Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) whose cooler material (more dense) sinks at the bottom and warm material (less dense) rises at the top is known as convection process.

This intermixing of materials leads to the development of convectional currents.

Therefore, we can conclude that convection currents in air and water occur because warm fluids are less dense than cold fluids.

Brums [2.3K]

f = ma

Rearranging it, we get;

a =  \frac{f}{m}
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

a =  \frac{325}{250}
a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.
Hoochie [10]
<span>The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500◦C, and 80 m/s, and the exit
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) ΔEC=-23.4kW

b)W=12106.2kW

c)A=0.01297m^2

Explanation:

A)

The kinetic energy is defined as:

\frac{m*vel^2}{2} (vel is the velocity, to differentiate with v, specific volume).

The kinetic energy change will be: Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}-\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}

Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{m}{2}*(vel_2^2-vel_1^2)

Where 1 and 2 subscripts mean initial and final state respectively.

Δ(\frac{mvel^2}{2})=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}}{2}*(50^2-80^2)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=-23400W=-23.4kW

This amount is negative because the steam is losing that energy.

B)

Consider the energy balance, with a neglective height difference: The energy that enters to the turbine (which is in the steam) is the same that goes out (which is in the steam and in the work done).

H_1+\frac{m*vel_1^2}{2}=H_2+\frac{m*vel_2^2}{2}+W\\W=m*(h_1-h_2)+\frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)

We already know the last quantity: \frac{m}{2} *(vel_1^2-vel_2^2)=-Δ (\frac{mvel^2}{2})=23400W

For the steam enthalpies, review the steam tables (I attach the ones that I used); according to that, h_1=h(T=500C,P=4MPa)=3445.3\frac{kJ}{kg}

The exit state is a liquid-vapor mixture, so its enthalpy is:

h_2=h_f+xh_{fg}=289.23+0.92*2366.1=2483.4\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the work can be obtained:

W=12\frac{kg}{s}*(3445.3-2438.4)\frac{kJ}{kg} +23.400kW)=12106.2kW

C) For the area, consider the equation of mass flow:

m=p*vel*A where p is the density, and A the area. The density is the inverse of the specific volume, so m=\frac{vel*A}{v}

The specific volume of the inlet steam can be read also from the steam tables, and its value is: 0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}, so:

A=\frac{m*v}{vel}=\frac{12\frac{kg}{s}*0.08643\frac{m^3}{kg}}{80\frac{m}{s}}=0.01297m^2
