What effect will increasing numbers of high-profile green building projects likely have on thinking about building?

An isentropic steam turbine processes 5.5 kg/s of steam at 3 MPa, which is exhausted at 50 kPa and 100°C. Five percent of this f

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The answer is 1823.9

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

m = 5.5 kg/s

= m₁ = m₂ = m₃

The work carried out by the energy balance is given as follows:

m₁h₁ = m₂h₂ +m₃h₃ + w

Now,

By applying the steam table we have that<

p₃ = 50 kPa

T₃ = 100°C

Which is

h₃ = 2682.4 kJ/KJ

s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

Since it is an isentropic process:

Then,

p₂ = 500 kPa

s₂=s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

which is

h₂ =3207.21 kJ/KgK

p₁ = 3HP0

s₁ = s₂=s₃ = 7.6953 kJ/kgK

h₁ =3854.85 kJ/kg

Thus,

Since 5 % of this flow diverted to p₂ = 500 kPa

Then

w =m (h₁-0.05 h₂ -0.95 )h₃

5.5(3854.85 - 0.05 * 3207.21 - 0.95 * 2682.4)

5.5( 3854.83 * 3207.21 - 0.95 * 2682.4)

5.5 ( 123363249.32 -0.95 * 2682.4)

w=1823.9

A flywheel performs each of these functions except: A. Contains a gear used for engine starting B. Smoothes engine operation C.

torisob [31]

Answer:

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Explanation:

Flywheel :

Flywheel is a device which stored the mechanical energy.This energy can be use when more energy required during any operation.Due to high moment of inertia of the flywheel it resist the change in the speed .The flywheel is attached to the crank shaft at the rear side of the engine.

The flywheel perform following function:

1. It connects the crankshaft and the transmission system.

2.It makes the engine operation smooth.

3.It contains gear and other parts of the engine.

But it can not provide lubrication.

Consider a fan located in a 3 ft by 3 ft square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are measured, and the average f

natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out = $\frac{dE \ system}{dt}$ ......................1

and at steady state $\frac{dE \ system}{dt}$ = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m $\frac{V^2}{2}$ = $\rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}$

put here value

E in = $\rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}$

E in = $0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}$

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

A tank with some water in it begins to drain. The function v ( t ) = 46 − 3.5 t determines the volume of the water in the tank (

olchik [2.2K]

Answer with Explanation:

Part a)

The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.

The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.

Part b)

The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.

Part c)

To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.

$0=46-3.5t\\\\3.5=46\\\\\therefore t=\frac{46}{3.5}=13.143minutes$

Part d)

The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.

Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.
