Someone has suggested that the air-standard Otto cycle is more accurate if the two polytropic processes are replaced with isentr
omeli [17]

Answer:

q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

n = 0.481

Explanation:

Given:

- The compression ratio r = 8

- The pressure at state 1, P_1 = 95 KPa

- The minimum temperature at state 1, T_L = 15 C

- The maximum temperature T_H = 900 C

- Poly tropic index n = 1.3

Find:

a) Determine the heat transferred to and rejected from this cycle

b) cycle’s thermal efficiency

Solution:

- For process 1-2, heat is rejected to sink throughout. The Amount of heat rejected q_1,2, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

                                   W_out - Q_out = Δ u_1,2

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

                         c_v*(T_2 - T_L) = R*(T_2 - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

                  c_v*(T_L*r^(n-1) - T_L) = R*(T_1*r^(n-1) - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Hence, we have:

                             q_1,2 = T_L *(r^(n-1) - 1)* ( (R/n-1) - c_v)

- Plug in the values:

                             q_1,2 = 288 *(8^(1.3-1) - 1)* ( (0.287/1.3-1) - 0.718)

                            q_1,2= 60 KJ/kg

- For process 2-3, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

                                          Q_in = Δ u_2,3

                                         q_2,3 = u_3 - u_2

                                         q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_2)  

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

                                         q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_L*r^(n-1) )    

                                         q_2,3 = 0.718*(1173-288*8(1.3-1) )

                                        q_2,3 = 456 KJ/kg

- For process 3-4, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

                                     q_3,4 - w_in = Δ u_3,4

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

                           c_v*(T_4 - T_H) = - R*(T_4 - T_H)/1-n +  q_3,4

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

                  c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H) = -R*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H)/n-1 + q_3,4

- Hence, we have:

                             q_3,4 = T_H *(r^(1-n) - 1)* ( (R/1-n) + c_v)

- Plug in the values:

                             q_3,4 = 1173 *(8^(1-1.3) - 1)* ( (0.287/1-1.3) - 0.718)

                            q_3,4= 129.8 KJ/kg

- For process 4-1, heat is lost from the system. The Amount of heat rejected q_4,1, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

                                          Q_out = Δ u_4,1

                                         q_4,1 = u_4 - u_1

                                         q_4,1 = c_v*(T_4 - T_L)  

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

                                         q_4,1 = c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_L )    

                                         q_4,1 = 0.718*(1173*8^(1-1.3) - 288 )

                                        q_4,1 = 244 KJ/kg

- The net gain in heat can be determined from process q_3,4 & q_2,3:

                                         q_net,in = q_3,4+q_2,3

                                         q_net,in = 129.8+456

                                         q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

- The net loss of heat can be determined from process q_1,2 & q_4,1:

                                         q_net,out = q_4,1+q_1,2

                                         q_net,out = 244+60

                                         q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

- The thermal Efficiency of a Otto Cycle can be calculated:

                                         n = 1 - q_net,out / q_net,in

                                         n = 1 - 304/585.8

                                         n = 0.481

A hypothetical metal alloy has a grain diameter of 2.4 × 10−2 mm. After a heat treatment at 575°C for 500 min, the grain diamete
Alex

Answer:

The time required is 10.078 hours or 605 min

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t

where t is time in hours

d is grain diameter to be achieved after heating in mm

d₀ is the grain diameter before heating in mm

Given

d=5.5 × 10^-2 mm

d₀=2.4 × 10^-2 mm

t₁= 500 min = 500/60 =25/3 hrs

t₂=?

n=2.2

First find K

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t₁

K={ (5.1 × 10^-2 mm)²-(2.4 × 10−2 mm)² }/ 25/3

K=(0.051²-0.024²) ÷25/2

K=0.000243 mm²/h

Re-arrange equation for K ,to get the equation for d as;

d=√(d₀²+ Kt)  where now t=t₂

d=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243*t} \\\\0.055=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243t} \\\\0.055^2=0.024^2+0.000243t\\\\0.055^2-0.024^2=0.000243t\\\\0.002449=0.000243t\\\\0.002449/0.000243=t\\\\10.078=t\\\\t=605min
