Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent.

A heat loss of 20 kJ/kg occurs during the process. The inlet area of the turbine is 150 cm2, and the exit area is 1400 cm2. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the steam, (b) the exit velocity, and (c) the power output.

Answer:

a) \dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}, b) v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}, c) \dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Mass Balance

\frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}} - \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}} = 0

Energy Balance

-q_{loss} - w_{out} + h_{in} - h_{out} = 0

Specific volumes and enthalpies are obtained from property tables for steam:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

\nu_{in} = 0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

h_{in} = 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mix)

\nu_{out} = 5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}

h_{out} = 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

a) The mass flow rate of the steam is:

\dot m = \frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}}

\dot m = \frac{\left(60\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (0.015\,m^{2})}{0.055665\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }

\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}

b) The exit velocity of steam is:

\dot m = \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}}

v_{out} = \frac{\dot m \cdot \nu_{out}}{A_{out}}

v_{out} = \frac{\left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(5.89328\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} \right)}{0.14\,m^{2}}

v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}

c) The power output of the steam turbine is:

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (-q_{loss} + h_{in}-h_{out})

\dot W_{out} = \left(16.168\,\frac{kg}{s} \right)\cdot \left(-20\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 3650.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2500.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right)

\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW

A 03-series cylindrical roller bearing with inner ring rotating is required for an application in which the life requirement is
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

\mathbf{C_{10} = 137.611 \ kN}

Explanation:

From the information given:

Life requirement = 40 kh = 40 40 \times 10^{3} \ h

Speed (N) = 520 rev/min

Reliability goal (R_D) = 0.9

Radial load (F_D) = 2600 lbf

To find C10 value by using the formula:

C_{10}=F_D\times \pmatrix \dfrac{x_D}{x_o +(\theta-x_o) \bigg(In(\dfrac{1}{R_o}) \bigg)^{\dfrac{1}{b}}} \end {pmatrix} ^{^{^{\dfrac{1}{a}}

where;

x_D = \text{bearing life in million revolution} \\  \\ x_D = \dfrac{60 \times L_h \times N}{10^6} \\ \\ x_D = \dfrac{60 \times 40 \times 10^3 \times 520}{10^6}\\ \\ x_D = 1248 \text{ million revolutions}

\text{The cyclindrical roller bearing (a)}= \dfrac{10}{3}

The Weibull parameters include:

x_o = 0.02

(\theta - x_o) = 4.439

b= 1.483

∴

Using the above formula:

C_{10}=1.4\times 2600 \times \pmatrix \dfrac{1248}{0.02+(4.439) \bigg(In(\dfrac{1}{0.9}) \bigg)^{\dfrac{1}{1.483}}} \end {pmatrix} ^{^{^{\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{10}{3}}}

C_{10}=3640 \times \pmatrix \dfrac{1248}{0.02+(4.439) \bigg(In(\dfrac{1}{0.9}) \bigg)^{\dfrac{1}{1.483}}} \end {pmatrix} ^{^{^{\dfrac{3}{10}}

C_{10} = 3640 \times \bigg[\dfrac{1248}{0.9933481582}\bigg]^{\dfrac{3}{10}}

C_{10} = 30962.449 \ lbf

Recall that:

1 kN = 225 lbf

∴

C_{10} = \dfrac{30962.449}{225}

\mathbf{C_{10} = 137.611 \ kN}

John wants to construct a device using quartz crystal, Which device can he construct?
tatiyna

Answer: Option D, piezoelectric pressure guage

Explanation: Quartz crystal possess a very useful quality in science as they can generate small charges when pressure is applied to them or when they are hit. This property can be harnessed to construct a piezoelectric pressure gauge which would be used to measure and indicate changes in pressure, the quartz crystal releases little voltage each time there is an applied pressure . This device would be able to sense changes in pressure as there would voltage proportional to the applied pressure.

What gadgets are charge coupled devices used in?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

They are used in imaging application gadgets such as video cameras,TV, surveillance cameras and document scanners

Explanation:

A charge couple device (CCDs) are highly capable in imagery detector.Its common application is in video and digital imaging.The quality of a charge couple device is determined by factors such as the dynamic range, dark charge level and the quantum efficiency.These devices serve the purpose of detecting optical images though some are installed with applications for data storage.
