s, and the power developed is 2626 kW. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negigible.
Determine :

Answer:

Explanation:

Obtain the following properties at 6MPa and 600°C from the table "Superheated water".

h_1=3658.8KL/Kg\\s_1=7.1693kJ/kg.k

Obtain the following properties at 10kPa from the table "saturated water"

h_{f2}=191.81KJ/Kg.K\\h_{fg2}=2392.1KJ/Kg\\s_{f2}=0.6492KJ/Kg.K\\s_{fg2}=7.4996KJ/Kg.K

Calculate the enthalpy at exit of the turbine using the energy balance equation.

\frac{dE}{dt}=Q-W+m(h_1-h_2)

Since, the process is isentropic process Q=0

0=0-W+m(h_1-h_2)\\h_2=h_1-\frac{W}{m}\\\\h_2=3658.8-\frac{2626}{2}\\\\=2345.8kJ/kg

Use the isentropic relations:

s_1=s_{2s}\\s_1=s_{f2}+x_{2s}s_{fg2}\\7.1693=6492+x_{2s}(7.4996)\\x_{2s}=87

Calculate the enthalpy at isentropic state 2s.

h_{2s}=h_{f2}+x_{2s}.h_{fg2}\\=191.81+0.87(2392.1)\\=2272.937kJ/kg

a.)

Calculate the isentropic turbine efficiency.

\eta_{turbine}=\frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\=\frac{3658.8-2345.8}{3658.8-2272.937}=0.947=94.7%

b.)

Find the quality of the water at state 2

since h_f at 10KPa <h_2<h_g at 10KPa

Therefore, state 2 is in two-phase region.

h_2=h_{f2}+x_2(h_{fg2})\\2345.8=191.81+x_2(2392.1)\\x_2=0.9

Calculate the entropy at state 2.

s_2=s_{f2}+x_2.s_{fg2}\\=0.6492+0.9(7.4996)\\=7.398kJ/Kg.K

Calculate the rate of entropy production.

S=\frac{Q}{T}+m(s_2-s_1)

since, Q = 0

S=m(s_2-s_1)\\=2\frac{kg}{s}(7.398-7.1693)kJ/kg\\=0.4574kW/k

1. Fatigue equations are based solely on theoretical assumptions. Experimental data is only used to verify the theory. a. True.b
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

1.  b. False

2. b. False

3.  b. False

4.  b. False

5. a. True

6. a. True

7.  b. False

8.  b. False

9. a. True

Explanation:

1. The fatigue properties of a material  are determined by series of test.

2. For most steels there is a level of fatigue limit below which a component will survive an infinite number of cycles, for aluminum and titanium a fatigue limit can not be defined, as failure will eventually occur after enough experienced cycles.

3. Although there is a cyclic stress, there are also stresses complex circumstances involving tensile to compresive and constant stress, where the solution is given into the mean stress and the stress amplitude or stress range, which is double the stress amplitude.

4. Low‐cycle fatigue is defined as few thousand cycles and high cycle fatigue is around more than 10,000 cycles.

5. The number of cycles for failure on brittle materials are less and determined compared with the ductile materials.

6.  The bending fatigue could be handled with specific load requirements  for uniform bending or axial fatigue of the same section size where the material near the surface is subjected to the  maximum stress, as in torsional fatigue, which can be performed on  axial-type specially designed machines also, using the proper fixtures if  the maximum twist required is small, in which linear motion is changed to rotational motion.

7.  A SN-Curve for a given material, is a plot displayed on logarithmic scales of the magnitude of an alternating stress in relation to the number of cycles to failure

8. The strain life method measures the strain resistance of local stresses and strains around stress concentration that controls the fatigue life of the material. It is more accurate than determining fatigue performance as the stress-life method is for long life millions of cycles in elastic stresses, but an it gets an effective stress concentration in fatigue loading.

9. Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) states that the material is isotropic and linear elastic so, when the stresses near the crack surpasses the material fracture toughness, the crack grows.

3. (a) (5 points) Suppose N packets arrive simultaneously to a link at which no packets are currently being transmitted or queue
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

(N-1) × (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

Explanation:

let L is length of packet

R is rate

N is number of packets

then

first packet arrived with 0 delay

Second packet arrived at = L/R

Third packet arrived at = 2L/R

Nth packet arrived at = (n-1)L/R

Total queuing delay = L/R + 2L/R + ... + (n - 1)L/R = L(n - 1)/2R

Now

L / R = (1000) / (10^6 ) s = 1 ms

L/2R = 0.5 ms

average queuing delay for N packets = (N-1) * (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

the average queuing delay of a packet = 0 ( put N=1)

Explain the working and performance of a centrifugal clutch with a sketch​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

A centrifugal clutch works, as the name suggests, through centrifugal force.

One of the most common methods is by mounting the clutch onto the parallel or taper crank shaft of the engine.

When the crank shaft rotates the shaft of the clutch rotates at the same speed as the engine

¿Cuál de los siguientes factores reduciría el riesgo de roturas por un choque térmico a. Alto coeficiente de dilatación térmico
hoa [83]

Answer:

c. Alto módulo de elasticidad

Explanation:

The correct answer to the given question is c. Alto modulo de elasticidad

A Youngs modulus measures the resistance of any material to elastic deformation. It is basically the ratio of the stress applied to a body to the results of the stress which is the response of the body over the pressure applied. This is to test the stiffness of any material and most of time the material stays constant over stressing.

This test should be performed on all cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A continuity test

Explanation:

A continuity test is used to verified that current will flow in an electrical circuit, it performed by placing a small voltage across the chosen path. continuity test ensure that the equipment grounding conductor is electrically continuous and this test is perform on all the cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and cord-and-plug connected equipment required to be grounded. example of equipment used in testing current flow in continuity test are Analog multi-meter, voltage/continuity tester etc.

Continuity test and terminal connection test are the two test required by OSHA on all electrical equipment
