simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycl

e are 295 and 1240 K. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 83 percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, determine (a) the air temperature at the turbine exit, (b) the net work output, and (c) the thermal efficiency.

Answer:

a) 764.45K

b) 210.48 kJ/kg

c) 30.14%

Explanation:

pressure ratio = 10

minimum temperature = 295 k

maximum temperature = 1240 k

isentropic efficiency for compressor = 83%

Isentropic efficiency for turbine = 87%

<u>a) Air temperature at turbine exit </u>

we can achieve this by interpolating for enthalpy

h4 = 783.05 kJ/kg ( calculated in the background ) at state 4 using Table A-17 for Ideal gas properties of air

T4 ( temperature at Turbine exit ) = 760 + ( 780 - 760 ) $(\frac{783.05-778.18}{800.13-778.18} )$ = 764.45K

<u>b) The net work output </u>

first we determine the actual work input to compressor

Wc = h2 - h1 ( calculated values )

= 626.57 - 295.17 = 331.4 kJ/kg

next determine the actual work done by Turbine

Wt = h3 - h4 ( calculated values )

= 1324.93 - 783.05 = 541.88 kJ/kg

finally determine the network output of the cycle

Wnet = Wt - Wc

= 541.88 - 331.4 = 210.48 kJ/kg

<u>c) determine thermal efficiency </u>

лth = Wnet / qin ------ ( 1 )

where ; qin = h3 - h2

<em>equation 1 becomes </em>

лth = Wnet / ( h3 - h2 )

= 210.48 / ( 1324.93 - 626.57 )

= 0.3014 = 30.14%

A venturi meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. From spac

Answer:

Throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Explanation:

Bore diameter $d_1=63mm$ ⇒ $A_1=3.09\times 10^{-3} m^2$

Manometric deflection x=235 mm

Flow rate Q=240 Lt/min⇒ Q=.004 $\frac{m^3}{s}$

Coefficient of discharge $C_d$ =0.8

We know that discharge through venturi meter

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$h=x(\dfrac{S_m}{S_w}-1)$

$S_m$ =13.6 for Hg and $S_w$ =1 for water.

$h=0.235(\dfrac{13.6}{1}-1)$

h=2.961 m

Now by putting the all value in

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$0.004=0.8\times \dfrac{3.09\times 10^{-3} A_2\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.961}}{\sqrt{(3.09\times 10^{-3})^2-A_2^2}}$

$A_2=6.42\times 10^{-4} m^2$

⇒ $d_2$ =28.60 mm

So throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Ordan has _ 5 8 can of green paint and _ 3 6 can of blue paint. If the cans are the same size, does Jordan have more green paint

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Jordan has more green paints

Explanation:

Given

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

$Green = \frac{5}{8}$

$Green = 0.625$

For the blue paint:

$Blue = \frac{3}{6}$

$Blue = 0.5$

By comparison:

$0.625 > 0.5$

<em>This means that Jordan has more green paints</em>

Tech A says you can find the typical angle of a V-block engine by dividing the number of cylinders by 720

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Tech A is right as its V- angle is identified by splitting the No by 720 °. Of the piston at the edge of the piston.

Tech B is incorrect, as the V-Angle will be 720/10 = 72 for the V-10 motor, and he says 60 °.

The nuclear reactions resulting from thermal neutron absorption in boron and cadmium are 10B5 + 1 n0 ï 7Li3 + 4He2 113Cd48 + 1

kirill115 [55]

Solution :

The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :

$^{10}\textrm{B}_5 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{7}\textrm{Li}_3 + ^{4}\textrm{He}_2$

And the reaction for Cadmium is :

$^{113}\textrm{Cd}_48 + ^{1}\textrm{n}_0 \rightarrow ^{114}\textrm{Cd}_48 + \gamma [5 \ \textrm{MeV}]$

We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
