A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550°C at a rate

of 7.7 kg/s and leaves at 2 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 450 °C before it expands in the low-pressure turbine. The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and the pump are 85 percent and 90 percent, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the turbine is not to exceed 5 percent, determine (a) the condenser pressure, (b) the net power output, and (c) the thermal efficiency

Answer:

A) condenser pressure = 9.73 kPa,

B) 10242 kw

C) 36.9%

Explanation:

given data

entrance pressure of steam = 12.5 MPa

temperature of steam = 550⁰c

flow rate of steam = 7.7 kg/s

outer pressure = 2 MPa

reheated steam temperature = 450⁰c

isentropic efficiency of turbine( nt ) = 85% = 0.85

isentropic efficiency of pump = 90% = 0.90

From steam tables

at 12.5 MPa and 550⁰c ; h3 = 3476.5 kJ/kg,  S3 = 6.6317 kJ/kgK

also for an Isentropic expansion

S4s = S3 .

therefore when S4s = 6.6317 kJ/kg and P4 = 2 MPa

h4s = 2948.1 kJ/kg

nt = 0.85

nt (0.85) = \frac{h3-h4}{h3-h4s} = \frac{3476.5 - h4}{3476.5 - 2948.1}

making h4 subject of the equation

h4 = 3476.5 - 0.85 (3476.5 - 2948.1)

h4 = 3027.3 kj/kg

at P5 = 2 MPa and T5 = 450⁰c

h5 = 3358.2 kj/kg,  s5 = 7.2815 kj/kgk

at P6 , x6 = 0.95  and s5 = s6

using nt = 0.85 we can calculate for h6 and h6s

from the chart attached below we can see that

p6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kj/kg

B) the net power output

solution is attached below

c) thermal efficiency

thermal efficiency = 1 - \frac{qout}{qin} = 1 - ( 2273.7/ 3603.8) = 36.9% ≈ 37%

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be ca
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula \frac{rpm*T}{5252}, where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct

Create a separate function file fieldtovar.m that receives a single structure as an input and assigns each of the field values t
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation gives the answer

Explanation:

% Using MATLAB,

% Matlab file : fieldtovar.m

function varargout = fieldtovar(S)

% function that accepts single structure as input, assigning each

% of the field values to user-defined variables

fields = fieldnames(S); % get the field names of the input structure

% check if number of user-defined variables and number of fields in

% structure are equal

if nargout == length(fields)

% if equal assign each value of structure to user-defined varable

for i=1:nargout

varargout{i} = getfield(S,fields{i});

end

else

% if not equal display an error message

error('The number of output variables does not equal the number of fields');

end

end

%This brings an end to the program

Explain why the failure of a garden hose occurred near its end and why the tear occurred along its length. Use numerical values
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Most hydraulic systems develops pressure surges that may surpass settings valve. by exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating pressure will shorten the hose life.

Explanation:

Solution

Almost all hydraulic systems creates pressure surges that may exceed relief valve settings. exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating  pressure shortens the hose life.

In systems where pressure peaks are severe, select or pick a hose with higher maximum operating  pressure or choose a spiral reinforced hose specifically designed for severe pulsing applications.

Generally, hoses are designed or created to accommodate pressure surges and have operating pressures that is equal to 25% of the hose minimum pressure burst.

What is the metal removal rate when a 2 in-diameter hole 3.5 in deep is drilled in 1020 steel at cutting speed of 120 fpm with a
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) the metal removal rate is 14.4 in³/min

b) the cutting time is 0.98 min

Explanation:

Given the data from the question

first we find the rpm for the spindle of the drilling tool, using the equation

Ns = 12V/πD

V is the cutting speed(120 fpm) and D is the diameter of the hole( 2 in)

so we substitute

Ns = 12 × 120 / π2

Ns = 1440 / 6.2831

Ns = 229.18 rmp

Now we find the metal removal rate using the equation

MRR = (πD²/4) Fr × Ns

Fr is the feed rate( 0.02 ipr ),

so we substitute

MRR = ((π × 2²)/4) × 0.02 × 229.18

MRR = 14.3998 ≈ 14.4 in³/min

Therefore the metal removal rate is 14.4 in³/min

Next we find the allowance for approach of the tip of the drill

A = D/2

A = 2/2

= 1 in

now find the time required to drill the hole

Tm = (L + A) / (Fr × Ns)

Lis the the depth of the hole( 3.5 in)

so we substitute our values

Tm = (3.5 + 1) / (0.02 × 229.18  )

Tm = 4.5 / 4.5836

Tm = 0.98 min

Therefore the cutting time is 0.98 min

Un mol de gas ideal realiza un trabajo de 3000 J sobre su entorno, cuando se expande de manera isotermica a una temperatura de 5
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

74,4 litros

Explanation:

Dado que

W = nRT ln (Vf / Vi)

W = 3000J

R = 8,314 JK-1mol-1

T = 58 + 273 = 331 K

Vf = desconocido

Vi = 25 L

W / nRT = ln (Vf / Vi)

W / nRT = 2.303 log (Vf / Vi)

W / nRT * 1 / 2.303 = log (Vf / Vi)

Vf / Vi = Antilog (W / nRT * 1 / 2.303)

Vf = Antilog (W / nRT * 1 / 2.303) * Vi

Vf = Antilog (3000/1 * 8,314 * 331 * 1 / 2,303) * 25

Vf = 74,4 litros
