Answer:

(a) the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw

(b) The second-law efficiency of he turbine = 86.05%

Explanation:

In state 1: the steam has a pressure of 6 MPa and 600°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state.

h1 = 3658 kJ/kg s1=7.167 kJ/kgK

In state 2: the steam has a pressure of 50 kPa and 100°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state

h2 = 2682kl/kg S2= 7.694 kJ/kg

Assuming that the energy balance equation given

Wout=m [h1-h2+(v1²-v2²) /2]

Let

W =5 MW

V1= 80 m/s V2= 140 m/s

h1 = 3658kJ/kg h2 = 2682 kJ/kg

∴5 MW x1000 kW/ 1 MW =m [(3658-2682)+ ((80m/s)²-(140m/s)²)/2](1N /1kg m/ s²) *(1KJ/1000 Nm)

m = 5.158kg/s

Consider the energy balance equation given

Wrev,out =Wout-mT0(s1-s2)

Substitute Wout =5 MW m = 5.158kg/s 7

s1= 7.167 kJ/kg-K s2= 7.694kJ/kg-K and 25°C .

Wrev,out=(5 MW x 1000 kW /1 MW) -5.158x(273+25) Kx(7.167-7.694)

= 5810 kW

(a) Therefore, the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw.

The given values of quantities were substituted and the reversible power output are calculated.

(b) Calculating the second law efficiency of the turbine:

η=Wout/W rev,out

Let Wout = 5 MW and Wrev,out = 5810 kW

η=(5 MW x 1000 kW)/(1 MW *5810)

η= 86.05%

The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec

Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins. Its value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness value of 0.9 which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).

In an international film festival, a penal of 11 judges is formed to judge the best film. At

Julli [10]

Answer:

International Film Festival

Judging the best best film:

a. The probability that out of five judges (random sample), three are in favor of film FA is:

= 33%.

b. The demerits of classical probability are:

1. Classical probability can only be used with events that have definite numbers of possible outcomes.

2. Classical probability can only handle events where each outcome is equally likely.

3. Classical probability is based on the assumption of linear relationship (which is not always true in real life) between the latent variable and observed scores.

Explanation:

a) Number of judges = 11

Number of judges in favor of FA film = 6

Number of judges in favor of FB film = 5

Probability of judges in favor of FA film = 6/11

Probability of judges in favor of FB film = 5/11

Random sample of judges = 5

Probability that out of five judges, three are in favor of film FA = 3/5 * 6/11

= 18/55

= 33%

b) Classical probability is the simple probability showing that each event has equal chance of happening. It can be contrasted with empirical probability that is obtained from experiments.

In a production facility, 3 cm thick large brass plates (k = 110 W/mC, α = 33.9 × 10-6 m2 /s) that are initially at a uniform

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given.

Thickness of brass plate $t = 3 cm$

Thermal conductivity of brass $k = 110 W/m.°C$

Density of brass $\rho = 8530 kg/m^3$

Specific heat of brass $C_p =380J/kg.°C$

Thermal diffusivity of brass $\alpha = 33.9\times 10^{-6} m^2/s$

Temperature of oven $T_{\infty} = 700°C$

The initial temperature $T_i= 25°C$

Plate remain in the oven $t =10 min$

Heat conduction in the plate is one-dimensional since the plate is large relative to its thickness and there is thermal symmetry about the center plane.

The thermal properties of the plate are constant.

The heat transfer coefficient is constant and uniform over the entire surface.

The Fourier number is > 0.2 so that the one-term approximate solutions (or the transient temperature charts) are applicable (this assumption will be verified).

The Biot number for this process $Bi = \frac{hL}{k}\\\\Bi=\frac{(80 W/m^2.°C)(0.015 m)}{(110 W/m.°C)}\\=Bi =0.0109$

The constants $\lambda_1$ and $A_1$ corresponding to this Biot are, from 11-2 tables.

The interpolation method used to find the

$\lambda_1=0.1039$ and $A_1=1.0018
$

The Fourier number $\tau=\frac{\alpha t}{L^2}\\\\\tau=\frac{(33.9\times 10^{-6} m^2/s)(10 min \times 60 s/min)}{(0.015m)^2}
\\\\\tau=90.4>0.2$

Therefore, the one-term approximate solution (or the transient temperature charts) is applicable.

Then the temperature at the surface of the plates becomes

$\theta(L,t)_{wall}=\frac{T(x,t)-T_{\infty}}{(T_i-T_{\infty})}\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=A_1e^{-\lambda_1^2\tau}\cos(\lambda_1L/L)\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=(1.0018)e^{-(0.1039^2(90.4))}\cos(0.1039)\\\\\theta(L,t)_{wall}=0.378\\\\\frac{T(L,t)-700}{25-700}=0.378\\\\T(L,t)=445°C$

At an operating frequency of 5 GHz, a 50 lossless coaxial line with insulating material having a relative permittivity r = 2.25

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The answer is "150 $\Omega$ ".

Explanation:

Its line length must be converted into wavelengths for the Smith chart to be used.

$\to \beta = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } \\\\\to u_p = \frac{\omega }{\beta}\\\\\lambda =\frac{2 pi}{\beta} =\frac{2 \pi U_p}{\omega}=\frac{c}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_r f}}$

$= \frac{3 \times 10^8}{ 2.25 \times (5 \times 10^9)}\\\\= \frac{3}{ 2.25 \times 5\times 10 }\\\\= \frac{3}{ 22.5 \times 5 }\\\\= \frac{3}{ 112.5}\\\\= 0.04 \ m.$

$l =\frac{0.30 }{0.04 } \times \lambda$

$= 7.5 \lambda$

Because it is an integrated half-wavelength amount,

$Z_{in} = Z_L = 150 \ \Omega$
