Solar energy stored in large bodies of water, called solar ponds, is being used to generate electricity. If such a solar power p

lant has an efficiency of 4.5 percent and a net power output of 150 kW, determine the average value of the required solar energy collection rate, in Btu/h.

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Air expands through a turbine from 10 bar, 900 K to 1 bar, 500 K. The inlet velocity is small compared to the exit velocity of 1
Elis [28]

Answer:

- the mass flow rate of air is 7.53 kg/s

- the exit area is 0.108 m²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

lets take a look at the steady state energy equation;

m" = W"_{cv / [ (h₁ - h₂ ) -\frac{V_2^2}{2} ]

Now at;

T₁ = 900K, h₁ = 932.93 k³/kg

T₂ = 500 K, h₂ = 503.02 k³/kg

so we substitute, in our given values

m" = [ 3200 kW × \frac{1\frac{k^3}{s} }{1kW} ] / [ (932.93 - 503.02  )k³/kg  -\frac{100^2\frac{m^2}{s^2} }{2}|\frac{ln}{kg\frac{m}{s^2} }||\frac{1kJ}{10^3N-m}| ]

m" = 7.53 kg/s

Therefore, the mass flow rate of air is 7.53 kg/s

now, Exit area A₂ = v₂m" / V₂

we know that; pv = RT

so

A₂ = RT₂m" / P₂V₂

so we substitute

A₂ = {[ (\frac{8.314}{28.97}\frac{k^3}{kg.K})×500 K×(7.54 kg/s) ] / [(1 bar)(100 m/s )]} |\frac{1 bar}{10N/m^2}||10^3N.m/1k^3

A₂ = 0.108 m²

Therefore, the exit area is 0.108 m²

Find the error in the following pseudo code
IRISSAK [1]

Pseudocodes are used as a prototype of an actual program.

The error in the pseudocode is that, the while loop in the pseudocode will run endlessly.

From the pseudocode, the first line is:

<em>Declare Boolean finished = false</em>

The while loop is created to keep running as long as <em>finished = false.</em>

So, for the while loop to end, the finished variable must be updated to true.

This action is not implemented in the pseudocode.

Hence, the error in the pseudocode is that, the while loop is an endless loop

Technician A states that air tools generally produce more noise than electric tools, so wear ear protection when using air tools
dusya [7]

Answer:

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct

Explanation:

Air tools and electric tools are both power tools as they are used to make work easier. Air tools generally use an air compressor that powers the motor of the tool making it possible to use it while electric tools as the name implies are powered by an electric source which in this case is batteries. An example of an air tool is the nail gun which can be used by furniture makers to drive nails and they are often louder than electric tools because of vibrations caused by the compressor making it necessary to use ear protection when using the tool for ear safety.

Technician B  is also correct because it is always advisable to use impact sockets while using impact guns due to the ability of the impact sockets to withstand the force caused by operating impact guns and make work neater when nuts and bolts are being loosened or tightened.

A fuel gas containing 45.00 mole% methane and the balance ethane is burned completely with pure oxygen at 25.00 degree C, and th
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

A)

- Q ( kw ) for vapor =  -1258.05 kw

- Q ( kw ) for liquid = -1146.3 kw

B )

- Q ( kj ) for vapor  = -1258.05 kJ

- Q ( KJ ) for liquid = - 1146.3 KJ

Explanation:

Given data :

45.00 % mole of methane

55.00 % of ethane

attached below is a detailed solution

A) calculate - Q(kw)

- Q ( kw ) for vapor =  -1258.05 kw

- Q ( kw ) for liquid = -1146.3 kw

B ) calculate  - Q ( KJ )

- Q ( kj ) for vapor  = -1258.05 kJ

- Q ( KJ ) for liquid = - 1146.3 KJ

since combustion takes place in a constant-volume batch reactor
