Compute the thermal efficiency for an ideal gas turbine cycle that operates with a pressure ratio of 6.75 and uses helium gas.

Solution:

Given:

pressure ratio, r_{p} = 6.75

Formula used:

\eta = \frac{(r_{p})^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}-1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}}\\

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma }}}         (1)

where,

r_{p} = pressure ratio

γ = specific heat ratio of a gas( here, helium gas it is 1.667)

Now,

Eqn (1 ) is for thermal efficiency of an ideal gas, using eqn (1), we get

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{6.75^{\frac{\ 1.667-1}{\ 1.667 }}}

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{2.1469} = 0.5342

percentage thermal efficiency, \eta =53.42%

A hemispherical shell with an external diameter of 500 mm and a thickness of 20 mm is going to be made by casting, located entir
Olenka [21]

Solution :

Given :

External diameter of the hemispherical shell, D = 500 mm

Thickness, t = 20 mm

Internal diameter, d = D - 2t

                                 = 500 - 2(20)

                                 = 460 mm

So, internal radius, r = 230 mm

                                 = 0.23 m

Density of molten metal, ρ = $7.2 \ g/cm^3$

                                                  = $7200 \ kg/m^3$

The height of pouring cavity above parting surface is h = 300 mm

                                                                                                  = 0.3 m

So, the metallostatic thrust on the upper mold at the end of casting is :

$F=\rho g A h$

Area, A $=2 \pi r^2$

            $=2 \pi (0.23)^2$

            $=0.3324 \ m^2$

$F=\rho g A h$

   $=7200 \times 9.81 \times 0.3324 \times 0.3$

     = 7043.42 N
