Air at 300 K and 100 kPa steadily flows into a hair dryer having electrical work input of 1500 W. Because of the size of the air

intake, the inlet velocity of the air is negligible. The air temperature and velocity at the hair dryer exit are 80°C and 21 m/s, respectively. The flow process is both constant pressure and adiabatic. Assume air has constant specific heats evaluated at 300 K. Determine the air mass flow rate into the hair dryer, in kg/s.

Answer:

0.0280Kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

W = 1500

V2 = 300

V1 = 0

Q = 0 ( adiabatic)

T1 = 300

T2 = 20 m/s = converting to degrees we have 353°c

Let's use the energy equation

Q - W = m_• *( Cp(dT) + 0.5*(V2^2 - V1^2) Q = 0

[/tex] m_• = W / (Cp(dT) + 0.5*V2^2) [/tex]

= 1500 / (1005(353 - 300) + 0.5*21^2)

= 1500 W / 53485.5 =0.0280 kg/s

Answer:

The rate of air mass flow is given as \dot{m}=0.02804 kg/s^2

Explanation:

The steady state energy equation is given as

\dot{Q}-\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left[(h_2-h_1)+\left(\dfrac{V_1^2-V_2^2}{2}\right)+g(z_1-z_2)\right]

Here,

Q' is heat interaction per unit time with the hair dryer

W' is work interaction per unit time with the system

m' is mass flow rate into the hair dryer

Since the process is adiabatic so the value of Q' is 0 .

The elevations at inlet and outlet are same(z_1=z_2) so z_1-z_2=0

So the equation becomes

0-\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left[(h_1-h_2)+\left(\dfrac{V_1^2-V_2^2}{2}\right)+g(0)\right]\\\dot{W}=-\dot{m}\left[(h_1-h_2)+\left(\dfrac{V_1^2-V_2^2}{2}\right)\right]\\\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left[(h_2-h_1)+\left(\dfrac{V_2^2-V_1^2}{2}\right)\right]\\\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left[C_p(T_2-T_1)+\left(\dfrac{V_2^2-V_1^2}{2}\right)\right]

Now the value of power is given as 1500 W so the value of W' is 1500 W

m' is to be calculated

T_2 is the temperature at the exit given as 80 C or 80+273=363K

T_1 is given as 300 K

V_1 is given as negligible so it is 0

V_2 is given as 21 m/s

C_p is given as 1.005 kJ/kgK

So the equation becomes

\dot{W}=\dot{m}\left[C_p(T_2-T_1)+\left(\dfrac{V_2^2-V_1^2}{2}\right)\right]\\1.5 kW=\dot{m}\left[1.005 kJ/kgK(363-300 )K+\left(\dfrac{21^2-0^2}{2}*(1/1000)\right)\right]\\1.5=\dot{m}(53.48)\\\dot{m}=\dfrac{1.5}{53.48}\\\dot{m}=0.02804 kg/s^2

So the rate of air mass flow is given as \dot{m}=0.02804 kg/s^2

Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a) \dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}, b) v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}, c) \dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Mass Balance

\frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}} - \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}} = 0

Energy Balance

-q_{loss} - w_{out} + h_{in} - h_{out} = 0

Specific volumes and enthalpies are obtained from property tables for steam:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

\nu_{in} = 0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

h_{in} = 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mix)

\nu_{out} = 5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

h_{out} = 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

a) The mass flow rate of the steam is:

\dot m = \frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}}

\dot m = \frac{\left(60\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.015\,m^{2})}{0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }

\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}

b) The exit velocity of steam is:

\dot m = \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}}

v_{out} = \frac{\dot m \cdot \nu_{out}}{A_{out}}

v_{out} = \frac{\left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{0.14\,m^{2}}

v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}

c) The power output of the steam turbine is:

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (-q_{loss} + h_{in}-h_{out})

\dot W_{out} = \left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(-20\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right)

\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW

Many radios can be operated either by plugging them into the wall or by using batteries. How can a radio use either source of cu
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The electric current from the batteries installed in a radio supplies direct current (DC) electricity to the radio components directly as an alternative source to the Alternating Current (AC) converted to DC by the power unit located at the radio end of the cable plugged into the wall outlet.

Explanation:

Part of the power unit in a radio includes an AC to DC converter, which is an electrical circuit that is able to convert the alternating current power input from the wall outlet into a direct current output to the radio with which the radio can work

The alternative source of electric current from the batteries installed in a radio bypasses the AC to DC converter and supplies power directly to the radio so it can also work.
