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

When checking the resistance of a dual voltage wye motor, there should be ____ resistance readings. 1) twelve 2) six 3) three
hjlf

Answer:

1) twelve

Explanation:

The dual voltage motors are used in day to day operations. The wye is connected with 9 lead motors. Maximum resistance can be obtained if the resistance are connected in series. To check resistance of dual voltage wye motor there must be twelve resistance readings of 1 ohm each.

A 13.7g sample of a compound exerts a pressure of 2.01atm in a 0.750L flask at 399K. What is the molar mass of the compound?a. 3
Katarina [22]

Answer: Option D) 298 g/mol  is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass of sample m = 13.7 g

pressure P = 2.01 atm

Volume V = 0.750 L

Temperature T = 399 K

Now taking a look at the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

we solve for n

n = PV/RT

now we substitute

n = (2.01 atm x 0.750 L) / (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K x 399 K )

= 1.5075 / 32.7579

= 0.04601 mol

we know that

molar mass of the compound = mass / moles

so

Molar Mass = 13.7 g / 0.04601 mol

= 297.7 g/mol  ≈ 298 g/mol

Therefore Option D) 298 g/mol  is the correct answer

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0

h_{in} = h_{out}

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 1500\,kPa

T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

x = 0.967

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

P = 200\,kPa

T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

A material point in equilibrium has 1 independent component of shear stress in the xz plane. a)True b)- False
ozzi

Answer:

True

Explanation:

For point in xz plane the stress tensor is given by\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Dx_{} &txz\\tzx&Dz\\\end{array}\right]

where Dx is the direct stress along x ; Dz is direct stress along z ;  tzx and txz are the  shear stress components

We know that the stress tensor matrix is symmetrical which means that tzx = txz  ( obtained by moment equlibrium )

thus we require only 1 independent component of shear stress to define the whole stress tensor at a point in 2D plane
