Explanation:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.
Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Answer:
7.7 kN
Explanation:
The capacity of a material having a crack to withstand fracture is referred to as fracture toughness.
It can be expressed by using the formula:
where;
fracture toughness K = 137 MPa
geometry factor Y = 1
applied stress 
= ???
crack length a = 2mm = 0.002
∴
Now, the tensile impact obtained is:
P = A × σ
P = 1728.289 × 4.5
P = 7777.30 N
P = 7.7 kN
Answer:
Explanation:
Diffusion flux of a gas, J is given by
where 
is permeability coefficient, 
P is pressure difference and x is thickness of membrane.
The pressure difference will be 10,000 Pa- 3000 Pa= 7000 Pa
At 298 K, the permeability coefficient of water vapour through polypropylene sheet is 
Since the thickness of sheet is given as 1mm= 0.1 cm then
Therefore, the diffusion flux is
