An airplane flies horizontally at 80 m/s. Its propeller delivers 1300 N of thrust (forward force) to overcome aerodynamic drag (

backward force). Using dimensional reasoning and unity conversion ratios, calculate the useful power delivered by the propeller in units of kW and horsepower.

Answer:

Power in kW is 104 kW

Power in horsepower is 139.41 hp

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the airplane, v_{a} = 80 m/s

Force exerted by the propeller, F_{p} = 1300 N

Now,

The useful power that the propeller delivered, P_{p}:

P_{p} = \frac{Energy}{time, t}

Here, work done provides the useful energy

Also, Work done is the product of the displacement, 'x' of an object when acted upon by some external force.

Thus

P_{p} = \frac{F_{p}\times x}{time, t}

P_{p} = \frac{F_{p}\times x}{time, t}

P_{p} = F_{p}\times v_{a}

Now, putting given values in it:

P_{p} = 1300\times 80 = 104000 W = 104 kW

In horsepower:

1 hp = 746 W

Thus

P_{p} = \frac{104000}{746} = 139.41 hp

One kilogram of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K, and 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2), initially at 2 bar, 450 K, are confined to opp
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Energy alance of 2 closed systems: Heat from CO2 equals the heat that is added to air in

m_{a} c_{v,a}(T_{eq} -T_{a,i)} =m_{co2} c_{v,co2} (T_{co2,i} -T_{eq)}

1x0.723x(T_{eq} -350)=3x0.780x(450-T_{eq} ) ⇒T_{eq} = 426.4 °K

The initail volumes of the gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation of state,

V_{a,i}  = \frac{mRT_{a,i} }{P_{a,i} }=  \frac{1x (8.314 28.97 kJ kg • °K)x 350°K}{5 bar x 100KPa bar} = 0.201m^{3}

The equilibrium pressure of the gases can also be obtained by the ideal gas equation

P_{eq=\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,eq}+V_{CO2,eq)} } =\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,i}+V_{CO2,i)} }

P_{eq}= 1x(8.314 28.97)x426.4+3x(8.314 44)x426.4

                             (0.201+1.275)

= 246.67 KPa = 2.47 bar

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.
