Answer:

For this ideal Rankine cycle:

A) The rate of heat addition into the cycle Qh is 3214.59KJ/Kg.

B) The thermal efficiency of the system εt=0.4354.

C) The rate of heat rejection from the cycle Qc is 1833.32KJ/Kg.

D) The back work ratio is 0.013

Explanation:

To solve the ideal Rankine cycle we have to determinate the thermodynamic information of each point of the cycle. We will use a water thermodynamic properties table. In an ideal Rankine cycle, the process in the turbine and the pump must be isentropic. Therefore S₃=S₄ and S₁=S₂.

We will start with the point 3:

P₃=18000KPa  T₃=550ºc ⇒ h₃=3416.12 KJ/Kg  S₃=6.40690 KJ/Kg

Point 4:

P₄=9KPa S₄=S₃ ⇒ h₄=2016.60 (x₄=0.7645 is wet steam)

Point 1:

P₁=P₄ in the endpoint of the steam curve. ⇒ h₁= 193.28KJ/Kg  S₁=0.62235KJ/Kg  x₁=0

Point 2:

P₂=P₃ and S₂=S₁ ⇒ h₂=201.53KJ/Kg

With this information we can obtain the heat rates, the turbine, and the pump work:

Q_h=Q_{2-3}=h_3-h_2=3214.59KJ/Kg

Q_c=Q_{4-1}=h_4-h_1=1833.32KJ/Kg

W_{turb}=W_{3-4}=h_3-h_4=1399.52KJ/Kg

W_{pump}=W_{1-2}=h_2-h_1=18.25KJ/Kg

We can answer the questions with this data:

A) Q_h=Q_{2-3}=h_3-h_2=3214.59KJ/Kg

B) \epsilon_{ther}=\displaystyle\frac{W_{turb}}{Q_h}=0.4354

C)Q_c=Q_{4-1}=h_4-h_1=1833.32KJ/Kg

D) r_{bW}=\displaystyle\frac{W_{pump}}{W_{turb}}=0.013

In designing circular rides for amusement parks, mechanical engineers must consider how small variations in certain parameters c
Bess [88]

Answer:

Part a)

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

Part b)

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that force on the passenger while moving in circle is given as

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now variation in force is given as

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

here speed is constant

Part b)

Now if the variation in force is required such that r is constant then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

so we have

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

As we know that time period of the circular motion is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

so here if radius is constant then variation in time period is given as

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s

The flow control circuit design that can best control an overrunning load is the ____ circuit.
lara31 [8.8K]

The meter out circuit is the flow control circuit design that can most effectively control an overrunning load.

The meter-out circuit can be very accurate, but are not efficient. The meter-out circuit can control overrunning as well as opposing loads while the other one method must be used with opposing loads only. The choice of flown control valve method and the location of the flow control in the circuit are dependent on the type of application being controlled.

<h3>What is a Circuit ?</h3>

In electronics, a circuit is a complete circular conduit through which electricity flows. A simple circuit consists of conductors, a load, and a current source. The term "circuit" broadly refers to any continuous path via which electricity, data, or a signal might flow.

  • The directional valve shifts, causing the actuator to move faster than pump flow can fill it due to an overrunning load. Oil is leaking from one side, whereas there is none on the other.

Hence, flow control circuit design that can best control an overrunning load is the opposing circuit

you toss a bowling ball straight up into the air with a speed of 2.1. how long does it take the bowling ball to reach its highes
omeli [17]
I am going to assume 2.1 metres per second and that we're rounding acceleration due to gravity to -10 metres per second squared. At the highest point, velocity is going to be 0. v= intial velocity + acceleration*time, sub in 0 for velocity, 2.1 for initial velocity and -10 for acceleration to get 0= 2.1-10t. Now solve for t. t=0.21 seconds.
