Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boron fiber in unidirectional orientation

Mb = 5kg = 5000g

Mass of aluminum fiber in unidirectional orientation

Ma = 8kg = 8000g

A. Density of the composite

Applying rule of mixing

ρc = 1•ρ1 + 2•ρ2

Where

ρc = density of composite

1 = Volume fraction of Boron

ρ1 = density composite of Boron

2 = Volume fraction of Aluminum

ρ2 = density composite of Aluminum

ρ1 = 2.36 g/cm³ constant

ρ2 = 2.7 g/cm³ constant

To Calculate fractional volume of Boron

1 = Vb / ( Vb + Va)

Vb = Volume of boron

Va = Volume of aluminium

Also

To Calculate fraction volume of aluminum

2= Va / ( Vb + Va)

So, we need to get Va and Vb

From density formula

density = mass / Volume

ρ1 = Mb / Vb

Vb = Mb / ρ1

Vb = 5000 / 2.36

Vb = 2118.64 cm³

Also ρ2 = Ma / Va

Va = Ma / ρ2

Va = 8000 / 2.7

Va = 2962.96 cm³

So,

1 = Vb / ( Vb + Va)

1 = 2118.64 / ( 2118.64 + 2962.96)

1 = 0.417

Also,

2= Va / ( Vb + Va)

2 = 2962.96 / ( 2118.64 + 2962.96)

2 = 0.583

Then, we have all the data needed

ρc = 1•ρ1 + 2•ρ2

ρc = 0.417 × 2.36 + 0.583 × 2.7

ρc = 2.56 g/cm³

The density of the composite is 2.56g/cm³

B. Modulus of elasticity parallel to the fibers

Modulus of elasticity is defined at the ratio of shear stress to shear strain

The relation for modulus of elasticity is given as

Ec = = 1•Eb+ 2•Ea

Ea = Elasticity of aluminium

Eb = Elasticity of Boron

Ec = Modulus of elasticity parallel to the fiber

Where modulus of elastic of aluminum is

Ea = 69 × 10³ MPa

Modulus of elastic of boron is

Eb = 450 × 10³ Mpa

Then,

Ec = = 1•Eb+ 2•Ea

Ec = 0.417 × 450 × 10³ + 0.583 × 69 × 10³

Ec = 227.877 × 10³ MPa

Ec ≈ 228 × 10³ MPa

The Modulus of elasticity parallel to the fiber is 227.877 × 10³MPa

OR Ec = 227.877 GPa

Ec ≈ 228GPa

C. modulus of elasticity perpendicular to the fibers?

The relation of modulus of elasticity perpendicular to the fibers is

1 / Ec = 1 / Eb+ 2 / Ea

1 / Ec = 0.417 / 450 × 10³ + 0.583 / 69 × 10³

1 / Ec = 9.267 × 10^-7 + 8.449 ×10^-6

1 / Ec = 9.376 × 10^-6

Taking reciprocal

Ec = 106.66 × 10^3 Mpa

Ec ≈ 107 × 10^3 MPa

Note that the unit of Modulus has been in MPa,

A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. 46.15%

b. 261.73 kg/s

c. 54.79 kW/K

Explanation:

a. State 1

The parameters given are;

T₁ = 560°C

P₁ = 12 MPa = 120 bar

Therefore;

h₁ = 3507.41 kJ/kg,  s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

State 2

p₂ = 1 MPa = 10 bar

s₂ = s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

h₂ = (6.6864 - 6.6426)÷(6.6955 - 6.6426)×(2828.27 - 2803.52) + 2803.52

= (0.0438 ÷ 0.0529) × 24.75 = 2824.01 kJ/kg

State 3

p₃ = 6 kPa = 0.06 bar

s₃ = s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

sg = 8.3291 kJ/(kg·K)

sf = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

x = s₃/sfg = (6.6864- 0.52087)/(8.3291  - 0.52087) = 0.7896

(h₃ - 151.494)/2415.17 = 0.7896

∴ h₃ = 2058.56 kJ/kg

State 4

Saturated liquid state

p₄ = 0.06 bar= 6000 Pa, h₄ = 151.494 kJ/kg, s₄ = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

State 5

Open feed-water heater

p₅ = p₂ =  1 MPa = 10 bar = 1000000 Pa

s₄ = s₅ = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

h₅ = h₄ + work done by the pump on the saturated liquid

∴ h₅ = h₄ + v₄ × (p₅ - p₄)

h₅ = 151.494 + 0.00100645 × (1000000 - 6000)/1000 = 152.4944113 kJ/kg

Step 6

Saturated liquid state

p₆ = 1 MPa = 10 bar

h₆ = 762.683 kJ/kg

s₆ = 2.1384 kJ/(kg·K)

v₆ = 0.00112723 m³/kg

Step 7

p₇ = p₁ = 12 MPa = 120 bar

s₇ = s₆ = 2.1384 kJ/(kg·K)

h₇ = h₆ + v₆ × (p₇ - p₆)

h₇ = 762.683  + 0.00112723 * (12 - 1) * 1000 = 775.08253 kJ/kg

The fraction of flow extracted at the second stage, y, is given as follows

y = \dfrac{762.683 - 152.4944113 }{2824.01 - 152.4944113 } = 0.2284

The turbine control volume is given as follows;

\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{1} - h_{2}  \right ) + \left (1 - y  \right )\left (h_{2} - h_{3}  \right )

= (3507.41  - 2824.01) + (1 - 0.22840)*(2824.01 - 2058.56) = 1274.02122 kJ/kg

For the pumps, we have;

\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{7} - h_{6}  \right ) + \left (1 - y  \right )\left (h_{5} - h_{4}  \right )

= (775.08253 - 762.683) + (1 - 0.22840)*(152.4944113 -  151.494)

= 13.17 kJ/kg

For the working fluid that flows through the steam generator, we have;

\dfrac{\dot{Q_{in}}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{1} - h_{7}  \right )

= 3507.41 - 775.08253 = 2732.32747 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency, η, is given as follows;

\eta = \dfrac{\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} -\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}{\dfrac{\dot{Q_{in}}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}

η = (1274.02122 - 13.17)/2732.32747 = 0.4615 which is 46.15%

(762.683 - 152.4944113)/(2824.01 - 152.4944113)

b. The mass flow rate, \dot{m_{1}}, into the first turbine stage is given as follows;

\dot{m_{1}} = \dfrac{\dot{W_{cycle}}}{\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} -\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}

\dot{m_{1}} = 330 *1000/(1274.02122 - 13.17) = 261.73 kg/s

c. From the entropy rate balance of the steady state form, we have;

\dot{\sigma }_{cv} = \sum_{e}^{}\dot{m}_{e}s_{e} - \sum_{i}^{}\dot{m}_{i}s_{i} = \dot{m}_{6}s_{6} - \dot{m}_{2}s_{2} - \dot{m}_{5}s_{5}

\dot{\sigma }_{cv} = \dot{m}_{6} \left [s_{6} - ys_{2} - (1 - y)s_{5}  \right ]

= 261.73 * (2.1384 - 0.2284*6.6864 - (1 - 0.2284)*0.52087 = 54.79 kW/K

The diesel fuel cooler is being discussed. Technician A says that high-pressure fuel systems generate a lot of heat. Technician
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Both the technicians are correct.

Explanation:

As the pressure increases the temperature will also increase in accordance with the Boyle's law hence greater amount of heat is formed.

Pressure\propto Temperature

When the temperature increases the intermolecular spaces increase as the molecules of the fuel gain energy and their kinetic energy increases. This is limited to temperatures below dissociation/combustion temperature of diesel .
