Answer:

Many would pair the engineering and science behind it together. The sensor requires have a detective system for when cars pass by. It can also cycle the lights (change from red, green, and yellow). Traffic can flow uninterrupted on the main road. So, science is an important part.

When a vehicle on a side road arrives at the intersection, a sensor will detect it and cycle the lights to allow traffic on the side road to pass through. In this way, traffic can flow uninterrupted on the main road unless and until traffic on a side road appears.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. 46.15%

b. 261.73 kg/s

c. 54.79 kW/K

Explanation:

a. State 1

The parameters given are;

T₁ = 560°C

P₁ = 12 MPa = 120 bar

Therefore;

h₁ = 3507.41 kJ/kg, s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

State 2

p₂ = 1 MPa = 10 bar

s₂ = s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

h₂ = (6.6864 - 6.6426)÷(6.6955 - 6.6426)×(2828.27 - 2803.52) + 2803.52

= (0.0438 ÷ 0.0529) × 24.75 = 2824.01 kJ/kg

State 3

p₃ = 6 kPa = 0.06 bar

s₃ = s₁ = 6.6864 kJ/(kg·K)

sg = 8.3291 kJ/(kg·K)

sf = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

x = s₃/sfg = (6.6864- 0.52087)/(8.3291 - 0.52087) = 0.7896

(h₃ - 151.494)/2415.17 = 0.7896

∴ h₃ = 2058.56 kJ/kg

State 4

Saturated liquid state

p₄ = 0.06 bar= 6000 Pa, h₄ = 151.494 kJ/kg, s₄ = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

State 5

Open feed-water heater

p₅ = p₂ = 1 MPa = 10 bar = 1000000 Pa

s₄ = s₅ = 0.52087 kJ/(kg·K)

h₅ = h₄ + work done by the pump on the saturated liquid

∴ h₅ = h₄ + v₄ × (p₅ - p₄)

h₅ = 151.494 + 0.00100645 × (1000000 - 6000)/1000 = 152.4944113 kJ/kg

Step 6

Saturated liquid state

p₆ = 1 MPa = 10 bar

h₆ = 762.683 kJ/kg

s₆ = 2.1384 kJ/(kg·K)

v₆ = 0.00112723 m³/kg

Step 7

p₇ = p₁ = 12 MPa = 120 bar

s₇ = s₆ = 2.1384 kJ/(kg·K)

h₇ = h₆ + v₆ × (p₇ - p₆)

h₇ = 762.683 + 0.00112723 * (12 - 1) * 1000 = 775.08253 kJ/kg

The fraction of flow extracted at the second stage, y, is given as follows

$y = \dfrac{762.683 - 152.4944113 }{2824.01 - 152.4944113 } = 0.2284$

The turbine control volume is given as follows;

$\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{1} - h_{2} \right ) + \left (1 - y \right )\left (h_{2} - h_{3} \right )$

= (3507.41 - 2824.01) + (1 - 0.22840)*(2824.01 - 2058.56) = 1274.02122 kJ/kg

For the pumps, we have;

$\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{7} - h_{6} \right ) + \left (1 - y \right )\left (h_{5} - h_{4} \right )$

= (775.08253 - 762.683) + (1 - 0.22840)*(152.4944113 - 151.494)

= 13.17 kJ/kg

For the working fluid that flows through the steam generator, we have;

$\dfrac{\dot{Q_{in}}}{\dot{m_{1}}} = \left (h_{1} - h_{7} \right )$

= 3507.41 - 775.08253 = 2732.32747 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency, η, is given as follows;

$\eta = \dfrac{\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} -\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}{\dfrac{\dot{Q_{in}}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}$

η = (1274.02122 - 13.17)/2732.32747 = 0.4615 which is 46.15%

(762.683 - 152.4944113)/(2824.01 - 152.4944113)

b. The mass flow rate, $\dot{m_{1}}$ , into the first turbine stage is given as follows;

$\dot{m_{1}} = \dfrac{\dot{W_{cycle}}}{\dfrac{\dot{W_t}}{\dot{m_{1}}} -\dfrac{\dot{W_p}}{\dot{m_{1}}}}$

$\dot{m_{1}}$ = 330 *1000/(1274.02122 - 13.17) = 261.73 kg/s

c. From the entropy rate balance of the steady state form, we have;

$\dot{\sigma }_{cv} = \sum_{e}^{}\dot{m}_{e}s_{e} - \sum_{i}^{}\dot{m}_{i}s_{i} = \dot{m}_{6}s_{6} - \dot{m}_{2}s_{2} - \dot{m}_{5}s_{5}$

$\dot{\sigma }_{cv} = \dot{m}_{6} \left [s_{6} - ys_{2} - (1 - y)s_{5} \right ]$

= 261.73 * (2.1384 - 0.2284*6.6864 - (1 - 0.2284)*0.52087 = 54.79 kW/K

Consider a cylinder of height h, diameter d, and wall thickness t pressurized to an internal pressure P_0 (gauge pressure, relat

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

Note: For equations refer the attached document!

The net upward pressure force per unit height p*D must be balanced by the downward tensile force per unit height 2T, a force that can also be expressed as a stress, σhoop, times area 2t. Equating and solving for σh gives:

Eq 1

Similarly, the axial stress σaxial can be calculated by dividing the total force on the end of the can, pA=pπ(D/2)2 by the cross sectional area of the wall, πDt, giving:

Eq 2

For a flat sheet in biaxial tension, the strain in a given direction such as the ‘hoop’ tangential direction is given by the following constitutive relation - with Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν:

Eq 3

Finally, solving for unknown pressure as a function of hoop strain:

Eq 4

Resistance of a conductor of length L, cross-sectional area A, and resistivity ρ is

Eq 5

Consequently, a small differential change in ΔR/R can be expressed as

Eq 6

Where ΔL/L is longitudinal strain ε, and ΔA/A is –2νε where ν is the Poisson’s ratio of the resistive material. Substitution and factoring out ε from the right hand side leaves

Eq 7

Where Δρ/ρε can be considered nearly constant, and thus the parenthetical term effectively becomes a single constant, the gage factor, GF

Eq 8

For Wheat stone bridge:

Eq 9

Given that R1=R3=R4=Ro, and R2 (the strain gage) = Ro + ΔR, substituting into equation above:

Eq9

Substituting e with respective stress-strain relation

Eq 10

part b

Since, axial strain(1-2v) < hoop strain (2-v). V out axial < V out hoop.

Hence, dV hoop < dV axial.

part c
