A Carnot heat engine absorbs 235 KW of heat from a heat source and rejects 164 KW to the atmosphere. Determine the thermal effic

1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

43.2%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by a carnot heat engine, Q_1=235\ kW

Heat rejected to the atmosphere, Q_2=164\ kW

We need ti find the thermal efficiency of the heat engine. It is equal to the ratio of output work to the energy supplied. Its mathematical form is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_1}{Q_2}\\\\\eta=1-\dfrac{235}{164}\\\\\eta=-0.432

or

\eta=-43.2\%

The egative value of efficiency shows work is done by the engine.

Steam at 20 bars is in the saturated vapor state (call this state 1) and contained in a pistoncylinderdevice with a volume of 0.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

<u>At state 1:</u>

Pressure P₁ = 20 bar

Volume V₁ = 0.03 \mathbf{m^{3}}

From the tables at saturated vapour;

Temperature T₁ = 212.4⁰ C  ; v_1 = vg_1 = 0.0996 \mathbf{m^{3}} / kg

The mass inside the cylinder is m = 0.3 kg, which is constant.

The specific internal energy u₁ = ug₁ = 2599.2 kJ/kg

<u>At state 2:</u>

Temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

Since the 1 - 2 occurs in an isochoric process v₂ = v₁ = 0.099 \mathbf{m^{3}} / kg

From temperature T₂ = 200⁰ C

v_f_2 = 0.0016 \ m^3/kg  

vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg  

Since  vf_2 < v_2 , the saturated pressure at state 2 i.e. P₂ = 15.5 bar

Mixture quality x_2 = \dfrac{v_2-vf_2}{vg_2 -vf_2}

x_2 = \dfrac{(0.099-0.0016)m^3/kg}{(0.127 -0.0016) m^3/kg}

x_2 = \dfrac{(0.0974)m^3/kg}{(0.1254) m^3/kg}

\mathsf{x_2 =0.78}

At temperature T₂, the specific internal energy u_f_2 = 850.6 \ kJ/kg , also ug_2 = 2594.3 \ kJ/kg

Thus,

u_2 = uf_2 + x_2 (ug_2 -uf_2)

u_2 =850.6  +0.78 (2594.3 -850.6)

u_2 =850.6  +1360.086

u_2 =2210.686 \ kJ/kg

<u>At state 3:</u>

Temperature T_3=T_2 = 200 ^0 C ,

V_3 = 2V_1 = 0.06 \ m^3

Specific volume v_3 = 0.2  \ m^3/kg

Thus; vg_3 =vg_2 = 0.127 \ m^3/kg ,

SInce v_3 > vg_3, therefore, the phase is in a superheated vapour state.

From the tables of superheated vapour tables; at v_3 = 0.2  \ m^3/kg and T₃ = 200⁰ C

The pressure = 10 bar and v =0.206 \ m^3/kg

The specific internal energy u_3 at the pressure of 10 bar = 2622.3 kJ/kg

The changes in the specific internal energy is:

u_2-u_1

= (2210.686 - 2599.2) kJ/kg

= -388.514 kJ/kg

≅ - 389 kJ/kg

u_3-u_2

= (2622.3 - 2210.686)  kJ/kg

= 411.614 kJ/kg

≅ 410 kJ/kg  

We can see the correct sketches of the T-v plot showing the diagrammatic expression in the image attached below.

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 2 kg of R-134a at 3.5 bar and 100 C. The cylinder is now cooled so that th
inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the variables thus

R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane

Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C

Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa

For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m

ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂

For constant pressure process we have

Work done = W = \int\limits^a_b P \, dV  = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

From the tables we have

State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg

State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg

Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ

Calculate the reluctance of a 4-meter long toroidal coil made of low-carbon steel with an inner radius of 1.75 cm and an outer r
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

R = 31.9 x 10^(6) At/Wb

So option A is correct

Explanation:

Reluctance is obtained by dividing the length of the magnetic path L by the permeability times the cross-sectional area A

Thus; R = L/μA,

Now from the question,

L = 4m

r_1 = 1.75cm = 0.0175m

r_2 = 2.2cm = 0.022m

So Area will be A_2 - A_1

Thus = π(r_2)² - π(r_1)²

A = π(0.0225)² - π(0.0175)²

A = π[0.0002]

A = 6.28 x 10^(-4) m²

We are given that;

L = 4m

μ_steel = 2 x 10^(-4) Wb/At - m

Thus, reluctance is calculated as;

R = 4/(2 x 10^(-4) x 6.28x 10^(-4))

R = 0.319 x 10^(8) At/Wb

R = 31.9 x 10^(6) At/Wb

Sandwich materials typically use a high density core with non-structural cover plates. a)True b)- False
Lorico [155]

Answer: False

Explanation: Sandwich materials are usually in composite material form which has a fabrication of two thin layers which are stiff in nature and have  light weighing and thick core .The construction is based on the ratio that is of stiffness to the weight .Therefore, the density of the material in the core is not high and are only connected with the skin layer through adhesive .So the given statement is false that sandwich materials typically use a high density core with non- structural cover plates.
