Answer:

a. V = 109.64 × 10⁵ ft/min

b. Mw = 654519.54 kg/hr

Explanation:

Given Parameters

mass flow rate of water, Mw = 90000g/min = 6607.33 kg/s

inlet temperature of water, T1 = 84 F = 28.89 C

outlet temperature of water, T2 = 68 F = 20 C

specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18kJ/kgK

rate of heat remover from water, Qw is given by

Qw = 6607.33[28.89 - 20] * 4.18

Qw = 245529.545kw

For air, inlet condition

DBT = 70 F              hi = 43.43 kJ/kg

WBT = 60 F             wi = 0.00874 kJ/kg

                                u1 = 0.8445 m/kg

oulet condition,

DBT = 70 F        RH = 100.1

h1 = 83.504kJ/kg

Wo = 0.222kJ/kg

A copper-nickel alloy of composition 60 wt% Ni-40 wt% Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 1250°C (2280 °F). (a) At what te
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. The very first liquid process, when heated from 1250 degree Celsius, is expected to form at the temperature by which the vertical line crosses the phase boundary (a -(a + L)) which is about <em>1310 degree Celsius. </em>

b. The structure of that first liquid is identified by the intersection with ((a+ L)-L) phase boundary; <em>47wt %of Ni</em> is of a tie line formed across the (a+ L) phase area <em>at 1310 degrees.</em>

c. To find the alloy's full melting, it is determined that the intersection of the same vertical line at 60 wt percent Ni with (a -(a+L)) phase boundary is around <em>1350 degrees.</em>

c. The structure of the last remaining solid before full melting correlates to the intersection with the phase boundary (a -(a + L), of the tie line built at 1350 degrees across the (a + L) phase area, <em>being 72wt % of Ni.</em>

Steam enters a turbine in a Rankine cycle power plant at 200 psia and 500 °F. a) Calculate the isentropic thermal efficiency if
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

η=0.19=19% for p=14.7psi

η=0.3=30% for p=1psi

Explanation:

enthalpy before the turbine, state: superheated steam

h1(p=200psi,t=500F)=2951.9KJ/kg

s1=6.8kJ/kgK

Entalpy after the turbine

h2(p=14.7psia, s=6.8)=2469KJ/Kg

Entalpy  before the boiler

h3=(p=14.7psia,x=0)=419KJ/Kg

Learn to pronounce

the efficiency for a simple rankine cycle is

η=\frac{h1-h2}{h1-h3}

η=(2951.9KJ/kg-2469KJ/Kg)/(2951.9KJ/kg-419KJ/Kg)

η=0.19=19%

second part

h2(p=1psia, s=6.8)=2110

h3(p=1psia, x=0)=162.1

η=(2951.9KJ/kg-2110KJ/Kg)/(2951.9KJ/kg-162.1KJ/Kg)

η=0.3=30%

Define Electromechanical systems.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Electromechanical systems or devices are systems or devices that involves the interaction between electrical systems and mechanical systems in which the motion of mechanical parts is converted to electrical energy or made to interact with energy or in which electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy or interacts with a moving mechanical system

Therefore;

Electromechanical systems convert <u>electrical energy</u> input into a <u>mechanical energy</u> output
