Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 21 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 K. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 3.5 kW from the compressor to its surroundings.
Assuming the ideal gas model for air and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the power input, in kW.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- 46.5171kW

Explanation:

FIrst, the value given:

P1 = 1.05 bar (Initial pressure)

P2 = 12 bar (final pressure)

Heat transfer, Q = - 3.5 kW (It is negative because the compressor losses heat to the surroundings)

Mgaseous nitrogen = Mair = 28.0134 Kg/mol (constant)

Universal gas constant, Ru = 8.3143 Kj/Kgmolk

Specific gas constant, R = 0.28699 Kj/KgK

Initial temperature, T1 = 300 K

Final temperature, T2 = 400 K

Finding the volume:

P1V1 = RT1

V1 = RT1 ÷ P1

= (0.28699 Kj/KgK X 300k) ÷ 105

Note convert bar to Kj/Nm by multiply it by 100

V1 =  0.81997 m3/Kg

To get the mass flow rate:

m = volumetric flow rate / V1

= (21 m3/min x 1/60seconds) ÷ 0.81997 m3/Kg

= 0.4268Kg/s

Using tables for the enthalpy,

hT1 = 300.19 KJ/Kg

hT2 = 400.98 KJ/Kg

The enthalpy change = hT2 - hT1

= 100.79 KJ/Kg

Power, P = Q - (m X enthalpy change)

= - 3.5 - (0.4268 X 100.79)

= - 46.5171kW

Steam enters a turbine with a pressure of 30 bar, a temperature of 400 oC, and a velocity of 160 m/s. Saturated vapor at 100 oC exits with a velocity of 100 m/s. At steady state, the turbine develops work equal to 540 kJ per kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings occurs at an average outer surface temperature of 350 K. Determine the rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine per kg of steam flo

Answers

Answer:

The rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine is 22.762 kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

By either the Principle of Mass Conservation and First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, we model the steam turbine by the two equations described below:

Principle of Mass Conservation

[tex]\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = 0[/tex] (1)

First Law of Thermodynamics

[tex]-\dot Q_{out} + \dot m \cdot \left[h_{in}-h_{out}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2}) - w_{out} \right] = 0[/tex] (2)

Second Law of Thermodynamics

[tex]-\frac{\dot Q_{out}}{T_{out}} + \dot m\cdot (s_{in}-s_{out}) + \dot S_{gen} = 0[/tex] (3)

By dividing each each expression by [tex]\dot m[/tex], we have the following system of equations:

[tex]-q_{out} + h_{in}-h_{out} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2}) - w_{out} = 0[/tex] (2b)

[tex]-\frac{q_{out}}{T_{out}} + s_{in}-s_{out} + s_{gen} = 0[/tex] (3b)

Where:

[tex]\dot Q_{out}[/tex] - Heat transfer rate between the turbine and its surroundings, in kilowatts.

[tex]q_{out}[/tex] - Specific heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings, in kilojoules per kilogram.

[tex]T_{out}[/tex] - Outer surface temperature of the turbine, in Kelvin.

[tex]\dot m[/tex] - Mass flow rate through the turbine, in kilograms per second.

[tex]h_{in}[/tex], [tex]h_{out}[/tex] - Specific enthalpy of water at inlet and outlet, in kilojoules per kilogram.

[tex]v_{in}[/tex], [tex]v_{out}[/tex] - Speed of water at inlet and outlet, in meters per second.

[tex]w_{out}[/tex] - Specific work of the turbine, in kilojoules per kilogram.

[tex]s_{in}[/tex], [tex]s_{out}[/tex] - Specific entropy of water at inlet and outlet, in kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

[tex]s_{gen}[/tex] - Specific generated entropy, in kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

By property charts for steam, we get the following information:

Inlet

[tex]T = 400\,^{\circ}C[/tex], [tex]p = 3000\,kPa[/tex], [tex]h = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex], [tex]s = 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex]

Outlet

[tex]T = 100\,^{\circ}C[/tex], [tex]p = 101.42\,kPa[/tex], [tex]h = 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex], [tex]s = 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]h_{in} = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex], [tex]h_{out} = 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex], [tex]v_{in} = 160\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]v_{out} = 100\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]w_{out} = 540\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex], [tex]T_{out} = 350\,K[/tex], [tex]s_{in} = 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex] and [tex]s_{out} = 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex], then the rate at which entropy is produced withing the turbine is:

[tex]q_{out} = h_{in} - h_{out} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})-w_{out}[/tex]

[tex]q_{out} = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\left(160\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(100\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right] - 540\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex]

[tex]q_{out} = 7816.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex]

[tex]s_{gen} = \frac{q_{out}}{T_{out}}+s_{out}-s_{in}[/tex]

[tex]s_{gen} = \frac{7816.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{350\,K} + 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex]

[tex]s_{gen} = 22.762\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}[/tex]

The rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine is 22.762 kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

A resistor, inductor, and capacitor are in parallel in a circuit where the frequency of operation can vary. The R, L, and C values are such that at the frequency omega subscript 0, the magnitude of all the impedances are equal to each other. If the frequency of operation approaches zero, which element will dominate in determining the equivalent impedance of this parallel combination?

a. The inductor.
b. The capacitor.
c. The resistor.
d. Insufficient information provided.

Answers

Answer:

Option A is correct

Explanation:

As we know  

Inductive Susceptance = ½(pi)*f*L

Or  Inductive Susceptance is inversely  proportional to the frequency

Likewise conductive Susceptance = 2 (pi)*f*C

Conductive Susceptance is directly proportional to the frequency

When the frequency will reach the value zero, then the Inductive Susceptance will become infinite

Hence, inductor will dominate in determining the equivalent impedance of this parallel combination

Resonance frequency occurs when the applied period force is equal to the natural frequency of the system upon which the force acts :

To obtain :

At resonance, Inductive reactance = capacitive reactance

Equate the inductive and capacitive reactance

Inductive reactance(Xl) = 2πFL

Capacitive Reactance(Xc) = 1/2πFC

Inductive reactance(Xl) = Capacitive Reactance(Xc)

2πFL = 1/2πFC

Multiplying both sides by F

F * 2πFL = F * 1/2πFC

2πF²L = 1/2πC

Isolating F²

F² = 1/2πC2πL

F² = 1/4π²LC

Take the square root of both sides to make F the subject

F = √1 / √4π²LC

F = 1 /2π√LC

Hence, the proof.
