A piece of corroded steel plate was found in a submerged ocean vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was

16 in.2 and that approximately 3.2 kg had corroded away during the submersion. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 200 mpy for this alloy in seawater, estimate the time of submersion in years. The density of steel is 7.9 g/cm3.

Answer:

Time of submersion in years = 7.71 years

Explanation:

Area of plate (A)= 16in²

Mass corroded away = Weight Loss (W) = 3.2 kg = 3.2 x 106

Corrosion Penetration Rate (CPR) = 200mpy

Density of steel (D) = 7.9g/cm³

Constant = 534

The expression for the corrosion penetration rate is

Corrosion Penetration Rate = Constant x Total Weight Loss/Time taken for Weight Loss x Exposed Surface Area x Density of the Metal

Re- arrange the equation for time taken

T = k x W/ A x CPR x D

T = (534 x 3.2 x 106)/(16 x 7.9 x 200)

T = 67594.93 hours

Convert hours into years by

T = 67594.93 x (1year/365 days x 24 hours x 1 day)

T = 7.71 years

What is the difference between a single-model production line and a mixed-model production line?

Nat2105 [25]

The unique model production line is responsible for producing identical pieces. For this purpose the balancing of the assembly line is only responsible for assembling a model throughout the line.

This is a considerable difference compared to the mixed model assembly line where many models are assembled during the same production line, that is, it produces parts or products that have slight changes accommodated in them, with slight variations in their model or products of soft variety

The choice of the type of production depends on the type of company and its own demand, always prioritizing the efficiency in the operation. Generally, the mixed model tends to be chosen when demand is very large and customer demand is required to be met. In others it is considered a plant model in which half of the line is mixed and the other one is the only model in order to keep the efficiency balanced.

Carnot heat engine A operates between 20ºC and 520ºC. Carnot heat engine B operates between 20ºC and 820ºC. Which Carnot heat en

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

engine B is more efficient.

Explanation:

We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle for all working heat engine.In Carnot cycle there are four processes in which two are constant temperature processes and others two are isentropic process.

We also kn ow that the efficiency of Carnot cycle given as follows

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

Here temperature should be in Kelvin.

For engine A

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{273+20}{520+273}$

$\eta =0.63$

For engine B

$\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{273+20}{820+273}$

$\eta =0.73$

So from above we can say that engine B is more efficient.

Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a) $\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}$ , b) $v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}$ , c) $\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW$

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Mass Balance

$\frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}} - \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}} = 0$

Energy Balance

$-q_{loss} - w_{out} + h_{in} - h_{out} = 0$

Specific volumes and enthalpies are obtained from property tables for steam:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

$\nu_{in} = 0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$h_{in} = 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mix)

$\nu_{out} = 5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$h_{out} = 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

a) The mass flow rate of the steam is:

$\dot m = \frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}}$

$\dot m = \frac{\left(60\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.015\,m^{2})}{0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}$

b) The exit velocity of steam is:

$\dot m = \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}}$

$v_{out} = \frac{\dot m \cdot \nu_{out}}{A_{out}}$

$v_{out} = \frac{\left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{0.14\,m^{2}}$

$v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}$

c) The power output of the steam turbine is:

$\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (-q_{loss} + h_{in}-h_{out})$

$\dot W_{out} = \left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(-20\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right)$

$\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW$
