Answer:

Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.

Step-by-step solution:

Step 1 of 5

In 2009 an explosive eruption covered the island of Hunga Ha'apai in black volcanic ash. What type of succession is this?

dangina [55]

Answer:

The type of succession is:

Primary succession

Explanation:

This is a type of succession that occurs after a volcanic eruption or earthquake; it involves the breakdown of rocks by lichens to create new, nutrient rich soils.

Primary succession is one of the two types of succession we have. It begins on rock formations, such as volcanoes or mountains, or in a place with no organisms or soil.

If the efficiency of the boiler is 91.2 % , the overall efficiency of the turbine, which includes the Carnot efficiency and its

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Net efficiency of generating unit = 42.08 - 5 = 37.08 %

Explanation:

We have given that efficiency of the boiler = 91.2 % = 0.912

Carnot efficiency = 46.9 % = 0.469

Efficiency of generator = 98.4% =0.984

We have to find the efficiency of total generating unit

For finding the efficiency of total generating unit we have to multiply all the efficiencies

So efficiency of generating unit = 0.912×0.469×0.984 = 0.4208 = 42.08 %

For plant losses we have to subtract 5%

So net efficiency of generating unit = 42.08 - 5 = 37.08 %

Why or why not the following materials will make good candidates for the construction of

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

3.] a] A turbine blade is the individual component which makes up the turbine section of a gas turbine. The blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the combustor.

The turbine blades are often the limiting component of gas turbines. To survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often use exotic materials like superalloys and many different methods of cooling, such as internal air channels, boundary layer cooling, and thermal barrier coatings. The blade fatigue failure is one of the major source of outages in any steam turbines and gas turbines which is due to high dynamic stresses caused by blade vibration and resonance within the operating range of machinery.

To protect blades from these high dynamic stresses, friction dampers are used.

b] Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are highly advanced materials systems usually applied to metallic surfaces, such as on gas turbine or aero-engine parts, operating at elevated temperatures, as a form ofexhaust heat management.

These 100μm to 2mm coatings serve to insulate components from large and prolonged heat loads by utilizing thermally insulating materials which can sustain an appreciable temperature difference between the load-bearing alloys and the coating surface.

In doing so, these coatings can allow for higher operating temperatures while limiting the thermal exposure of structural components, extending part life by reducing oxidation and thermal fatigue.

In conjunction with active film cooling, TBCs permit working fluid temperatures higher than the melting point of the metal airfoil in some turbine applications.

Due to increasing demand for higher engine operation (efficiency increases at higher temperatures), better durability/lifetime, and thinner coatings to reduce parasitic weight for rotating/moving components, there is great motivation to develop new and advanced TBCs.

2. What is the original length of the rectangular bar if the deformation is 0.005 in with a force of 1000 lbs and an area of 0.7

Ugo [173]

Answer:

18.75in

Explanation:

Modulus of elasticity = Stress/Strain

Since stress = Force/Area

Given

Force = 1000lb

Area = 0.75sqin

Stress = 1000/0.75

Stress = 1333.33lbsqin

Strain

Strain = Stress/Modulus of elasticity

Strain = 1333.33/5,000,000

Strain = 0.0002667

Also

Strain = extension/original length

extension = 0.005in

Original length = extension/strain

Original length = 0.005/0.0002667

Original length = 18.75in

Hence the original length of the rectangular bar is 18.75in

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

<em>From the steam tables at 80 °C</em>

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 $m^3/kg$

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 $m^3/kg$

Now the relation of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

Substituting the values give

$v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg$

Now the volume of vessel is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3$

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ .

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ$

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680 $m^3$ and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

$v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg$

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

$u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ$

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3% or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.
