Water steam enters a turbine at a temperature of 400 o C and a pressure of 3 MPa. Water saturated vapor exhausts from the turbin

e at a pressure of 125 kPa. At steady state, the work output of the turbine is 530 kJ/kg. The surrounding air is at 20 o C. Neglect the changes in kinetic energy and potential energy. Determine (20 points) (a) the heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings per unit mass flow rate, (b) the entropy generation during this process.

Answer:

a) -505.229 kJ/Kg

b) -1.724 kJ/kg

Explanation:

T1 = 400°C

P1 = 3 MPa

P2 = 125 kPa

work output = 530 kJ/kg

surrounding temperature = 20°C = 293 k

<u>A) Calculate heat transfer from Turbine to surroundings </u>

Q = h2 + w - h1

h ( enthalpy )

h1 = 3231.229 kj/kg

enthalpy at P2

h2 = hg = 2676 kj/kg

back to equation 1

Q = 2676 + 50 - 3231.229 = -505.229 kJ/Kg ( i.e. heat is lost )

<u>b) Entropy generation </u>

entropy generation = Δs ( surrounding ) + Δs(system)

= - 505.229 / 293 + 0

= -1.724 kJ/kg

B)<br>State the essential difference between a plain carbon steel<br>and an alloy steel

choli [55]

Answer:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace external elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements.

Explanation:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace amount of other elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements in their composition.

The presence of other elements in alloy steel improvise several physical properties of the steel while plain carbon steel has the basic properties.

Why do we study National studies

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

It’s so we can then understand other cultures and other ways that people do things or we can also be prepared for what a country that we have not been to yet is going to relatively be like. This can also help with vacation planning.

Explanation:

it can also help us understand different people from different cultures.

A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027

Pachacha [2.7K]

Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = $\frac{d}{2}$ = 3 inches

density, $\rho}$ = 493 lbm/ $ft^{3}$

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ $m^{2}$ = 386.22 inch/ $s^{2}$

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2V\rho g}{A \rho C_{d}}}$ (1)

$(Since, m = V\times \rho)$

where,

V = volume of sphere

$C_{d}$ = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Volume of sphere, V = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}$

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

$v_{T}$ = $\frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}}$ inch/sec

How high a building could fire hoses effectively spray from the ground? Fire hose pressures are around 1 MPa. (It is also said t

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$

Explanation:

The phenomenon can be modelled after the Bernoulli's Principle, in which the sum of heads related to pressure and kinetic energy on ground level is equal to the head related to gravity.

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}= z_{2}+\frac{P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g}$

The velocity of water delivered by the fire hose is:

$v_{1} = \frac{(300\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot(\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}}$

$v_{1} = 0.267\,\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum height is cleared in the Bernoulli's equation:

$z_{2}= \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

$z_{2}= \frac{1\times 10^{6}\,Pa-101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa}{(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0.267\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}$

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$
