1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of
0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),
Explanation:
Given information denotes that .,one gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of 5.3 terabecquerels (TBq)
the activity of 1 micro gram is
1 gram = 1,000,000 micro gram has activities of 5.3 terabecquerels
therefore 1 micro gram has the activity of (5.3 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.0000053 )
=
Hence ., 1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of
0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),
Answer:
Mechanical Efficiency = 83.51%
Explanation:
Given Data:
Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi
Flow rate =
Power of Pump = 3 hp
Required:
Mechanical Efficiency
Solution:
We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.
Now we will find the change in energy.
Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.
Thus change in energy is
As we know that Mass = Volume x density
substituting the value
Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density
Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP
Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW
Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft
Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238
Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
Answer:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
Please kindly see explaination and attachment.
Explanation:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.
Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
