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

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:A. No one has ever beat Nancy.

Explanation:

The dormain of discourse in a simple language is the set of entities upon which our discussions are based when discussing about something.

The dormain of discourse is also known simply as universe, can also be said to be a set of entities o

upon which certain variables of interest in some formal treatment may range.

The dormain of discourse is generally attributed to Augustus De Morgan, it was also extensively used by George Boole in his Laws of Thought.

THE LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE THE QUESTION IS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER BEAT NANCY.

Electric current originates from which part of an atom? *
yanalaym [24]

Answer: Electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.

Explanation:

The movement of ions (positive or negative) from one point to another is called electric current.

An atom has three sub-atomic particles. These are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged. Protons and neutrons reside inside the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

So, protons and electrons are responsible for originating electric current form an atom as these are the charged particles.

Thus, we can conclude that electric current originates from positively charged protons negatively charged electrons of an atom.
