Answer:

flow ( m ) = 4.852 kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Inlet of Turbine

P_1 = 10 MPa

T_1 = 500 C

- Outlet of Turbine

P_2 = 10 KPa

x = 0.9

- Power output of Turbine W_out = 5 MW

Find:

Determine the mass ow rate required

Solution:

- Use steam Table A.4 to determine specific enthalpy for inlet conditions:

P_1 = 10 MPa

T_1 = 500 C ---------- > h_1 = 3375.1 KJ/kg

- Use steam Table A.6 to determine specific enthalpy for outlet conditions:

P_2 = 10 KPa -------------> h_f = 191.81 KJ/kg

x = 0.9 -------------> h_fg = 2392.1 KJ/kg

h_2 = h_f + x*h_fg

h_2 = 191.81 + 0.9*2392.1 = 2344.7 KJ/kg

- The work produced by the turbine W_out is given by first Law of thermodynamics:

W_out = flow(m) * ( h_1 - h_2 )

flow ( m ) = W_out / ( h_1 - h_2 )

- Plug in values:

flow ( m ) = 5*10^3 / ( 3375.1 - 2344.7 )

flow ( m ) = 4.852 kg/s

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, $T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, $T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, $C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK$

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, $C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK$

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

$MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T$

$28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)$

Thus

$T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

$T_{e}$ = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

$\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}$

Now,

For Aluminium:

$\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K$

For Iron:

$\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K$

Thus

$\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K$

(a) The reverse-saturation current of a pn junction diode is IS = 10−11 A. Determine the diode voltage to produce currents of (i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The equation used to solve a diode is

$i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$

$i_d$ is the current going through the diode
$I_s$ is your saturation current
$V_D$ is the voltage across your diode
$V_T$ is the voltage of the diode at a certain room temperature. by default, you always use $V_T=25.9mV$ for room temperature.

If you look at the equation, $i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$ , you'd notice that the $e^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$ grow exponentially fast, so we can ignore the -1 in the equation because it's so small compared to the exponential.

$i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$

$i_d\approx I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$

Therefore, use $i_d= I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$ to solve your equation.

Rearrange your equation to solve for $V_D$ .

$V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})$

a.)

i.)

You're given $I_s=10^{-11}A$

at $i_d=10\mu A$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{10\cdot10^{-6}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.298V$

at $i_d=100\mu A$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{100\cdot10^{-6}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.358V$

at $i_d=1mA$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{1\cdot10^{-3}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.417V$

<em>note: always use</em> $V_T=25.9mV$

ii.)

Just repeat part (i) but change to $I_s=-5\cdot10^{-12}A$

b.)

same process as part A. You do the rest of the problem by yourself.
