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

The air contained in a room loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of 60 kJ/min while work is supplied to the room by computer
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

Explanation:

Given that

Heat loss from room (Q)= 60 KJ/min

Work supplied to the room(W) = 1.2 KW = 1.2 KJ/s

We know that  1 W = 1 J/s

Sign convention for heat and work:

1. If heat is added to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is rejected from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If work is done by the system then it is taken as positive and if work is done on the system then it is taken as negative.

So

Q = -60 KJ/min

In 10 min Q = -600 KJ

W = -1.2 KJ/s

We know that

1 min = 60 s

10 min = 600 s

So   W = -1.2 x 600 KJ

W = -720 KJ

WE know that ,first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

-600  =  - 720 + ΔU

ΔU = 120 KJ

The net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 10-min period is 120 KJ.

The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which µk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is s = 4 m from the 10-k
sammy [17]

Answer:

s_max = 0.8394m

Explanation:

From equilibrium of block, N = W = mg

Frictional force = μ_k•N = μ_k•mg

Since μ_k = 0.3,then F = 0.3mg

To determine the velocity of Block A just before collision, let's apply the principle of work and energy;

T1 + ΣU_1-2 = T2

So, (1/2)m_a•(v_ao)² - F•s =(1/2)m_a•(v_a1)²

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

(1/2)•(15)•(10)² - (0.3•15•9.81•4) =(1/2)(15)•(v_a1)²

750 - 176.58 = 7.5(v_a1)²

v_a1 = 8.744 m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum;

Σ(m1v1) = Σ(m2v2)

Thus,

m_a•v_a1 + m_b•v_b1 = m_a•v_a2 + m_b•v_b2

Thus;

15(8.744) + 10(0) = 15(v_a2) + 10(v_b2)

Divide through by 5;

3(8.744) + 2(0) = 3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2)

Thus,

3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2) = 26.232 - - - (eq1)

Coefficient of restitution has a formula;

e = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(v_a1 - v_b1)

From the question, e = 0.6.

Thus;

0.6 = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(8.744 - 0)

0.6 x 8.744 = (v_b2 - v_a2)

(v_b2 - v_a2) = 5.246 - - - (eq2)

Solving eq(1) and 2 simultaneously, we have;

v_b2 = 8.394 m/s

v_a2 = 3.148 m/s

Now, to find maximum compression, let's apply conservation of energy on block B;

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

Thus,

(1/2)m_b•(v_b2)² + (1/2)k(s_1)² = (1/2)m_b•(v_b'2)² + (1/2)k(s_max)²

(1/2)10•(8.394)² + (1/2)1000(0)² = (1/2)10•(0)² + (1/2)(1000)(s_max)²

500(s_max)² = 352.29618

(s_max)² = 352.29618/500

(s_max)² = 0.7046

s_max = 0.8394m

An L2 steel strap having a thickness of 0.125 in. and a width of 2 in. is bent into a circular arc of radius 600 in. Determine t
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

steel strap thickness = 0.125 in

width = 2 in

circular arc radius = 600 in

we know that, standard value of modulus of elasticity of L2 steel is; E = 29 × 10³ ksi;

Now, using simple theory of bending

1/p = M/EI

solve for M

Mp = EI

M = EI / p ----- let this be equation 1

The maximum bending stress in the strap is;

σ = Mc / I -------let this be equation 2

substitute equation 1 into 2

σ = ( EI / p)c / I

σ = ( c/p )E

so we substitute in our values

σ = ( (0.125/2) / 600 )29 × 10³

σ = 0.00010416666 × 29 × 10³

σ = 3.02 ksi

Therefore, the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi
