A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined
Assumptions :
1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
Properties: The specific heat of geothermal water ( 
[) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.
Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.
a. Turbine

Answer:
5984.67N
Explanation:
A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?
from continuity equation
v1A1=v2A2
equation of continuity
v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s
d1=14 inch=.35m
d2=14-2=0.304m
A1=pi*d^2/4
0.096m^2
a2=0.0706m^2
from continuity once again
1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)
v2=1.65
force on the pipe
(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)
from bernoulli
p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2
difference in pressure or pressure drop
p1-p2=2psi
13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2
rho=21.91kg/m^3
since the pipe is cylindrical
pressure is egh
13.789=21.91*9.81*h
length of the pipe is
0.064m
AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)
the mass =rho*A*H
0.064*0.07*21.91
m=0.098kg
(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)
force =5984.67N
Answer:
D. a triangle and a T-Square
Explanation:
A T-Square is the best drawing tool to create squares. You would need a squares to create cubes.
