Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp ( integrate the relation )

In ( $\frac{49-8}{60-8}$ ) = h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

= - 14.943 W/m^2K ( heat loss coefficient )

An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 278C, and 75

Inessa [10]

Answer:

(a). The value of temperature at the end of heat addition process $T_{3}$ = 2042.56 K

(b). The value of pressure at the end of heat addition process $P_{3}$ = 1555.46 k pa

(c). The thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle $E_{otto}$ = 0.4478

(d). The value of mean effective pressure of the cycle $P_{m}$ = 1506.41 $\frac{k pa}{kg}$

Explanation:

Compression ratio $r_{p}$ = 8

Initial pressure $P_{1}$ = 95 k pa

Initial temperature $T_{1}$ = 278 °c = 551 K

Final pressure $P_{2}$ = 8 × $P_{1}$ = 8 × 95 = 760 k pa

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = $T_{1}$ × $r_{p} ^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma} }$

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = 551 × $8 ^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} }$

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = 998 K

Heat transferred at constant volume Q = 750 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

(a). We know that Heat transferred at constant volume $Q_{S}$ = $m C_{v} ( T_{3} - T_{2} )$

⇒ 1 × 0.718 × ( $T_{3}$ - 998 ) = 750

⇒ $T_{3}$ = 2042.56 K

This is the value of temperature at the end of heat addition process.

Since heat addition is constant volume process. so for that process pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ $\frac{P_{3} }{P_{2} }$ = $\frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} }$

⇒ $P_{3}$ = $\frac{2042.56}{998}$ × 760

⇒ $P_{3}$ = 1555.46 k pa

This is the value of pressure at the end of heat addition process.

(b). Heat rejected from the cycle $Q_{R} = m C_{v} ( T_{4} - T_{1} )$

For the compression and expansion process,

⇒ $\frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} } = \frac{T_{4} }{T_{1} }$

⇒ $\frac{2042.56}{998} = \frac{T_{4} }{551}$

⇒ $T_{4}$ = 1127.7 K

Heat rejected $Q_{R}$ = 1 × 0.718 × ( 1127.7 - 551)

⇒ $Q_{R}$ = 414.07 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Net heat interaction from the cycle $Q_{net}$ = $Q_{S}$ - $Q_{R}$

Put the values of $Q_{S}$ & $Q_{R}$ we get,

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = 750 - 414.07

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = 335.93 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

We know that for a cyclic process net heat interaction is equal to net work transfer.

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = $W_{net}$

⇒ $W_{net}$ = 335.93 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

This is the net work output from the cycle.

(c). Thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle is given by

$E_{otto} = 1- \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }$

Put the values of $T_{1}$ & $T_{2}$ in the above formula we get,

$E_{otto} = 1- \frac{551 }{998 }$

⇒ $E_{otto}$ = 0.4478

This is the thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle.

(d). Mean effective pressure $P_{m}$ :-

We know that mean effective pressure of the Otto cycle is given by

$P_{m}$ = $\frac{W_{net} }{V_{s} }$ ---------- (1)

where $V_{s}$ is the swept volume.

$V_{s}$ = $V_{1} - V_{2}$ ---------- ( 2 )

From ideal gas equation $P_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = m × R × $T_{1}$

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 95 × $V_{1}$ = 1 × 0.287 × 551

⇒ $V_{1}$ = 0.6 $m^{3}$

From the same ideal gas equation

$P_{2}$ $V_{2}$ = m × R × $T_{2}$

⇒ 760 × $V_{2}$ = 1 × 0.287 × 998

⇒ $V_{2}$ = 0.377 $m^{3}$

Thus swept volume $V_{s}$ = 0.6 - 0.377

⇒ $V_{s}$ = 0.223 $m^{3}$

Thus from equation 1 the mean effective pressure

⇒ $P_{m}$ = $\frac{335.93}{0.223}$

⇒ $P_{m}$ = 1506.41 $\frac{k pa}{kg}$

This is the value of mean effective pressure of the cycle.

A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550°C at a rate

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A) condenser pressure = 9.73 kPa,

B) 10242 kw

C) 36.9%

Explanation:

given data

entrance pressure of steam = 12.5 MPa

temperature of steam = 550⁰c

flow rate of steam = 7.7 kg/s

outer pressure = 2 MPa

reheated steam temperature = 450⁰c

isentropic efficiency of turbine( nt ) = 85% = 0.85

isentropic efficiency of pump = 90% = 0.90

From steam tables

at 12.5 MPa and 550⁰c ; h3 = 3476.5 kJ/kg, S3 = 6.6317 kJ/kgK

also for an Isentropic expansion

S4s = S3 .

therefore when S4s = 6.6317 kJ/kg and P4 = 2 MPa

h4s = 2948.1 kJ/kg

nt = 0.85

nt (0.85) = $\frac{h3-h4}{h3-h4s}$ = $\frac{3476.5 - h4}{3476.5 - 2948.1}$

making h4 subject of the equation

h4 = 3476.5 - 0.85 (3476.5 - 2948.1)

h4 = 3027.3 kj/kg

at P5 = 2 MPa and T5 = 450⁰c

h5 = 3358.2 kj/kg, s5 = 7.2815 kj/kgk

at P6 , x6 = 0.95 and s5 = s6

using nt = 0.85 we can calculate for h6 and h6s

from the chart attached below we can see that

p6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kj/kg

B) the net power output

solution is attached below

c) thermal efficiency

thermal efficiency = 1 - $\frac{qout}{qin}$ = 1 - ( 2273.7/ 3603.8) = 36.9% ≈ 37%

Vernier calipers are capable of taking readings to the nearest 0.001 in. a)- True b)- false

Verizon [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Vernier caliper is used for measuring very small distances. It is very precise instrument for measuring very small distances.

With the help of vernier caliper we can measure distances from 6 inch to about 12 inch

But in question we have given 0.001 in so it is impossible to measure 0.001 inch from vernier caliper so it is a false statement

When will stemuless checks come I was told not to file my taxes because I get a pension check every month direct deposit money i

Keith_Richards [23]

The IRS and the U.S Department of the treasury declared that social security recipients are not required to file a simple tax return to receive stimulus payments under the CARES Act.

Explanation:

Due to the impact of corona virus problem, the CARES Act calls for stimulus payment to be sent to Americans based on their gross income.

The Social security recipients are not required to file a tax return and do not take action and they will receive the payments directly to their bank accounts.

The Automatic payments will begin by next week. The eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for 2019 or 2018 and chose direct deposit for their refund will automatically receive a stimulus payment of $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and $500 for each qualifying child.
