he turbine. a) Calculate the cycle efficiency of the Rankine cycle. b) Calculate the work ratio of the Rankine cycle.
1 answer:
Answer:
a)38.65%
b)1221KJ/kg
Explanation:
A rankine cycle is a generation cycle using water as a working fluid, when heat enters the boiler the water undergoes a series of changes in state and energy until generating power through the turbine.
This cycle is composed of four main components, the boiler, the pump, the turbine and the condenser as shown in the attached image
To solve any problem regarding the rankine cycle, enthalpies in all states must be calculated using the thermodynamic tables and taking into account the following.
• The pressure of state 1 and 4 are equal
• The pressure of state 2 and 3 are equal
• State 1 is superheated steam
• State 2 is in saturation state
• State 3 is saturated liquid at the lowest pressure
• State 4 is equal to state 3 because the work of the pump is negligible.
Once all enthalpies are found, the following equations are used using the first law of thermodynamics
Wout = m (h1-h2)
Qin = m (h1-h4)
Win = m (h4-h3)
Qout = m (h2-h1)
The efficiency is calculated as the power obtained on the heat that enters
Efficiency = Wout / Qin
Efficiency = (h1-h2) / (h1-h4)
first we calculate the enthalpies in all states
h1=3264kJ/Kg
h2=2043kJ/Kg
h2=h3=105.4kJ/Kg
a)we use the ecuation for efficiency
Efficiency = (h1-h2) / (h1-h4)
Efficiency = (3264-2043) / (3264-105.4)
=0.3865=38.65%
b)we use the ecuation for Wout
Wout = m (h1-h2)
for work ratio=
w = (h1-h2)
w=(3264-2043)=1221KJ/kg

Kindly check the attached images below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
Answer:
N_c = 3.03 N
F = 1.81 N
Explanation:
Given:
- The attachment missing from the question is given:
- The given expressions for the radial and θ direction of motion:
r = 0.5*θ
θ = 0.5*t^2 ...... (correction for the question)
- Mass of peg m = 0.5 kg
Find:
a) Determine the magnitude of the force of the rod on the peg at the instant t = 2 s.
b) Determine the magnitude of the normal force of the slot on the peg.
Solution:
- Determine the expressions for radial kinematics:
dr/dt = 0.5*dθ/dt
d^2r/dt^2 = 0.5*d^2θ/dt^2
- Similarly the expressions for θ direction kinematics:
dθ/dt = t
d^2θ/dt^2 = 1
- Evaluate each at time t = 2 s.
θ = 0.5*t^2 = 0.5*2^2 = 2 rad -----> 114.59°
r = 1 m , dr / dt = 1 m/s , d^2 r / dt^2 = 0.5 m/s^2
- Evaluate the angle ψ between radial and horizontal direction:
tan Ψ = r / (dr/dθ) = 1 / 0.5
Ψ = 63.43°
- Develop a free body diagram (attached) and the compute the radial and θ acceleration:
a_r = d^2r / dt^2 - r * dθ/dt
a_r = 0.5 - 1*(2)^2 = -3.5 m/s^2
a_θ = r * (d^2θ/dt^2) + 2 * (dr/dt) * (dθ/dt)
a_θ = 1(1) + 2*(1)*(2) = 5 m/s^2
- Using Newton's Second Law of motion to construct equations in both radial and θ directions as follows:
Radial direction: N_c * cos(26.57) - W*cos(24.59) = m*a_r
θ direction: F - N_c * sin(26.57) + W*sin(24.59) = m*a_θ
Where, F is the force on the peg by rod and N_c is the normal force on peg by the slot. W is the weight of the peg. Using radial equation:
N_c * cos(26.57) - 4.905*cos(24.59) = 0.5*-3.5
N_c = 3.03 N
F - 3.03 * sin(26.57) + 4.905*sin(24.59) = 0.5*5
F = 1.81 N
