A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage

at 12 MPa, 5608C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the cycle is 330 MW. For isentropic processes in the turbines and pumps.
Determine:
a. the cycle thermal efficiency.
b. the mass flow rate into the first turbine stage, in kg/s.
c. the rate of entropy production in the open feedwater heater, in kW/K.

While discussing what affects the amount of pressure exerted by the brakes: Technician A says that the shorter the line, the mor
harina [27]

Answer:

Only Technician B is right.

Explanation:

The cylindrical braking system for a car works through the mode of pressure transmission, that is, the pressure applied to the brake pedals, is transmitted to the brake pad through the cylindrical piston.

Pressure applied on the pedal, P(pedal) = P(pad)

And the Pressure is the applied force/area for either pad or pedal. That is, P(pad) = Force(pad)/A(pad) & P(pedal) = F(pedal)/A(pedal)

If the area of piston increases, A(pad) increases and the P(pad) drops, Meaning, the pressure transmitted to the pad reduces. And for most cars, there's a pressure limit for the braking system to work.

If the A(pad) increases, P(pad) decreases and the braking force applied has to increase, to counter balance the dropping pressure and raise it.

This whole setup does not depend on the length of the braking lines; it only depends on the applied force and cross sectional Area (size) of the piston.

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.    

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

V = A*t

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}    

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g

Finally, with the Avogadros number (N_{A}) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms    

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

A cylinder with a frictionless piston contains 0.05 m3 of air at 60kPa. The linear spring holding the piston is in tension. The
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

18 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of air = 0.05 m³

Initial pressure = 60 kPa

Final volume = 0.2 m³

Final pressure = 180 kPa

Now,

the Work done by air will be calculated as:

Work Done = Average pressure × Change in volume

thus,

Average pressure = \frac{60+180}{2}  = 120 kPa

and,

Change in volume = Final volume - Initial Volume = 0.2 - 0.05 = 0.15 m³

Therefore,

the work done = 120 × 0.15 = 18 kJ
