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

When using fall arrest, free fall must be kept at or below how many feet
FromTheMoon [43]
6 feet
Explanation: A few extra feet of free fall can significantly increase the arresting force on the employee, possibly to the point of causing injury. Because of this, the free fall distance should be kept at a minimum, and, as required by the standard, in no case greater than 6 feet (1.8 m).

An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainlesssteel cable having a diameter of 5 mm and an electricalresistance of 610
KatRina [158]

Answer:

778.4°C

Explanation:

I = 700

R = 6x10⁻⁴

we first calculate the rate of heat that is being transferred by the current

q = I²R

q = 700²(6x10⁻⁴)

= 490000x0.0006

= 294 W/M

we calculate the surface temperature

Ts = T∞ + \frac{q}{h\pi Di}

Ts = 30+\frac{294}{25*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{5}{1000}  }

Ts=30+\frac{294}{0.3928} \\

Ts =30+748.4\\Ts = 778.4

The surface temperature is therefore 778.4°C if the cable is bare

Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the worki
storchak [24]

Answer:

True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>

<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor. </em>
