Assuming air can be treated as an ideal gas and has variable specific heat. a) Determine the specific work output of the actual turbine (Btu/lbm). b) Determine the amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process (Btu/lbm R). c) Determine the isentropic efficiency of this turbine (%).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) specific work output of the actual turbine is 73.14 Btu/lbm

b) the amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process is 0.050416 Btu/lbm°R

c) Isentropic efficiency of the turbine is  70.76%

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

For an adiabatic turbine; heat loss Q = 0

For Initial State;

p₁ = 120 psia

T₁ = 500°F = 959.67°R

from table; { Gas Properties of Air }

At T₁ = 959.67°R

[tex]s_1^0[/tex] = 0.74102 Btu/lbm°R

[tex]h_1[/tex] = 230.98 Btu/lbm

For Finial state;

p₂ = 15 psia

T₂ = 200°F = 659.67°R

[tex]s^0_{2a[/tex] = 0.64889 Btu/lbm°R

[tex]h_{2a[/tex] = 157.84 Btu/lbm

we know that R for air is 0.06855 Btu/lbm.R

a)

The specific work output of the actual turbine Wₐ is;

W[tex]_a[/tex] = [tex]h_1[/tex]  - [tex]h_{2a[/tex]

we substitute

W[tex]_a[/tex] = 230.98 - 157.84

W[tex]_a[/tex] = 73.14 Btu/lbm

Therefore, specific work output of the actual turbine is 73.14 Btu/lbm

b)

amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process.

To determine the entropy generation [tex]S_{gen[/tex];

[tex]S_{gen[/tex] = ΔS = [tex]s_{2a[/tex] - [tex]s_1[/tex] =  [tex]s^0_{2a[/tex]  - [tex]s_1^0[/tex] - R ln([tex]\frac{p_2}{p_1}[/tex])

we substitute in our values

[tex]S_{gen[/tex] = 0.64889 - 0.74102 - 0.06855 ln([tex]\frac{15}{120}[/tex])

[tex]S_{gen[/tex] = 0.64889 - 0.74102 + 0.1425457

[tex]S_{gen[/tex] = 0.050416 Btu/lbm°R

Therefore, the amount of specific entropy generation during the irreversible process is 0.050416 Btu/lbm°R

c)

Isentropic efficiency of turbine η[tex]_{is[/tex]

η[tex]_{is[/tex] = {actual work output] / [ ideal work output ] = ([tex]h_1[/tex]  - [tex]h_{2a[/tex] ) / ( [tex]h_1[/tex]  - [tex]h_{2s[/tex] )

Now, for an ideal turbine;

ΔS = 0 = [tex]s_{2s[/tex] - [tex]s_1[/tex]

so, [tex]s_{2s[/tex] - s₁  = [tex]s^0_{2s[/tex] - [tex]s_1^0[/tex] - R ln([tex]\frac{p_2}{p_1}[/tex])

0 =  [tex]s^0_{2s[/tex] - [tex]s_1^0[/tex] - R ln([tex]\frac{p_2}{p_1}[/tex])

[tex]s^0_{2s[/tex]  = [tex]s_1^0[/tex] + R ln([tex]\frac{p_2}{p_1}[/tex])

we substitute

[tex]s^0_{2s[/tex]  = 0.74102 + 0.06855 ln([tex]\frac{15}{120}[/tex])

[tex]s^0_{2s[/tex]  = 0.74102 - 0.1425457

[tex]s^0_{2s[/tex]  = 0.59847 Btu/lbm°R

Now, from table; { Gas Properties of Air }

At [tex]s^0_{2s[/tex]  = 0.59847 Btu/lbm°R; [tex]h_{2s[/tex]  = 127.614 Btu/lbm

η[tex]_{is[/tex]  = [( [tex]h_1[/tex]  - [tex]h_{2a[/tex] ) / ( [tex]h_1[/tex]  - [tex]h_{2s[/tex]  )] × 100%

we substitute

η[tex]_{is[/tex]  = [( 230.98 - 157.84 ) / ( 230.98 - 127.614 )] × 100%

η[tex]_{is[/tex]  = [ 73.14 / 103.366] × 100%

η[tex]_{is[/tex]  = 0.70758 × 100%

η[tex]_{is[/tex]  = 70.76%

Therefore, Isentropic efficiency of the turbine is  70.76%

Answers

Answer: hello your question lacks some data below is the missing data

Air at 32C has H = 0.204 kJ/mol and at 50C has H = -0.576 kJ/mol

H of steam can be found on the steam tables – vapor at 32C and 1 atm; vapor at 5C and liquid at 5C. Assume the volume of the humid air follows the ideal gas law.

H of water liquid at 5C = 21 kJ/kg; vapor at 5C = 2510.8 kJ/kg; H of water vapor at 32C = 2560.0 kJ/kg

Answer :

a) 34.98 lit/min

b) 1432.53 m^3/min

Explanation:

a) Calculate how much water is produced

density of water = 1 kg/liter

First we will determine the mass of condensed water using the relation below

inlet mass - outlet vapor mass =  0.0339508 * n * 18/1000 ----- ( 1 )

where : n = 57241.57

hence equation 1 = 34.98 Kg/min

∴ volume of water produced =  mass of condensed water / density of water

                                                =  34.98 Kg/min / 1 kg/liter

                                                = 34.98 lit/min

b) calculate the Volumetric flow rate of air entering the unit

applying the relation below

Pv = nRT

101325 *V = 57241.57 * 8.314 * 305  

∴ V = 1432.53 m^3/min

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

Slopes : B = 180 mm , C = 373 mm

Deflection: B = 0.0514 rad ,  C = 0.077 rad

Explanation:

Given data :

I = 500(10^6) mm^4

E = 70 GPa

The M / EI  diagram is attached below

Deflection angle at B

∅B = ∅BA = [ 150 (6) + 1/2 (300)*6 ] / EI

                 = 1800 / ( 500 * 70 ) = 0.0514 rad

slope at B

ΔB = ΔBA = [ 150(6)*3 + 1/2 (300)*6*4 ] / EI

                 = 6300 / ( 500 * 70 ) = 0.18 m = 180 mm

Deflection angle at C

∅C = ∅CA = [ 1800 + 300*3 ] / EI

                 = 2700 / ( 500 * 70 )

                 = 2700 / 35000 = 0.077 rad

Slope at C

ΔC = [ 150 * 6 * 6 + 1/2 (800)*6*7 + 300(3) *1.5 ]

     = 13050 / 35000 = 373 mm

Answers

Complete question:

If it took a 30m³ capacity tank mediated by 2cm waterproof water faucet for 10 hours, calculate the flow speed (exit) of water from the tank.

Answer:

the flow rate of the water from the tank is 0.05 m³/min

Explanation:

Given;

volume of water in the tank, v = 30 m³

length of the waterproof faucet, L = 2cm = 0.02 m

duration of water flow through the tank, t = 10 hours

The flow rate of the water from the tank is calculated as;

[tex]Q = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{30 \ m^3}{10\ h \ \times \ 60 \min} = 0.05 \ m^3/ \min[/tex]

Therefore, the flow rate of the water from the tank is 0.05 m³/min

Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts). Can this problem be

Answers

Answer:

the surface temperature of the plates when they come out of the oven is approximately 445 °C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

thickness t = 3 cm = 0.03 m

so half of the thickness L = 0.015 m

thermal conductivity of brass k = 110 W/m°C

Density p = 8530 kg/m³

specific heat [tex]C_p[/tex] = 380 J/kg°C

thermal diffusivity of brass ∝ = 33.9 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

Temperature of oven T₀₀ = 700°C

initial temperature T[tex]_i[/tex] = 25°C

time t = 10 min = 600 s

convection heat transfer coefficient h = 80 W/m².K

Since the plate is large compared to its thickness, the heat conduction is one dimensional. heat transfer coefficient and thermal properties are constant over the entire surface.

So, using analytical one-term approximation method, the Fourier number > 0.2.

now, we determine the Biot number for the process

we know that; Biot number Bi =  hL / k

so we substitute

Bi =  hL / k

Bi = (80 × 0.015) / 110 = 1.2 / 110 = 0.0109

Now, we get the constants λ₁ and A₁ corresponding to Biot Number ( 0.0109 )

The interpolation method used to find the

λ₁ = 0.1039 and A₁ = 1.0018

so

The Fourier number т = ∝t/L²

we substitute

Fourier number т = ( (33.9 × 10⁻⁶)(600) ) / (0.015)²

т = 0.02034 / 0.000225

т = 90.4

As we can see; 90.4 > 0.2

So,  analytical one-term approximation can be used.

∴ Temperature at the surface will be;

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = (T(x,t) - T₀₀) / (T[tex]_i[/tex] - T₀₀) ----- let this be equation

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = [A₁e^(-λ₁²т)]cos( λ₁L / L )

so we substitute

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = [1.0018e^(- (0.1039)²× 90.4 )] cos( 0.1039 × 0.015 / 0.015 )

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = [1.0018e^(- 0.975886984 )] cos( 0.1039 )

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = [1.0018 × 0.376857938] × 0.999998

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = 0.3775

so we substitute into equation 1

θ(L,t)[tex]_{wall[/tex] = (T(L,t) - T₀₀) / (T[tex]_i[/tex] - T₀₀)

0.3775 = ( T(L,t) - 700 ) / ( 25 - 700 )

0.3775 = ( T(L,t) - 700 ) / ( - 675 )

0.3775 × ( - 675 ) = ( T(L,t) - 700 )

- 254.8125 = T(L,t) - 700

T(L,t) = 700 - 254.8125

T(L,t) = 445.1875 °C ≈ 445 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the plates when they come out of the oven is approximately 445 °C

You are designing a package for 200 g of snack food that is sensitive to oxygen, and fails when it absorbs 120 ppm of oxygen (by weight). Marketing tells you it wants the snack to be in a plastic pouch measuring 6 inches by 6 inches (ignore seems), so it will have a total surface area available for permeation of 72 in(6" x 6" x 2 sides). You need to recommend an appropriate plastic material for this product, to provide a minimum of 70 days shelf life. Follow these steps:
a. Calculate the allowable oxygen gain, in cm at STP. (5 pts)
b. At this point, you do not know the material you will use, so you do not know the permeability coefficient or the thickness. The better the barrier the plastic you choose, the thinner the material can be to provide the appropriate barrier. Rather than simple trial and error, a sensible approach is to solve for the ratio of P/L that is required. We can solve the basic permeability equation for this ratio: P = 9 At Ap L Use the information you have to determine the required value for P/L, expressing your answer in cm/(100 in? d atm). (5 pts)
c. Use the information in the textbook (chapters 4 and 14 or in another reliable source; provide reference if you have used chapter 4, 14 or any other source) on oxygen permeability coefficients for various polymers to select a polymer that would be suitable, and calculate the required thickness. (Be sure this is reasonable; for example, if the required thickness is more than 20 mils, you need to choose a different polymer!) Note that chapter 4 presents these values in the units you used in (b) while chapter 14 presents values with different units, so unit conversion would be required. In your answer, state the material you have chosen, its oxygen permeability coefficient, and the minimum thickness you recommend. (Be sure to express the thickness with no more than one decimal place.) Obviously, there is more than one solution to this problem, but you only need one. (10 pts)

) A flow is divided into two branches, with the pipe diameter and length the same for each branch. A 1/4-open gate valve is installed in line A, and a 1/3-closed ball valve is installed in line B. The head loss due to friction in each branch is negligible compared with the head loss across the valves. Find the ratio of the velocity in line A to that in line B (include elbow losses for threaded pipe fittings).

Answers

Answer:

Va / Vb = 0.5934

Explanation:

First step is to determine total head losses at each pipe

at Pipe A

For 1/4 open gate valve head loss = 17 *Va^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 Va^2 / 2g

at Pipe B

For 1/3 closed ball valve head loss = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g

elbow loss = 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

Given that both pipes are parallel

17 *Va^2/2g +  0.75*Va^2 / 2g = 5.5 *Vb^2 / 2g  + 0.75 * Vb^2 / 2g

∴ Va / Vb = 0.5934
