The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re

spectively. For each case, evalutate the net power developed by the cycle, in kW, and the thermal efficiency. Also in each case apply below equation on a time-rate basis to determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.
Equation: ∫ (SQ / T)b = -σ cycle
(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW
(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW
(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 %  , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 %     , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 %  , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

  TL = 400 K

  TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

                                 W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

                                 n_th < n_max     ...... irreversible

                                 n_th = n_max     ...... reversible

                                 n_th > n_max     ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

                                n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And,                         n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 33.333 %                n_max = 66.67 %

                                       n_th < n_max  

      Hence,                Irreversible Process  

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

                 n_th = 100 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th > n_max  

      Hence,               Impossible Process              

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 66.67 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th = n_max  

      Hence,                Reversible Process

Isormophous phase diagram
shusha [124]

Answer:

Phase diagrams represent the relationship between temperature and the composition of phases present at equilibrium. An isomorphous system is one in which the solid has the same structure for all compositions. The phase diagram shown is the diagram for Cu-Ni, which is an isomorphous alloy system.

Answer:

John should detail his Scrum Master.

Explanation:

The Team Lead or Scrum Master coordinates the tasks of individual team members and supports the progress of the team. The Scrum Master usually receives instructions from the Product Owner and then ensures that the tasks are performed accordingly.  She also coaches the Development Team and works with the Product Owner to carry out daily development activities.  She also drives the Scrum Values and Principles, ensuring that the team members understand and practice them.
