Which type of material is known as elastomers to materials scientists and engineers

Engineering
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Rubber-like solids with elastic properties are called elastomers. Polymer chains are held together in these materials by relatively weak intermolecular bonds, which permit the polymers to stretch in response to macroscopic stresses. Natural rubber, neoprene rubber, buna-s and buna-n are all examples of such elastomers.

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The cycle operates on the simple Rankine cycl
bogdanovich [222]

A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined

Assumptions :

1.  Steady operating conditions exist.

2.  Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

Properties:  The specific heat of geothermal water ( c_{geo}[) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.  

Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

a. Turbine

PP_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The  isentropic  efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4}  }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }

==\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788

b. Pump

h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} =  \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1})   }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\          = 273.01+5.81\\           = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.}  (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\

W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.}  w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.}  _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.}  _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\

c. The thermal efficiency of the cycle  n_{th}  =\frac{W^{.} _{net} }{Q^{._{in} } } \\\\= \frac{20,166}{162,656} \\=0.124\\=12.4%

svp [43]

Answer:

A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a tensile stress on the object.

Explanation:

Tensile stress is referred as a deforming force, in which force acts perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart, attempting to elongate it.

The tensile stress is a type of normal stress, in which a perpendicular force creates the stress to an object’s surface.

Hence, the correct option is "A."

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

b. equal to the specific entropy of the gas at the inlet.

Explanation:

Isentropic process is the process in which the entropy of the system remains unchanged. The word isentropic is formed from the combination of the prefix "iso" which means "equal" and the word entropy.

If a process is completely reversible, without the need to provide energy in the form of heat, then the process is isentropic.
