A stationary gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the

compressor at 95 kPa and 290 K and the turbine at 760 kPa and 1100 K. Heat is transferred to air at a rate of 35,000 kJ/s. Determine the power delivered by this plant (a) assuming constant specific heats at room temperature and (b) accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature.

Answer:

A) W' = 15680 KW

B) W' = 17113.87 KW

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature at state 1; T1 = 290 K

Temperature at state 3; T3 = 1100 K

Rate of heat transfer; Q_in = 35000 kJ/s = 35000 Kw

Pressure of air into compressor; P_c = 95 kPa

Pressure of air into turbine; P_t = 760 kPa

A) The power assuming constant specific heats at room temperature is gotten from;

W' = [1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2))] × Q_in

Now, we don't have T4 and T2 but they can be gotten from;

T4 = [T3 × (r_p)^((1 - k)/k)]

T2 = [T1 × (r_p)^((k - 1)/k)]

r_p = P_t/P_c

r_p = 760/95

r_p = 8

Also,k which is specific heat capacity of air has a constant value of 1.4

Thus;

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

T4 = [(1100 × (8^((1 - 1.4)/1.4)]

T4 = 607.25 K

T2 = [290 × (8^((1.4 - 1)/1.4)]

T2 = 525.32 K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((607.25 - 290)/(1100 - 525.32))] × 35000

W' = 0.448 × 35000

W' = 15680 KW

B) The power accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature is given by;

W' = [1 - ((h4 - h1)/(h3 - h2))] × Q_in

From the table attached, we have the following;

At temperature of 607.25 K and by interpolation; h4 = 614.64 KJ/K

At T3 = 1100 K, h3 = 1161.07 KJ/K

At T1 = 290 K, h1 = 290.16 KJ/K

At T2 = 525.32 K, and by interpolation, h2 = 526.12 KJ/K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((614.64 - 290.16)/(1161.07 - 526.12))] × 35000

W' = 17113.87 KW

python Given num_rows and num_cols, print a list of all seats in a theater. Rows are numbered, columns lettered, as in 1A or 3E.

MissTica

Explanation:

First of all get the input from the user, number of rows and number of columns where rows represents seat digit number and column represents the seat letter

rows is initialized to 1 to ensure that row starts at 1 or you can remove it then seat number will start from 0.

The first loop is used for digits starting from 1 to number of rows

The second loop is used for letters starting from 1 to number of columns

since rows and cols are not of the same type that's why we are converting the int type to string type

print(str(rows)+cols) counter will keep updating the columns A, B, C.....

rows= rows + 1 counter will keep updating the rows 1, 2, 3....

Code:

Please refer to the attached image.

Output:

Please enter the number of rows: 2

Please enter the number of columns: 3

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength $(\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa$ , Fracture strength

$(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa$

a) The critical length ( $L_c$ ) is given by:

$L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm$

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

$\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}} \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456$

If a heat engine has an efficiency of 30% and its power output is 600 W, what is the rate of heat input from the combustion phas

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The heat input from the combustion phase is 2000 watts.

Explanation:

The energy efficiency of the heat engine ( $\eta$ ), no unit, is defined by this formula:

$\eta = \frac{\dot W}{\dot Q}$ (1)

Where:

$\dot Q$ - Heat input, in watts.

$\dot W$ - Power output, in watts.

If we know that $\dot W = 600\,W$ and $\eta = 0.3$ , then the heat input from the combustion phase is:

$\eta = \frac{\dot W}{\dot Q}$

$\dot Q = \frac{\dot W}{\eta}$

$\dot Q = \frac{600\,W}{0.3}$

$\dot Q = 2000\,W$

The heat input from the combustion phase is 2000 watts.

Two identical billiard balls can move freely on a horizontal table. Ball a has a velocity V0 and hits balls B, which is at rest,

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Velocity of ball B after impact is $0.6364v_0$ and ball A is $0.711v_0$

Explanation:

$v_0$ = Initial velocity of ball A

$v_A=v_0\cos45^{\circ}$

$v_B$ = Initial velocity of ball B = 0

$(v_A)_n'$ = Final velocity of ball A

$v_B'$ = Final velocity of ball B

$e$ = Coefficient of restitution = 0.8

From the conservation of momentum along the normal we have

$mv_A+mv_B=m(v_A)_n'+mv_B'\\\Rightarrow v_0\cos45^{\circ}+0=(v_A)_n'+v_B'\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0$

Coefficient of restitution is given by

$e=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_A-v_B}\\\Rightarrow 0.8=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_0\cos45^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0$

$(v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0$

$v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0$

Adding the above two equations we get

$2v_B'=\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0\\\Rightarrow v_B'=\dfrac{0.9}{\sqrt{2}}v_0$

$\boldsymbol{\therefore v_B'=0.6364v_0}$

$(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0-0.6364v_0\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'=0.07071v_0$

From the conservation of momentum along the plane of contact we have

$(v_A)_t'=(v_A)_t=v_0\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_t'=\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}$

$v_A'=\sqrt{(v_A)_t'^2+(v_A)_n'^2}\\\Rightarrow v_A'=\sqrt{(\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(0.07071v_0)^2}\\\Rightarrow \boldsymbol{v_A'=0.711v_0}$

Velocity of ball B after impact is $0.6364v_0$ and ball A is $0.711v_0$ .
