A cold air standard gas turbine engine with a thermal efficiency of 56.9 % has a minimum pressure of 100 kP
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 5.2 kPa
b) 49.3%
Explanation:
Given data:
Thermal efficiency ( л ) = 56.9% = 0.569
minimum pressure ( P1 ) = 100 kpa
<u>a) Determine the pressure at inlet to expansion process</u>
P2 = ?
r = 1.4
efficiency = 1 - [ 1 / (rp) ]
0.569 = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)^0.4/1.4
1 - 0.569 = 1 / (rp)^0.285
∴ (rp)^0.285 = 0.431
rp = 0.0522
note : rp = P2 / P1
therefore P2 = rp * P1 = 0.0522 * 100 kpa
= 5.2 kPa
b) Thermal efficiency
Л = 1 - [ 1 / ( 10.9 )^0.285 ]
= 0.493 = 49.3%

Explanation:
Assuming flow is uniform across the cross section of the artery, the mass flow rate is the product of the volumetric flow rate and the density.
(5 cm³/s)(1.06 g/cm³) = 5.3 g/s
If we assume the blood splits evenly at the bifurcation, then the downstream mass flow rate in each artery is half that:
(5.3 g/s)/2 = 2.65 g/s
__
The average velocity will be the ratio of volumetric flow rate to area. Upstream, that is ...
(5 cm³/s)/(π(0.25 cm)²) ≈ 25.5 cm/s
Downstream, we have half the volumetric flow and a smaller area.
(2.5 cm³/s)/(π(0.15 cm)²) ≈ 35.4 cm/s
