A life cycle assessment (LCA) determines the environmental impact at all stages of a product's life cycle, including production,

usage, and disposal;
the LCA process includes procedures that gather and evaluate the inputs and outputs of materials, energy, and the related impact that can be directly assigned to the product or process at any point in its life cycle;
the main purpose of an LCA is to assess potential environmental impact in order to address issues before hazardous or irreversible effects are created;
LCAs include goal definitions, inventories, impact analyses, and improvement analyses, which enable companies to identify environmental issues and explore possible solutions to problems; and
inherency is the property of a life cycle that may hide hazardous or energy-consuming processes, creating a net total product that appears to be benign or efficient but in actuality does have negative impacts.

53. The plan of a building is in the form of a rectangle with
schepotkina [342]

Answer: 150m

Explanation:

The following can be depicted from the question:

Dimensions of outer walls = 9.7m × 14.7m.

Thickness of the wall = 0.30 m

Therefore, the plinth area of the building will be:

= (9.7 + 0.30/2 + 0.30/2) × (14.7 × 0.30/2 + 0.30/2)

= 10 × 15

= 150m

1. (5 pts) An adiabatic steam turbine operating reversibly in a powerplant receives 5 kg/s steam at 3000 kPa, 500 °C. Twenty per
KiRa [710]

Answer:

temperature of first extraction 330.8°C

temperature of second extraction 140.8°C

power output=3168Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must use the following steps.

1. We will call 1 the water vapor inlet, 2 the first extraction at 100kPa and 3 the second extraction at 200kPa

2. We use the continuity equation that states that the mass flow that enters must equal the two mass flows that leave

m1=m2+m3

As the problem says, 20% of the flow represents the first extraction for which 5 * 20% = 1kg / s

solving

5=1+m3

m3=4kg/s

3.

we find the enthalpies and temeperatures in each of the states, using thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties

4.we find the enthalpy and entropy of state 1 using pressure and temperature

h1=Enthalpy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

h1=3457KJ/kg

s1=Entropy(Water;T=T1;P=P1)

s1=7.234KJ/kg

4.

remembering that it is a reversible process we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the first extraction with the pressure 1000 kPa and the entropy of state 1

h2=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P2)

h2=3116KJ/kg

T2=Temperature(Water;P=P2;s=s1)

T2=330.8°C

5.we find the enthalpy and the temperature in the second extraction with the pressure 200 kPav y the entropy of state 1

h3=Enthalpy(Water;s=s1;P=P3)

h3=2750KJ/kg

T3=Temperature(Water;P=P3;s=s1)

T3=140.8°C

6.

Finally, to find the power of the turbine, we must use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy that enters is the same that must come out.

For this case, the turbine uses a mass flow of 5kg / s until the first extraction, and then uses a mass flow of 4kg / s for the second extraction, taking into account the above we infer the following equation

W=m1(h1-h2)+m3(h2-h3)

W=5(3457-3116)+4(3116-2750)=3168Kw

Why can you anodise Aluminium and Magnesium alloys?
Anastasy [175]

Explanation:

Anodizing :

 Anodizing is the surface protection process from the environment.As we know that due to external environment surfaces get corrodes .By using anodizing process the outer surface  of material coated by using different type of coating material.

As the name stand that in the anodizing process there will be anode and oxygen.in this process oxidation of material take place .

Oxides of aluminium and magnesium are stable that is why they anodized by this process.
