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 3-in-thick slab is 10 in wide and 15 ft long. The thickness of the slab is reduced by 20% and width increases by 3% in a hot-r
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: l = 2142.8575 ft

v = 193.99 ft/min.

Explanation:

Given data:

Thickness of the slab = 3in

Length of the slab = 15ft

Width of the slab = 10in

Speed of the slab = 40ft/min

Solution:

a. After three phase

three phase = (0.2)(0.2)(0.2)(3.0)

= 0.024in.

wf = (1.03)(1.03)(1.03)(10.0)

= 10.927 in.

Using constant volume formula

= (3.0)(10.0)(15 x 15) = (0.024)(10.927)Lf

Lf = (3.0)(10.0)(15 x 15)/(0.024)(10.927)

= 6750 /0.2625

= 25714.28in = 2142.8575 ft

b.

vf = (0.2 x 0.2 x 3.0)(1.03 x 1.03 x 10.0)(40)/(0.024)(10.927)

= (0.12)(424.36)/0.2625

= 50.9232/0.2625

= 193.99 ft/min.

sammy [17]

True, the Engineering controls are the physical changes that employers make to the work environment or to equipment that make it safer to use.  

Explanation

Engineering controls are those techniques used to reduce or eliminate hazards of any condition, thereby protecting the workers.

These are mostly products that act as barriers between the worker and the hazard.

This may include machinery or equipment.

The common engineering controls used are glovebox, biosafety cabinet, fume hood, vented balance safety enclosure, HVAC system, lockout-tagout, sticky mat and rupture disc.

At what voltage would a () capacitor have the minimum energy to raise by ignoring all losses in the system? If needed, you may a
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

V = 280.15 V

Explanation:

" The complete question is attached with figure"

Given:

- The capacitance of the capacitor C = 10 nF

- The amount of mass attached to motor m = 4 grams

- The amount of distance it is to be lifted h = 1 cm

- Ignore all other losses in the system

Find:

- The voltage required to lift the mass m through distance h?

Solution:

- The conservation of energy for the entire system is written as:

                            Work_gravity = U_c

Where,

           Work_gravity: Work done by gravity on mass m

           U_c: The amount of energy stored in a capacitor

                             m*g*h = 0.5*C*V^2

                             V^2 = 2*m*g*h / C

                             V = sqrt ( 2*m*g*h / C )

Plug in the values:

                             V = sqrt ( 2*0.004*9.81*0.01 / 10*10^-9 )

                             V = sqrt ( 78,480)

                             V = 28.15 V
