An inventor claims to have devised a cyclical power engine that operates with a fuel whose temperature is 750 °C and radiates wa

ste heat to a sink at 0 °C. He also claims that this engine produces 3.3 kW while rejecting heat at a rate of 4.4 kW. Is this claim valid?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given Data

Temprature of source=750°c=1023k

Temprature of sink =0°c=273k

Work produced=3.3KW

Heat Rejected=4.4KW

Efficiency of heat engine(η)= $\frac{Work produced}{Heat supplied}$

and

Heat Supplied ${\left (Q_s\right)}=Work Produced(W)+Heat rejected\left ( Q_r \right )$

${Q_s}=3.3+4.4=7.7KW$

η= $\frac{3.3}{7.7}$

η=42.85%

Also the maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between two different Tempratures i.e. Source & Sink

η=1- $\frac{T_ {sink}}{T_ {source}}$

η=1- $\frac{273}{1023}$

η=73.31%

Therefore our Engine Efficiency is less than the maximum efficiency hence the given claim is valid.

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) $n = 1000\,users$ , b) $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$ , c) $n = 10000000\,users$ , $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 1000\,users$

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

$l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}$

$l = 1\,km$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 10000000\,users$

The length of each side of the cell is:

$l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}$

$l = 10\,m$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

Answer:

a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%

b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)

Please kindly see explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%

b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)

The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.

Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Please refer to attachment for step by step solution of the question.
