Nitrogen (N2) enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state at 1 bar, 378C with a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/h and exi

ts at 10 bar. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. The nitrogen can be modeled as an ideal gas with k 5 1.391. (a) Determine the minimum theoretical power input required, in kW, and the corresponding exit temperature, in 8C. (b) If the exit temperature is 3978C, determine the power input, in kW, and the isentropic compressor efficiency.

Answer:

A)

i) 592.2 k

ii) - 80 kw

B)

i) 105.86 kw

ii) 78%

Explanation:

Note : Nitrogen is modelled as an ideal gas hence R - value = 0.287

<u>A) Determine the minimum theoretical power input required  and exit temp </u>

<em>i) Exit temperature :</em>

\frac{T_{2s} }{T_{1} } = (\frac{P2}{P1} )^{\frac{k-1}{k} }

∴ T_{2s}  = ( 37 + 273 ) * (\frac{10}{1} )^{\frac{1.391-1}{1.391} }  =  592.2 k

i<em>i) Theoretical power input :</em>

W = \frac{-n}{n-1} mR(T_{2} - T_{1} )

where : n = 1.391 , m = 1000/3600 , T2= 592.2 , T1 = 310 , R = 0.287

W = - 80 kW  ( i.e. power supplied to the system )

<u>B) Determine power input and Isentropic compressor efficiency </u>

Given Temperature = 3978C

<em>i) power input to compressor</em>

W = m* \frac{1}{M} ( h2 - h1 )

h2 = 19685 kJ/ kmol ( value gotten from Nitrogen table at temp = 670k )

h1 = 9014 kj/kmol ( value gotten from Nitrogen table at temp = 310 k )

m = 1000/3600 ,  M = 28

input values into equation above

W = 105.86 kw

<em>ii) compressor efficiency </em>

П = ideal work output / actual work output

   = ( h2s - h1 ) / ( h2 - h1 ) = ( T2s - T1 ) / ( T2 - T1 )

  = ( 592.2 - 310 ) / ( 670 - 310 )

  = 0.784 ≈ 78%

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 5 mph. Suppose that the mass density of air is 0.0796 lbm/ft3 and determine t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

Explanation:

Given;

power generation potential (PGP) = 1000 kW

Wind speed = 5 mph = 2.2352 m/s

Density of air = 0.0796 lbm/ft³ = 1.275 kg/m³

Radius of the wind turbine r = ?

Wind energy per unit mass of air, e = E/m = 0.5 v² = (0.5)(2.2352)²

Wind energy per unit mass of air = 2.517 J/kg

PGP = mass flow rate * energy per unit mass

PGP = ρ*A*V*e

PGP = \rho *\frac{\pi r^2}{2} *V*e  \\\\r^2 = \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e} , r=\sqrt{ \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e}} = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10^6}{1.275*\pi *2.235*2.517}}

r = 210.64 m = 691.1 ft

Thus, the radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

PGP = CVᵃ

For best design of wind turbine Betz limit (c) is taken between (0.35 - 0.45)

Let C = 0.4

PGP = Cvᵃ

take log of both sides

ln(PGP) = a*ln(CV)

a = ln(PGP)/ln(CV)

a = ln(1000)/ln(0.4 *2.2352) = 7.73

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

What issues does society try to forget in order to not have to deal with them ?
velikii [3]

Answer: Homelessness, Drug addiction, Mental Illness, Climate change.

Explanation:

Society would rather be ignorant to/ ignore all of these realities so they do not have to stop specific behaviors or actually acknowledge other people and help. Sometimes people are so stressed out about their own lives, they can not bare another persons issues. People are ignorant to climate change because correcting it requires massive changes and society is selfish and unwilling to change.

An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The specific weight of unknown liquid is found to be 15 KN/m³

Explanation:

The total pressure in tank is measured to be 65 KPa in the tank. But, the total pressure will be equal to the sum of pressures due to both oil and unknown liquid.

Total Pressure = Pressure of oil + Pressure of unknown liquid

65 KPa = (Specific Weight of oil)(depth of oil) + (Specific Weight of unknown liquid)(depth of unknown liquid)

65 KN/m² = (8.5 KN/m³)(5 m) + (Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m)

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m) = 65 KN/m² - 42.5 KN/m²

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid) = (22.5 KN/m²)/1.5 m

<u>Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid = 15 KN/m³</u>

A 30 mm thick AISI 1020 steel plate is sandwiched between two 10 mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum plates and compressed with a bolt and
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

275 MPa

Explanation:

Regardless of what it is holding, the stiffness of a bolt depends on its own material properties and geometry.

The stiffness is:

k = E * \frac{A}{l}

I assume this one is made of steel, because regular bolts are steel.

The Young's modulus for steel is E = 210 GPa

The longitude is given. (But note that in a real application you have to consider the length up to the nut.)

The section is (using the nominal diameter of 10 mm)

A = \frac{\pi * d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi * 0.01^2}{4} = 7.85e-5 m^2

Then:

k  = 2.1e11 * \frac{7.85e-5}{0.06} = 275e6 Pa = 275 MPa
