A cylinder fitted with a movable piston contains water at 3 MPa with 50% quality, at which point the volume is 20 L. The water n

ow expands to 1.2 MPa as a result of receiving 600 kJ of heat from a large source at 300◦C. It is claimed that the water does 124 kJ of work during this process. Is this possible?

Answer:

The process is possible:

Explanation:

We are going to find out if the entropy generated is greater than 0, if it is greater than 0, then the process is feasible. If it is not, the process is not feasible.

P_{1} = 3 MPa

x_{1} = 50 % = 0.5

V_{1} = 20 L = 0.02 m^{3}

P_{2} = 1.2 MPa

T_{H} = 300^{0} C = 573 K

Received heat energy, Q_{12} = 600 kJ

Work done, W_{12} = 124 kJ

At state 1, using the steam table:

T_{1} = T_{s} = 233.9^{0} C\\v_{f1} = 0.001216 m^{3} /kg\\v_{fg1} = 0.06546m^{3} /kg\\u_{f1} = 1004.76 kJ/kg\\u_{fg1} = 1599.34 kJ/kg\\s_{f1} = 2.6456 kJ/kg-K\\s_{fg1} = 3.5412kJ/kg-K

v_{1} = v_{f1} + x_{1} * v_{fg1}

v_{1} = 0.001216 + 0.5*(0.06546)\\v_{1} = 0.03395 m^{3} /kg

M = \frac{V_{1} }{v_{1} } \\M = 0.02/0.03395\\M = 0.5892 kg

u_{1} = u_{f1} + x_{1} * u_{fg1}\\u_{1} = 1004.76 + 0.5*1599.34\\u_{1} = 1804.43 kJ/kg

s_{1} = s_{f1} + x_{1} * s_{fg1}\\s_{1} = 2.6456 + 0.5*3.5412\\s_{1} = 4.4162 kJ/kg

Q_{12} = m(u_{2} - u_{1} ) + W_{12} \\600 = 0.5892(u_{2} -1804.43) + 124\\

Solving for u₂

u_{2} = 2612.3 kJ/kg

Since P₂ = 1.2 MPa, u₂ = 2612.2 kJ/kg,

then from steam table, T₂ = 200°C, S₂ = 6.5898 kJ/kg-K

The entropy generated will be:

\triangle S = m(S_{2} -S_{1} ) - \frac{Q_{12} }{T_{H} }\\  \triangle S= 0.5892(6.5898 - 4.4162) - \frac{600 }{573 }\\ \triangle S =0.233 kJ/K

Since ΔS > 0, this process is possible

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

flow(m) = 7.941 lbm/s

Q_in = 90.5184 Btu/lbm

Q_out = 56.01856 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Given:

- T_1 = 60 F = 520 R

- T_6 = 940 = 1400 R

- Heat ratio for air k = 1.4

- Compression ratio r = 3

- W_net,out = 1000 hp

Find:

mass flow rate of the air

rates of heat addition and rejection

Solution:

- Using ideal gas relation compute T_2, T_4, T_10:

                     T_2 = T_1 * r^(k-1/k)

                     T_2 = T_4 = T_10 = 520*3^(.4/1.4) = 711.744 R

- Using ideal gas relation compute T_7, T_5, T_9:

                     T_7 = T_6 * r^(-k-1/k)

                     T_7 = T_5 = T_9 = 1400*3^(-.4/1.4) = 1022.84 R

- The mass flow rate is obtained by:

                     flow(m) = W_net,out / 2*c_p*(1400-1022.84-711.744+520)

                     flow(m) = 1000*.7068 / 2*0.24*(1400-1022.84-711.744+520)

                     flow(m) = 7.941 lbm/s

- The heat input is as follows:

                     Q_in = c_p*(T_6 - T_5)

                     Q_in = 0.24*(1400 - 1022.84)

                     Q_in = 90.5184 Btu/lbm

- The heat output is as follows:

                     Q_out = c_p*(T_10 - T_1)

                     Q_out = 0.24*(711.744 - 520)

                    Q_out = 56.01856 Btu/lbm

vertical gate in an irrigation canal holds back 12.2 m of water. Find the average force on the gate if its width is 3.60 m. Repo
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The right solution is "2625 kN".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The average pressure will be:

= density\times g\times \frac{h}{2}

By putting values, we get

= 1000\times 9.8\times \frac{12.2}{2}

= 1000\times 9.8\times 6.1

= 59780

hence,

The average force will be:

= Pressure\times Area

= 59780\times 3.6\times 12.2

= 2625537 \ N

Or,

= 2625 \ kN

For laminar flow over a hot flat plate, the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance because (select all that are
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

B. The thickness of the heated region near the plate is increasing.

Explanation:

First we know that, a boundary layer is the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The fluid is often slower due to the effects of viscosity. Advection i.e the transfer of heat by the flow of liquid becomes less since the flow is slower, thereby the local heat transfer coefficient decreases.

From law of conduction, we observe that heat transfer rate will decrease based on a smaller rate of temperature, the thickness therefore increases while the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance.

What does the air change rate represent?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The removal or addition of air volume to the space is the air change rate
  • The rate of air change is positive when air volume is added to the space and the rate of air change is negative when air volume is removed from the space.
  • The standard built home has a 0.5 to 1 of air change rate.
  • The rate of air change is dependent on the building (how the building form)
