A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined
Assumptions :
1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
Properties: The specific heat of geothermal water (
[) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.
Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

In poor weather, you should <u>double</u> your following distance.
Answer:
275 Kelvin
Explanation:
Coefficient of Performance=11



Boats float because the gravity is acting down on it and the buoyant force is acting up on the ship.
Answer:
μ = 0.136
Explanation:
given,
velocity of the car = 20 m/s
radius of the track = 300 m
mass of the car = 2000 kg
centrifugal force


F c = 2666. 67 N
F f= μ N
F f = μ m g
2666.67 = μ × 2000 × 9.8
μ = 0.136
so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136
