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) $\frac{r-1}{r}$ ]

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%

Answer:

The electrical power is 96.5 W/m^2

Explanation:

The energy balance is:

Ein-Eout=0

$qe+\alpha sGs+\alpha skyGsky-EEb(Ts)-qc=0$

if:

Gsky=oTsky^4

Eb=oTs^4

qc=h(Ts-Tα)

$\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha l Gl} \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {Gl} \, dl }$

$\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha lEl(l,5800 } \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {El(l,5800)} \, dl }$

if Gl≈El(l,5800)

$\alpha s=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))$

lt= 2*5800=11600 um-K, at this value, F=0.941

$\alpha s=(0.8*0.941)+0.3(1-0.941)=0.77$

The hemispherical emissivity is equal to:

$E=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))$

lt=2*333=666 K, at this value, F=0

$E=0+(1-0.7)(1)=0.3$

The hemispherical absorptivity is equal to:

$qe=EoTs^{4}+h(Ts-T\alpha )-\alpha sGs-\alpha oTsky^{4}=(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*333^{4})+10(60-20)-(0.77-600)-(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*233^{4})=96.5 W/m^{2}$

viktelen [127]

Answer:

second-law efficiency = 62.42 %

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 = 1200°C = 1473 K

temperature T2 = 20°C = 293 K

thermal efficiency η = 50 percent

solution

as we know that thermal efficiency of reversible heat engine between same temp reservoir

so here

efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 1 - $\frac{T2}{T1}$ ............1

efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 1 - $\frac{293}{1473}$

so efficiency ( reversible ) η1 = 0.801

so here second-law efficiency of this power plant is

second-law efficiency = $\frac{thernal\ efficiency}{0.801}$

second-law efficiency = $\frac{50}{0.801}$

second-law efficiency = 62.42 %
