Answer:

Removal of dust and fluff from spinning mill is important as it has adverse and detrimental effects on the health of the workers in these industries. Tiny and microscopic particles of various substances present in the surrounding air is transferred from one place to another and these causes various respiratory diseases and pose health hazards for the workers and make work environment unhealthy and hazardous thus affecting the over all efficiency and productivity.

Cotton dust , the major pollutant, when breathed in affetcs the lungs badly and workers experience symptoms such as respiratory problems, coughing, tightness in chest, etc. Thus to ensure proper health of the workers spinning mills have been provided with powerful air conditioning to ensure purity of air, to maintain proper moisture levels and to ensure dust and fluff removal.

The dust and fluff laiden air is humidified, purified and then recirculated. Optimization of number of air changes/hour to clean air stream and prevent any health risk of the workers.

Answer:

15.64 MW

Explanation:

The computation of value of X that gives maximum profit is shown below:-

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= 15x - 0.2x 2 - 12 - 0.3x - 0.27x 2

= 14.7x - .47x^2 - 12

After solving the above equation we will get maximum differentiate for profit that is

14.7 - 0.94x = 0

So,

x = 15.64 MW

Therefore for computing the value of X that gives maximum profit we simply solve the above equation.

The 30-kg gear is subjected to a force of P=(20t)N where t is in seconds. Determine the angular velocity of the gear at t=4s sta

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

$H_o =r x mv=rxL$

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

$\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1$

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is $I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2$ ".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

$v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)$

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

$H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af$

$0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)$

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

$1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega$

And if we solve for $\omega$ we got:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

A _____ satellite system employs many satellites that are spaced so that, from any point on the Earth at any time, at least one

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

d. low earth orbit (LEO)

Explanation:

This type of satellites form a constellation deployed as a series of “necklaces” in such a way that at any time, at least one satellite is visible by a receiver antenna, compensating the movement due to the earth rotation.

Opposite to that, a geostationary satellite is at an altitude that makes it like a fixed point over the Earth´s equator, rotating synchronously with the Earth, so it is always visible in a given area.

A Rankine steam power plant is considered. Saturated water vapor enters a turbine at 8 MPa and exits at condenser at 10 kPa. The

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.31

126.23 kg/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- Fluid: Water

- Turbine: P3 = 8MPa , P4 = 10 KPa , nt = 85%

- Pump: Isentropic

- Net cycle-work output, Wnet = 100 MW

Find:-

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle

- The mass flow rate of steam

Solution:-

- The best way to deal with questions related to power cycles is to determine the process and write down the requisite properties of the fluid at each state.

First process: Isentropic compression by pump

P1 = P4 = 10 KPa ( condenser and pump inlet is usually equal )

h1 = h-P1 = 191.81 KJ/kg ( saturated liquid assumption )

s1 = s-P1 = 0.6492 KJ/kg.K

v1 = v-P1 = 0.001010 m^3 / kg

P2 = P3 = 8 MPa( Boiler pressure - Turbine inlet )

s2 = s1 = 0.6492 KJ/kg.K .... ( compressed liquid )

- To determine the ( h2 ) at state point 2 : Pump exit. We need to determine the wok-done by pump on the water ( Wp ). So from work-done principle we have:

$w_p = v_1*( P_2 - P_1 )\\\\w_p = 0.001010*( 8000 - 10 )\\\\w_p = 8.0699 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- From the following relation we can determine ( h2 ) as follows:

h2 = h1 + wp

h2 = 191.81 + 8.0699

h2 = 199.88 KJ/kg

Second Process: Boiler supplies heat to the fluid and vaporize

- We have already evaluated the inlet fluid properties to the boiler ( pump exit property ).

- To determine the exit property of the fluid when the fluid is vaporized to steam in boiler ( super-heated phase ).

P3 = 8 MPa

T3 = ? ( assume fluid exist in the saturated vapor phase )

h3 = hg-P3 = 2758.7 KJ/kg

s3 = sg-P3 = 5.7450 KJ/kg.K

- The amount of heat supplied by the boiler per kg of fluid to the water stream. ( qs ) is determined using the state points 2 and 3 as follows:

$q_s = h_3 - h_2\\\\q_s = 2758.7 -199.88\\\\q_s = 2558.82 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

Third Process: The expansion ( actual case ). Turbine isentropic efficiency ( nt ).

- The saturated vapor steam is expanded by the turbine to the condenser pressure. The turbine inlet pressure conditions are similar to the boiler conditions.

- Under the isentropic conditions the steam exits the turbine at the following conditions:

P4 = 10 KPa

s4 = s3 = 5.7450 KJ/kg.K ... ( liquid - vapor mixture phase )

- Compute the quality of the mixture at condenser inlet by the following relation:

$x = \frac{s_4 - s_f}{s_f_g} \\\\x = \frac{5.745- 0.6492}{7.4996} \\\\x = 0.67947$

- Determine the isentropic ( h4s ) at this state as follows:

$h_4_s = h_f + x*h_f_g\\\\h_4_s = 191.81 + 0.67947*2392.1\\\\h_4_s = 1817.170187 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- Since, we know that the turbine is not 100% isentropic. We will use the working efficiency and determine the actual ( h4 ) at the condenser inlet state:

$h4 = h_3 - n_t*(h_3 - h_4_s ) \\\\h4 = 2758.7 - 0.85*(2758.7 - 181.170187 ) \\\\h4 = 1958.39965 \frac{KJ}{kg} \\$

- We can now compute the work-produced ( wt ) due to the expansion of steam in turbine.

$w_t = h_3 - h_4\\\\w_t = 2758.7-1958.39965\\\\w_t = 800.30034 \frac{KJ}{kg}$

- The net power out-put from the plant is derived from the net work produced by the compression and expansion process in pump and turbine, respectively.

$W_n_e_t = flow(m) * ( w_t - w_p )\\\\flow ( m ) = \frac{W_n_e_t}{w_t - w_p} \\\\flow ( m ) = \frac{100000}{800.30034-8.0699} \\\\flow ( m ) = 126.23 \frac{kg}{s}$

Answer: The mass flow rate of the steam would be 126.23 kg/s

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle ( nth ) is defined as the ratio of net work produced by the cycle ( Wnet ) and the heat supplied by the boiler to the water ( Qs ):

$n_t_h = \frac{W_n_e_t}{flow(m)*q_s} \\\\n_t_h = \frac{100000}{126.23*2558.82} \\\\n_t_h = 0.31$

Answer: The thermal efficiency of the cycle is 0.31
