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%

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.

pochemuha

The option that is not associated with the given term called urban sprawl is; Option A: Blocking high views

What is Urban Sprawl?

Urban sprawl is defined as the rapid expansion of the geographic boundaries of towns and cities which is often accompanied by low-density residential housing and increased reliance on the private automobilefor movement.

Looking at the given options, "blocking high views" is the option that is not typically a problem associated with urban sprawl because urbanization usually takes place on relatively flat levels.

The missing options are;

a. blocking high views

b. destroying animal habitats

c. overrunning farmland

d. reducing green space
