I think it’s rationalization.
Hope this helps
Answer:
Coins weigh less on the Moon.
Explanation:
Gravity is only 1/6th as strong on the Moon than it is on Earth. Where a nickle is about 5 grams on Earth, it is less than 1 gram on the Moon. Gravity is affected by the size of the planet or moon. The Moon is much less massive than the Earth.
Answer:
While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.
Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.
Explanation:
The obtained data from water properties tables are:
Point 1 (condenser exit) @ 8 KPa, saturated fluid

Point 2 (Pump exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated fluid & @ 4 MPa, saturated fluid

Point 3 (Boiler exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated steam & @ 4 MPa, saturated steam

Point 4 (Turbine exit) @ 8 KPa, mixed fluid

Calculate mass flow rates
Part a) @ 18 MPa
mass flow

Heat transfer rate through boiler

Heat transfer rate through condenser

Thermal Efficiency

Part b) @ 4 MPa
mass flow

Heat transfer rate through boiler

Heat transfer rate through condenser

Thermal Efficiency
