An ocean thermal energy conversion system is being proposed for electric power generation. Such a system is based on the standard power cycle for which the working fluid is evaporated, passed through a turbine, and subsequently condensed. The system is to be used in very special locations for which the oceanic water temperature near the surface is approximately 300 K, while the temperature at reasonable depths is approximately 280 K. The warmer water is used as a heat source to evaporate the working fluid, while the colder water is used as a heat sink for condensation of the fluid. Consider a power plant that is to generate 2 MW of electricity at an efficiency (electric power output per heat input) of 3%. The evaporator is a heat exchanger consisting of a single shell with many tubes executing two passes. If the working fluid is evaporated at its phase change temperature of 290 K, with ocean water entering at 300 K and leaving at 292 K.

Required:
a. What is the heat exchanger area required for the evaporator?
b. What flovw rate must be maintained for the water passing through the evaporator?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the heat exchanger area required for the evaporator is 11178.236 m²

b) the required flow rate is 1993630.38 kg/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Water temperature near the surface = 300 K

temperature at reasonable depths ( cold ) = 280 K

power plant output W' = 2 MW

efficiency η = 3% = 0.03

we know that; efficiency η = W'[tex]_{power-out[/tex] / Q[tex]_{supplied[/tex]

we substitute

0.03 = 2 / Q[tex]_{supplied[/tex]

Q[tex]_{supplied[/tex] = 2 / 0.03

Q[tex]_{supplied[/tex] = 66.667 MW = 66.667 × 10⁶ Watt

T[tex]h_{in[/tex] = 300 K       T[tex]h_{out[/tex] = 292 K

T[tex]c_{in[/tex] = 290 K       T[tex]c_{out[/tex] = 290 K    

Now, Heat transfer in evaporator;

Q = UA( LMTD )

so

LMTD = (ΔT₁ - ΔT₂) / ln( ΔT₁ / ΔT₂ )

first we get ΔT₁ and ΔT₂

ΔT₁ = T[tex]h_{in[/tex] - T[tex]c_{out[/tex]  = 300 - 290 = 10 K

ΔT₂ = T[tex]h_{out[/tex] - T[tex]c_{in[/tex]  = 292 - 290 = 2 K

so we substitute into our equation;

LMTD = (10 - 2) / ln( 10 / 2 )

LMTD = 8 / ln( 5 )

LMTD = 8 / 1.6094379

LMTD = 4.97

a) Heat transfer Area will be;

Q[tex]_H[/tex] = UA( LMTD )

we substitute

66.667 × 10⁶ = 1200 × A × 4.97

66.667 × 10⁶  = 5964 × A

A = (66.667 × 10⁶) / 5964

A = 11178.236 m²

Therefore, the heat exchanger area required for the evaporator is 11178.236 m²

b) Flow rate  

we know that;

Q[tex]_H[/tex] = m'C[tex]_P[/tex]( [tex]T_{in[/tex] - [tex]T_{out[/tex] )  

specific heat capacity of water Cp = 4.18 (kJ/kg∙°C)

we substitute

66.667 × 10⁶ = m' × 4.18 × ( 300 - 292 )

66.667 × 10⁶ = m' × 33.44

m' = ( 66.667 × 10⁶ ) / 33.44

m' = 1993630.38 kg/s

Therefore, the required flow rate is 1993630.38 kg/s

A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is manufactured using 80 vol% aramid fiber (a kevlar-like compound) embedded nylon 6-6. A part for a high-performance aircraft utilizes this composite. If the part experiences 953 lb-f (pounds force) along the fiber alignment axis, what is the force conveyed by the fibers ?

Answers

Answer:

the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V_f = 80% = 0.8

V_m = 1 - V_f = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

Now,

length of fibre L_f = length of Nylon L_n

V_f = A_f × L_f = 0.8

V_m = A_n × L_n = 0.2

so

V_f/V_m = A_f/A_n = 0.8/0.2

A_f/A_n = 4

now, the strains in fibre is equal to strains in nylon

(P/AE)f = (P/AE)n

P_f/A_fE_f = P_n/A_nE_n

P_f = (A_f/A_n)(E_f/E_n)(P_n)    

P_f = ( 4 )( 131 / 2.8 )(Pn)  

P_f = 187.14Pn

and P_n = Pf / 187.14

Hence

given that P_total = 953 lb-f

P_f + P_n = 953

P_f + ( P_f / 187.14 ) = 953

P_f( 1 + ( 1 / 187.14 ) ) = 953

P_f( 1.00534359 = 953

P_f = 953 / 1.00534359

P_f = 947.93 lb-f

Therefore, the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f

A center-point bending test was performed on a 2 in. x d in. wood lumber according to ASTM D198 procedure with a span of 4 ft and the 4 in. side is positioned vertically. If the maximum load was 240 kips and the modulus of rupture was 940.3 ksi, what is the value of d

Answers

Answer:

3.03 INCHES

Explanation:

According to ASTM D198 ;

Modulus of rupture = ( M / I ) * y  ----- ( 1 )

M ( bending moment ) = R * length of span / 2

                                     = (120 * 10^3 ) * 48 / 2 = 288 * 10^4 Ib-in

I ( moment of inertia ) = bd^3 / 12

                                    = ( 2 )*( d )^3  / 12 =  2d^3 / 12

b = 2 in ,  d = ?

length of span = 4 * 12 = 48 inches

R = P  / 2 =  240 * 10^3 / 2 =   120 * 10^3 Ib

y ( centroid distance ) = d / 2  inches

back to equation ( 1 )

( M / I ) * y

940.3 ksi = ( 288 * 10^4 / 2d^3 / 12 ) * d / 2

                = ( 288 * 10^4 * 12 ) / 2d^3 )  * d / 2

940300  = 34560000* d / 4d^3

4d^3 ( 940300 ) = 34560000 d  ( divide both sides with d )

4d^2 = 34560000 / 940300

d^2 = 9.188   ∴ Value of d ≈ 3.03 in

Consider a turbofan engine installed on an aircraft flying at an altitude of 5500m. The CPR is 12 and the inlet diameter of this engine is 2.0m The bypass ratio of this engine 8. The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. The inlet temperature is 253K and the outlet temperature is 233K. Determine the thrust of this engine in order to fly at the velocity of 250 m/s. Assume cold air approach. The engine is ideal.

Answers

Answer:

The thrust of the engine calculated using the cold air is 34227.35 N

Explanation:

For the turbofan engine, firstly the overall mass flow rate is considered. The mass flow rate is given as

[tex]\dot{m}=\rho AV_a[/tex]

Here

ρ is the density which is given as [tex]\dfrac{P}{RT}[/tex]P is the pressure of air at 5500 m from the ISA whose value is 50506.80 PaR is the gas constant whose value is 286.9 J/kg.KT is the temperature of the inlet which is given as 253 KA is the cross-sectional area of the inlet which is given by using the diameter of 2.0 mV_a is the velocity of the aircraft which is given as 250 m/s

So the equation becomes

[tex]\dot{m}=\rho AV_a\\\dot{m}=\dfrac{P}{RT} AV_a\\\dot{m}=\dfrac{50506.80}{286.9\times 253} \times (\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 2^2)\times 250\\\dot{m}=546.4981\ kgs^{-1}[/tex]

Now in order to find the flow from the fan, the Bypass ratio is used.

[tex]\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{BPR}{BPR+1}\times \dot{m}[/tex]

Here BPR is given as 8 so the equation becomes

[tex]\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{BPR}{BPR+1}\times \dot{m}\\\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{8}{8+1}\times 546.50\\\dot{m}_f=485.77\ kgs^{-1}[/tex]

Now the exit velocity is calculated using the total energy balance which is given as below:

[tex]h_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=h_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2[/tex]

Here

h_4 and h_5 are the enthalpies at point 4 and 5 which could be rewritten as [tex]c_pT_4[/tex] and [tex]c_pT_5[/tex] respectively.The value of T_4 is the inlet temperature which is 253 KThe value of T_5 is the outlet temperature which is 233KThe value of c_p is constant which is 1005 J/kgKV_a is the inlet velocity which is 250 m/sV_e is the outlet velocity that is to be calculated.

So the equation becomes

[tex]h_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=h_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2\\c_pT_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=c_pT_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2[/tex]

Rearranging the equation gives

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2=c_pT_4-c_pT_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2\\\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2=c_p(T_4-T_5)+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2\\V_e^2=2c_p(T_4-T_5)+V_a^2\\V_e=\sqrt{2c_p(T_4-T_5)+V_a^2}\\V_e=\sqrt{2\times 1005\times (253-233)+(250)^2}\\V_e=320.46 m/s[/tex]

Now using  the cold air approach, the thrust is given as follows

[tex]T=\dot{m}_f(V_e-V_a)\\T=485.77\times (320.46-250)\\T=34227.35\ N[/tex]

So the thrust of the engine calculated using the cold air is 34227.35 N

Explanation:

You do a simple experiment at home with the plastic body of a syringe, where you close the exit with one thumb, and push in the plunger with your other thumb. You are able to compress the air inside the syringe from 5ml to 1ml. Assume that you hold the plunger for long enough such that the temperature equalizes to ambient conditions.

Required:
a. Given that the circular plunger's diameter is 1.5cm, how much force is being exerted to hold the plunger in the compressed state?
b. Given that the opening of the syringe has a diameter of 2mm, how much force is exerted on the thumb used to trap the air from escaping?

Answers

Answer:

a. 89.5 N b. 1.59 N

Explanation:

a. Given that the circular plunger's diameter is 1.5cm, how much force is being exerted to hold the plunger in the compressed state?

Using Boyle's law, we find the final pressure at the compressed state given that the initial pressure is atmospheric pressure

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ where P₁ = initial atmospheric pressure in syringe = 1 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m²,V₁ = initial volume of syringe = 5 ml, P₂ = final pressure in syringe at compression and V₂ = final volume of syringe = 1 ml

So, making P₂ subject of the formula, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m² × 5 ml/1 ml

P₂ = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m² × 5

P₂ = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²

Since pressure, P = F/A where F = force and A = cross-sectional area of syringe = πd²/4 where d = diameter of syringe = 1.5 cm = 1.5 × 10⁻² m.

So, F = PA

F = P₂πd²/4

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F = P₂πd²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(1.5 × 10⁻² m)²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(2.25 × 10⁻⁴ m²)/4

F = 35.8 × 10/4 N

F = 8.95 × 10

F = 89.5 N

b. Given that the opening of the syringe has a diameter of 2mm, how much force is exerted on the thumb used to trap the air from escaping?

Since the pressure in the syringe after compression is constant, we have

P₂ = F₁/A₁ where F₁ = force exerted on thumb and A₁ = cross-sectional area of  opening of syringe = πd₁²/4 where d = diameter of opening of syringe = 2 mm = 2 × 10⁻³ m.

So, F₁ = P₂A₁

F = P₂πd₁²/4

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F = P₂πd²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(2 × 10⁻³ m)²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(4 × 10⁻⁶ m²)/4

F = 15.91 × 10⁻¹

F = 1.591 N

F ≅ 1.59 N

In a certain balanced three phase system each line current is a 5a and each line voltage is 220v . What is the approximate real power if the power factor is 0.7

Answers

Answer:

1,334

Explanation:

In a certain balanced three phase system each line current is a 5a and each line voltage is 220v . 3.87 kilowatts is the approximate real power if the power factor is 0.7.

The idea of real power in a balanced three-phase system is critical in electrical power systems. It denotes the actual power transferred and used by the system, which is usually measured in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW). Understanding real power is critical for evaluating electrical system efficiency and performance. Real power is the component of power in a balanced three-phase system that does useful work, such as operating motors, generating heat, or powering appliances.

Real Power (P) = √3 × Line Current (I) × Line Voltage (V) × Power Factor (PF)

P = √3 × 5 A × 220 V × 0.7

P = 3.87 kilowatts (kW)
