(8 points) Air is used as the working fluid in a simple ideal Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 12, a compressor inlet

trapecia [35]

Answer:

a ) $\dot m = 351.49 kg/s$

b) $\dot m_{actual} = 1046.15 kg/s$

Explanation:

given data:

pressure ration rp = 12

inlet temperature = 300 K

TURBINE inlet temperature = 1000 K

AT the end of isentropic process (compression) temperature is

$\frac{T_2'}{T_1} = rp ^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}$

$\frac{T_2'}{300} = 12^{\frac{1.4 -1}{1.4}}$

$T_2' = 610.181 K$

AT the end of isentropic process (expansion) temperature is

$\frac{T_3}{T_4'} = rp ^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}$

$\frac{1000'}{T_4'} = 12^{\frac{1.4 -1}{1.4}}$

$T_4' = 491.66 K$

isentropic work is given as

$w(compressor) = CP (T_2' -T_1)$

w = 1.005(610.18 - 300)

w = 311.73 kJ/kg

w(turbine) = 1.005( 1000 - 491.66)

w(turbine) = 510.88 kJ/kg

a) mass flow rate for isentropic process is given as

$\dot m = \frac{70000}{510.88 - 311.73}$

$\dot m = 351.49 kg/s$

b) actual mass flow rate uis given as

$\dot m_{actual} = \frac{70000}{51.088\times 0.85 - \frac{311.73}{0.85}}$

$\dot m_{actual} = 1046.15 kg/s$

A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3 , undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ

Explanation:

For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

$W=p(V_f -V_i)$

where in this case we have:

$p = 2 bar = 2\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the pressure

$V_i = 0.1 m^3$ is the initial volume

$V_f = 0.12 m^3$ is the final volume

Substituting,

$W=(2\cdot 10^5)(0.12-0.10)=4000 J = 4.0 kJ$

The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed by the gas

Here we know that

$\Delta U = +0.25 kJ$

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:

$Q=\Delta U + W = 0.25 kJ + 4.0 kJ = 4.25 kJ$
