The flow rate on an arterial is 1,800 veh/h, evenly distributed over two lanes. If the average speed in these lanes is 40 mi/h,

what is the density in veh/h/ln?

Using

q = k*v,

where q = traffic flow rate, k = density, v = space mean speed.

so, 1800 = k x 40

so, k = 1800/40 = 45 veh/mie on two lanes,

so k = 45/2 = 22.5veh/h/in

Consider a regenerative gas-turbine power plant with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The overall pressure

iris [78.8K]

Answer: the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Explanation:

from the T-S diagram, we get the overall pressure ratio of the cycle is 9

Calculate the pressure ratio in each stage of compression and expansion. P1/P2 = P4/P3 = √9 = 3

P5/P6 = P7/P8 = √9 =3

get the properties of air from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

At temperature T1 =300K

Specific enthalpy of air h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr1 = 1.3860

At temperature T5 = 1200 K

Specific enthalpy h5 = 1277.79 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr5 = 238

Calculate the relative pressure at state 2

Pr2 = (P2/P1) Pr5

Pr2 =3 x 1.3860 = 4.158

get the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 2 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure pr = 4.153

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 411.12 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 4.522

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 421.26 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 2 by the method of interpolation

(h2 - 411.12) / ( 421.26 - 411.12) =

(4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153 )

h2 - 411.12 = (421.26 - 411.12) ((4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153))

h2 - 411.12 = 0.137

h2 = 411.257kJ/kg

Calculate the relative pressure at state 6.

Pr6 = (P6/P5) Pr5

Pr6 = 1/3 x 238 = 79.33

Obtain the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 6 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure Pr = 75.29

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 932.93 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 82.05

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 955.38 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 6 by the method of interpolation.

(h6 - 932.93) / ( 955.38 - 932.93) =

(79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

(h6 - 932.93) = ( 955.38 - 932.93) ((79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

h6 - 932.93 = 13.427

h6 = 946.357 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work input of the first and second stage compressors

(Wcomp)in = 2(h2 - h1 ) = 2( 411.257 - 300.19 )

= 222.134 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work output of the first and second stage turbines.

(Wturb)out = 2(h5 - h6) = 2( 1277.79 - 946.357 )

= 662.866 kJ/kg

Calculate the net work done

Wnet = (Wturb)out - (Wcomp)in

= 662.866 - 222.134

= 440.732 kJ/kg

Calculate the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW

W = m × Wnet

(105 x 10³) kW = m(440.732 kJ/kg)

m = (105 x 10³) / 440.732

m = 238.2 kg/s

therefore the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Technician A says that a way to prevent galvanic corrosion is to duplicate the original installation method. Technician B says t

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Galvanic corrosion is not on only one metal alone but caused when two metals are interacting. Thus, Duplicating the original installation method is a better option because re-using a coated bolt doesn't prevent galvanic corrosion because both materials must be coated and not just the bolt and in technician B's case he is coating just the bolt. Thus, technician B's method will not achieve prevention of galvanic corrosion but technician A's method will achieve it.

Calculate the amount of current flowing through a 75-watt light bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit in your home.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.
