A heat engine uses fuel of energy content 43.1 MJ/kg and produces 17.4 kW of useful power. The heat rejection rate (through the

exhaust and cooling systems) is 44.8 kW. Determine: (a) The efficiency of the engine (b) The usage rate of fuel in kg/h.

Answer:

a)27.9%

b)\dot{m}=3.06 \frac{Kg}{h}

Explanation:

Given that

Fuel energy content = 73.1 MJ/kg

Useful power = 17.4 KW

Heat rejection rate = 44.8 KW

From first law of thermodynamics

Heat addition rate =Heat rejection rate + Power out put

Now by putting the values in the above formula

Heat addition rate = 44.8 + 17.4

Heat addition rate =62.2 KW

We know that efficiency is given as follows

\eta =\dfrac{power\ out\ put}{Heat\ addition\ rate}

So

\eta =\dfrac{17.4}{62.2}

\eta =0.279

So the efficiency is 27.9%.

Now to find usage rate of fuel

Lets take usage rate is \dot{m}

Fuel energy content  x  usage rate of fuel = Heat addition rate

Now by putting the values

73100\times \dfrac{\dot{m}}{3600}=62.2

\dot{m}=3.06 \frac{Kg}{h}

What are the optical properties of steel
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A selective surface with large absorption for solar radiation and high reflectance for thermal infrared radiation was produced by use of surface oxidation of stainless steel. The surfaces were studied for use with concentrated light in a solar power plant at temperatures of 400°C and higher.

In order to investigate the relation between surface treatment and optical properties, stainless steels (AISI 304 and 430) which were submitted to different chemical and mechanical surface treatments, were used. To increase the spectral selectivity, these surfaces were treated in air and in vacuum at different temperatures and times. The optical properties of these films were investigated. Visual and infrared spectral absorptances were measured at room temperature. The thermal hemispherical emittance and absorptance were obtained by a calorimetric method at 200°C. It was noticed that these chemically and mechanically treated stainless steel surfaces have good spectral properties without further oxidations. This is very important for high temperature uses. The best values are found for samples 7 and 8 under vacuum and air. These two samples with mechanically ground surfaces retained their selectivity and specularity after several hours oxidation. One can conclude that the surface ground treatment confers good selectivity on the steel surfaces for use in concentrating solar collectors with a working temperature of 500°C.

Sample surfaces were subjected to long temperature ageing tests in order to gain some idea of the thermal stability of the surfaces. The results promise better-performing surface and the production of durable selective finishes at, possibly, lower cost than competing processes.
