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%

The correct statement about the lift and drag on an object is:_______
Lisa [10]

Answer:

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

Explanation:

When a fluid flows around the surface of an object, it exerts a force on it. This force has two components, namely lift and drag.

The component of this force that is perpendicular (normal) to the freestream velocity is known as lift, while the component of this force that is parallel or in the direction of the fluid freestream flow is known as drag.

Lift is as a result of pressure differences, while drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the object surface, and forces due to skin friction or viscous force.

Thus, drag results from the combination of pressure and viscous forces while lift results only from the<em> pressure differences</em> (not pressure forces as was used in option D).

The only correct option left is "A"

(a). the resultant force in the direction of the freestream velocity is termed the drag and the resultant force normal to the freestream velocity is termed the lift

8. Two 40 ft long wires made of differing materials are supported from the ceiling of a testing laboratory. Wire (1) is made of
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Material K has a modulus of elasticity E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material H has a modulus of elasticity E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

Material K has higher value of modulus of elasticity than material H

Material K is stiffer.

Explanation:

Wire 1 material H

Length=L = 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter= 3/8 in = 0.009525 m

Area= A= πr²,where r=0.009525/2 =0.004763

A=3.142*0.004763² =0.00007126 m²

Force, F= 225 lb=  225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.10 in = 0.00254

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E=1001.25*12.192/(0.004763*0.00254)

E= 1009027923.58 Pa

E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

For Wire 2 material K

Length=L= 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter = 3/16 in = 0.1875 in = 0.004763 m

Area= πr² = 3.142 * (0.004763/2)² = 0.00000567154 m²

Force, F= 225 lb=  225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.25 in =0.00635 m

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E= (1001.25*12.192)/(0.00000567154 * 0.00635 )

E=338955422575 Pa

E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material  K has a greater modulus of elasticity

The material with higher value of E is stiffer than that with low value of E.The stiffer material is K.
