A generator is to be driven by a small Pelton wheel with a head of 91.5m at inlet to the nozzle and discharge of 0.04m^3/s. The

wheel rotates at 720rpm a n d the velocity coefficient of the nnozzle is 0.98. If the efficiency of the wheel (based on the energy available at entry to the nozzle) is 80 per cent and the ratio of bucket speed to jet speed is0.46, determine the wheel-to-.jet-di meter ratio at the centre-line of the buckets, and the speed of the wheel.

Answer:

ratio = 412

speed of wheel = 13.63

Explanation:

given data

head h = 91.5 m

discharge Q = 0.04 m³/s

wheel rotates N = 720 rpm

velocity coefficient Cv = 0.98

efficiency of the wheel η = 80 %

ratio of bucket speed to jet speed $\frac{u}{v}$ = 0.46

to find out

wheel to jet diameter ratio and power specific speed of the wheel

solution

we know that discharge = area × velocity .............1

here velocity = Cv√(2gh)

velocity = 0.98√(2×9.81×91.5) = 41.52 m/s

and area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$

so from equation 1

0.04 = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ × 41.52

d = 0.00123 m = 1.23 mm

we know bucket speed to jet speed = 0.46

so bucket speed u = 0.46 v

bucket speed u = 0.46 × 41.52 = 19.1 m/s

and bucket speed = $\frac{\pi D N}{60}$

so 19.1 = $\frac{\pi D 720}{60}$

so D = 0.506 m = 506.62 mm

so ratio is $\frac{D}{d} = \frac{506.62}{1.23}$

ratio = 412

and

we know efficiency = $\frac{outputpower}{inputpower}$

0.80 × ρQgh = output power

power output = 0.80 ×1000×0.04×9.81×91.5

power output P = 28.72 kW

so

speed of wheel is

speed of wheel = $\frac{N\sqrt{P} }{h^{5/4}}$

speed of wheel = $\frac{720\sqrt{28.72} }{91.5^{5/4}}$

speed of wheel = 13.63

kramer

Answer:

$\dot E = 15602.842\,W$

Explanation:

By an adequate application of the Principle of Energy Conservation, the escalator need energy to elevate from to the bottom to the top. Hence:

$E = m_{total}\cdot g \cdot y$

An expression for power needed is found by deriving the equation with respect to time:

$\dot E = m_{total}\cdot g \cdot v_{y}$

The minimum power is found by substituting known inputs:

$\dot E = (50)\cdot (75\,kg) \cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.6\,\frac{m}{s} )\cdot \sin 45^{\textdegree}$

$\dot E = 15602.842\,W$

Can you use isentropic efficiency for a non-adiabatic compressor?

vodomira [7]

Mark brainliest please!

Isothermal work will be less than the adiabatic work for any given compression ratio and set of suction conditions. The ratio of isothermal work to the actual work is the isothermal efficiency. Isothermal paths are not typically used in most industrial compressor calculations.

Compressors

Compressors are used to move gases and vapors in situations where large pressure differences are necessary.

Types of Compressor

Compressors are classified by the way they work: dynamic (centrifugal and axial) or reciprocating. Dynamic compressors use a set of rotating blades to add velocity and pressure to fluid. They operate at high speeds and are driven by steam or gas turbines or electric motors. They tend to be smaller and lighter for a given service than reciprocating machines, and hence have lower costs.

Reciprocating compressors use pistons to push gas to a higher pressure. They are common in natural gas gathering and transmission systems, but are less common in process applications. Reciprocating compressors may be used when very large pressure differences must be achieved; however, since they produce a pulsating flow, they may need to have a receiver vessel to dampen the pulses.

The compression ratio, pout over pin, is a key parameter in understanding compressors and blowers. When the compression ratio is below 4 or so, a blower is usually adequate. Higher ratios require a compressor, or multiple compressor stages, be used.

When the pressure of a gas is increased in an adiabatic system, the temperature of the fluid must rise. Since the temperature change is accompanied by a change in the specific volume, the work necessary to compress a unit of fluid also changes. Consequently, many compressors must be accompanied by cooling to reduce the consequences of the adiabatic temperature rise. The coolant may flow through a jacket which surrounds the housing with liquid coolant. When multiple stage compressors are used, intercooler heat exchangers are often used between the stages.

Dynamic Compressors

Gas enters a centrifugal or axial compressor through a suction nozzle and is directed into the first-stage impeller by a set of guide vanes. The blades push the gas forward and into a diffuser section where the gas velocity is slowed and the kinetic energy transferred from the blades is converted to pressure. In a multistage compressor, the gas encounters another set of guide vanes and the compression step is repeated. If necessary, the gas may pass through a cooling loop between stages.

Compressor Work

To evaluate the work requirements of a compressor, start with the mechanical energy balance. In most compressors, kinetic and potential energy changes are small, so velocity and static head terms may be neglected. As with pumps, friction can be lumped into the work term by using an efficiency. Unlike pumps, the fluid cannot be treated as incompressible, so a differential equation is required:

Compressor Work
Evaluation of the integral requires that the compression path be known - - is it adiabatic, isothermal, or polytropic?
uncooled units -- adiabatic, isentropic compression
complete cooling during compression -- isothermal compression
large compressors or incomplete cooling -- polytropic compression
Before calculating a compressor cycle, gas properties (heat capacity ratio, compressibility, molecular weight, etc.) must be determined for the fluid to be compressed. For mixtures, use an appropriate weighted mean value for the specific heats and molecular weight.

Adiabatic, Isentropic Compression

If there is no heat transfer to or from the gas being compressed, the porocess is adiabatic and isentropic. From thermodynamics and the study of compressible flow, you are supposed to recall that an ideal gas compression path depends on:

Adiabatic Path
This can be rearranged to solve for density in terms of one known pressure and substituted into the work equation, which then can be integrated.
Adiabatic Work
The ratio of the isentropic work to the actual work is called the adiabatic efficiency (or isentropic efficiency). The outlet temperature may be calculated from
Adiabatic Temperature Change
Power is found by multiplying the work by the mass flow rate and adjusting for the units and efficiency.
Isothermal Compression

If heat is removed from the gas during compression, an isothermal compression cycle may be achieved. In this case, the work may be calculated from:

which type of building construction can include materials with no fire-resistance ratings in limited quantities?

hammer [34]

The type of type of building construction can include materials with no fire-resistance ratings in limited quantities is type 2.

Although many buildings appear to be similar at first appearance, their cost and durability—particularly in an emergency—are affected by the underlying materials. Building codes categorize all structures into Types 1 through 5, and each Type discloses important details like fire-resistance.

Some contemporary structures are now stronger and less expensive to construct. Engineered wood and synthetic plastics, which burn readily, cause quick collapses and present significant risks for firefighters.

Type 1 constructions, which are the most fire-resistant buildings, are made of shielded steel and concrete because they can sustain high temperatures without collapsing. Type 5 constructions, on the other hand, are the least fire-resistant since they are built of flammable materials, are lightweight, and they burn out quickly. Type 2 constructions, modern structures with metal roofs and tilt-slab or reinforced masonry walls.
