Answer:

Rainfall intensity is defined as the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period It is expressed in depth units per unit time, usually as mm per hour (mm/h).

A hemispherical shell with an external diameter of 500 mm and a thickness of 20 mm is going to be made by casting, located entir

Olenka [21]

Solution :

Given :

External diameter of the hemispherical shell, D = 500 mm

Thickness, t = 20 mm

Internal diameter, d = D - 2t

= 500 - 2(20)

= 460 mm

So, internal radius, r = 230 mm

= 0.23 m

Density of molten metal, ρ = $7.2 \ g/cm^3$

= $7200 \ kg/m^3$

The height of pouring cavity above parting surface is h = 300 mm

= 0.3 m

So, the metallostatic thrust on the upper mold at the end of casting is :

$F=\rho g A h$

Area, A $=2 \pi r^2$

$=2 \pi (0.23)^2$

$=0.3324 \ m^2$

$F=\rho g A h$

$=7200 \times 9.81 \times 0.3324 \times 0.3$

= 7043.42 N

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The cycle operates on the simple Rankine cycl

bogdanovich [222]

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 ( $c_{geo}$ [) 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

P $P_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The isentropic efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4} }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }$

= $=\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788$

b. Pump

$h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} = \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1}) }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\ = 273.01+5.81\\ = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.} (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\$

$W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.} w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.} _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.} _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\$
