Answer:

\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%

Explanation:

First, we will find actual properties at given inlet and outlet states by the use of steam tables:

AT INLET:

At 4MPa and 350°C, from the superheated table:

h₁ = 3093.3 KJ/kg

s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

AT OUTLET:

At P₂ = 125 KPa and steam is saturated in  vapor state:

h₂ = h_{g\ at\ 125KPa} = 2684.9 KJ/kg

Now, for the isentropic enthalpy, we have:

P₂ = 125 KPa and s₂ = s₁ = 6.5843 KJ/kg.K

Since s₂ is less than s_g and greater than s_f at 125 KPa. Therefore, the steam is in a saturated mixture state. So:

x = \frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}} \\\\x = \frac{6.5843\ KJ/kg.K - 1.3741\ KJ/kg.K}{5.91\ KJ/kg.K}\\\\x = 0.88

Now, we will find h_{2s}(enthalpy at the outlet for the isentropic process):

h_{2s} = h_{f\ at\ 125KPa}+xh_{fg\ at\ 125KPa}\\\\h_{2s} = 444.36\ KJ/kg + (0.88)(2240.6\ KJ/kg)\\h_{2s} = 2416.088\ KJ/kg

Now, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be given as follows:

\eta_{turbine} = \frac{h_1-h_2}{h_1-h_{2s}}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2684.9\ KJ/kg}{3093.3\ KJ/kg-2416.088\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = \frac{408.4\ KJ/kg}{677.212\ KJ/kg}\\\\\eta_{turbine} = 0.603 = 60.3\%

Identify the phase of the design process illustrated in the following scenario, and justify its importance. Kristin has recently
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The design process is at the verify phase of Design for Six Sigma

Explanation:

In designing for Six Sigma, DFSS, is a product or process design methodology of which the goal is the detailed identification of the customer business needs by using measurements tools such as statistical data, and incorporating the identified need into the created product which in this case is the hydraulic robot Kristin Designed

Implementation of DFSS follows a number of stages that are based on the DMAIC (Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve) projects such as the DMADV which stand for define - measure - analyze - verify

Therefore, since Kristin is currently ensuring that the robot is working correctly and meeting the needs of her client the design process is at the verify phase.

An artist is creating a gigantic mobile using old cars. On one end of the mobile, a 2100 lb Plymoth is suspended 30 feet from th
ozzi

Answer:

  c  45 feet from the fulcrum

Explanation:

The moment at the fulcrum must be the same for each car. If the distance is d, then the artist must have ...

  (2100 lb)(30 ft) = (1400 lb)(d)

  2100·30/1400 ft = d = 45 ft

The Volkswagen should be 45 ft from the fulcrum.

A spherical balloon is filled with a gas. The outer diameter of the balloon is 20 in. and the thick-ness is 0.012 in. Calculate
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

1.4 psi

Explanation:

Before diving into the solution to the question above, let's pick out the parameters needed in solving this problem from the question.

=> The measurement for the outer diameter of the balloon = 20 inches, the measurement for the thickness =  0.012 in,  the allowable tensile stress = 1ksi and the allowable shear stress in the balloon =  0.3 ksi.

The first thing to determine is the inner diameter = 20 - 2 ×  0.012 in = 19.976 in.

Therefore, the tensile stress:

1000 = k × [19.976/2]÷ 2 × 0.012 = 2.4 psi.

Also, the sheer stress which is also the maximum permissible pressure in the balloon can be calculated below as:

0.3 × 1000 = k × [19.976/2]/ 4 × 0.012 = 1.4 psi.
