A heat exchanger takes compressed liquid water and converts it into steam with a temperature and pressure of 20 Mpa and 480 C; r

espectively. Steam is used to generate work �! in a turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 78%. Steam that exits the turbine at 14 Mpa is used in a second identical turbine (same efficiency) after reheating it to 500 C (with the same heating exchanger). Once the steam exits the second turbine it passes through a condenser (working at a pressure of 6 Kpa) before being pumped (with an internal reversible and adiabatic pump) back to the heat exchanger.
A. Work done by the first turbine (KJ/Kg).
B. Work done by the second turbine (KJ/Kg).
C. Quality of steam leaving the second turbine (5pts).
D. Cycle thermal efficiency (5pts).

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Lets first consider the term Isentropic efficiency. The isentropic efficiency of a compressor or pump is defined as the ratio of the work input to an isentropic process, to the work input to the actual process between the same inlet and exit pressures. IN practice, compressors are intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy  which is then converted in to  electrical energy

Explanation:

In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place

a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)

b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)

This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.

Explanation:

A clear details for the question is also attached.

(b) The P,V and T for state 1,2 and 3

P =1 bar Ti = 300 K and Vi from ideal gas Vi=

Due to step 12 is isothermal: T1 = T2= 300 K and

VVi24.9 x 10x-4.9 x 10-3 *

The values at 3 calclated by Uing step 3l Adiabatic process

Since step 23 is Isochoric: Va =Vs= 4.99 m* and 7=

(c) For step 12: Isothermal, Since AT = 0 then AH12 = AU12 = 0 and

Work done for Isotermal process define as

8.314 x 300 In =4014.26

Wi2= RTi ln

mol

And fromn first law of thermodynamic

AU12= W12 +Q12

Q12-W12 = -4014.26

Mol

F'or step 23 Isochoric: AV = 0 Since volume change is zero W23= 0 and

Alls = Cp(L3-12)=5 x 8.311 (569.5 - 300) = 7812.18-

AU23= C (13-72) =5 x 8.314 (569.3 - 300) = 5601.53

Inol

Now from first law of thermodynamic the Q23

AU2s = Q23= 5601.55

Mol

For step 3-1 Adiabatic: Since in this process no heat transfer occur Q31= 0

and

AH

C,(T -Ts)=x 8.314 (300- 569.5)= -7842.18

mol

AU=C, (T¡-T)= x 8.314 (300

mol

Now from first law of thermodynamie the Ws1

How do you use the brakes in an airplane?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

When a pilot pushes the top of the right pedal, it activates the brakes on the right main wheel/wheels, and when the pilot pushes the top of the left rudder pedal, it activates the brake on the left main wheel/wheels. The brakes work in a rather simple way: they convert the kinetic energy of motion into heat energy.

mezya [45]

Answer:

c.  Detail designation

Explanation:

the question "enlarged detail to show more information", That has a detail indicator area circle. It's usually more of a square or rectangle not a circle. Circles are good for detailing landscape.

"They also can indicate when a section of the house is being enlarged."  Sections details use that symbol but have a section indicator line. Also grid and column indicators use that symbol.
