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

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

Explanation:

Given that

Plant produce 6.50 × 10⁸ J/s of energy.

It produce  6.50 × 10⁸ J in 1 s.

We know that

1 year = 365 days

1 days = 24 hr

1 hr = 3600 s

1 year = 365 x 24 x 3600 s

1 year = 31536000 s

So energy produce in 1 year = 31536000 x  6.50 × 10⁸ J/year

          Energy produce in one year = 204984 x 10¹² J/year

          Energy produce in one year =20.49 x 10¹⁶ J/year

Help now please evaluate using the commutative property: 40 (32) (10) (25)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

#The commutative property of multiplication tells us that it doesn't matter in what order you multiply numbers. The formula for this property is a * b = b * a:

40\times32\times10\times 25=320,000\\\\25\times10\times32\times 40=320,000\\\\10\times32\times25\times 40=320,000\\\\32\times25\times40\times 10=320,000

Hence, the product of the four numbers remains 320,000 irrespective of their order.

BE-40 What is a characteristic of a catamaran hull?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

<em>A stable ride</em>

Explanation:

A Catamaran hull is a form of sea craft invented by the Austronesian peoples, the invention of the Catamaran hull enabled these people to sail across the sea in their expansion to the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Catamaran has multiple hulls, usually two parallel hulls of equal size. This geometric feature gives the craft an increased stability because,<em> it derives extra stability from its wide beam, in the place of a ballasted keel employed in a regular monohull sailboat. </em>A Catamaran hull will require four times the force needed to capsize it, when compared to an equivalent monohull.
