Answer:
b. equal to the specific entropy of the gas at the inlet.
Explanation:
Isentropic process is the process in which the entropy of the system remains unchanged. The word isentropic is formed from the combination of the prefix "iso" which means "equal" and the word entropy.
If a process is completely reversible, without the need to provide energy in the form of heat, then the process is isentropic.
The mechanical energy of an object is a combination of its potential energy and its <em><u>kinetic</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>energy</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
Answer:
a) zero b) zero
Explanation:
Newton's first law tells us that a body remains at rest or in uniform rectilinear motion, if a net force is not applied on it, that is, if there are no applied forces or If the sum of forces acting is zero. In this case there is a body that moves with uniform rectilinear motion which implies that there is no net force.
Answer:
401.3 kg/s
Explanation:
The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).
qw = 0.85 * q2
q2 = 0.64 * q1
p = 0.36 * q1
q1 = p /0.36
q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p
qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p
qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW
In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)
The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:
SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg
So, to dissipate 907 MW
G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s
