Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Electric meter

Explanation:

An electric meter is a metering device that is used for the measurement of the electric power consumption of an electrical powered tools, a living space or a building

Electric meter readings are used by electric utility company to sell electric power to consumers at a given rate such that it allows the electric utility company to receive payment for the total power supplied, and for the consumer to regulate the amount of power consumed

The electric meters are usually calibrated in kilowatt hour (kWh) and prepaid meter displays the amount of units of power bought, while post paid meters are usually read once each billing period which is usually one month.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is $32^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$C_{p}$ = 1000 J/kg K, R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

$P_{1}$ = 100 kPa, $V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s$

$T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K$

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}$

or, m = $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}$

= 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

$mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W$

$h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}$

$C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}$

$(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}$

$(T_{2} - T_{1})$ = 5 K

$T_{2}$ = 5 K + 300 K

$T_{2}$ = 305 K

= (305 K - 273 K)

= $32^{o}C$

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is $32^{o}C$ .

Consider a regenerative gas-turbine power plant with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The overall pressure

iris [78.8K]

Answer: the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Explanation:

from the T-S diagram, we get the overall pressure ratio of the cycle is 9

Calculate the pressure ratio in each stage of compression and expansion. P1/P2 = P4/P3 = √9 = 3

P5/P6 = P7/P8 = √9 =3

get the properties of air from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

At temperature T1 =300K

Specific enthalpy of air h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr1 = 1.3860

At temperature T5 = 1200 K

Specific enthalpy h5 = 1277.79 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr5 = 238

Calculate the relative pressure at state 2

Pr2 = (P2/P1) Pr5

Pr2 =3 x 1.3860 = 4.158

get the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 2 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure pr = 4.153

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 411.12 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 4.522

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 421.26 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 2 by the method of interpolation

(h2 - 411.12) / ( 421.26 - 411.12) =

(4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153 )

h2 - 411.12 = (421.26 - 411.12) ((4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153))

h2 - 411.12 = 0.137

h2 = 411.257kJ/kg

Calculate the relative pressure at state 6.

Pr6 = (P6/P5) Pr5

Pr6 = 1/3 x 238 = 79.33

Obtain the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 6 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure Pr = 75.29

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 932.93 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 82.05

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 955.38 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 6 by the method of interpolation.

(h6 - 932.93) / ( 955.38 - 932.93) =

(79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

(h6 - 932.93) = ( 955.38 - 932.93) ((79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

h6 - 932.93 = 13.427

h6 = 946.357 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work input of the first and second stage compressors

(Wcomp)in = 2(h2 - h1 ) = 2( 411.257 - 300.19 )

= 222.134 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work output of the first and second stage turbines.

(Wturb)out = 2(h5 - h6) = 2( 1277.79 - 946.357 )

= 662.866 kJ/kg

Calculate the net work done

Wnet = (Wturb)out - (Wcomp)in

= 662.866 - 222.134

= 440.732 kJ/kg

Calculate the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW

W = m × Wnet

(105 x 10³) kW = m(440.732 kJ/kg)

m = (105 x 10³) / 440.732

m = 238.2 kg/s

therefore the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s
