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

Citrus2011 [14]
Scientific notation is another way to write a number. In scientific notation, the letter E is used to mean "10 to the power of." For example, 1.314E+1 means 1.314 * 101 which is 13.14 . Scientific notation is merely a format used for input and output.

What's the difference between accuracy and percision in measuring and gaging?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The term Accuracy means that how close our result to the original result.

Suppose we do any experiment in laboratory and we calculate mass = 7 kg but answer is mass = 15 kg then our answer is not accurate.

And the term Precision means how likely we get result like this.

Suppose we do any experiment in laboratory and we calculate mass five times and each time we get mass = 7 kg then our answer is precised but not accurate.
