Answer:

50421.6 m³

Explanation:

The river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 m³/s.

Tributary B accounts for 47% of the rate of water flow. Therefore the rate of water flow through tributary B is:

Flow rate of water through tributary B = 47% of 59.6 m³/s = 0.47 * 59.6 m³/s = 28.012 m³/s

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B = Flow rate of water through tributary B * time taken

time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 1800 seconds

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B in 30 seconds = 28.012 m³/s * 1800 seconds = 50421.6 m³

Answer: the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone = 30⁰

Explanation:

To calculate the  half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone.

we say ;

Sin∝ = 1 / Ma

given that Ma = 2

now we substitute

Sin∝ = 1 / 2

Sin∝ = 0.5

∝ = Sin⁻¹ 0.5

∝ = 30⁰

Therefore, the half-angle "alpha" of the Mach cone is 30⁰

Steam enters a turbine at 8000 kPa, 440oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 150 kPa and 0.19, respectively.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW

Explanation:

The turbine at steady-state is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot Q_{out} -\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0

The specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet are, respectively:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

h_{in} = 3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

h_{out} = 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The power produced by the turbine is:

\dot W_{out}=-\dot Q_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})

\dot W_{out} = -2.93\,kW + (1.57\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot (3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and leaves at 10 kPa with a quality of 90 percent. Neglecting the changes
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of steam m=5.4 Kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

  At the inlet of turbine P=10 MPa  ,T=500 C

 AT the exit of turbine  P=10 KPa   ,x=0.9

 Required power=5 MW

From steam table

<u> At 10 MPa and 500 C:</u>

  h=3374 KJ/Kg  ,s=6.59 KJ/Kg-K  (Super heated steam table)

<u>At 10 KPa:</u>

h_g=2675.1 KJ/Kg, h_f=417.51  KJ/Kg

s_g= 7.3  KJ/Kg-K                ,s_f=1.3   KJ/Kg-K

So enthalpy of steam at the exit of turbine

h= h_f+x(h_g- h_f)

Now by putting the values

h= 417.51+0.9(2675.1- 417.51) KJ/Kg

h=2449.34  KJ/Kg

Lets take m is the mass flow rate of steam

So 5\times 10^3=m\times (3374-2449.34)

m=5.4 Kg/s

So the mass flow rate of steam m=5.4 Kg/s
