krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) 42.08 ft/sec

b) 3366.33 ft³/sec

c) 0.235

d) 18.225 ft

e) 3.80 ft

Explanation:

Given:

b = 80ft

y1 = 1 ft

y2 = 10ft

a) Let's take the formula:

$\frac{y2}{y1} = \frac{1}{5} * \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1}$

$10*2 = \sqrt{1 + 8f^2 - 1$

1 + 8f² = (20+1)²

= 8f² = 440

f² = 55

f = 7.416

For velocity of the faster moving flow, we have :

$\frac{V_1}{\sqrt{g*y_1}} = 7.416$

$V_1 = 7.416 *\sqrt{32.2*1}$

V1 = 42.08 ft/sec

b) the flow rate will be calculated as

Q = VA

VA = V1 * b *y1

= 42.08 * 80 * 1

= 3366.66 ft³/sec

c) The Froude number of the sub-critical flow.

V2.A2 = 3366.66

Where A2 = 80ft * 10ft

Solving for V2, we have:

$V_2 = \frac{3666.66}{80*10}$

= 4.208 ft/sec

Froude number, F2 =

$\frac{V_2}{g*y_2} = \frac{4.208}{32.2*10}$

F2 = 0.235

d) $El = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)^3}{4*y_1*y_2}$

$El = \frac{(10-1)^3}{4*1*10}$

$= \frac{9^3}{40}$

= 18.225ft

e) for critical depth, we use :

$y_c = [\frac{(\frac{3366.66}{80})^2}{32.2}]^1^/^3$

= 3.80 ft

Steam at a pressure of 100 bar and temperature of 600 °C enters an adiabatic nozzle with a velocity of 35 m/s. It leaves the noz

butalik [34]

Answer:

Exit velocity $V_2=1472.2$ m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

At inlet:

$P_1=100 bar,T_=600°C,V_1=35m/s$

Properties of steam at 100 bar and 600°C

$h_1=3624.7\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

At exit:Lets take exit velocity $V_2$

We know that if we know only one property inside the dome then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

Given that dryness or quality of steam at the exit of nozzle is 0.85 and pressure P=80 bar.So from steam table we can find the other properties.

Properties of saturated steam at 80 bar

$h_f= 1316.61\frac{KJ}{Kg} ,h_g= 2757.8\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

So the enthalpy of steam at the exit of turbine

$h_2=h_f+x(h_g-h_f)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$h_2=1316.61+0.85(2757.8-1316.61)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$h_2=2541.62\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

Now from first law for open system

$h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}+w$

In the case of adiabatic nozzle Q=0,W=0

$3624.7+\dfrac{35^2}{2000}+0=2541.62+\dfrac{(V_2)^2}{2000}+0$

$V_2=1472.2$ m/s

So Exit velocity $V_2=1472.2$ m/s.

An inventor claims to have devised a cyclical power engine that operates with a fuel whose temperature is 750 °C and radiates wa

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given Data

Temprature of source=750°c=1023k

Temprature of sink =0°c=273k

Work produced=3.3KW

Heat Rejected=4.4KW

Efficiency of heat engine(η)= $\frac{Work produced}{Heat supplied}$

and

Heat Supplied ${\left (Q_s\right)}=Work Produced(W)+Heat rejected\left ( Q_r \right )$

${Q_s}=3.3+4.4=7.7KW$

η= $\frac{3.3}{7.7}$

η=42.85%

Also the maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between two different Tempratures i.e. Source & Sink

η=1- $\frac{T_ {sink}}{T_ {source}}$

η=1- $\frac{273}{1023}$

η=73.31%

Therefore our Engine Efficiency is less than the maximum efficiency hence the given claim is valid.
