A combined gas-steam power cycle uses a simple gas turbine for the topping cycle and a simpleRankine cycle for the bottoming cyc

le. Atmospheric air enters the compressor at 101 kPa and 20degC, and the maximum gas cycle temperature is 1100 degC. The compressor pressure ratio is 8;the compressor isentropic efficiency is 85 percent; and the gas turbine isentropic efficiency is 90percent. The gas stream leaves the heat exchanger at the saturation temperature of the steamflowing through the heat exchanger. Steam flows through the heat exchanger with a pressure of6000 kPa and leaves at 320 degC. The steam cycle condenser operates at 20 kPa, and the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine is 90 percent. Determine the mass flow rate of the air through the air compressor required for this system to produce 100 MW of power. Use constant specific heats for air at room temperature. (ANSWER: 279 kg/s).

Answer:

Mass flow of air = 242.9kg/s

Explanation:

Given.

p1 = 20kPa

p2 = 6000kPa.

r = 8

First, we need to get the enthalpy at p1 and p2

Using saturated liquid water tables

h1 = 251kJ/Kg where p1 = 20kPa

To get, h2; we'll add the work done by the pump to h1.

To get the work done by the pump, we'll set v1 to specific volume of water

v1 = 0.00102m³/Kg

So, h2 = h1 + v1(p2 - p1)

h2 = 251 + 0.00102(6000-20)

h2 = 257.0996 kJ/Kg

Then, we need h3 and s3 (s3, represent enthropy)

Using saturated liquid water tables where p = 6000kPa and T = 320°C

h3 = 2950kj/Kg

s3 = 6.190kj/kgK

The s3 will be equal s4.

With s4 = 6.190kj/kgK and p = 20kPa, we'll get h4s

h4s = 2040kJ/Kg

Calculating the real enthalpy, h4, given that the turbine efficiency = 90% = 0.9

h4 = h3 - u(h3 - h4s)

h4 = 2950 - 0.9(2950 - 2040)

h4 = 2,131 kJ/Kg

Calculating enthalpy, h5 where T = 293k, using the table of ideal gas of air

h5 = 294kj/kg

Using pressure ratio = 8 and Prandtl number = 1.28

Pr6 = r.Pr5 = 8 * 1.28 = 10.24

Calculating the enthalpy, h6s, using Pr6 = 10.24

h6s = 530kJ/kg

Calculating the real enthalpy, h6, given that the compressor efficiency = 85% = 0.85

h6 = h5 + (h6s-h5)/u

h6= 294 + (530 - 294)/0.85

h6 = 572 kJ/K

To determine enthalpy h7, we'll use T = 1393k, using the table of ideal gas of air

h7 = 1483kj/kg

Using pressure ratio = 8 and Prandtl number = 364

Pr8 = Pr7/r = 364/8 = 45.5

Calculating the enthalpy, h8s, using Pr8 = 45.5 and the cycls efficiency = 100%

h8s = 810kJ/kg

Calculating the real enthalpy, h8, given that the turbine efficiency = 90% = 0.9

h8 = h7 - u(h7-h8s)

h8 = 1483 - (1483 - 810)0.9

h8 = 877 kJ/K

For enthalpy h9, we'll use the given temperature T = 593l

h9 = 600k

Calculating the net work output of the steam

w = wt - wp

w = h3 - h4 - v(p2 - p1)

w = 2950 - 2131 - 0.00102(6000-20)

ws = 813kj/kg

Calculating the net work output of the gas

wg = wt - wc

w = (h7 - h8) - (h6 - h5)

w = (1483 - 877) - (572 - 294 )

wg = 328kj/kg

The energy Balance equation is given as

m1(h3-h2) = m2(h8-h9)

m2/m1 = (h3-h2)/(h8-h9)

m2/m1 = (2950-257)/(877-600)

m2/m1 = 9.722

Calculating the work output of the combined cycle

w = wg + m1/m2(ws)

w = 328 + 1/9.722*(813)

w = 411.62kj/kg

Given the power output process, = 100000kW

Mass flow of air = 100000/411.62

Mass flow of air = 242.9kg/s

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Vx = 6.242 x 10raised to power 15

Vy = -6.242 x 10raised to power 15

Explanation:

from E = IVt

but V = IR from ohm's law and Q = It from faraday's first law

I = Q/t

E = Q/t x V x t = QV

hence, E =QV

V = E/Q

The ________________ attraction between the Earth and the moon is ______________ on the side of the Earth that happens to be ___
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Gravitational; strongest; facing; closer; near side; toward.

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon is strongest on the side of the Earth that happens to be facing the moon, simply because it is closer. This attraction causes the water on this “near side” of Earth to be pulled toward the moon. These forces of attraction and inertia tends to keep the water in place and consequently, leads to a bulge of water on the near side with respect to the moon.

Also, you should note that what is responsible for the moon being in orbit around the Earth is the gravitational force of attraction between the two planetary bodies (Earth and Moon).

Re armature of a 4 pole DC generator is required to generate an emf of 520v on open circuit when revolving at a speed of 660rpm.
bija089 [108]

Since the armature is wave wound, the magnetic flux per pole is 0.0274 Weber.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Emf = 520 Volts
  • Speed = 660 r.p.m
  • Number of armature conductors = 144 slots
  • Number of poles = 4 poles
  • Number of parallel paths = 2

To find the magnetic flux per pole:

Mathematically, the emf generated by a DC generator is given by the formula;

E = \frac{\theta ZN}{60} × \frac{P}{A}

<u>Where:</u>

  • E is the electromotive force in the DC generator.
  • Z is the total number of armature conductors.
  • N is the speed or armature rotation in r.p.m.
  • P is the number of poles.
  • A is the number of parallel paths in armature.
  • Ф is the magnetic flux.

First of all, we would determine the total number of armature conductors:

Z = 144 × 2 × 3

Z = 864

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

520 = \frac{\theta (864)(660)}{60} × \frac{4}{2}

520 = \theta (864)(11) × 2

520 = 19008 \theta \\\\\Theta = \frac{520}{19008}

<em>Magnetic flux </em><em>=</em><em> 0.0274 Weber.</em>

Therefore, the magnetic flux per pole is 0.0274 Weber.
