Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa, and saturated vapor enters the turbine at
1 answer:
Explanation:
The obtained data from water properties tables are:
Point 1 (condenser exit) @ 8 KPa, saturated fluid
Point 2 (Pump exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated fluid & @ 4 MPa, saturated fluid
Point 3 (Boiler exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated steam & @ 4 MPa, saturated steam
Point 4 (Turbine exit) @ 8 KPa, mixed fluid
Calculate mass flow rates
Part a) @ 18 MPa
mass flow
Heat transfer rate through boiler
Heat transfer rate through condenser
Thermal Efficiency
Part b) @ 4 MPa
mass flow

Answer:
Resistor B
Explanation:
Since resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit,
first let assume the two resistors are connected in parallel to the voltage, recall that when connection is in parallel, the different amount of current pass through the resistors depending on the value with the small resistor having a lower resistance effect hence higher current will pass through
The energy dissipated in each resistor can be calculated as
.
from the formula we can conclude that the energy value will be higher for the resistor with small resistance value. hence more heating effect which will cause it to be warm.
Also when connected individually the current flow from the voltage source will pass through the resistor which when we calculate the energy dissipated, the resistor with smaller value will be higher because it will draw more current which will in turn lead to a heating effect and cause the resistor to be warm. Hence we can conclude that the resistance B has greatest resistance value.
