Answer:

The change in entropy of the steam is 2.673 kJ/K

Explanation:

The mass of the liquid-vapor mixture is 1.5 kg

The mass in the liquid phase is calculated as 3/4 × 1.5 kg = 1.125 kg

The mass in the vapor phase is calculated as 1.5 - 1.125 = 0.375 kg

According to the steam tables

At a pressure of 200 kPa (200/100 = 2 bar), the specific entropy of steam is found to be 7.127 kJ/kgK

The entropy of steam can be calculated as specific entropy multiplied by mass = 7.127 × 0.375 = 2.673 kJ/K

The variation in entropy of the steam throughout this process is determined to be 5.55615 KJ/kg. To analyze this, we refer to the steam tables to gather the properties for both states. At State 1, we have a pressure of P1 = 200 KPa, and the quality is calculated as X1 = 1 - 3/4, resulting in a value of 0.25. Consulting the steam table for 200 KPa, we find the specific volume of the liquid Vf = 0.001061 m³/kg and for the gas Vg = 0.88578 m³/kg. Therefore, the difference in specific volumes Vfg comes to Vg - Vf = 0.884719 m³/kg. The entropy values are Sf = 1.5302 KJ/kg.k and Sfg = 5.5968 KJ/kg.k. Subsequently, the specific volume of water at state 1 is computed as V1 = Vf + X1 Vfg = 0.001061 m³/kg + (0.25)(0.884719 m³/kg) leading to a result of V1 = 0.22224075 m³/kg. Correspondingly, the entropy is expressed as S1 = Sf + X1 Sfg = 1.5302 KJ/kg.k + (0.25)(5.5968 KJ/kg.k), resulting in S1 = 2.9294 KJ/kg.k. For State 2, where V2 remains equal to V1 (0.22224075 m³/kg) and X2 = 1 (Saturated Vapor), steam table interpolation yields S2 = 6.6335 KJ/kg.k. The change in entropy, ΔS, is represented by the equation ΔS = m(S2 - S1), calculated as ΔS = (1.5 kg)(6.6335 - 2.9294) KJ/kg.k, yielding ΔS = 5.55615 KJ/K.

estimate the area for a landfill for 12000 p producing waste for 10 y. assume that the national average is
alex41 [274]

Answer:

1.015 ha.

Explanation:

To calculate the landfill area required for 12,000 people producing waste over 10 years, follow these steps:[STEP ONE: Calculate the average solid waste generated per person per year (kg p^-1 ^y(kg/py)).

According to the problem, the average solid waste produced is 2.78 kg per person daily (kg/pd), hence converting to kg/py involves:

2.78 × 365 days = 1014.7 kg/py.

STEP TWO: Determine yearly volume of refuse per person.

Thus, volume = 1014.7 kg/py ÷ 500 kg/m^3 = 2.03 m^3 per person per year.

STEP THREE: Calculate total solid waste volume over 10 years for 12,000 individuals.

Total waste volume over 10 years = 10 × 12,000 × 2.03 = 243,600 m^3.

STEP FOUR: Find the required area for the landfill.

Note: The total height for the landfill should be 20 + 4 = 24m.

Thus, the area for the landfill = 243,600 m^3 / 24m = 10,150 m^2.

If 10,000 m^2 equals 1 ha, then 10,150 m^2 ÷ 10,000 m^2 = 1.015 ha.

(f). Ensure to expand the landfill area for enhancements.

A 50 Hz, four pole turbo-generator rated 100 MVA, 11 kV has an inertia constant of 8.0 MJ/MVA. (a) Find the stored energy in the
Mrrafil [253]

Given Information:

Frequency = f = 60 Hz

Complex rated power = G = 100 MVA

Inertia constant = H = 8 MJ/MVA

Mechanical power = Pmech = 80 MW

Electrical power = Pelec = 50 MW

Number of poles = P = 4

No. of cycles = 10

Required Information:

(a) stored energy =?

(b) rotor acceleration =?

(c) change in torque angle =?

(c) rotor speed =?

Answer:

(a) stored energy = 800 Mj

(b) rotor acceleration = 337.46 elec deg/s²

(c) change in torque angle (in elec deg) = 6.75 elec deg

(c) change in torque angle (in rmp/s) = 28.12 rpm/s

(c) rotor speed = 1505.62 rpm

Explanation:

(a) Calculate the rotor's stored energy at synchronous speed.

The stored energy is represented as

E = G \times H

Where G stands for complex rated power and H signifies the inertia constant of the turbo-generator.

E = 100 \times 8 \\\\E = 800 \: MJ

(b) If we suddenly increase the mechanical input to 80 MW against an electrical load of 50 MW, we shall find the rotor's acceleration while ignoring mechanical and electrical losses.

The formula for rotor acceleration is given by

$ P_a = P_{mech} - P_{elec} = M \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} $

Where M is defined as

$ M = \frac{E}{180 \times f} $

$ M = \frac{800}{180 \times 50} $

M = 0.0889 \: MJ \cdot s/ elec \: \: deg

$ P_a = 80 - 50 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} $

$ 30 = 0.0889 \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} $

$ \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = \frac{30}{0.0889} $

$ \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2} = 337.46 \:\: elec \: deg/s^2 $

(c) If the acceleration derived in part (b) persists over 10 cycles, we will calculate both the change in torque angle and the rotor speed in revolutions per minute at the end of this duration.

The change in torque angle is expressed as

$ \Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{d^2 \delta}{dt^2}\cdot (t)^2 $

Where t is determined from

1 \: cycle = 1/f = 1/50 \\\\10 \: cycles = 10/50 = 0.2 \\\\t = 0.2 \: sec

Consequently,

$ \Delta \delta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 337.46 \cdot (0.2)^2 $

$ \Delta \delta = 6.75 \: elec \: deg

The change in torque in rpm/s is provided by

$ \Delta \delta = \frac{337.46 \cdot 60}{2 \cdot 360\circ } $

$ \Delta \delta =28.12 \: \: rpm/s $

The rotor speed in rpm at the culmination of this 10-cycle period is calculated as

$ Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot f}{P} + (\Delta \delta)\cdot t $

Where P indicates the number of poles on the turbo-generator.

$ Rotor \: speed = \frac{120 \cdot 50}{4} + (28.12)\cdot 0.2 $

$ Rotor \: speed = 1500 + 5.62 $

$ Rotor \: speed = 1505.62 \:\: rpm

An open vat in a food processing plant contains 500 L of water at 20°C and atmospheric pressure. If the water is heated to 80°C,
Mrrafil [253]

Answer:

Volume change percentage is 2.60%

Water level increase is 4.138 mm

Explanation:

Provided data

Water volume V = 500 L

Initial temperature T1 = 20°C

Final temperature T2 = 80°C

Diameter of the vat = 2 m

Objective

We aim to determine percentage change in volume and the rise in water level.

Solution

We will apply the bulk modulus equation, which relates the change in pressure to the change in volume.

It can similarly relate to density changes.

Thus,

E = -\frac{dp}{dV/V}................1

And -\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{d\rho}{\rho}............2

Here, ρ denotes density. The density at 20°C = 998 kg/m³.

The density at 80°C = 972 kg/m³.

Plugging in these values into equation 2 gives

-\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{d\rho}{\rho}

-\frac{dV}{500*10^{-3} } = \frac{972-998}{998}

dV = 0.0130 m³

Therefore, the percentage change in volume will be

dV % = -\frac{dV}{V}  × 100

dV % = -\frac{0.0130}{500*10^{-3} }  × 100

dV % = 2.60 %

Hence, the percentage change in volume is 2.60%

Initial volume v1 = \frac{\pi }{4} *d^2*l(i)................3

Final volume v2 = \frac{\pi }{4} *d^2*l(f)................4

From equations 3 and 4, subtract v1 from v2.

v2 - v1 =  \frac{\pi }{4} *d^2*(l(f)-l(i))

dV = \frac{\pi }{4} *d^2*dl

Substituting all values yields

0.0130 = \frac{\pi }{4} *2^2*dl

Thus, dl = 0.004138 m.

Consequently, the water level rises by 4.138 mm.

Kisachek [217]

Answer:

a) F = 736.065\,lbf, b) \mu_{k} = 0.15

Explanation:

a) The uniform dresser can be modeled using specific equilibrium equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = F - \mu_{k}\cdot N = 0

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g=0

Following some algebraic manipulations, the formulated equation is derived:

F = \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g

F = (0.25)\cdot (90\,lbm)\cdot (32.714\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} )

F = 22.5\,lbf

b) Similarly, the man can be represented by a set of equilibrium equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = -F + \mu_{k}\cdot N = 0

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g=0

After some algebraic changes, the expression for the coefficient of static friction comes out as:

\mu_{k} = \frac{F}{m\cdot g}

\mu_{k} = \frac{22.5\,lbf}{150\,lbf}

\mu_{k} = 0.15
