An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1175 K and 295 K, respectively,

that provides a steady-state power output of (a) 28 kW, (b) 31.2 kW, while receiving energy by heat transfer from the hot reservoir at the rate 150,000 kJ/h. Evaluate each claim

Answer:

<em>a) efficiency is equal to 67.2%, and this is lesser than the maximum obtainable efficiency, so this power output is possible.</em>

<em>b) efficiency is 75%, this is approximately equal to the maximum obtainable efficiency, but not more that it. This power output is also possible.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Cold reservoir temperature Tc = 295 K

Hot reservoir temperature Th = 1175 K

Energy input Q = 150000 K/h

Converting to kJ/s, Q  = 150000/3600 = 41.66 kJ/s

Maximum efficiency that can be obtained from this cycle = 1 - \frac{Tc}{Th}

==> 1 - \frac{295}{1175} = 0.748 ≅ 75%

also recall that actual cycle efficiency = \frac{W}{Q}

Where W is the energy output or work

a) for work of 28 kW,

eff =  \frac{W}{Q} =  \frac{28}{41.66} = 0.672 ≅ 67.2%

this is lesser than the maximum obtainable efficiency, so this power output is possible.

b) for work of 31.2 kW

eff =  \frac{W}{Q} =  \frac{31.2}{41.66} = 0.748 ≅ 75%

this is approximately equal to the maximum obtainable efficiency, but not more that it. This power output is possible.

NB: kW is also equal to kJ/S

Air enters the 1 m² inlet of an aircraft engine at 100 kPa and 20° C with a velocity of 180 m/s. Determine: a) The volumetric fl
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) 180 m³/s

b) 213.4 kg/s

Explanation:

A_1 = 1 m²

P_1 = 100 kPa

V_1 = 180 m/s

Flow rate

Q=A_1V_1\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 180\\\Rightarrow Q=180\ m^3/s

Volumetric flow rate = 180 m³/s

Mass flow rate

\dot{m}=\rho Q\\\Rightarrow \dot m=\frac{P_1}{RT} Q\\\Rightarrow \dot m=\frac{100000}{287\times 293.15}\times 180\\\Rightarrow \dotm=213.94\ kg/s

Mass flow rate = 213.4 kg/s

Define factors that can change the performance of a polymer, such are additives
inna [77]

Answer:

 The performance of the polymer is basically change by the various type of factors like shape, tensile strength and color.

The polymer based products are basically influenced by the environmental factors like light, acids or alkalis chemicals, salts and also heat.

The additives is one of the type of chemical polymer which basically include polymer matrix for improving the ability of processing of the polymer. It also helps to enhance the production and requirement of the polymer products in the environment.
