A heat engine operating at steady state delivers a power output of 15.5 hp. The engine receives energy by heat transfer in the a

mount of Qh = 30.5 kJ during each cycle of operation from a high temperature thermal reservoir at Th = 940 K. The system is executing 50 cycles per minute. Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilojoules

Answer:

w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

Explanation:

Given:

- Steady power out-put W_out = 15.5 hp

- System executes 50 cycles/min

Find:

Determine the amount of work that is delivered during each cycle in kilo-joules

Solution:

- First we will convert the steady output into KW as follows:

                                 W_out = 15.5 hp

The conversion factor is 1.36 KW per hp.

                                 W_out = 15.5 [hp] * [KW] / 1.36 [hp]

                                 W_out = 11.4 [KW] or [KJ/s]

- Given that there are 50 cycles in 60 sec. We will use direct proportionality to calculate the number of cycles per second:

                       50 cycles   -----------> 60 s

                          x cycles   -----------> 1 s

                                 x = 50/60 = 0.8333 cycles /s

- Next we will compute the amount of work done per cycle:

                                 w_cycle = W_out / x

                                 w_cycle = 11.4 [KJ/s] * [s] / 0.8333 [cycles]

                                 w_cycle = 13.68 KJ / cycle

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]
