A client wants Mila’s team to maximize the energy efficiency of their new office building. The client is interested in acquiring

a large plot of land for the new building in a suburban area north of a major city. From the city, the main access to this area is by a couple of major roads that have heavy traffic at almost all times of day. The client’s current building is easier to access and large enough for projected staffing needs, but it is also old, ugly, and high in maintenance costs. How should Mila’s team best approach this project while adhering to principles of green building?
Agree to build on the land the client is interested in acquiring and concentrate on maximizing the efficiency advantages of the new building.

Persuade the client to tear down the existing building instead and build a new high-efficiency building from the ground up in the same spot.

Persuade the client to renovate their existing building both aesthetically and in terms of efficiency and utility of function.

Find a different location for the new building in a more advantageous spot both in terms of transportation access but also in taking advantage of daylighting.

Answer:

Persuade the client to renovate their existing building both aesthetically and in terms of efficiency and utility of function.

Explanation:

Just would not make sense to tear the building down just to rebuild it when it can be restored.

For methyl chloride at 100°C the second and third virial coefficients are: B = −242.5 cm 3 ·mol −1 C = 25,200 cm 6 ·mol −2 Calcu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

a)W=12.62 kJ/mol

b)W=12.59 kJ/mol

Explanation:

At T = 100 °C the second and third virial coefficients are

B = -242.5 cm^3 mol^-1

C = 25200 cm^6  mo1^-2

Now according isothermal work of one mole methyl gas is

W=-\int\limits^a_b {P} \, dV

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

from virial equation  

\frac{PV}{RT}=z=1+\frac{B}{V}+\frac{C}{V^2}\\   \\P=RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2})\frac{1}{V}\\

And  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V}  } \, dV

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

Now calculate V1 and V2 at given condition

\frac{P1V1}{RT} = 1+\frac{B}{v_1} +\frac{C}{v_1^2}

Substitute given values P_1\\ = 1 x 10^5 , T = 373.15 and given values of coefficients we get  

10^5(v_1)/8.314*373.15=1-242.5/v_1+25200/v_1^2

Solve for V1 by iterative or alternative cubic equation solver we get

v_1=30780 cm^3/mol

Similarly solve for state 2 at P2 = 50 bar we get  

v_1=241.33 cm^3/mol

Now  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {RT(1+\frac{B}{V} +\frac{C}{V^2}\frac{1}{V}  } \, dV

a=241.33

b=30780

After performing integration we get work done on the system is  

W=12.62 kJ/mol

(b) for Z = 1 + B' P +C' P^2 = PV/RT by performing differential we get  

         dV=RT(-1/p^2+0+C')dP

Hence work done on the system is  

W=-\int\limits^a_b {P(RT(-1/p^2+0+C')} \, dP

a=v_2\\

b=v_1

by substituting given limit and P = 1 bar , P2 = 50 bar and T = 373 K we get work  

W=12.59 kJ/mol

The work by differ between a and b because the conversion of constant of virial coefficients are valid only for infinite series

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}

tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}

tan\phi= 0.05797

For small angle of \phi, tan\phi can take as\phi.

\phi = 0.05797 rad.

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

-  The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

-  The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

                                        E_6 + E_2 = E_3

               flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

                                    y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

                                  y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y:                          y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

                             q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

                    q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b:               q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

                                       q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

                                 q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c:               q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

                                     w_net = q_b - q_c

                                w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

                                    w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

                                     flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m)          flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

                                     u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

                                     u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

                                     u = 44.48 %
