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

A 2-cm-diameter vertical water jet is injected upward by a nozzle at a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the maximum weight of a flat p
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:58.28 N

Explanation:

Given data

dia. of nozzle \left ( d\right )=2 cm

initial velocity\left ( u\right )=15 m/s

height\left ( h\right )=2m

Now velocity of jet at height of 2m

v^2-u^2=2gh

v^2=15^2-2\left ( 9.81\right )\left ( 2\right )

v=\sqrt{185.76}=13.62 m/s

Now\ forces\ on\ plate\ are\ weight\left ( Downward\right ) and jet\ force\left ( upward\right )

equating them

W=\left ( \rho Av\right )v

W=10^{3}\times \frac{\pi}{4}\left ( 0.02\right )^2\times 13.62^2

W=58.28 N

Water exiting the condenser of a power plant at 45 Centers a cooling tower with a mas flow rate of 15,000 kg/s. A stream of cool
MariettaO [177]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

question :Determine the temperature of the cooled water exiting the cooling tower

answer : T  = 43.477° C

Explanation:

Temp of water at exit = 45°C

mass flow rate of cooling tower = 15,000 kg/s

Temp of makeup water = 20°C

Assuming an atmospheric pressure of = 101.3 kPa

<u>Determine temperature of the cooled water exiting the cooling tower</u>

Water entering cooling tower at 45°C

Given that Latent heat of water at 45°C = 43.13 KJ/mol

Cp(wet air) = 1.005+ 1.884(y1)

where: y1 - Inlet mole ratio = (0.01257) / (1 - 0.01257) = 0.01273

Hence : Cp(wet air) = 29.145 +  (0.01273) (33.94) = 29.577 KJ/kmol°C

<u>First step : calculate the value of Q </u>

Q = m*Cp*(ΔT) + W(latent heat)

Q = 321.6968 (29.577) (40-30) +  43.13 (18.26089)

Q =  95935.8547 KJ/s

Given that mass rate of water = 15000 kg/s

<u>Hence the temperature of the cooled water can be calculated using the equation below</u>

Q = m*Cp*∆T

Cp(water) = 4.2 KJ/Kg°C

95935.8547 = (15000)*(4.2)*(45 - T)

( 45 - T ) = 95935.8547/ 63000.    ∴ T  = 43.477° C

How would you design a wheelchair for wheelchair-using basketball players? Would you make it more or less massive?
emmainna [20.7K]
Less, if it’s too big: hard to control and maneuverability for shooting wouldn’t be that good. a smaller wheelchair allows for faster movement and control, along with easier shooting and upper body movement
