Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 80

0 K and 295 K, respectively. The heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kJ. At the end of the isothermal expansion the volume is 0.4 m3. Assume the ideal gas model for the air. Determine the thermal efficiency, the volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in m3, and the work during the adiabatic expansion, in kJ.

Answer:

thermal efficiency, η=  0.63125

volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, V1 = 0.34011 m3

work during the adiabatic expansion, in kJ = 766.59 KJ

Explanation:

<u>To determine the thermal efficiency</u>

The thermal efficiency of a heat engine gives an estimation of the amount of heat energy converted to work in the engine.

Thermal efficiency is given by: η= 1-  (Tc/Th)

where, Tc= ambient temperature or the minimum temperature

            Th=  maximum temperature

from the given data:

minimum temperature = 295 K

maximum temperature =  800 K

η= 1-  (295/800)

η=  0.63125

<u>To determine the volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in m3</u>

We know,  ΔU = Q − W.

where,  ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system.

Q= mRT In (V2/V1)

Where, V1 = volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion

             V2 = = volume at the end of the isothermal expansion

Therefore, V1 = V2 / (Q/mRT)

V1= 0.4/ ((60000/ (2 x 287 x 800))

V1 = 0.34011 m3

where, isothermal expansion given is 60 kJ

             isothermal expansion the volume given is 0.4 m3

<u>To determine the work during the adiabatic expansion, in kJ.</u>

Work during the adiabatic process is given by

W = − ΔU

where,  ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system

W at the first and second process = - 2 x 759 ( 295 - 800)

= 766590J = 766.59 KJ

Two dogbone specimens of identical geometry but made of two different materials: steel and aluminum are tested under tension at
makkiz [27]

Answer:

\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}

Explanation:

The Young's module is:

E = \frac{\sigma}{\frac{\Delta L}{L_{o}} }

E = \frac{\sigma\cdot L_{o}}{\dot L \cdot \Delta t}

Let assume that both specimens have the same geometry and load rate. Then:

E_{aluminium} \cdot \dot L_{aluminium} = E_{steel} \cdot \dot L_{steel}

The displacement rate for steel is:

\dot L_{steel} = \frac{E_{aluminium}}{E_{steel}}\cdot \dot L_{aluminium}

\dot L_{steel} = \left(\frac{10000\,ksi}{29000\,ksi}\right)\cdot (0.001\,\frac{in}{min} )

\dot L_{steel} = 3.448\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{in}{min}

In a Rankine cycle, superheated steam that enters the turbine at 1273.15 K and 1.8 MPa is then expanded to a vapor at 0.1 MPa. W
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The shaft work generated per kilogram is -1.3 \frac{MJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature T = 1273.15 K

Initial Pressure P_{1} = 1.8 MPa

Final pressure P_{2} = 0.1 MPa

From the table superheated,

h_{i} = 4635 \frac{K J}{Kg} and  h_{f} = 2706.54 \frac{K J}{Kg}

Work done by shaft is,

 W = h_{f} - h_{i}

 W = 2706.54 - 4635

 W = -1928.46 \frac{kJ}{kg}

But here efficiency is 0.56,

So work generated per kg is,

Work = 0.56 \times(- 1928.46)

Work = -1.3 \frac{MJ}{kg}

Therefore, the shaft work generated per kilogram is -1.3 \frac{MJ}{kg}
