The water in a soil flows from Point K to Point L, a distance of 250 ft. Point K is at elevation 543 ft and Point L is at elevat

ion 461 ft. Piezometers have been installed at both points, and their water levels are 23 ft and 74 ft, respectively, above the points. Compute the average hydraulic gradient between these two points.

Answer:

0.124

Explanation:

We calculate the hydraulic gradient by the formulas below.

I = (change in h)/(change in l)-----eqn 1

I = (hk-hl)/change in L ----- equation 2

At k the headloss = hk,

At L the headloss = hL

The distance of water travel is change in I

Total head at k

hk = 543+23

= 566 ft

Total head at L

hL = 461+74

= 535 ft

Change in L = 250

When we substitute these values in equation 2

566-535/250

= 0.124

The hydraulic gradient is 0.124

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 8 MPa and 500C with a mass flow rate of 3
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)temperature=69.1C

b)3054Kw

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below, the complete procedure is in the attached image

1. draw a complete outline of the problem

2. to find the temperature at the turbine exit  use termodinamic tables to find the saturation temperature at 30kPa

note=Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

3. Using thermodynamic tables find the enthalpy and entropy at the turbine inlet, then find the ideal enthalpy using the entropy of state 1 and the outlet pressure = 30kPa

4. The efficiency of the turbine is defined as the ratio between the real power and the ideal power, with this we find the real enthalpy.

Note: Remember that for a turbine with a single input and output, the power is calculated as the product of the mass flow and the difference in enthalpies.

5. Find the real power of the turbine

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) Q = 5.4 Kips

Explanation:

GIven

W = 18 Kips

μ₁ = 0.30

μ₂ = 0.60

a) P = ?

We get F₁  and F₂ as follows:

F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips

F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef

Then, we apply

∑Fy = 0   (+↑)

Nef*Cos 12º -  F₂*Sin 12º = W

⇒   Nef*Cos 12º -  (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18

⇒   Nef = 21.09 Kips

Wedge moves if

P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) For the static equilibrium of base plate

Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

A stationary gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A) W' = 15680 KW

B) W' = 17113.87 KW

Explanation:

We are given;

Temperature at state 1; T1 = 290 K

Temperature at state 3; T3 = 1100 K

Rate of heat transfer; Q_in = 35000 kJ/s = 35000 Kw

Pressure of air into compressor; P_c = 95 kPa

Pressure of air into turbine; P_t = 760 kPa

A) The power assuming constant specific heats at room temperature is gotten from;

W' = [1 - ((T4 - T1)/(T3 - T2))] × Q_in

Now, we don't have T4 and T2 but they can be gotten from;

T4 = [T3 × (r_p)^((1 - k)/k)]

T2 = [T1 × (r_p)^((k - 1)/k)]

r_p = P_t/P_c

r_p = 760/95

r_p = 8

Also,k which is specific heat capacity of air has a constant value of 1.4

Thus;

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

T4 = [(1100 × (8^((1 - 1.4)/1.4)]

T4 = 607.25 K

T2 = [290 × (8^((1.4 - 1)/1.4)]

T2 = 525.32 K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((607.25 - 290)/(1100 - 525.32))] × 35000

W' = 0.448 × 35000

W' = 15680 KW

B) The power accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature is given by;

W' = [1 - ((h4 - h1)/(h3 - h2))] × Q_in

From the table attached, we have the following;

At temperature of 607.25 K and by interpolation; h4 = 614.64 KJ/K

At T3 = 1100 K, h3 = 1161.07 KJ/K

At T1 = 290 K, h1 = 290.16 KJ/K

At T2 = 525.32 K, and by interpolation, h2 = 526.12 KJ/K

Thus;

W' = [1 - ((614.64 - 290.16)/(1161.07 - 526.12))] × 35000

W' = 17113.87 KW
