Answer:

Screw pumps like those that are used in viscous fluids transportation have lubricating properties. The fluid flows in a line axially without any disturbence. Since, the motion of fluid is free from any sort of rotation even at high speeds there is no turbulence and motion of the pump is quite. Thus screw Pumps provides smooth operation with extremely low pulsation, lower noise levels and higher efficiency.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

temperature of first extraction 330.8°C

temperature of second extraction 140.8°C

power output=3168Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must use the following steps.

1. We will call 1 the water vapor inlet, 2 the first extraction at 100kPa and 3 the second extraction at 200kPa

2. We use the continuity equation that states that the mass flow that enters must equal the two mass flows that leave

m1=m2+m3

As the problem says, 20% of the flow represents the first extraction for which 5 * 20% = 1kg / s

solving

5=1+m3

m3=4kg/s

we find the enthalpies and temeperatures in each of the states, using thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties

4.we find the enthalpy and entropy of state 1 using pressure and temperature

h1=Enthalpy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

h1=3457KJ/kg

s1=Entropy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

s1=7.234KJ/kg

remembering that it is a reversible process we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the first extraction with the pressure 1000 kPa and the entropy of state 1

h2=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P2)

h2=3116KJ/kg

T2=Temperature(Water;P=P2;s=s1)

T2=330.8°C

5.we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the second extraction with the pressure 200 kPav y the entropy of state 1

h3=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P3)

h3=2750KJ/kg

T3=Temperature(Water;P=P3;s=s1)

T3=140.8°C

Finally, to find the power of the turbine, we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy that enters is the same that must come out.

For this case, the turbine uses a mass flow of 5kg / s until the first extraction, and then uses a mass flow of 4kg / s for the second extraction, taking into account the above we infer the following equation

W=m1(h1-h2)+m3(h2-h3)

W=5(3457-3116)+4(3116-2750)=3168Kw

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a little lengthy and tricky, but nevertheless i would give a step by step analysis to make this as simple as possible.

(a). here we are asked to determine the Temperature and Pressure.

Given that the properties of Air;

ha = 230.02 KJ/Kg

Ta = 230 K

Pra = 0.5477

From the energy balance equation for a diffuser;

ha + Va²/2 = h₁ + V₁²/2

h₁ = ha + Va²/2 (where V₁²/2 = 0)

h₁ = 230.02 + 220²/2 ˣ 1/10³

h₁ = 254.22 KJ/Kg

⇒ now we obtain the properties of air at h₁ = 254.22 KJ/Kg

from this we have;

Pr₁ = 0.7329 + (0.8405 - 0.7329)[(254.22 - 250.05) / (260.09 - 250.05)]

Pr₁ = 0.77759

therefore T₁ = 254.15K

P₁ = (Pr₁/Pra)Pa

= 0.77759/0.5477 ˣ 26

P₁ = 36.91 kPa

now we calculate Pr₂

Pr₂ = Pr₁ (P₂/P₁) = 0.77759 ˣ 11 = 8.55349

⇒ now we obtain properties of air at

Pr₂ = 8.55349 and h₂ = 505.387 KJ/Kg

calculating the enthalpy of air at state 2

ηc = h₁ - h₂ / h₁ - h₂

0.85 = 254.22 - 505.387 / 254.22 - h₂

h₂ = 549.71 KJ/Kg

to obtain the properties of air at h₂ = 549.71 KJ/Kg

T₂ = 545.15 K

⇒ to calculate the pressure of air at state 2

P₂/P₁ = 11

P₂ = 11 ˣ 36.913

p₂ = 406.043 kPa

but pressure of air at state 3 is the same,

i.e. P₂ = P₃ = 406.043 kPa

P₃ = 406.043 kPa

To obtain the properties of air at

T₃ = 1400 K, h₃ = 1515.42 kJ/Kg and Pr = 450.5

for cases of turbojet engine,

we have that work output from turbine = work input to the compressor

Wt = Wr

(h₃ - h₄) = (h₂ - h₁)

h₄ = h₃ - h₂ + h₁

= 1515.42 - 549.71 + 254.22

h₄ = 1219.93 kJ/Kg

properties of air at h₄ = 1219.93 kJ/Kg

T₄ = 1140 + (1160 - 1140) [(1219.93 - 1207.57) / (1230.92 - 1207.57)]

T₄ = 1150.58 K

Pr₄ = 193.1 + (207.2 - 193.1) [(1219.93 - 1207.57) / (1230.92 - 1207.57)]

Pr₄ = 200.5636

Calculating the ideal enthalpy of the air at state 4;

Лr = h₃ - h₄ / h₃ - h₄*

0.9 = 1515.42 - 1219.93 / 1515.42 - h₄

h₄* = 1187.09 kJ/Kg

now to obtain the properties of air at h₄⁻ = 1187.09 kJ/Kg

P₄* = 179.7 + (193.1 - 179.7) [(1187.09 -1184.28) / (1207.57 - 1184.28)]

P₄* = 181.316

P₄ = (Pr₄/Pr₃)P₃ i.e. 3-4 isentropic process

P₄ = 181.316/450.5 * 406.043

P₄ = 163.42 kPa

For the 4-5 process;

Pr₅ = (P₅/P₄)Pr₄

Pr₅ = 26/163.42 * 200.56 = 31.9095

to obtain the properties of air at Pr₅ = 31.9095

h₅= 724.04 + (734.82 - 724.04) [(31.9095 - 3038) / (32.02 - 30.38)]

h₅ = 734.09 KJ/Kg

T₅ = 710 + (720 - 710) [(31.9095 - 3038) / (32.02 - 30.38)]

T₅ = 719.32 K

(b) Now we are asked to calculate the rate of heat addition to the air passing through the combustor;

QH = m(h₃-h₂)

QH = 25(1515.42 - 549.71)

QH = 24142.75 kW

(c). To calculate the velocity at the nozzle exit;

we apply steady energy equation of a flow to nozzle

h₄ + V₄²/2 = h₅ + V₅²/2

h₄ + 0 = h₅₅ + V₅²/2

1219.9 ˣ 10³ = 734.09 ˣ 10³ + V₅²/2

therefore, V₅ = 985.74 m/s

To calculate the vertical stress = depth * unit weight of sand

also inverse of Tan = Tan^-1

also qc is in Mpa while σ0 is in kPa

Friction angle at each depth

2 meters = 40.389°

3.5 meters = 38.987°

5 meters = 38.022°

6.5 meters = 39.869°

thickness2=2.2m

convection coefficient=0.33W/m^2K

Explanation:

you must use this equation to calculate the thickness:

L=K(T2-T1)/Q

L=thickness

T=temperature

Q=heat

L1=0.04*(0--350)/10=1.4m

L2=0.1(220-0)/10=2.2m

Then use this equation to calculate the convective coefficient

H=Q/(T2-T1)

H=10/(250-220)=0.33W/m^2K
