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

5. Which of the following is false about onStep?
katovenus [111]

The false statement about onStep is: B. The default number of steps per second is 30.

<h3>What is an onStep?</h3>

An onStep can be defined as a computerized telescope goto controller that is designed and developed to <u>animate shapes</u> while using it on a variety of mounting systems such as forks.

<h3>The characteristics of an onStep.</h3>

In Engineering, some of the characteristics that are associated with an onStep include the following:

  • The onStep function can be called without user input.
  • It can be used to animate shapes without user input.
  • It only runs a certain number of times.

In conclusion, the default number of steps per second for onStep isn't 30.

A cylindrical metal specimen having an original diameter of 12.8 mm and gauge length of 50.80 mm is pulled in tension until frac
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

%Reduction in area = 73.41%

%Reduction in elongation = 42.20%

Explanation:

Given

Original diameter = 12.8 mm

Gauge length = 50.80mm

Diameter at the point of fracture = 6.60 mm (0.260 in.)

Fractured gauge length = 72.14 mm.

%Reduction in Area is given as:

((do/2)² - (d1/2)²)/(do/2)²

Calculating percent reduction in area

do = 12.8mm, d1 = 6.6mm

So,

%RA = ((12.8/2)² - 6.6/2)²)/(12.8/2)²

%RA = 0.734130859375

%RA = 73.41%

Calculating percent reduction in elongation

%Reduction in elongation is given as:

((do) - (d1))/(d1)

do = 72.14mm, d1 = 50.80mm

So,

%RA = ((72.24) - (50.80))/(50.80)

%RA = 0.422047244094488

%RA = 42.20%

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane-strain fracture tough
jeyben [28]

Complete question:

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 98.9 MPa root m (90 ksi root in.) and a yield strength of 860 MPa (125,000 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 3.0 mm (0.12 in.). If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.0, determine whether or not a critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection.

Answer:

Since the flaw 17mm is greater than 3 mm the critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection

so that critical flow is subject to detection  

Explanation:

We are given:

Plane strain fracture toughness K = 98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}

Yield strength Y = 860 MPa

Flaw detection apparatus = 3.0mm (12in)

y = 1.0

Let's use the expression:

oc = \frac{K}{Y \sqrt{pi * a}}

We already know

K= design

a = length of surface creak

Since we are to find the length of surface creak, we will make "a" subject of the formula in the expression above.

Therefore

a= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{k}{y*a}]^2

Substituting figures in the expression above, we have:

= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}} {10 * \frac{860MPa}{2}}]^2

= 0.0168 m

= 17mm

Therefore, since the flaw 17mm > 3 mm the critical flow is subject to detection
