A well-established way of power generation involves the utilization of geothermal energy-the energy of hot water that exists nat

urally underground- as the heat source.If a supply of hot water at 140oC is discovered at a location where the environmental temperature is 20oC, determine the maximum thermal efficiency a geothermal power plant built at that location can have.

Answer:

the maximum thermal efficiency is 29%

Explanation:

the maximum efficiency for a thermal engine that works between a cold source and a hot source is the one of a Carnot engine. Its efficiency is given by

Maximum efficiency= 1 - T2/T1

where

T2= absolute temperature of the cold sink (environment)= 20°C + 273 = 293

T2= absolute temperature of the hot source (hot water supply) = 140°C + 273 = 413

therefore

Maximum efficiency= 1 - T2/T1 = 1 - 293/413 = 0,29 =29%

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of
lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 150 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas  = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas   = v L

V_2 = final volume of gas  = \frac{v}{3}L

150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}  

P_2=450kPa

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

Ti-6Al-4V has a fracture toughness of 74.6 MPa-m0.5. How much stress (in MPa) would it take to fail a plate loaded in tension th
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

critical stress  = 595 MPa

Explanation:

given data

fracture toughness =  74.6 MPa-\sqrt{m}

crack length = 10 mm

f = 1

solution

we know crack length = 10 mm  

and crack length = 2a as given in figure attach

so 2a = 10

a = 5 mm

and now we get here with the help of plane strain condition , critical stress is express as

critical stress  = \frac{k}{f\sqrt{\pi a}}    ......................1

put here value and we get

critical stress  = \frac{74.6}{1\sqrt{\pi 5\times 10^{-3}}}

critical stress  = 595 MPa

so here stress is change by plane strain condition because when plate become thinner than condition change by plane strain to plain stress.

plain stress condition occur in thin body where stress through thickness not vary by the thinner section.
