A heat engine that receives heat from a furnace at 1200°C and rejects waste heat to a river at 20°C has a thermal efficiency of

viktelen [127]

Answer:

second-law efficiency = 62.42 %

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 = 1200°C = 1473 K

temperature T2 = 20°C = 293 K

thermal efficiency η = 50 percent

solution

as we know that thermal efficiency of reversible heat engine between same temp reservoir

so here

efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 1 - $\frac{T2}{T1}$ ............1

efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 1 - $\frac{293}{1473}$

so efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 0.801

so here second-law efficiency of this power plant is

second-law efficiency = $\frac{thernal\ efficiency}{0.801}$

second-law efficiency = $\frac{50}{0.801}$

second-law efficiency = 62.42 %

A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

$Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}$

$Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW$

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

You have a motor such that if you give it 12 Volt, it will eventually reach a steady state speed of 200 rad/s. If it starts from

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) $\frac{Ws}{Es} = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}$

b) attached below

c) type zero system

d) k > $\frac{g}{200}$

e) The gain K increases above % error as the steady state speed increases

Explanation:

Given data:

Motor voltage = 12 v

steady state speed = 200 rad/s

time taken to reach 63.2% = 1.2 seconds

<u>a) The transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed</u>

let ; $\frac{K1}{1+St}$ be the transfer function of a motor

when i/p = 12v then steady state speed ( k1 ) = 200 rad/s , St ( time constant ) = 1.2 sec

hence the transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed

= $\frac{Ws}{Es} = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}$

<u>b) draw the block diagram of the system with plant controller and the feedback path </u>

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

c) The system is a type-zero system because the pole at the origin is zero

d) ) k > $\frac{g}{200}$
