Answer:
a) 5.2 kPa
b) 49.3%
Explanation:
Given data:
Thermal efficiency ( л ) = 56.9% = 0.569
minimum pressure ( P1 ) = 100 kpa
<u>a) Determine the pressure at inlet to expansion process</u>
P2 = ?
r = 1.4
efficiency = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)
]
0.569 = 1 - [ 1 / (rp)^0.4/1.4
1 - 0.569 = 1 / (rp)^0.285
∴ (rp)^0.285 = 0.431
rp = 0.0522
note : rp = P2 / P1
therefore P2 = rp * P1 = 0.0522 * 100 kpa
= 5.2 kPa
b) Thermal efficiency
Л = 1 - [ 1 / ( 10.9 )^0.285 ]
= 0.493 = 49.3%
Answer:
The work of the cycle.
Explanation:
The area enclosed by the cycle of the Pressure-Volume diagram of a Carnot engine represents the net work performed by the cycle.
The expansions yield work, and this is represented by the area under the curve all the way to the p=0 line. But the compressions consume work (or add negative work) and this is substracted fro the total work. Therefore the areas under the compressions are eliminated and you are left with only the enclosed area.
Answer:
It would take approximately 305 s to go to 99% completion
Explanation:
Given that:
y = 50% = 0.5
n = 1.7
t = 100 s
We need to first find the parameter k from the equation below.

taking the natural logarithm of both sides:

Substituting values:

Also
![t^n=-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}\\t=\sqrt[n]{-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%5En%3D-%5Cfrac%7Bln%281-y%29%7D%7Bk%7D%5C%5Ct%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B-%5Cfrac%7Bln%281-y%29%7D%7Bk%7D%7D)
Substituting values and y = 99% = 0.99
![t=\sqrt[n]{-\frac{ln(1-y)}{k}}=\sqrt[1.7]{-\frac{ln(1-0.99)}{2.76*10^{-4}}}=304.6s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B-%5Cfrac%7Bln%281-y%29%7D%7Bk%7D%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B1.7%5D%7B-%5Cfrac%7Bln%281-0.99%29%7D%7B2.76%2A10%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%7D%3D304.6s)
∴ t ≅ 305 s
It would take approximately 305 s to go to 99% completion
Answer:
The total number of people whom have made machines is not a recorded figure? Need to be more specific :/
Explanation:
Sorry not very helpful, your question is REALLY broad
