Air flows through an adiabatic turbine that is in steady operation. The air enters at 150 psia, 900oF, and 350 ft/s and leaves a

t 20 psia, 300oF, and 700 ft/s. The inlet area of the turbine is 0.1 ft2 . Determine the mass flow rate of the air and the power output of the turbine.

Answer:

1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}

Explanation:

The inlet specific volume of air is given by:

v_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\v_1=\frac{(0.3704\frac{psia.ft^3}{lbm.R})(1360R)}{150psia}\\\\v_1=3.358\frac{ft^3}{lbm} \ \ \ \  \ \  \ \ \...i

The mass flow rates is expressed as:

\dot m=\frac{1}{v_1}A_1V_1\\\\\dot m=\frac{1}{3.358ft^3/psia}(0.1ft^2)(350ft/s)\\\\\dot m=10.42\frac{lbm}{s}

The energy balance for the system can the be expresses in the rate form as:

E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E=0\\\\E_{in}=E_{out}\\\\\dot m(h_1+0.5V_1^2)=\dot W_{out}+\dot m(h_2+0.5V_2^2)+Q_{out}\\\\\dot W_{out}=\dot m(h_2-h_1+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2))=-m({cp(T_2-t_1)+0.5(V_2^2-V_1^2)})\\\\\\\dot W_{out}=-(10.42lbm/s)[(0.25\frac{Btu}{lbm.\textdegree F})(300-900)\textdegree F+0.5((700ft/s)^2-(350ft/s)^2)(\frac{1\frac{Btu}{lbm}}{25037ft^2/s^2})]\\\\\\\\=1486.5\frac{Btu}{s}

Hence, the mass flow rate of the air is 1486.5Btu/s

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>
