A hydraulic turbine-generator unit placed at the bottom of a 75-m-high dam accepts water at a rate of 1020 L/s and produces 630

kWof electricity. Determine A) the overall efficiency of the turbine-generator unit and B) the turbine efficiency if the generator efficiency is 96 percent, and C) the power losses due to inefficiencies in the turbine and generator.

Answer:

A. Overall efficiency =83.95%

B. 87.45%

C.120.465kw

Explanation:

H=75m

Flow rate= 120L/s=1.02m^2/s

Po=Output power= 630kw

As power input Pi= Total power available

=gQH/1000

Where

g=9.81

Q=120L/s=1.02m^2/s

H=75m

= (9.81m/s^2 × 1.02m^2/s×75m)/1000

750.465kw

A. Overall efficiency of generator turbine unit (Po/Pi)

= Output power/ power input

= 630/750.465= 0.8395

Overall efficiency of the unit= 0.8395 × 100

=83.95%

B. Turbine efficiency if generator efficiency is 96%

no × nt= 0.96

nT= 87.45%

C. Power losses= Power input - Power output

Pi - Po

=750.465- 630

=120.465kw

Power losses due to inefficiencies in turbine of the generator is 120.465kw

A dual-fluid heat exchanger has 10 lbm/s water entering at 100 F, 20 psia and leaving at 50 F, 20 psia. The other fluid is glyco
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Rate of internal heat transfer = 23.2 Btu/Ibm

mass flow rate = 21.55 Ibm/s

Explanation:

using given data to obtain values from table F7.1

Enthalpy of water at temperature of 100 F = 68.04Btu/Ibm

Enthalpy of water at temperature of 50 F = 18.05 Btu/Ibm

from table F.3

specific constant of glycerin C_{p} = 0.58 Btu/Ibm-R

<u>The rate of internal heat transfer ( change in enthalpy ) </u>

h4 - h3 = Cp ( T4 - T3 ) --------------- ( 1 )

where ; T4 = 50 F

             T3 = 10 F

             Cp = 0.58 Btu/Ibm-R

substitute given values into equation 1

change in enthalpy ( h4 - h3 ) = 23.2 Btu/Ibm

<u>Determine mass flow rate of glycol</u>

attached below is the detailed solution

mass flow rate of glycol = 21.55 Ibm/s

If you add 10 J of heat to a system so that the final temperature of the system is 200K, what is the change in entropy of the sy
Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.05 J/K

Explanation:

Given data in question

heat (Q) = 10 J

temperature (T) = 200 K

to find out

the change in entropy of the system

Solution

we will solve this by the entropy change equation

i.e  ΔS = ΔQ/T           ...................1

put the value of heat Q and Temperature T in equation 1

ΔS is the enthalpy change and T is the temperature

so  ΔS = 10/200

ΔS = 0.05 J/K

For a given set of input values, a NAND gate produces the opposite output as an OR gate with inverted inputs.A. True
Verdich [7]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

For a given set of input values, A NAND gate produces exactly the same values as an OR gate with inverted inputs.

The truth table  for a NAND gate with 2 inputs is as follows:

0 0    1

0 1     1

1  0    1

1  1    0

The  truth table for an OR gate, is as follows:

0 0    0

0 1     1

1  0    1

1  1     1

If we add two extra columns for inverted inputs, the truth table will be this one:

0 0    1  1       1

0 1     1  0      1

1  0    0  1      1

1  1     0  0     0

which is the same as for the NAND gate, not the opposite, so the statement is false.

This means that the right choice is B.
