You are an engineer in an electric-generation station. You know that the flames in the boiler reach a temperature of 1200 K and

that cooling water at 300 K is available from a nearby river. You also know that the metallurgical temperature limit for the blades in the turbine is 1000 K before they will incur excessive creep. Now what is the maximum efficiency for this plant

Water vapor at 10bar, 360°C enters a turbine operatingat steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 0.8m3/s and expandsadiabati
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

A) W' = 178.568 KW

B) ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k

C) η = 0.3

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature at state 1;T1 = 360 °C

Temperature at state 2;T2 = 160 °C

Pressure at state 1;P1 = 10 bar

Pressure at State 2;P2 = 1 bar

Volumetric flow rate;V' = 0.8 m³/s

A) From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific volume;v1 = 0.287322 m³/kg

Mass flow rate of water vapour at turbine is defined by the formula;

m' = V'/v1

So; m' = 0.8/0.287322

m' = 2.784 kg/s

Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific enthalpy;h1 = 3179.46 KJ/kg

Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

Specific enthalpy;h2 = 3115.32 KJ/kg

Now, since stray heat transfer is neglected at turbine, we have;

-W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]

Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;

-W' = m'(h2 - h1)

Plugging in relevant values, the work of the turbine is;

W' = -2.784(3115.32 - 3179.46)

W' = 178.568 KW

B) Still From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;

Specific entropy: s1 = 7.3357 KJ/Kg.k

Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

Specific entropy; s2 = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k

The amount of entropy produced is defined by;

ΔS = m'(s2 - s1)

ΔS = 2.784(8.2828 - 7.3357)

ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k

C) Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with s2 = s2s = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;

h2s = 2966.14 KJ/Kg

Energy equation for turbine at ideal process is defined as;

Q' - W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]

Again, Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;

-W' = m'(h2s - h1)

W' = -2.784(2966.14 - 3179.46)

W' = 593.88 KW

the isentropic turbine efficiency is defined as;

η = W_actual/W_ideal

η = 178.568/593.88 = 0.3

In a planetary geartrain with a form factor of 8, the sun gear rotates clockwise at 5 rad⁄s and the ring gear rotates clockwise
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

D. N= 11. 22 rad/s (CW)

Explanation:

Given that

Form factor R = 8

Speed of sun gear = 5 rad/s (CW)

Speed of ring gear = 12 rad/s (CW)

Lets take speed of carrier gear is N

From Algebraic method ,the relationship between speed and form factor given as follows

\dfrac{N_{sun}-N}{N_{ring}-N}=-R

here negative sign means that ring and sun gear rotates in opposite direction

Lets take CW as positive and ACW as negative.

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{N_{sun}-N}{N_{ring}-N}=-R

\dfrac{5-N}{12-N}=-8

N= 11. 22 rad/s (CW)

So the speed of carrier gear is 11.22 rad/s clockwise.

True or False? Early engineers used a trial-and­error approach, rather than mathematical and scientific principles when solving
yarga [219]

Answer:

<h2>True Most Especially in the field of Automotive Engineering</h2>

Explanation:

Normally, before the introduction of vehicle diagnostics when a vehicle, mostly automobile/car break down, one could be the vehicle mechanic would only suspect one or two related faults based on the present working condition of the car, the mechanic would perform some trial and error before he could fix the car.

But in recent times, the introduction of vehicle diagnostics devices and software has changed the order as vehicles can be connected to a computer that will scan and tell what   the problem is before a possible fix.
