Answer:

250.7mw

Explanation:

Volume of the reservoir = lwh

Length of reservoir = 10km

Width of reservoir = 1km

Height = 100m

Volume = 10x10³x10³x100

= 10⁹m³

Next we find the volume flow rate

= 0.1/100x10⁹x1/3600

= 277.78m³/s

To get the electrical power output developed by the turbine with 92 percent efficiency

= 0.92x1000x9.81x277.78x100

= 250.7MW

Prefix version of 6600 volts​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts

Explanation:

A prefix is a word, number or a letter that is added before another word. In physics we have different prefixes for the exponential powers of 10, that are placed before units in place of those powers. Some examples are:

deci (d)   ------  10⁻¹

centi (c)   ------  10⁻²

milli (m)   ------   10⁻³

kilo (k)     ------   10³

mega (M) -----   10⁶

giga (G)   ------   10⁹

We have:

6600 volts

converting to exponential form:

=> 6.6 x 10³ volts

Thus, we know that the prefix of kilo (k) is used for 10³.

Hence,

=> <u>6.6 kilo volts = 6.6 k volts</u>

An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle operates at steady state with Refrigerant 134a as the working fluid. Saturated va
Ksju [112]

Explanation:

Note: Refer the diagram below

Obtaining data from property tables

State 1:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{1}=1.25 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat - vapour }\end{array}\right\} \begin{array}{l}h_{1}=234.45 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \\S_{1}=0.9346 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kgk}\end{array}

State 2:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{2}=5 \text { bor } \\S_{2}=S_{1}\end{array}\right\} \quad h_{2}=262.78 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

State 3:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{3}=5 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat }-4 q\end{array}\right\} h_{3}=71-33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

State 4:

Throttling process  h_{4}=h_{3}=71.33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

(a)

Magnitude of compressor power input

\dot{w}_{c}=\dot{m}\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)=\left(8 \cdot 5 \frac{\mathrm{kg}}{\min } \times \frac{1 \mathrm{min}}{\csc }\right)(262.78-234 \cdot 45)\frac{kj}{kg}

w_{c}=4 \cdot 013 \mathrm{kw}

(b)

Refrigerator capacity

Q_{i n}=\dot{m}\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)=\left(\frac{g \cdot s}{60} k_{0} / s\right) \times(234 \cdot 45-71 \cdot 33) \frac{k J}{k_{8}}

Q_{i n}=23 \cdot 108 \mathrm{kW}\\1 ton of retregiration =3.51 k \omega

\ Q_{in} =6 \cdot 583 \text { tons }

(c)

Cop:

\beta=\frac{\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)}{\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)}=\frac{Q_{i n}}{\omega_{c}}=\frac{23 \cdot 108}{4 \cdot 013}

\beta=5 \cdot 758

Do you get a better performance using premier gasoline (Octane number 93) for your compact car?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

As we know that octane number resist the engine from knocking.If knocking can prevent that automatically the performance of engine will increases.If octane number is 100 then it means that knocking tendency in the engine is zero.So higher the octane number better will the performance of the engine.

Generally octane number is 87 but for premier gasoline is 92 or 93.

So we can say that if octane number is  93 then car will give better performance

If the maximum allowable shear stress is 70 MPa, find the shaft diameter needed to transmit 40 kW when the shaft speed is 250 rp
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The diameter is 50mm

Explanation:

The answer is in two stages. At first the torque (or twisting moment) acting on the shaft and needed to transmit the power needs to be calculated. Then the diameter of the shaft can be obtained using another equation that involves the torque obtained above.

T=(P×60)/(2×pi×N)

T is the Torque

P is the the power to be transmitted by the shaft; 40kW or 40×10³W

pi=3.142

N is the speed of the shaft; 250rpm

T=(40×10³×60)/(2×3.142×250)

T=1527.689Nm

Diameter of a shaft can be obtained from the formula

T=(pi × SS ×d³)/16

Where

SS is the allowable shear stress; 70MPa or 70×10⁶Pa

d is the diameter of the shaft

Making d the subject of the formula

d= cubroot[(T×16)/(pi×SS)]

d=cubroot[(1527.689×16)/(3.142×70×10⁶)]

d=0.04808m or 48.1mm approx 50mm
