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%

Find:
Determine if the material is a low-loss dielectric, a quasi-conductor, or a good conductor, and then calculate α, β, λ, up, and ηc:
Solution:
- We need to determine the loss tangent to determine category of the medium as follows:
σ / w*εr*εo
Where, w is the angular speed of wave
εo is the permittivity of free space = 10^-9 / 36*pi
- Now we classify as follows:
- For σ / w*εr*εo < 0.01 --- Low-Loss dielectric and σ / w*εr*εo > 100 --- Good conducting material.
Glass: Low-Loss dielectric
Tissue: Quasi-Conductor
Wood: Good conductor
- Now we will use categorized material base equations from Table 17-1 as follows:
Glass: Low-Loss dielectric
α = (σ / 2)*sqrt(u / εr*εo) = (10^-12 / 2)*sqrt( 4*pi*10^-7/5*8.85*10^-12)
α = 8.42*10^-11 Np/m
β = w*sqrt (u*εr*εo) = 2pi*10^10*sqrt (4*pi*10^-7*5*8.85*10^-12)
β = 468.3 rad/m
λ = 2*pi / β = 2*pi / 468.3
λ = 1.34 cm
up = λ*f = 0.0134*10^10
up = 1.34*10^8 m/s
ηc = sqrt ( u / εr*εo ) = sqrt( 4*pi*10^-7/12*8.85*10^-12)
ηc = 168.5 Ω
Tissue: Quasi-Conductor
α = (σ / 2)*sqrt(u / εr*εo) = (0.3 / 2)*sqrt( 4*pi*10^-7/12*8.85*10^-12)
α = 9.75 Np/m
β = w*sqrt (u*εr*εo) = 2pi*100*10^6*sqrt (4*pi*10^-7*12*8.85*10^-12)
β = 12.16 rad/m
λ = 2*pi / β = 2*pi / 12.16
λ = 51.69 cm
up = λ*f = 0.5169*100*10^6
up = 0.52*10^8 m/s
ηc = sqrt ( u / εr*εo )*( 1 - j (σ / w*εr*εo))^-0.5
ηc = sqrt (4*pi*10^-7*12*8.85*10^-12)*( 1 - j 4.5)^-0.5
ηc = 39.54 + j 31.72 Ω
Wood: Good conductor
α = sqrt (pi*f*σ u) = sqrt( pi* 10^3 *4*pi* 10^-7 * 10^-4 )
β = α = 6.3*10^-4 Np/m
λ = 2*pi / β = 2*pi / 6.3*10^-4
λ = 10 km
up = λ*f = 10,000*1*10^3
up = 0.1*10^8 m/s
ηc = α*( 1 + j ) / б = 6.3*10^-4*( 1 + j ) / 10^-4
ηc = 6.28*( 1 + j )
Answer:
Not possible.
Explanation:
According to second law of thermodynamics, the maximum efficiency any heat engine could achieve is Carnot Efficiency η defined by:
Where
and
are temperature (in Kelvin) of heat source and heatsink respectively
In our case (I will be using K = 273+°C) :
In percentage, this is 14.28% efficiency, which is the <em>maximum</em> theoretical efficiency <em>any</em> heat engine could have while working between -27 and 14 °C temperature. Any claim of more efficient heat engine between these 2 temperature are violates the second law of thermodynamics. Therefore, the claim must be false.
