Answer / Explanation:

First, we start solving the question by interpreting and representing it in a flow chart diagram.

The illustration have been  attached in a image below:

Now, if we reference the flow chart diagram attached below, we can see that:

from table A-22 in the flow chart diagram,

h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg

pr1 = 1.386 at T1 = 300 K

and we also note that:

Process 1-2 is isentropy, we have:

p2 / p1 = pr2 / pr1

= pr2 = p2 / p1

=  (1.386)(10)

= 13.86

Now, if we recall the table for the ideal gas property of air, which has been also attached below:

We will now interpolate the table:

On interpolation, we obtain:

h2 = 579.9 kJ/kg

and From Table A-22, we discover that:

h3 = 1515.42 kJ/kg and

pr3 = 450.5 at T3 = 1400 K

Process 3-4 is isentropy, we have:

p4/p3 = pr4/pr3

=pr4 = pr3. p4/p3

= (450.5)(0.1)

= 45.05

Now, going ahead to Interpolating  Table A22, we obtain:

h4 = 808.5 kJ/kg

So on discovering the above values, we go ahead to solving:

(a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle

η = (Wt / m) - (Wc / m) / Qm / m

= (h3 - h4) - (h2 - h1) / h3 - h2

η = (1515.4 - 808.5) - (579.9  - 300.19) / 1515.4  - 579.9

Solving further, we arrive at:

η = 0.457

(b) The back work ratio

= Wc / Wt = h2 - h1 / h3 - h4

= 579.9 - 300.19 / 1515.4 - 808.5

= 0.396

(c) The net power developed, in kW

Wcycle  = m [(h3 − h4) − (h2 − h1)]

Where, the air mass flow rate is given by:

m = (AV)₁ / V₁

= (AV)₁ p₁ / RT₁

m = (5.0 m ³ /s) [ 10⁵ N/m² / 8.314 kj ÷ 28.97kg.k] (300k) / 1kj /10³N.M/

= 5.807 kg/s

The power developed is then:

Wcycle   = (5.807 kg/s)[(1515.4 − 808.5) − (579.9 − 300.19)] kJ/kg

Wcycle  = 2481 kW

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Air Inlet Pressure, P1 = 100 KPa

Air Inlet temperature, T1 = 300 K  

Volume flow rate, Q = 5 m³/s

Turbine inlet temperature, T₃ = 1400 K

Compressor pressure ratio, r = 6, 8, 12

Heat capacity ratio or air = 1.4

γ= 1.4

Specific heat constant pressure of air, cp = 1.005 KJ/kg.k

At r = 6,

For Brayton cycle,

T2/T1 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

T3/T4 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

Now by putting the values

T2/300 = 6 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

1400/T4 = 6 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

T₂ = 1.67 × 300

= 500 K

T₄ = 1400/1.67

= 839.07 K

a)

Efficiency, η = 1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2)

Inputting values,

= 1 - ((839.07 - 300)/(1400 - 500))

= 0.40

= 40%

B.

Bwr = Wcomp/Wturb

Where,

Wcomp = workdone by compressor

Wturb = workdone by turbine

= ((T2 - T1)/(T3 - T4))

= ((500 - 300)/(1400 - 839.07))

= 0.36

C.

Net work = Net heat

Net heat = Qa - Qr

Qr = Cp ( T₄-T₁)

Qa = Cp ( T₃-T₂)

Imputting values,

Net heat, Qnet = 1.005 (1400 - 500 - 839.07 + 300)

= 1.005 × 360.93

= 362.74 kJ/kg

Net heat, Qnet = 362.74 kJ/kg

Using the ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

But n = mass/molar mass,

P  = ρ R T

By putting the values

P  = ρ R T

Inputting values,

100  = ρ x 0.287 x 300

ρ = 1.16  kg/m³

mass flow rate, m = ρ × Q

= 1.16 × 5

= 5.80 kg/s

Net power, Pnet = ms × Net heat, Qnet

= 5.8 × 362.74

= 2103.9 kW.

At r = 8,

For Brayton cycle,

T2/T1 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

T3/T4 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

Now by putting the values

T2/300 = 8 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

1400/T4 = 8 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

T₂ = 1.81 × 300

= 543.4 K

T₄ = 1400/1.81

= 772.9 K

a)

Efficiency, η = 1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2)

Inputting values,

= 1 - ((772.9 - 300)/(1400 - 543.4))

= 0.448

= 45%

B.

Bwr = Wcomp/Wturb

Where,

Wcomp = workdone by compressor

Wturb = workdone by turbine

= ((T2 - T1)/(T3 - T4))

= ((543.4 - 300)/(1400 - 772.9))

= 0.39

C.

Net work = Net heat

Net heat = Qa - Qr

Qr = Cp ( T₄-T₁)

Qa = Cp ( T₃-T₂)

Imputting values,

Net heat, Qnet = 1.005 (1400 - 543.4 - 772.9 + 300)

= 1.005 × 383.7

= 385.62 kJ/kg

Net heat, Qnet = 385.62 kJ/kg

Using the ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

But n = mass/molar mass,

P  = ρ R T

By putting the values

P  = ρ R T

Inputting values,

100  = ρ x 0.287 x 300

ρ = 1.16  kg/m³

mass flow rate, m = ρ × Q

= 1.16 × 5

= 5.80 kg/s

Net power, Pnet = ms × Net heat, Qnet

= 5.8 × 385.62

= 2236.59 kW.

At r = 12,

For Brayton cycle,

T2/T1 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

T3/T4 = r ^ (γ - 1)/γ

Now by putting the values

T2/300 = 12 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

1400/T4 = 12 ^ (1.4 - 1)/1.4

T₂ = 2.03 × 300

= 610 K

T₄ = 1400/2.03

= 688.32 K

a)

Efficiency, η = 1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2)

Inputting values,

= 1 - ((688.32 - 300)/(1400 - 610))

= 0.509

= 51%

B.

Bwr = Wcomp/Wturb

Where,

Wcomp = workdone by compressor

Wturb = workdone by turbine

= ((T2 - T1)/(T3 - T4))

= ((610 - 300)/(1400 - 688.32))

= 0.44

C.

Net work = Net heat

Net heat = Qa - Qr

Qr = Cp ( T₄-T₁)

Qa = Cp ( T₃-T₂)

Imputting values,

Net heat, Qnet = 1.005 (1400 - 610 - 688.32 + 300)

= 1.005 × 401.68

= 403.7 kJ/kg

Net heat, Qnet = 403.7 kJ/kg

Using the ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

But n = mass/molar mass,

P  = ρ R T

By putting the values

P  = ρ R T

Inputting values,

100  = ρ x 0.287 x 300

ρ = 1.16  kg/m³

mass flow rate, m = ρ × Q

= 1.16 × 5

= 5.80 kg/s

Net power, Pnet = ms × Net heat, Qnet

= 5.8 × 403.7

= 2341.39 kW.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]
The correct answer is B. Fuse.

Fuses were commonly used in houses up to recent ages, when circuit breakers became the more popular options, as they don't have to be changed every time they melt, since they don't melt.

Answer:

The induced current in the resistor is I = BLv/R

Explanation:

The induced emf ε in the long bar of length, L in a magnetic field of strength, B moving with a velocity, v is given by

ε = BLv.

Now, the current I in the resistor is given by

I = ε/R where ε = induced emf in circuit and R = resistance of resistor.

So, the current I = ε/R.

substituting the value of ε the induced emf, we have

I = ε/R

I = BLv/R

So, the induced current through the resistor is given by I = BLv/R
