Water vapor at 6 MPa, 600 degrees C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 10kPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/

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

(a) the isentropic turbine efficiency

(b) the rate of entropy production within the turbine, in kW/K.

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

The design for a new cementless hip implant is to be studied using an instrumented implant and a fixed simulated femur.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) the velocity of the implant immediately after impact is 20 m/s

b) the average resistance of the implant is 40000 N

Explanation:

a) The impulse momentum is:

mv1 + ∑Imp(1---->2) = mv2

According the exercise:

v1=0

∑Imp(1---->2) = F(t2-t1)

m=0.2 kg

Replacing:

0+F(t_{2} -t_{1} )=0.2v_{2}

if F=2 kN and t2-t1=2x10^-3 s. Replacing

0+2x10^{-3} (2x10^{-3} )=0.2v_{2} \\v_{2} =\frac{4}{0.2} =20m/s

b) Work and energy in the system is:

T2 - U(2----->3) = T3

where T2 and T3 are the kinetic energy and U(2----->3) is the work.

T_{2} =\frac{1}{2} mv_{2}^{2}  \\T_{3} =0\\U_{2---3} =-F_{res} x

Replacing:

\frac{1}{2} *0.2*20^{2} -F_{res} *0.001=0\\F_{res} =40000N

A harmonic oscillator with spring constant, k, and mass, m, loses 3 quanta of energy, leading to the emission of a photon.
Monica [59]

Answer: (a). E = 3.1656×10³⁴ √k/m  

(b). f = 9.246 × 10¹² Hz

(c). Infrared region.

Explanation:

From Quantum Theory,

The energy of a proton is proportional to the frequency, from the equation;

E = hf

where E = energy in joules

h = planck's constant i.e. 6.626*10³⁴ Js

f = frequency

(a). from E = hf = 1 quanta

    f = ω/2π

where ω = √k/m

consider 3 quanta of energy is lost;

E = 3hf = 3h/2π × √k/m

E = (3×6.626×10³⁴ / 2π) × √k/m

E = 3.1656×10³⁴ √k/m    

(b). given from the question that K = 15 N/m

and mass M = 4 × 10⁻²⁶ kg

To get the frequency of the emitted photon,

Ephoton =hf = 3h/2π × √k/m (h cancels out)

f = 3h/2π × √k/m

f =  3h/2π × (√15 / 4 × 10⁻²⁶ )

f = 9.246 × 10¹² Hz

(c). The region of electromagnetic spectrum, the photon belongs to is the Infrared Spectrum because the frequency ranges from about 3 GHz to  400 THz in the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is engine knock? What cause the engine knock problem?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

When the uneven burning of the fuel takes place due to the incorrect air/fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder, a knocking sound is observed. This is called as the engine knocking.

Explanation:

When the uneven burning of the fuel takes place due to the incorrect air/fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder, a knocking sound is observed. This is called as the engine knocking.

The engine knock problem can be caused due to the following reason

a) When the octane rating of the fuel used is low.

b) The deposition of the carbon around the cylinder walls takes place.

c) The spark plug used in the vehicle is not correct.

Establishes general guidelines concerning licensing and vehicle
gavmur [86]

Answer:

A. National Highway Safety Act

Explanation:

The National Highway Safety Act establishes general guidelines concerning licensing, vehicle registration and inspection, and traffic laws for state regulations. The act was made in 1966 to reduce the amount of death on the highway as a result of increase in deaths by 30% between 1960 and 1965

National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act regulates vehicle manufacturers  by ensuring national safety standards and issuance recalls for defective vehicles

Uniform Traffic Control Devices Act  defines shapes, colors and locations for road signs, traffic signals, and road markings
