A steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle maintains the boiler at 6000 kPa, the turbine inlet at 600 °C, and

the condenser at 50 kPa. Compare the efficiency of this cycle when it is operated so that the liquid enters the pump as a saturated liquid against that when the liquid enters the pump 11.3 °C cooler than a saturated liquid at the condenser pressure.

Answer:

ηa=0.349

ηb=0.345

Explanation:

The enthalpy and entropy at state 3 are determined from the given pressure and temperature with data from table:

h_{3}=3658.8kJ/kg\\ s_{3}=7.1693kJ/kg

The quality at state 4 is determined from the condition  s_{4} =s_{3} and the entropies of the components at the condenser pressure taken from table:

 q_{4} =\frac{s_{4}-s_{liq50}  }{s_{evap,50} } \\=\frac{7.1693-1.0912}{6.5019}=0.935

The enthalpy at state 4 then is:  

h_{4} =h_{liq50} +q_{4} h_{evap,50}\\ (340.54+0.935*2304.7)kJ/kg\\=2495.43kJ/kg\\

Part A

In the case when the water is in a saturated liquid state at the entrance of the pump the enthalpy and specific volume are determined from A-5 for the given pressure:  

h_{1}=340.54kJ/kg\\ \alpha _{1}=0.00103m^3/kg

The enthalpy at state 2 is determined from an energy balance on the pump:

h_{2} =h_{1} +\alpha _{1}( P_{2}-P_{1}  )

    =346.67 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency is then determined from the heat input and output in the cycle:  

=1-\frac{q_{out} }{q_{in} } \\=1-\frac{h_{4} -h_{1} }{h_{3} -h_{2}} \\=0.349

Part B  

In the case when the water is at a lower temperature than the saturation temperature at the condenser pressure we look into table and see the water is in a compressed liquid state. Then we take the enthalpy and specific volume for that temperature with data from  and the saturated liquid values:  

h_{1}=293.7kJ/kg\\ \alpha _{1}=0.001023m^3/kg

The enthalpy at state 2 is then determined from an energy balance on the pump:  

h_{2} =h_{1} +\alpha _{1}( P_{2}-P_{1}  )

    =299.79 kJ/kg  

The thermal efficiency in this case then is:  

=1-\frac{q_{out} }{q_{in} } \\=1-\frac{h_{4} -h_{1} }{h_{3} -h_{2}} \\=0.345

Briefly explain why small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle gra
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle grain boundaries because there is not as much crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for small-angle, and therefore not as much change in slip direction.

Low angle grain boundaries (quasi-coherent) are formed by the dislocation network positioned along the geometric plane with small tilt angle differences between successive peers that is tilt boundary made up edge dislocations therefore it may only divert the slip direction of the incoming gliding dislocation with very little frictional stresses. And on the other hand, a high angle grain boundary region because of their disordered almost liquid like structure which acts as a strong barrier against dislocation slip motion and causes actually formation of dislocations file-up against it by arresting their motion unless that the stress concentration at the leading dislocation becomes high enough to go though the barrier.

Answer the following questions, and very briefly explain your answer:
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

A) micro defects are left behind on the surface of metal components during the manufacturing process. These defects, in the form of micro-cracks or pits, becomes initiation sites for crack propagation or corrosion. Removing these imperfections on the surface of metal parts by electroplating greatly improves the life of metal components.

B) it will reduce fatigue crack growth.

Dispersion hardening involves the inclusion of small, hard particles in the metal, thus restricting the movement of dislocations, and thereby raising the strength properties. In dispersion hardening it is assumed that the precipitates do not deform with the matrix and that a moving dislocation bypasses the obstacles (precipitates) by moving in the clean pieces of crystal between the precipitated particles.

C) stress concentrations such as changes in section with sharp corners caused yielding, which will typically occur first at a stress concentration. For ductile materials localised plastic deformation can cause a redistribution of stress, enabling the component to continue to carry load. Brittle materials will typically fail at the stress concentration. Repeated loading may cause a fatigue crack to initiate and slowly grow at a stress concentration leading to the failure of even ductile materials. Fatigue cracks always start at stress raisers, so removing such defects increases the fatigue strength.

Determine the reactor volume (assume a CSTR activated sludge aerobic reactor at steady state) required to treat 5 MGD of domesti
12345 [234]

Answer:

1.0MG

Explanation:

to solve this problem we use this formula

S₀-S/t = ksx --- (1)

the values have been given as

concentration = S₀ = 250mg

effluent concentration = S= 10mg

value of K = 0.04L/day

x = 3000 mg

when we put these values into this equation,

250-10/t = 0.04x10x3000

240/t = 1200

we cross multiply from this stage

240 = 1200t

t = 240/1200

t = 0.2

remember the question says that 5MGD is required to be treated

so the volume would be

v = 0.2x5

= 1.0 MG

An electric dipole is made of two charges of equal magnitudes and opposite signs. The positive charge, q=1.0 μC, is located at t
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

work done by electric field  is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Two point charge is + 1\mu C  and -1 \mu C

0+1 charge positioned is (0 cm , 1 cm, 0.00 cm)

-1 charge positioned is (0 cm , -1 cm, 0.00 cm)

E = 3.0\times 10^6 N/C

From above information, the distance between  given two charges d = 2 cm

then d = 0.02m

 work needed is W = q E d

W = 1.0 \times 10^{-6} \times 3.0 \times 10^6 \times 0.02

W = 0.06 J  

Therefore work done by electric field  is 0.06 J
