Explanation:

There are 8.35 pounds in a gallon of water. Water weighs 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 000 kilogram per cubic meter, i.e. density of water is equal to 1 000 kg/m³; at 25°C (77°F or 298.15K) at standard atmospheric pressure.

Steam at 1400 kPa and 350°C [state 1] enters a turbine through a pipe that is 8 cm in diameter, at a mass flow rate of 0.1 kg⋅s−

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Power output, $P_{out} = 178.56 kW$

Given:

Pressure of steam, P = 1400 kPa

Temperature of steam, $T = 350^{\circ}C$

Diameter of pipe, d = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 0.1 kg.s^{- 1}$

Diameter of exhaust pipe, $d_{h} = 15 cm = 0.15 m$

Pressure at exhaust, P' = 50 kPa

temperature, T' = $100^{\circ}C$

Solution:

Now, calculation of the velocity of fluid at state 1 inlet:

$\dot{m} = \frac{Av_{i}}{V_{1}}$

$0.1 = \frac{\frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}v_{i}}{0.2004}$

$0.1 = \frac{\frac{\pi 0.08^{2}}{4}v_{i}}{0.2004}$

$v_{i} = 3.986 m/s$

Now, eqn for compressible fluid:

$\rho_{1}v_{i}A_{1} = \rho_{2}v_{e}A_{2}$

Now,

$\frac{A_{1}v_{i}}{V_{1}} = \frac{A_{2}v_{e}}{V_{2}}$

$\frac{\frac{\pi d_{i}^{2}}{4}v_{i}}{V_{1}} = \frac{\frac{\pi d_{e}^{2}}{4}v_{e}}{V_{2}}$

$\frac{\frac{\pi \times 0.08^{2}}{4}\times 3.986}{0.2004} = \frac{\frac{\pi 0.15^{2}}{4}v_{e}}{3.418}$

$v_{e} = 19.33 m/s$

Now, the power output can be calculated from the energy balance eqn:

$P_{out} = -\dot{m}W_{s}$

$P_{out} = -\dot{m}(H_{2} - H_{1}) + \frac{v_{e}^{2} - v_{i}^{2}}{2}$

$P_{out} = - 0.1(3.4181 - 0.2004) + \frac{19.33^{2} - 3.986^{2}}{2} = 178.56 kW$

Define coordination number. How does this differ from atomic packing factor?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Coordination number:

Coordination number can be defined as the number of nearest atoms which touch the central atom.In simple word the number of neighbours atoms which touches a an atoms.

Atomic packing factor :

It is also known as packing efficiency.It is the fraction of volume in a Crystal which is filled by constituent particles.It is always less than 1.Generally it is represented in the fraction.

Ex:

Lets take FCC cubic cell

Coordination number = 12 .

Atomic packing factor = 74%

A heat pump designer claims to have an air-source heat pump whose coefficient of performance is 1.8 when heating a building whos

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The claim is valid.

Explanation:

Let assume that heat pump is reversible. The coefficient of performance for the heat pump is:

$COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{HP} = \frac{300\,K}{300\,K-260\,K}$

$COP_{HP} = 7.5$

The claim is valid as real heat pumps have lower coefficients of performance.

Marcus wants to pursue a career in civil engineering. He aims to work for the city council as a civil engineer. What examination

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Marcus would have to take an exam administered by the national council of examiners for engineering and surveying.

Explanation:

Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain projects regarding infrastructure. A civil engineer also looks after the systems in the public and private sectors like roads, buildings, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.

In order to pursue a career in civil engineering, Marcus aims to work for the city council as a civil engineer. Therefore, he would have to take an exam administered by the national council of examiners for engineering and surveying.
