Answer:

Mechanical Advantage Formula

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of its output to its input. It is also equal to the ratio of the actual and theoretical MAs. But, it does not mean that low-efficiency machines are of limited use. An automobile jack, for example, have to overcome a great deal of friction and therefore it has low efficiency. But still, it is extremely valuable because small effort can be applied to lift a great weight.

Also, in another way the mechanical advantage is the force generated by a machine to the force applied to it which is applied in assessing the performance of the machine.

The mechanical advantage formula is:

MA = FBFA

Explanation:

MAmechanical advantageFBthe force of the object

FAthe effort to overcome the force

A 0.19-m3 rigid tank equipped with a pressure regulator contains steam at 2 MPa and 300°C. The steam in the tank is now heated.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

576.21kJ

Explanation:

#We know that:

The balance mass $m_{in}+m_{out}=\bigtriangleup m_{system}$

so, $m_e=m_1-m_2$

$Energy \ Balance\\E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup E_{system}\\\\\therefore Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$

#Also, given the properties of water as;

$(P_1=2Mpa,T_1=300\textdegree C)->v_1=0.12551m^3/kg,u_1=2773.2kJ/kg->h_1=3024.2kJ/kg\\\\(P_2=2Mpa,T_1=500\textdegree C)->v_2=0.17568m^3/kg,u_1=3116.9kJ/kg->h_1=3468.3kJ/kg$

#We assume constant properties for the steam at average temperatures: $h_e=\approx(h_1+h_2)/2$

#Replace known values in the equation above; $h_e=(3024.2+3468.3)/2=3246.25kJ/kg\\\\m_1=V_1/v_1=0.19m^3/(0.12551m^3/kg)=1.5138kg\\\\m_2=V_2/v_2=0.19m^3/(0.17568m^3/kg)=1.0815kg$

#Using the mass and energy balance relations;

$m_e=m_1-m_2\\\\m_e=1.5138-1.0815\\\\m_e=0.4323kg$

#We have $Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ : we replace the known values in the equation as;

$Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1\\\\Q_i_n=0.4323kg\times3246.2kJ/kg+1.0815kg\times3116.9-1.5138kg\times2773.2kJ/kg\\\\Q_i_n=573.21kJ$

#Hence,the amount of heat transferred when the steam temperature reaches 500°C is 576.21kJ
