Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m3/s. The compressor press

ure ratio is 10 and its isentropic efficiency is 85%. At the inlet to the turbine, the pressure is 950 kPa, and the temperature is 1400 K. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 88% and the exit pressure is 100 kPa. On the basis of an air-standard analysis,
a. develop a full accounting of the net exergy increase of the air passing through the gas turbine combustor, in kW.
b. devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency for the gas turbine cycle.

Answer:

a) 3581.15067 kw

b) 95.4%

Explanation:

<u>Given data:</u>

compressor efficiency = 85%

compressor pressure ratio = 10

Air enters at: flow rate of 5m^3/s , pressure = 100kPa, temperature = 300 K

At turbine inlet : pressure = 950 kPa, temperature = 1400k

Turbine efficiency = 88% , exit pressure of turbine = 100 kPa

A) Develop a full accounting of the exergy increase of the air passing through the gas turbine combustor in kW

attached below is a detailed solution to the given question

Discuss the impact of the changing urban center. Include the impacts on political, economic, and social roles and opportunities.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The 21st century world have been earmarked with great influx of people to the urban centre,the notion of gender equality and female education have also made most traditional roles in the family changing.Before now,wives we're known for their full independence on their husband who is considered the bread winner.

Inspite of the growth of of the urban centre the availability of resources have dwindled,resulting in the surge of unemployment in many urban centre,the political entity of the society which is the government have serious challenging in managing the various threat posed by overpopulation, unemployment results in the decrease of standard of living of person and family,to cater for this family have to change their roles,wives now work to support the husband.

An object whose mass is 251 kg is located at an elevation of 24 m above the surface of the earth. For g-9.78 ms, determine the g

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential =58.914 KJ

Explanation:

We know that

$Gravitational Potential Energy = mass\times g\times Height$

Given mass = 251 kg

Height= 24 m

g is acceleration due to gravity = $9.78m/s^{2}$

Applying values in the equation we get

$Gravitational Potential Energy=251X9.78X24 Joules$

$Gravitational Potential Energy=58914.72 Joules$

$Gravitational Potential Energy =\frac{58914.72}{1000}KJ= 58.914KJ$

Convert 850 nm wavelength into frequency, eV, wavenumber, joules and ergs.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Frequency = $3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber = $1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Energy = 1.4579 eV

Energy = $2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$

Explanation:

As we are given the wavelength = 850 nm

conversion used : $(1nm=10^{-9}m)$

So, wavelength is $850\times 10^{-9}m$

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

Where, c is the speed of light having value = $3\times 10^8m/s$

So, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Frequency=3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Wavenumber is the reciprocal of wavelength.

So,

$Wavenumber=\frac{1}{Wavelength}=\frac{1}{850\times 10^{-9}m}$

$Wavenumber=1.1765\times 10^6m^{-1}$

Also,

$Energy=h\times frequency$

where, h is Plank's constant having value as $6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s$

So,

$Energy=(6.62\times 10^{-34}J.s)\times (3.5294\times 10^{14}s^{-1})$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-19}J$

Also,

$1J=6.24\times 10^{18}eV$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times (6.24\times 10^{18}eV)$

$Energy=1.4579eV$

Also,

$1J=10^7erg$

So,

$Energy=(2.3365\times 10^{-19})\times 10^7erg$

$Energy=2.3365\times 10^{-12}erg$
