thermodynamics A nuclear power plant based on the Rankine cycle operates with a boiling-water reactor to develop net cycle power

of 3 MW. Steam exits the reactor core at 100 bar, 620°C and expands through the turbine to the condenser pressure of 1 bar. Saturated liquid exits the condenser and is pumped to the reactor pressure of 100 bar. Isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and pump are 87% and 78%, respectively. Cooling water enters the condenser at 15°C with a mass flow rate of 114.79 kg/s. Determine: (a) the percent thermal efficiency. (b) the temperature of the cooling water exiting the condenser, in °C.

vichka [17]

Answer:

The amplitude of the absorbed mass can be found

for ka:

X_{a} =0.002m=\frac{F_{0} }{K_{a} } =\frac{250}{K_{a} } =125000N/m

now

w^2=\frac{K_{a} }{m_{a} } \\m_{a} =\frac{K_{a} }{w^2} =\frac{125000}{[6000*2\pi /60]^2} =0.317kg

Two resistors, A and B, individually connect to a 9V battery. A student notices that resistor A is warmer than resistor B. Which
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Resistor B

Explanation:

Since resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit,

first let assume the two resistors are connected in parallel to the voltage, recall that when connection is in parallel, the different amount of current pass through the resistors depending on the value with the small resistor having  a lower resistance effect hence higher current will pass through

The energy dissipated in each resistor can be calculated as

E=\frac{1}{2}IR^{2}t.

from the formula we can conclude that the energy value will be higher for the resistor with small resistance value. hence more heating effect which will cause it to be warm.

Also when connected individually the current flow from the voltage source will pass through the resistor which when we calculate the energy dissipated, the resistor with smaller value will be higher because it will draw more current which will in turn lead to a heating effect and cause the resistor to be warm. Hence we can conclude that the resistance B has greatest resistance value.

Find the derivative of y = sin(ln(5x2 − 2x))
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = \cos[\ln x + \ln (5\cdot x - 2)]\cdot \left(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{5}{5\cdot x-2} \right)

Explanation:

Let y = \sin[\ln(5\cdot x^{2}-2\cdot x)] and we proceed to find the derivative by the following steps:

1) y = \sin[\ln(5\cdot x^{2}-2\cdot x)] Given

2) y = \sin [\ln[x\cdot (5\cdot x - 2)]] Distributive property

3) y = \sin[\ln x + \ln (5\cdot x - 2 )] \ln (a\cdot b) = \ln a + \ln b

4) y = \cos[\ln x + \ln (5\cdot x - 2)]\cdot \left(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{5}{5\cdot x-2} \right)  \frac{d}{dx} (\sin x) = \cos x/\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x) = \frac{1}{x}/\frac{d}{dx}(c\cdot x^{n}) = n\cdot c\cdot x^{n-1}/Rule of chain/Result

A 10-mm-diameter Brinell hardness indenter produced an indentation 1.55 mm in diameter in a steel alloy when a load of 500 kg wa
BigorU [14]

Answer:

HB = 3.22

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the Brinell Hardness is given as follows:

HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D\sqrt{D^{2}- d^{2} } }

where,

HB = Brinell Hardness = ?

P = Applied Load in kg = 500 kg

D = Diameter of Indenter in mm = 10 mm

d = Diameter of the indentation in mm = 1.55 mm

Therefore, using these values, we get:

HB = \frac{(2)(500)}{\pi (10)\sqrt{10^{2}- 1.55^{2} } }

<u>HB = 3.22 </u>
