Answer:
power developed by the turbine = 6927.415 kW
Explanation:
given data
pressure = 4 MPa
specific enthalpy h1 = 3015.4 kJ/kg
velocity v1 = 10 m/s
pressure = 0.07 MPa
specific enthalpy h2 = 2431.7 kJ/kg
velocity v2 = 90 m/s
mass flow rate = 11.95 kg/s
solution
we apply here thermodynamic equation that
energy equation that is

put here value with
turbine is insulated so q = 0
so here

solve we get
w = 579700 J/kg = 579.7 kJ/kg
and
W = mass flow rate × w
W = 11.95 × 579.7
W = 6927.415 kW
power developed by the turbine = 6927.415 kW
Answer with Explanation:
Assuming that the degree of consolidation is less than 60% the relation between time factor and the degree of consolidation is

Solving for 'U' we get

Since our assumption is correct thus we conclude that degree of consolidation is 50.46%
The consolidation at different level's is obtained from the attached graph corresponding to Tv = 0.2
i)
= 71% consolidation
ii)
= 45% consolidation
iii)
= 30% consolidation
Part b)
The degree of consolidation is given by

Thus a settlement of 50.46 centimeters has occurred
For time factor 0.7, U is given by

thus consolidation of 85.59 % has occured if time factor is 0.7
The degree of consolidation is given by
