Answer:

a. Wa = 73.14 Btu/lbm

b. Sgen = 0.05042 Btu/lbm °R

c. Isentropic efficiency is 70.76%

d. Minimum specific work for compressor W = -146.2698 Btu/lbm [It is negative because work is being done on the compressor]

Explanation:

Complete question is as follows;

Air initially at 120 psia and 500oF is expanded by an adiabatic turbine to 15 psia and 200oF. Assuming air can be treated as an ideal gas and has variable specific heat.

a) Determine the specific work output of the actual turbine (Btu/lbm).

b) Determine the amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process (Btu/lbm R).

c) Determine the isentropic efficiency of this turbine (%).

d) Suppose the turbine now operates as an ideal compressor (reversible and adiabatic) where the initial pressure is 15 psia, the initial temperature is 200 oF, and the ideal exit state is 120 psia. What is the minimum specific work the compressor will be required to operate (Btu/lbm)?

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and
shutvik [7]

The number of trays that should be prepared if the owner wants a service level of at least 95% is; 7 trays

<h3>How to utilize z-score statistics?</h3>

We are given;

Mean; μ = 15

Standard Deviation; σ = 5

We are told that the distribution of demand score is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula for z-score is;

z = (x' - μ)/σ

We want to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.95;

P(X > x) = P(z > (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

⇒ 1 -  P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.95

Thus;

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 1 - 0.95

P(z ≤ (x - 15)/5) = 0.05

The value of z from the z-table of 0.05 is -1.645

Thus;

(x - 15)/5 = -1.645

x ≈ 7

Complete Question is;

A bakery wants to determine how many trays of doughnuts it should prepare each day. Demand is normal with a mean of 15 trays and standard deviation of 5 trays. If the owner wants a service level of at least 95%, how many trays should he prepare (rounded to the nearest whole tray)? Assume doughnuts have no salvage value after the day is complete. 6 5 4 7 unable to determine with the above information.

A certain piece of property is assessed at $150,000. If the tax rate is $2.50 per $100, what is the tax on this property?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tax on this property is 3750 dollars

Explanation:

Given

Tax on per $100 is $2.50

Tax on every $1 is \frac{2.5}{100} = 0.025 dollars

Tax on property of value $150,000 is

150,000 * 0.025 = 3750 dollars

The tax on this property is 3750 dollars

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría
liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es 0.820196

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

X: '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante (p=0.85) y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a X como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

X ~ Bi(n,p) en donde ''n'' es el número de personas entrevistadas y ''p'' es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.

Utilizando los datos ⇒ X ~ Bi(10,0.85)

La función de probabilidad de la variable aleatoria binomial es :

p_{X}(x)=P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&x\end{array}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}    con x=0,1,2,...,n

Si reemplazamos los datos de la pregunta en la función de probabilidad obtenemos :

P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}10&x\end{array}\right)(0.85)^{x}(0.15)^{10-x} con x=0,1,2,...,10

Nos piden la probabilidad de que por lo menos 8 personas adquieran el nuevo producto, esto es :

P(X\geq 8)=P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)

Calculando P(X=8), P(X=9) y P(X=10) por separado y sumando, obtenemos que P(X\geq 8)=0.820196

A large particle composite consisting of tungsten particles within a copper matrix is to be prepared. If the volume fractions of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite.

First step is to calculate the maximum modulus for the combined material using this formula

Modulus of Elasticity for mixture

E= EcuVcu+EwVw

Let pug in the formula

E =( 110 x 0.40)+ (407 x 0.60)

E=44+244.2 GPa

E=288.2GPa

Second step is to calculate the combined specific gravity using this formula

p= pcuVcu+pwTw

Let plug in the formula

p = (19.3 x 0.40) + (8.9 x 0.60)

p=7.72+5.34

p=13.06

Now let calculate the UPPER BOUNDS and the LOWER BOUNDS of the Specific stiffness

UPPER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Upper bounds=E/p

Let plug in the formula

Upper bounds=288.2/13.06

Upper bounds=22.07 GPa

LOWER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Lower bounds=EcuVcu/pcu+EwVw/pw

Let plug in the formula

Lower bounds =( 110 x 0.40)/8.9+ (407 x 0.60)/19.3

Lower bounds=(44/8.9)+(244.2/19.3)

Lower bounds=4.94+12.65

Lower bounds=17.59 GPa

Therefore the Estimated upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite will be:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa
