The distribution of ground shaking around the fault

1 answer:

6 0

Ground shaking is a term used to describe the vibration of the ground during an earthquake. Ground shaking is caused by body waves and surface waves. As a generalization, the severity of ground shaking increases as magnitude increases and decreases as distance from the causative fault increases.

And fromn first law of thermodynamic

Q12-W12 = -4014.26

Mol

F'or step 23 Isochoric: AV = 0 Since volume change is zero W23= 0 and

Alls = Cp(L3-12)=5 x 8.311 (569.5 - 300) = 7812.18-

AU23= C (13-72) =5 x 8.314 (569.3 - 300) = 5601.53

Now from first law of thermodynamic the Q23

For step 3-1 Adiabatic: Since in this process no heat transfer occur Q31= 0

and

You are evaluating the lifetime of a turbine blade. The blade is 4 cm long and there is a gap of 0.16 cm between the tip of the

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given conditions

1)The stress on the blade is 100 MPa

2)The yield strength of the blade is 175 MPa

3)The Young’s modulus for the blade is 50 GPa

4)The strain contributed by the primary creep regime (not including the initial elastic strain) was 0.25 % or 0.0025 strain, and this strain was realized in the first 4 hours.

5)The temperature of the blade is 800°C.

6)The formula for the creep rate in the steady-state regime is dε /dt = 1 x 10-5 σ4 exp (-2 eV/kT)

where: dε /dt is in cm/cm-hr σ is in MPa T is in Kelvink = 8.62 x 10-5 eV/K

Young Modulus, E = Stress, $\sigma$ /Strain, ∈

initial Strain, $\epsilon_i = \frac{\sigma}{E}$

$\epsilon_i = \frac{100\times 10^{6} Pa}{50\times 10^{9} Pa}$

$\epsilon_i = 0.002$

creep rate in the steady state

$\frac{\delta \epsilon}{\delta t} = (1 \times {10}^{-5})\sigma^4 exp^(\frac{-2eV}{kT} )$

$\frac{\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}}{t_{initial}-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}exp(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )(800+273)K} )$

but Tinitial = 0

$\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}} = 0.002 - 0.003 = -0.001$

$\frac{-0.001}{-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}\times 10^{(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )1073K} )}$

solving the above equation,

we get

Tfinal = 2459.82 hr

Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a) $\dot m = 16.168\,\frac{kg}{s}$ , b) $v_{out} = 680.590\,\frac{m}{s}$ , c) $\dot W_{out} = 18276.307\,kW$

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Mass Balance

$\frac{v_{in}\cdot A_{in}}{\nu_{in}} - \frac{v_{out}\cdot A_{out}}{\nu_{out}} = 0$
