Two different fuels are being considered for a 2.5 MW (net output) heat engine which can operate between the highest temperature

produced during the burning of the fuels and an atmospheric temperature of 300 K. Fuel A burns at 2,500 K, delivering 50 MJ/kg (heating value) and costs $2.00/kg. Fuel B burns at 1,500 K, delivering 40 MJ/kg and costs $1.50/kg.
Compare the fuel costs per hour of fuel A and fuel B, assuming that the heat engine operates
(a) at Carnot efficiency
(b) at 40% of Carnot efficiency

Answer:

If the heat engine operates for one hour:

a) the fuel cost at Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $409.09 while fuel 2 is $421.88.

b) the fuel cost at 40% of Carnot efficiency for fuel 1 is $1022.73 while fuel 2 is $1054.68.

In both cases the total cost of using fuel 1 is minor, therefore it is recommended to use this fuel over fuel 2. The final observation is that fuel 1 is cheaper.

Explanation:

The Carnot efficiency is obtained as:

\epsilon_{car}=1-\frac{T_c}{T_H}

Where T_c is the atmospheric temperature and T_H is the maximum burn temperature.

For the case (B), the efficiency we will use is:

\epsilon_{b}=0.4\epsilon_{car}

The work done by the engine can be calculated as:

W=\epsilon Q=\epsilon H_v\cdot m_{fuel} where Hv is the heat value.

If the average net power of the engine is work over time, considering a net power of 2.5MW for 1 hour (3600s), we can calculate the mass of fuel used in each case.

m=\frac{P\cdot t}{\epsilon H_v}

If we want to calculate the total fuel cost, we only have to multiply the fuel mass with the cost per kilogram.

TC=m\cdot c

with a digital system, if you have measured incorrectly and use too low of a kvp for adequate penetration, what do you need to d
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The x-ray beam's penetrating power is regulated by kVp (beam quality). Every time an exposure is conducted, the x-rays need to be powerful (enough) to sufficiently penetrate through the target area.

<h3>How does kVp impact the exposure to digital receptors?</h3>

The radiation's penetration power and exposure to the image receptor both increase as the kVp value is raised.

<h3>Exposure to the image receptor is enhanced with an increase in kVp, right?</h3>

Due to an increase in photon quantity and penetrability, exposure at the image receptor rises by a factor of five of the change in kVp, doubling the intensity at the detector with a 15% change in kVp.

1. Examine the following circuit. Find RT, I3, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2 and V3. Show all of your work clearly below.
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)

The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)

Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current

I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches

R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω

R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω

R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω

V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V
