam is 566.25 f-ft

Explanation:

Given that;

section  W 21 x 73 steel beam;

now from the steel table table for this section;

Zx = Sx = 151 in³

also given that; fy = 50 ksi and Cb = 1.0

QMn = 0.9 × Fy × Zx

so we substitute

QMn = 0.9 × 50 × 151

QMn = 6795 k-inch

we know that;

12inch equals 1 foot

so

QMn = 6795 k-inch / 12

QMn = 566.25 f-ft

Therefore the design moment strength for the W21x73 steel beam is 566.25 f-ft

Three identical fatigue specimens (denoted A, B, and C) are fabricated from a nonferrous alloy. Each is subjected to one of the
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B A and C

Explanation:

Given:

Specimen         σ_{max}                      σ_{min}

A                       +450                      -150

B                       +300                      -300

C                       +500                      -200

Solution:

Compute the mean stress

σ_{m} =  (σ_{max}  +  σ_{min})/2

σ_{mA} =  (450 + (-150)) / 2

       =  (450 - 150) / 2  

       = 300/2

σ_{mA} = 150 MPa

σ_{mB}  = (300 + (-300))/2

        = (300 - 300) / 2

        = 0/2  

σ_{mB}  = 0 MPa

 

σ_{mC}  = (500 + (-200))/2

        = (500 - 200) / 2

        = 300/2

σ_{mC}  = 150 MPa  

Compute stress amplitude:

σ_{a} =  (σ_{max}  -  σ_{min})/2    

σ_{aA} =  (450 - (-150)) / 2

       =  (450 + 150) / 2

       = 600/2

σ_{aA} = 300 MPa

σ_{aB} =  (300- (-300)) / 2

       =  (300 + 300) / 2

       = 600/2

σ_{aB}  = 300 MPa

σ_{aC}  = (500 - (-200))/2

        = (500 + 200) / 2

        = 700 / 2

σ_{aC}   = 350 MPa

From the above results it is concluded that the longest  fatigue lifetime is of specimen B because it has the minimum mean stress.

Next, the specimen A has the fatigue lifetime which is shorter than B but longer than specimen C.

In the last comes specimen C which has the shortest fatigue lifetime because it has the higher mean stress and highest stress amplitude.

Explain all the characteristics of computer<br>​
Sedaia [141]
They are as follows-

Speed
Accuracy
Storage
Versatility
Diligence
Automation
Reliability
Power of Remembering

Let us understand each characteristic in brief:-

Speed – Speed of a computer means the time it takes to complete any given task. The computer works at a very lightning speed. For example, a computer takes a second to calculate 3 million calculations rather than a human which takes years. Hence nowadays the speed of the computer is measured in terms of microseconds, Nanoseconds, and even in Pico seconds instead of seconds or milliseconds.


Accuracy – The computers are programmed and designed in such a manner that their results are almost 100% accurate. It performs all the tasks with the same accuracy. There are very few chances of uncertainty in results and even though an error occurs, it can happen either due to wrong input data or unreliable programs by a programmer. Such errors are referred to as Garbage In Garbage Out (GIGO) which means, if you provide wrong instructions to the computer then you get wrong results.


Versatility – Along with being accurate and diligent a computer is also a versatile device. It can perform several types of tasks at a time if they are reduced to a certain set of logical steps. A computer can be used for many purposes at different places such as booking air and rail tickets, weather forecasting, listening to music, and playing games. Also at a time, one can pay his utility bills and can make a monthly budget too. It can prepare documents, data sheets and also can make models of houses, dams, etc.
Diligence – The ability of a computer to perform tasks without getting tired is known as diligence. Computers are highly reliable, they do not get fed up, exhausted, or lack concentration. They can work for hours and hours unlike humans and can give accurate or error-free results. For example, humans will start feeling tired after 2 -3 hours and will lack concentration whereas a computer will keep on working until the results are achieved.
Automation – Automation means working automatically. A computer can work on its own without the intervention of the person using it. Programs can be made for the computer to perform the task and based on the sequence it executes the tasks and gives accurate results. In case an error occurs, it gives error messages too and registers the logs.
Reliability – High reliability of a computer depends on low failure rate and easy maintenance. The results given out by the computer are reliable as the accuracy is almost 100%.
Power of Remembering – The computer has the power of storing data or information for several years. It cannot lose the data on its own. A person can retrieve the data whenever required and the data remains the same after a number of years also. It gives the freedom to the user to decide on how much data to store and how much to remove.

A car moves along a circular track of radius 250 ft such that its seed for a short period of time 0&lt;_ t &lt;_ 4s, is v = 3(t
beks73 [17]

Answer: a) -5 ft/s²

B) 4.5 ft

Explanation: Radius= 250ft

Velocity V = 3(t-t²)ft/s

A). When t= 3 s, the acceleration is

dv/dt = 1-2t

dv/dt = 1- 2(3)

= 1-6

= -5 ft/s²

B. How far it traveled in 3 sec

Distance= 3t²/2 -t³/3 ft

Substituting 3

Distance = 27/2 - 9

= 13.5 - 9

= 4.5 ft
