Answer:
The temperature T= 648.07k
Explanation:
T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k
T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown
T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k
but carnot efficiency of heat engine =
where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine
Tl is the temperature of the environment
since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em> </em> therefore
We have now that
multiplying through by T
multiplying through by 300
-
The temperature T= 648.07k
Answer:
a) 84.034°C
b) 92.56°C
c) ≈ 88 watts
Explanation:
Thickness of aluminum alloy fin = 12 mm
width = 10 mm
length = 50 mm
Ambient air temperature = 22°C
Temperature of aluminum alloy is maintained at 120°C
<u>a) Determine temperature at end of fin</u>
m = √ hp/Ka
= √( 140*2 ) / ( 12 * 10^-3 * 55 )
= √ 280 / 0.66 = 20.60
Attached below is the remaining answers
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Solution:-
- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.
- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.
- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.
- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.
- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:
U ∝ v^( 0.8 ) .... ( turbulence )
- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.
Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).
Answer:
If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Explanation:
Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.
It is calculated as;
where;
ρ is density
v is velocity
d is diameter
μ is viscosity
All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.
In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Answer:
1) The exergy of destruction is approximately 456.93 kW
2) The reversible power output is approximately 5456.93 kW
Explanation:
1) The given parameters are;
P₁ = 8 MPa
T₁ = 500°C
From which we have;
s₁ = 6.727 kJ/(kg·K)
h₁ = 3399 kJ/kg
P₂ = 2 MPa
T₂ = 350°C
From which we have;
s₂ = 6.958 kJ/(kg·K)
h₂ = 3138 kJ/kg
P₃ = 2 MPa
T₃ = 500°C
From which we have;
s₃ = 7.434 kJ/(kg·K)
h₃ = 3468 kJ/kg
P₄ = 30 KPa
T₄ = 69.09 C (saturation temperature)
From which we have;
h₄ = + x₄× = 289.229 + 0.97*2335.32 = 2554.49 kJ/kg
s₄ = + x₄× = 0.94394 + 0.97*6.8235 ≈ 7.563 kJ/(kg·K)
The exergy of destruction, , is given as follows;
= T₀ × = T₀ × × (s₄ + s₂ - s₁ - s₃)
= T₀ × ×(s₄ + s₂ - s₁ - s₃)/(h₁ + h₃ - h₂ - h₄)
∴ = 298.15 × 5000 × (7.563 + 6.958 - 6.727 - 7.434)/(3399 + 3468 - 3138 - 2554.49) ≈ 456.93 kW
The exergy of destruction ≈ 456.93 kW
2) The reversible power output, = + ≈ 5000 + 456.93 kW = 5456.93 kW
The reversible power output ≈ 5456.93 kW.
