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

Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with
Scilla [17]

Answer:

DIAMETER  = 9.797 m

POWER = \dot W = 28.6 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

circular windmill diamter D1 = 8m

v1 = 12 m/s

wind speed = 8 m/s

we know that specific volume is given as

v =\frac{RT}{P}

  where v is specific volume of air

considering air pressure is 100 kPa and temperature 20 degree celcius

v =  \frac{0.287\times 293}{100}

v = 0.8409 m^3/ kg

from continuity equation

A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2

\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_2

D_2 = D_1 \sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}

D_2 = 8 \times \sqrt{\frac{12}{8}}

D_2 = 9.797 m

mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \frac{A_1 V_1}{v} = \frac{\pi 8^2\times 12}{4\times 0.8049}

\dot m = 717.309 kg/s

the power produced \dot W = \dot m \frac{ V_1^2 - V_2^2}{2} = 717.3009 [\frac{12^2 - 8^2}{2} \times \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}]

\dot W = 28.6 kW

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

-  The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

-  The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

                                        E_6 + E_2 = E_3

               flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

                                    y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

                                  y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y:                          y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

                             q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

                    q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b:               q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

                                       q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

                                 q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c:               q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

                                     w_net = q_b - q_c

                                w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

                                    w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

                                     flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m)          flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

                                     u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

                                     u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

                                     u = 44.48 %

A plane, opaque, surface M has the following properties: gray, diffuse, absorptivity = 0.7, surface area = 0.5 m2 , temperature
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The rate of energy absorbed per unit time is 3500W.

Explanation:

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Plane, opaque, gray, diffuse surface

â = 0.7

Surface area, A = 0.5m²

Incoming radiant energy, G = 10000w/m²

T = 500°C

Rate of energy absorbed is âAG;

âAG = 0.7 × 0.5 × 10000

âAG = 3500W.

The energy absorbed is measured in watts and denoted by the symbol W.
