Our aim is to calculate the efficiency of a gas turbine by assuming it operation can be modeled as a Carnot cycle. The kerosene

(jet fuel) combustion is modeled as a hot reservoir at 2000K. The atmosphere is the cold reservoir. Calculate the efficiency of this ideal and reversible engine. Can any real engine operating between the two reservoirs be more efficient than this engine?

Answer:

The efficiency of this ideal and reversible engine is 85 percent.

The efficiency of the Carnot cycle represents the efficiency of a thermal machine with no irreversibilities, hence, it is impossible for any real engine operating between the two reservoirs cannot be more efficient than this engine.

Explanation:

Let assume that the temperature of the atmosphere is 300 K. From Thermodynamics we know that the efficiency of the Carnot's cycle (\eta_{th}), dimensionless, is:

\eta_{th} = 1-\frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}} (1)

Where:

T_{H} - Temperature of the kerosene combustor (hot reservoir), measured in kelvins.

T_{L} - Temperature of the atmosphere (cold reservoir), measured in kelvins.

If we know that T_{L} = 300\,K and T_{H} = 2000\,K, then the efficieny of this ideal and reversible engine is:

\eta_{th} = 1-\frac{300\,K}{2000\,K}

\eta_{th} = 0.85

The efficiency of this ideal and reversible engine is 85 percent.

The efficiency of the Carnot cycle represents the efficiency of a thermal machine with no irreversibilities, hence, it is impossible for any real engine operating between the two reservoirs cannot be more efficient than this engine.

You have a motor such that if you give it 12 Volt, it will eventually reach a steady state speed of 200 rad/s. If it starts from
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

b) attached below

c) type zero system

d) k > \frac{g}{200}

e) The gain K increases above % error as the  steady state speed increases

Explanation:

Given data:

Motor voltage  = 12 v

steady state speed = 200 rad/s

time taken to reach 63.2% = 1.2 seconds

<u>a) The transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed</u>

let ; \frac{K1}{1+St} be the transfer function of a motor

when i/p = 12v then steady state speed ( k1 ) = 200 rad/s , St ( time constant ) = 1.2 sec

hence the transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed

= \frac{Ws}{Es}  = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}

<u>b) draw the block diagram of the system with plant controller and the feedback path </u>

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

c) The system is a type-zero system because the pole at the origin is zero

d) ) k > \frac{g}{200}
