A steam power plant is represented as a heat engine operating between two thermal reservoirs at 800 K and 300 K. The temperature

of the steam in the boiler is 550 K and the temperature of the saturated water in the condenser is 330 K. The rates of heat transfer in the boiler and condenser are 4 MW and 2 MW, respectively. Please answer the following.
Required:
a. Represent the devices present in the heat engine and include their name along with the data given in the problem.
b. If this steam power plant were to operate as a reversible heat engine, with the boiler and condenser temperatures, what would be its thermal efficiency?
c. Use your result from part (b) to determine if the actual steam power plant can achieve such thermal efficiency. Justify your answer.
d. For the actual steam power plant is the Clausius inequality satisfied? Show you computation and discuss whether your result agrees or disagrees with your answer in part (c).

A piston-cylinder apparatus has a piston of mass 2kg and diameterof
iragen [17]

Answer:

M =2.33 kg

Explanation:

given data:

mass of piston - 2kg

diameter of piston is 10 cm

height of water 30 cm

atmospheric pressure 101 kPa

water temperature = 50°C

Density of water at 50 degree celcius is 988kg/m^3

volume of cylinder is  V = A \times h

                                       = \pi r^2 \times h

                                       = \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3

mass of available in the given container is

M = V\times d

  = volume \times density

= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3 \times 988

M =2.33 kg

1. A thin plate of a ceramic material with E = 225 GPa is loaded in tension, developing a stress of 450 MPa. Is the specimen lik
mina [271]

Answer:

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 (= 22.5)

Explanation:

If the maximum strength at tip Is greater than theoretical fracture strength value then fracture will occur and if the maximum strength is lower than theoretical fracture strength then no fracture will occur.

\sigma_m = 2\sigma_o [\frac{a}{\rho_t}]^{1/2}

=  2\times 750 (\frac{\frac{0.2mm}{2}}{0.001 mm}})^{1/2}

                 = 15 GPa

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 = 22.5

Which of the following is true about modern hydraulic lifts?
kaheart [24]

The modern hydraulic lifts make use of biodegradable fluid to transmit hydraulic power

<em>Question: The options are left out in the question. The details and facts about the modern hydraulic lift are presented here</em>

<em />

Details about the modern hydraulic lifts include;

The development of the  modern hydraulic occurred in the Industrial Revolution to perform task done previously by steam powered elevators  

The power of the hydraulic lift come from the hydraulic cylinder known as the actuator, which in turn is powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid such as oil

The hydraulic fluid is pushed by a piston rod through which energy is capable of being transferred, such that the applied force is multiplied, to provide more power for lifting

<u>Facts about the modern hydraulic lifts include;</u>

  • The dry motor in the modern hydraulic lift is more efficient and consumes 20% less energy
  • It comprises of valves that are controlled electronically such that the response is much rapid and the energy consumption is reduced by a further 20%
  • The cars used in the modern lift are lighter, as well as the slings, which reduces the power usage by 20%
  • It makes use of chemicals which are environmentally friendly as hydraulic fluid
  • The flash point of the fluid used is higher, as well as it posses 50% lower compressibility as well elasticity

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 0.6 W of power. The resistor is 1.5 cm long, and has a diameter of
Burka [1]

Answer:

a. 51.84Kj

b. 2808.99 W/m^2

c. 11.75%

Explanation:

Amount of heat this resistor dissipates during a 24-hour period

= amount of power dissipated * time

= 0.6 * 24 = 14.4 Watt hour

(Note 3.6Watt hour = 1Kj )

=14.4*3.6 = 51.84Kj

Heat flux = amount of power dissipated/ surface area

surface area = area of the two circular end  + area of the curve surface

=2*\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4} + \pi DL\\=2*\frac{\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100} )^{2} }{4} + \pi *\frac{0.4}{100} *\frac{1.5}{100}

= 2.136 *10^-4 m^{2}

Heat flux =\frac{0.6}{2.136 * 10^{-4} } = 2808.99 W/m^{2}

fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surface

=\frac{\frac{2*\pi D^{2} }{4} }{\frac{2*\pi D^{2}}{4} + \pi DL } \\\\=\\\frac{\frac{2*\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100} )^{2} }{4} }{\frac{2*\pi *(\frac{0.4}{100}  )^{2} }{4} +\pi *\frac{0.4}{100} *\frac{1.5}{100} } \\\\=\frac{2.51*10^{-5} }{2.136*10^{-4} } \\\\\= 0.1175

=11.75%
