Answer 1

Answer:

a) T_5 = 782.8 K

b)  W_cyc = 108.04 KJ/kg

c) n_th = 22.47 %

d) X_dest = 289.924 KJ/kg , X_exhaust = 126.6768 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given:

- P_2 / P_1 = 7

- T_4 = 1150 K

- T_1 = 310 K

- n_s,comp = 0.75

- n_s,turb = 0.82

- R_air = 0.287 KJ/kg

Find:

- T_5 - Temperature of air at turbine exit ?

- W_cycle ?

- n_th ?

- X_dest , X_exhaust ?

Solution:

Assumptions:

1) The cycle operates at steady-state.  

2) Air is the working fluid and it behaves as an ideal gas.

3) The Brayton Cycle is modeled as as a closed cycle.

4) The combustor is replaced by a HEX. (External Combustion)

5) The compressor and turbine are not internally reversible.

6) Changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible.

7) Air has variable specific heats.

8) The compressor and turbine are adiabatic.

Analysis:

- The efficiency of turbine is given by:

                            n_s,turb = (H_4 - H_5) / (H_4 - H_5,s)

- For H_4 and S_ 4 we have T_4 = 1150 K, use the ideal gas air property table:

          T_4 = 1150 K  -------------> S_4 = 3.129 KJ/kgK   ,  H_4 = 1219.25 KJ/kg

- For H_5s,  the enthalpy of the effluent from a hypothetical isentropic turbine. We can do this because  we know the values of two intensive variables: P_5 and S_5 = S_4. The key to using this information is the 2nd Gibbs equation:

          S_5,s,o = S_4,s,o + R_air*Ln(P_5 / P_4)

          S_5,s,o = 3.129 + 0.287*Ln(1 / 7) = 2.57054 KJ/kgK

- Now use the value S_5,s,o and ideal gas air property table and evaluate:

           S_5,s,o = 2.57054 KJ/kgK ---------> T_5,s = 698.6 K ,

                                                                      H_5s = 711.72 KJ/kg

                                                                     

- Now use the efficiency relation for turbine:

            H_5 =   H_4 - n_s,turb*(H_4 - H_5,s)

            H_5 = 1219.25 - 0.82*(1219.25-711.72)

            H_5 = 803.08 KJ/kg

- Using H_5 and ideal gas air property table and evaluate:

         H_5 = 803.08 KJ/kg -----------> T_5 = 782.8 K , S_5 = 2.6940 KJ/kg-K

- In order to determine the specific shaft work for the cycle, we need to determine the specific shaft work for the compressor  and for the turbine

             W_cyc = W_comp + W_turb

             W_cyc = H_1 - H_2 + H_4 - H_5

- The efficiency of compressor is given by:

                            n_s,comp = (H_1 - H_2,s) / (H_1 - H_2)

- For H_1 and S_ 1 we have T_1 = 310 K, use the ideal gas air property table:

          T_1 = 310 K  -------------> S_1 = 1.73498 KJ/kgK , H_1 = 310.24 KJ/kg

- For H_2s,  the enthalpy of the effluent from a hypothetical isentropic compressor. We can do this because  we know the values of two intensive variables: P_2 and S_2 = S_1. The key to using this information is the 2nd Gibbs equation:

          S_2,s,o = S_1,s,o + R_air*Ln(P_2 / P_1)

          S_2,s,o = 1.73498 + 0.287*Ln(7) = 2.29343 KJ/kgK

- Now use the value S_2,s,o and ideal gas air property table and evaluate:

           S_2,s,o = 2.29343 KJ/kgK ---------> T_2,s = 537.1 K ,

                                                                      H_2s = 541.34 KJ/kg

- Now use the efficiency relation for compressor:

            H_2 =   H_1 - (H_1 - H_2,s)/n_comp

            H_2 = 310.24 - (310.24-541.34)/0.72

            H_2 = 618.37 KJ/kg

Hence,

The work out for the cycle is:

            W_cyc = 310.24 - 618.37 + 1219.25 - 803.08

            W_cyc = 108.04 KJ/kg

- The thermal efficiency of a cycle is:

            n_th = W_cyc / Q_H

            Q_H = H_4 - H_3

- The effectiveness of re-generator is e:

            e = (H_3 - H_2) / (H_5 - H_2)

            H_3 = (H_5 - H_2)*e + H_2

            H_3 = (803.08 - 618.37)*0.7 + 618.37 = 738.43 KJ/kg

Hence,

            Q_H = 1219.25 - 738.43 = 480.81 KJ/kg

Finally,

             n_th = 108.04 / 480.81 = 22.47 %

- The amount of heat loss is given by:

              Q_L = H_6 - H_1

              H_6 = H_5 + H_2 - H_3 = 803.08 + 618.37 - 738.43 = 682.97 KJ/kg

              Q_L = 682.97 - 310.24 = 372.73 KJ/kg

- The amount of exergy destroyed for whole cycle:

              X_dest = T_L * ( Q_L / T_L - Q_H / T_H)

              X_dest = 310 * (372.73 / 310 - 480.81 / 1800)

              X_dest = 289.924 KJ/kg

- The amount of exergy of exhaust gasses:

              X_exhaust = H_6 - H_0 - T_L*(S_6 - S_o )

              X_exhaust = 682.97 - 310.24 - 310*(2.52861 - 1.73489 )

              X_exhaust = 126.6768 KJ/kg

The net potential energy EN between two adjacent ions, is sometimes represented by the expression

EN = -C/r + Dexp (-r/p)

in which r is the interionic separation and C, D, and rho are constants whose values depend on the specific material.

Derive an expression for the bonding energy E0 in terms of the equilibrium interionic separation r0 and the constants D and rho using the following procedure:
1. Differentiate EN with respect to r, and then set the resulting expression equal to zero.
2. Solve for C in terms of D, rho and r0.
3. Determine the expression for E0 by substitution for C in the equation above.
What is the equation that represents the correct expression for E0?

Answers

The expression for the bonding energy E₀ in terms of the equilibrium interionic separation r₀ and the given constants is;

E₀ = rD[(exp(-r₀/ρ) + exp(-r/ρ)] - EN/r₀

Bonding Energy and Net Potential Energy

We are given the expression;

EN = -C/r + Dexp(-r/ρ)

where;

EN is net potential energy

r is the interionic separation

C, D, and rho(ρ) are constants whose values depend on the specific material.

The formula for the bonding energy is usually;

E₀ = -C/r₀ + D exp(-r₀/ρ)

Step 1; We are to differentiate EN with respect to r. Thus, we have;

dEN/dr = C/r² - D exp(-r/p)

Step 2; We are to solve for C in terms of D, rho(ρ) and r₀. Thus;

E₀ + (C/r₀) = -D*exp(-r₀/ρ)

⇒ C/r₀ = -Dexp(-r₀/ρ) - E₀

Thus, multiplying both sides by r₀ gives;

C = -r₀(Dexp(-r₀/ρ) + E₀)

Step 3; We are to determine the expression for E₀ by substitution for C in the equation given. This gives us;

EN = -r₀(Dexp(-r₀/ρ) + E₀)/r + Dexp(-r/ρ)

EN = r₀*D*exp(-r₀/ρ) - (r₀E₀/r) + D*exp(-r/ρ)

EN + (r₀E₀/r) = r₀*D*exp(-r₀/ρ) + D*exp(-r/ρ)

r₀E₀/r = D[(exp(-r₀/ρ) + exp(-r/ρ)] - EN

Thus;  E₀ = rD[(exp(-r₀/ρ) + exp(-r/ρ)] - EN/r₀

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 2 kg of R-134a at 3.5 bar and 100 C. The cylinder is now cooled so that the R-134a is kept at constant pressure until a final state is reached with a quality of 25%. Calculate the heat transfer in the process.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the variables thus

R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane

Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C

Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa

For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m

ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂

For constant pressure process we have

Work done = W = [tex]\int\limits^a_b P \, dV[/tex]  = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

From the tables we have

State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg

State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg

Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ

An engineering student claims that a country road can be safely negotiated at 65 mi/h in rainy weather. Because of the winding nature of the road, one stretch of level pavement has a sight distance of only 510 ft. Assuming practical stopping distance, comment on the student

Answers

Answer:

Negotiated speed should be lower. Perception/reaction time is too less than design values.

Explanation:

Given:

- The claimed safe speed V_1 = 65 mi/h

- Sight distance D = 510 ft

- The practical deceleration a = 11.2 ft/s   ... according to standards

Find:

Assuming practical stopping distance, comment on the student whether the claim is correct or not

Solution:

- Calculate the practical stopping distance:

                      d = V_1^2 / 2*a

                      d = ( 65 * 1.46 )^2 / 2*11.2 = 402.054 ft

- Solve for reaction distance d_r is as follows:

                     d_r = D - d = 510 - 402.054 = 107.945 ft

- The perception/time reaction is:

                   t_r = d_r/V_1 = 107.945 / 94.9

                  t_r = 1.17 sec

Answer: The perception/reaction time t_r = 1.17 s is well below the t = 2.3 s.

Hence, the safe speed should be lower.

Answers

Answer:

As a heating engineer and considering a house as a dynamic system , and that without a heater, the average temperature in the house would vary over a 24-h period.

What might you consider for inputs, outputs, and state variables for a simple dynamic model?

State variables: according to the weather conditions of the area where the house was built:

State variable # 1: minimum temperture during a day in an specific season (*4);

State variable # 2: maximum temperature during the day, in an specific season (*4) as well;

State variable # 3: average temperature during the day in an specific season (*4).

That makes 16 state variables all of them in Centigrade degrees.

Input variables:

# 1: one degree over each of the state variables given.

# 2: one degree below each of the state variables, all of them in Centigrade           degrees.

Output variables:

# 1 are the temperatures reached after adding one degree to each of the input variables.

# 2 are the temperatures reached after decreasing one degree, all of them in Centigrade degrees.

How would you expand your model so that it would predict temperatures in several rooms of the house?

I would add output variables in a "Y" system to predict temperatures in several rooms of the house.

How does the installation of a thermostatically controlled heater change your model?

It would change on the "Y" variables as they will get a control system  designed for sensors to produce from some input variables to make the system respond.

Air is compressed slowly in a piston–cylinder assembly from an initial state where p1 = 1.4 bar, V1 = 4.25 m3 , to a final state where p2 = 6.8 bar. During the process, the relation between pressure and volume follows pV = constan

Answers

The work done by the gas is -940 kJ

Explanation:

In this process, we are told that the product of pressure and volume remains constant:

[tex]pV=const.[/tex]

so we can write

[tex]p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2[/tex]

where

[tex]p_1 = 1.4 bar[/tex] is the initial pressure

[tex]p_2 = 6.8 bar[/tex] is the final pressure

[tex]V_1=4.25 m^2[/tex] is the initial volume

Solving for [tex]V_2[/tex], we find the final volume:

[tex]V_2=\frac{p_1V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(1.4)(4.25)}{6.8}=0.875 m^3[/tex]

Now by looking at the equation of state of an ideal gas:

[tex]pV=nRT[/tex] (1)

we notice that since [tex]pV=const.[/tex], this means that also the absolute temperature of the gas T remains constant (because the number of moles n does not change). Therefore this is an isothermal process: the work done in an isothermal process is given by

[tex]W=nRTln(\frac{V_2}{V_1})[/tex]

And by looking again at (1), we  can substitute (nRT) with (pV), so we get

[tex]W=p_1 V_1 ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})[/tex]

Converting the pressure into SI units,

[tex]p_1 = 1.4 bar = 1.4\cdot 10^5 Pa[/tex]

So the work done is

[tex]W=(1.4\cdot 10^5)(4.25)ln(\frac{0.875}{4.25})=-9.4\cdot 10^5 J[/tex]

Which means -940 kJ. This value is negative since the work is done by the surroundings on the gas (because the gas is compressed).

Answers

Answer:

The fluid level difference in the manometer arm = 22.56 ft.

Explanation:

Assumption: The fluid in the manometer is incompressible, that is, its density is constant.

The fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer gives the gage pressure of the air in the tank.

And P(gage) = ρgh

ρ = density of the manometer fluid = 60 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

ρg = 60 × 32.2 = 1932 lbm/ft²s²

ρg = 1932 lbm/ft²s² × 1lbf.s²/32.2lbm.ft = 60 lbf/ft³

h = fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer = ?

P(gage) = 9.4 psig = 9.4 × 144 = 1353.6 lbf/ft²

1353.6 = ρg × h = 60 lbf/ft³ × h

h = 1353.6/60 = 22.56 ft

A horizontal rigid bar ABC is pinned at end A and supported by two cables at points B and C. A vertical load P 5 10 kN acts at end C of the bar. The two cables are made of steel with a modulus elasticity E 5 200 GPa and have the same cross-sectional area. Calculate the minimum cross-sectional area of each cable if the yield stress of the cable is 400 MPa and the factor of safety is 2.0. Consider load P only; ignore the weight of bar ABC and the cables.

Answers

Final answer:

To determine the minimum cross-sectional area of the steel cables, calculate the allowable stress and use it along with the provided load. The result is a minimum area of 50 mm² for each cable.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the minimum cross-sectional area of each steel cable designed to support a load with a safety factor, given the yield stress of the material. First, determine the allowable stress by dividing the yield stress by the factor of safety. In this case, the allowable stress is 200 MPa (400 MPa / 2.0). To find the minimum cross-sectional area (A), use the formula A = P / σ, where P = 10 kN = 10,000 N (the load) and σ (sigma) is the allowable stress in N/m². Convert 200 MPa to N/m² to get 200,000 N/m². Therefore, the minimum cross-sectional area required for each cable is 50 mm² (10,000 N / 200,000 N/m²).

You are traveling along an interstate highway at 32.0 m/s (about 72 mph) when a truck stops suddenly in front of you. You immediately apply your brakes and cut your speed in half after 6.0 s.(a) What was your acceleration, assuming it was constant?

Answers

Answer:

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Explanation:

u = 32 m/s

The speed after 6 s is half of u

[tex]v= \dfrac{32}{2}=16\ m/s[/tex]

t= 6 s

The average acceleration = a

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

16= 32 + a x 6

[tex]a=\dfrac{16-32}{6}\ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]a=-2.6\ m/s^2[/tex]

Therefore the acceleration will be - 2.6 m/s².

a= - 2.6 m/s².

Negative indicates that velocity and acceleration is is opposite direction.

Question:

A 15 Watt desk-type fluorescent lamp has an effective resistance of 200 ohms when operating (note: the 15 Watts is only associated with the lamp). It is in series with a ballast that has a resistance of 80 ohms and an inductance of .9H. The lamp and ballast are operated at 120V, 60Hz.

a) Draw the circuit

b) Calculate the power drawn by the lamp

c) Calculate the apparent power

d) Calculate the power factor

e) Calculate the reactive power

f) Calculate the size of the capacitor necessary to provide unity power factor correction

Explanation:

a) draw the circuit

Refer to the attached image.

As you can see in the attached drawing, it is a series circuit containing  two resistors and one inductor.

In a series circuit, current remains same throughout the circuit

The circuit is powered by an AC voltage source having voltage of 120 V and frequency 60 Hz.

The current flowing in the circuit can be found by ohm's law

 I = V/Z

where V is the voltage and Z is the total impedance of the circuit

 Z = R + XL

where  XL is the inductive reactance

XL = j2 π f L

XL = j2*π*60*0.9

XL = j339.29Ω

Total resistance is

R =200 + 80 = 280 Ω

Total impedance is

Z = 280 + j339.29 Ω

b) Calculate the power drawn by the lamp

First calculate the current

I = V/Z

I = 120/(280 + j339.29)

I = 0.272<-50.46° A  (complex notation)

P = I²R

P = (0.272)²200

P ≈ 15 W

Power drawn by the circuit

P=V*I*cos(50.46°)

P=20.77 W

c) Calculate the apparent power

A = VI*

A = 120*0.272<50.46°

A = 32.64<50.46° VA

d) Calculate the power factor

PF = cos(50.46)

PF = 0.63

e) Calculate the reactive power

Q = VIsin(50.46)

Q = 120*0.272<-50.46*sin(50.46)

Q = 25.13<-50.46  VAR

f) Calculate the size of the capacitor necessary to provide unity power factor correction

The required reactive compensation power is

Qc = P (tan(old) - tan(new))

Qc = 20.77 (tan(50.46) - tan(0))

Qc = 25.16 VAR

C = Qc/2πfV²

C = 25.16/2*π*60*120²

C = 4.63 uF

Hence adding a capacitor of 4.63 uF parallel to the load will improve the PF from 0.63 to 1.

Explanation:

The diagram and the detailed step by step explanation is as shown in the attachment

Final answer:

In the Scotch-yoke mechanism, if the displacement is given by x = r sin(t), the velocity v = r cos(t) and acceleration a = -r sin(t). The negative sign in acceleration indicates that it is in the opposite direction to displacement.

Explanation:

The Scotch-yoke mechanism which converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion can be analyzed using principles of kinematics. If we have the displacement given by x = r sin(t), the velocity and acceleration can be derived from this displacement equation.

The velocity (v) is the time derivative of the displacement function, i.e., v = dx/dt = r cos(t).

The acceleration (a) is the time derivative of the velocity function, so a = dv/dt = -r sin(t).

The negative sign signifies that acceleration is in the opposite direction to displacement.

A pipe produces successive harmonics at 300 Hz and 350 Hz. Calculate the length of the pipe and state whether it is closed at one end or not. Assume the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

The pipe is open ended and the length of pipe is 3.4 m.

Explanation:

For identification of the type of pipe checking the successive frequencies in both the open pipe and closed pipe as below

Equation for nth frequency for open end pipe is given as

[tex]f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}[/tex]

For (n+1)th value the frequency is

[tex]f_{n+1}=\frac{(n+1)v}{2L}[/tex]

Taking a ratio of both equation and solving for n such that the value of n is a whole number

[tex]\frac{f_{n+1}}{f_n}=\frac{\frac{(n+1)v}{2L}}{\frac{nv}{2L}}\\\frac{350}{300}=\frac{(n+1)}{n}\\350n =300n+300\\50n =300\\n =6\\[/tex]

So n is a whole number this means that the pipe is open ended.

For confirmation the  nth frequency for a closed ended pipe is given as

[tex]f_n=\frac{(2n+1)v}{4L}[/tex]

For (n+1)th value the frequency is

[tex]f_{n+1}=\frac{(2n+3)v}{4L}[/tex]

Taking a ratio of both equation and solving for n such that the value of n is a whole number

[tex]\frac{f_{n+1}}{f_n}=\frac{\frac{(2n+3)v}{2L}}{\frac{(2n+1)v}{2L}}\\\frac{350}{300}=\frac{(2n+3)}{(2n+1)}\\700n+350 =600n+900\\100n =550\\n =5.5\\[/tex]

As n is not a whole number so this is further confirmed that the pipe is open ended.

Now from the equation of, with n=6, v=340 m/s and f=300 Hz

[tex]f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}\\300=\frac{6 \times 340}{2L}\\L=\frac{2040}{600}\\L=3.4 m[/tex]

The value of length is 3.4m.

For flow over a plate, the variation of velocity with vertical distance y from the plate is given as u(y) = ay − by2 where a and b are constants. Choose the correct relation for the wall shear stress in terms of a, b, and μ.

Answers

For flow over a plate, the variation of velocity with vertical distance y from the plate, the correct relation for the wall shear stress is  [tex]\( \tau = \mu (a - 2by) \)[/tex]. The correct option is B.

The wall shear stress ([tex]\( \tau \)[/tex]) for flow over a plate is given by the following relation, assuming the fluid has constant viscosity ([tex]\( \mu \)[/tex]):

[tex]\[ \tau = \mu \frac{du}{dy} \][/tex]

Where:

[tex]\( \mu \)[/tex] = dynamic viscosity of the fluid,

[tex]\( \dfrac{du}{dy} \)[/tex] = rate of change of velocity with respect to the vertical distance (y) from the plate.

In your case, the velocity profile [tex]\( u(y) = ay - by^2 \)[/tex] is given. To find the rate of change of velocity with respect to y, we differentiate [tex]\( u(y) \)[/tex] with respect to y:

[tex]\[ \frac{du}{dy} = a - 2by \][/tex]

Now, substitute this into the formula for wall shear stress:

[tex]\[ \tau = \mu \left( a - 2by \right) \][/tex]

So, the correct relation for the wall shear stress ([tex]\( \tau \)[/tex]) in terms of a, b, and [tex]\( \mu \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ \tau = \mu \left( a - 2by \right) \][/tex]

Consider a constant volume process involving heat addition to a closed system consisting of an ideal gas with no changes in kinetic or potential energy. Is the required heat transfer for raising the temperature from 295 to 305 K the same as the heat transfer required from 345 to 355 K?

Answers

Answer:

Yes and no

Explanation:

The thermodynamic equation for the heat transfer in a constant volume process is the following:

[tex]Q=\Delta U=mC_V\Delta T[/tex]

where Q is the required heat, U is the internal energy, m the mass of the gas, C_V the heat capacity assuming consant volume and [tex]\Delta T[/tex] is the change in temperature.

If you assume the heat capacity doesn't change with temperature at which the gas is currently at then the heat transfer depends solely on the change in temperature. With this assumption the transfered heat would be the same in both cases.

In reality the heat capacity does change with respect to temperature. Depending on the type of gas. In reality there would be difference in heat transfered between 295/205 K and 245/255 . Only then you wouldn't use the [tex]\Delta T[/tex] expression since the integral would be different depending on the heat capacity in relation to temperature.

Explanation:

Hydraulic radius is given by [tex]R_{H} = \frac{A}{P}[/tex] Where

A = Cross sectional area of flow and

P = Perimeter  h

Since the cross section is a circle  then at depth 4 of 4.5 the perimeter

Therefore [tex]R_{H} = \frac{11.39}{10.1} = 1.125 ft[/tex]

Section factor is given by for critical flow = Z = A×√D

(a) the pf of the second load,
(b) the parallel element required to correct the pf to 0.9 lagging for the two loads.

Answers

Answer: a) 0.948 b) 117.5µf

Explanation:

Given the load, a total of 2.4kw and 0.8pf

V= 120V, 60 Hz

P= 2.4 kw, cos θ= 80

P= S sin θ - (p/cos θ) sin θ

= P tan θ(cos^-1 (0.8)

=2.4 tan(36.87)= 1.8KVAR

S= 2.4 + j1. 8KVA

1 load absorbs 1.5 kW at 0.707 pf lagging

P= 1.5 kW, cos θ= 0.707 and θ=45 degree

Q= Ptan θ= tan 45°

Q=P=1.5kw

S1= 1.5 +1.5j KVA

S1 + S2= S

2.4+j1.8= 1.5+1.5j + S2

S2= 0.9 + 0.3j KVA

S2= 0.949= 18.43 °

Pf= cos(18.43°) = 0.948

b.) pf to 0.9, a capacitor is needed.

Pf = 0.9

Cos θ= 0.9

θ= 25.84 °

(WC) V^2= P (tan θ1 - tan θ2)

C= 2400 ( tan (36. 87°) - tan (25.84°)) /2 πf × 120^2

f=60, π=22/7

C= 117.5µf

In this exercise we have to use the parallel plate and capacitor knowledge to find the values, so:

a) 0.948

b) 117.5µf

What is a capacitor?

Capacitor is a component that stores electrical charges in an electrical field, accumulating an internal electrical charge imbalance.

For the following conditions determine whether a CMFR or a PFR is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste stream under steady-state conditions with a first-order reaction: reactor volume = 280 m3, flow rate = 14 m3 · day−1, and reaction rate coefficient = 0.05 day−1.

Answers

Answer:

The PFR is more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.

Xₚբᵣ = 0.632

X꜀ₘբᵣ = 0.5

Xₚբᵣ > X꜀ₘբᵣ

Explanation:

From the reaction rate coefficient, it is evident the reaction is a first order reaction

Performance equation for a CMFR for a first order reaction is

kτ = (X)/(1 - X)

k = reaction rate constant = 0.05 /day

τ = Time constant or holding time = V/F₀

V = volume of reactor = 280 m³

F₀ = Flowrate into the reactor = 14 m³/day

X = conversion

k(V/F₀) = (X)/(1 - X)

0.05 × (280/14) = X/(1 - X)

1 = X/(1 - X)

X = 1 - X

2X = 1

X = 1/2 = 0.5

For the PFR

Performance equation for a first order reaction is given by

kτ = In [1/(1 - X)]

The parameters are the same as above,

0.05 × (280/14) = In (1/(1-X)

1 = In (1/(1-X))

e = 1/(1 - X)

2.718 = 1/(1 - X)

1 - X = 1/2.718

1 - X = 0.3679

X = 1 - 0.3679

X = 0.632

The PFR is evidently more efficient in the removal of the reactive compound as it has the higher conversion ratio.

Final answer:

To determine whether a CMFR or a PFR is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste stream, we compare their volumes and flow rates. For a first-order reaction, the reaction rate is given by the equation r = kC. In a CMFR, the volume is constant, while in a PFR, the volume varies. Therefore, a PFR may be more efficient depending on the reactor design.

Explanation:

To determine whether a CMFR (Continuous Mixed Flow Reactor) or a PFR (Plug Flow Reactor) is more efficient in removing a reactive compound from the waste stream, we need to compare their volumes and flow rates. For a first-order reaction, the reaction rate is given by the equation: r = kC, where r is the reaction rate, k is the reaction rate coefficient, and C is the concentration of the reactive compound.

In a CMFR, the volume is constant, so the reactor volume (280 m3) is equal to the product of the flow rate (14 m3·day−1) and the residence time (t), which is the time it takes for the fluid to pass through the reactor. Therefore, t = V/Q = 280/14 = 20 days.

In a PFR, the volume varies along the length of the reactor, and the residence time is defined as the integral of the volume divided by the flow rate. Using the equation t = ∫V/Q, we can calculate the residence time for a PFR.

Since the residence time for a CMFR is fixed at 20 days, and the residence time for a PFR can be longer or shorter depending on the reactor design, a PFR may be more efficient in removing the reactive compound from the waste stream under steady-state conditions with a first-order reaction.

(a) If Y is the force, i.e. (Y = F), find an expression for the power in the element? (b) If Y is the linear momentum, i.e. (Y = p), find an expression for the energy stored in the element?

Answers

Answer:

a) Power = Av⁴

b) Energy = Av⁴/2 or (A²v⁶)/2m

Explanation:

Given Y = Av³

A = a constant, v = Velocity, Y = system variable.

a) If Y = Force, F, Find Power in the element.

Power is the dot product of Force and velocity and it's a scalar quantity.

i.e. P = F.v = F.v (cos θ) where θ is the angle between the force and velocity vector.

But in this case, average power is simply given by Fv.

P(avg) = Fv = Yv = (Av³) × v = Av⁴

b) If Y = linear momentum, p, Find the energy stored in the element.

Energy is related to linear momentum by the relationship between kinetic energy and linear momentum.

p = mv and E = mv²/2 = (mv)(v)/2, so,

E = pv/2

For this question, p = Y = Av³

E = Yv/2 = (Av³)v/2 = Av⁴/2

Kinetic energy is often related to momentum through this expression too,

p = mv; p² = m²v²

E = mv²/2; E = (mv²/2) × (m/m) = m²v²/2m = p²/2m

Therefore, E = Y²/2m = (Av³)²/2m = (A²v⁶)/2m

A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 95 m/s at a flow rate of 120 kg/s is to be used to generate power by striking the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel. Determine the power generation potential of this water jet. The power generation potential of the water jet is kW.

Answers

Answer:

P= 541.5 kW.

Explanation:

Given that

velocity of water after leaving the nozzle ,v= 95 m/s

The mass flow rate of the water , m= 120 kg/s

The power generated P is given as

[tex]P=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

[tex]P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 120\times 95^2\ W[/tex]

P=541500  W

The  power in kW will be 541.5 kW.

Therefore the answer will be 541.5 kW

P= 541.5 kW.

Final answer:

The power generation potential of the water jet is 542.25 kW.

Explanation:

To determine the power generation potential of the water jet, we need to calculate the kinetic energy of the water jet and then convert it to power. The kinetic energy of the water jet can be calculated using the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass flow rate of the water and v is the velocity of the water jet. Given that the flow rate is 120 kg/s and the velocity is 95 m/s, we can calculate the kinetic energy to be KE = 0.5 * 120 * 95^2 = 0.5 * 120 * 9025 = 542,250 J/s.

To convert the kinetic energy to power, we divide by the time taken to deliver the energy. Since the flow rate is given in kg/s, we can assume the time taken is 1 second. Therefore, the power generation potential of the water jet is 542,250 J/s, or 542.25 kW.
