illion kW-hr/year of electricity. Ignore losses in the pump and turbine. If the generator is 98% efficient and boiler is 84% efficient, and coal costs $30/tonne, determine:
a. The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
b. The total coal energy content required per year.
c. The annual coal expenditures.
d. The mass of CO2 emitted per year from the plant.
e. The mass of CO2 emitted per million kW-hr produced.

State Location h(KJ/kg)
1 boiler exit, turbine entrance 2784.3
2 turbine exit, condenser entrance 2041.6
3 condenser exit, pump entrance 340.5
4 pump exit, boiler entrance 346.6

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal Efficiency=0.98*0.84=0.8232

Total energy produced=2784.3*0.98+2041.6*0.84+340.5+346.6=5150.658 kJ/kg

Toal coal consumed=2.1*10^9*3600/5130.658=1473495.213 tonnes

Total cost=4.42*10^7 $

Mass of CO2 produced=Total Coal consumed*(Mass of CO2/Mass Of C)=54028158.11 tonnes

Mass of CO2/million kWH=25727.694

OR

Work done by turbine(Wt)

=(h1-h2) = 2784.3 - 2041.6 = 742.7 KJ/Kg

Work done on Pump(Wp) = (h4-h3) = 6.1 KJ/kg

Work Done by Boiler(Wb) = (1/efficiency)*(h1-h4) =(1/0.84) *(2784.3-346.6) = 2902.02 KJ/Kg

Thermal Efficiency = (Wt-Wp)/Wb = 25.38 Percent

Total Work by Turbine = (1/0.98)*2.1 Billion KW-hr/year

Total Coal Energy = (1/0.2538)*(1/0.98)*2.1 Billion KW-hr/year = 8.443 Billion KW-hr/year

Toatal coal required for an year

m*742.7 = (1/0.98)*2.1 Billion KW-hr/year = (1/0.98)*2.1*10^9*60 KJ/year

m = 1731.14 Tonnes

annual coal cost =1731.14*30 = 51934.2 dollars

2 metric tons of CO2 per one Kilowatt-hour (from graph)

Total CO2 emission = 2.1*10^9*2 = 4.2 Billion Metric tonnes

Total CO2 emitted per million KW-hr Produced = 2 million Metric tons

Create an abstract class DiscountPolicy. It should have a single abstract method computeDiscount that will return the discount f
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Java Code was used to define classes in the abstract discount policy,The bulk discount, The buy items get one free and the combined discount

Explanation:

Solution

Code:

Main.java

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

  BulkDiscount bd=new BulkDiscount(10,5);

BuyNItemsGetOneFree bnd=new BuyNItemsGetOneFree(5);

CombinedDiscount cd=new CombinedDiscount(bd,bnd);

System.out.println("Bulk Discount :"+bd.computeDiscount(20, 20));

  System.out.println("Nth item discount :"+bnd.computeDiscount(20, 20));

 System.out.println("Combined discount :"+cd.computeDiscount(20, 20));    

  }

}

discountPolicy.java

public abstract class DiscountPolicy

{    

public abstract double computeDiscount(int count, double itemCost);

}    

BulkDiscount.java  

public class BulkDiscount extends DiscountPolicy

{    

private double percent;

private double minimum;

public BulkDiscount(int minimum, double percent)

{

this.minimum = minimum;

this.percent = percent;

}

at Override

public double computeDiscount(int count, double itemCost)

{

if (count >= minimum)

{

return (percent/100)*(count*itemCost); //discount is total price * percentage discount

}

return 0;

}

}

BuyNItemsGetOneFree.java

public class BuyNItemsGetOneFree extends DiscountPolicy

{

private int itemNumberForFree;

public BuyNItemsGetOneFree(int n)

{

  itemNumberForFree = n;

}

at Override

public double computeDiscount(int count, double itemCost)

{

if(count > itemNumberForFree)

return (count/itemNumberForFree)*itemCost;

else

  return 0;

}

}

CombinedDiscount.java

public class CombinedDiscount extends DiscountPolicy

{

private DiscountPolicy first, second;

public CombinedDiscount(DiscountPolicy firstDiscount, DiscountPolicy secondDiscount)

{

first = firstDiscount;

second = secondDiscount;

}

at Override

public double computeDiscount(int count, double itemCost)

{

double firstDiscount=first.computeDiscount(count, itemCost);

double secondDiscount=second.computeDiscount(count, itemCost);

if(firstDiscount>secondDiscount){

  return firstDiscount;

}else{

  return secondDiscount;

The controller determines if a(n) _________ exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.
shusha [124]

The controller determines if a(n) error exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.

<h3>How does a controller work in control system?</h3>

The Control system is one where it entails if the output is one that has an effect on the input quantity.

So it uses the PV(Process Variable) set against the SP(Setpoint) to know if an error exists.

So, The controller determines if a(n) error exists by calculating the difference between the SP and the PV.

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s

\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj

For water,

\Delta T=10^{\circ}C

(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒  m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\

⇒  13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84

⇒  M_{w}=330 \ kg/s

What is the weight density of a 2.24 in diameter titanium sphere that weights 0.82 lb?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

0.14\ lb/in^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass ler unit volume, expressed as

\rho=\frac {m}{v}

Where m is mass, \rho is density and v is the volume. For a sphere, volume is given as

v=\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}

Replacing this into the formula of density then

\rho=\frac {m}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}}

Given diameter of 2.24 in then the radius is 1.12 in. Substituting 0.82 lb for m then

\rho=\frac {0.82}{\frac {4\pi 1.12^{3}}{3}}=0.13932044952427\approx 0.14 lb/in^{3}
