Steam flows at steady state through a converging, insulated nozzle, 25 cm long and with an inlet diameter of 5 cm. At the nozzle

entrance (state 1), the temperature and pressure are 325 degree Celsius and 700 kPa. And the velocity is 30 m/sec. At the nozzle exit (state 2) the steam temperature and pressure are 250 degree Celsius and 350 kPa. Property values are: H1=3,112.5 kJ/kg, V1=388.61 cm3/gr H2=2,945.7 kJ/kg, V2=667.75 cm3/gr What is the velocity of the steam at the exit and what is the exit diameter?

Answer:

U_2 = 578.359 m /s

d_e = 1.4924 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of nozzle L = 25 cm

Inlet diameter d_i = 5 cm

Nozzle Entrance : T_1 = 325 C , P_1 = 700 KPa , U_1 = 30 m / s , H_1 = 3112.5 KJ / kg , V_1 = 388.61 cm^3 / g

Nozzle Exit : T_2 = 250 C , P_2 = 350 KPa , U_2, H_2 = 2945.7 KJ / kg , V_2 = 667.75 cm^3 / g

To Find:

a. Velocity at exit U_2

b. Exit Diameter d_e

a.

Energy Equation is given as:

ΔH + ΔU^2 / 2 + gΔz = Q + W

Q = W = Δz = 0

Substitute the values:

(H_2 - H_1 ) + (U^2_2 - U^2_1 ) / 2 = 0

U_2 = sqrt((2* (H_1 - H_2 ) ) + U^2_1)

U_2 = sqrt ( 2 * 10^3 * (3112.5 -2945.7) + 900)

U_2 = 578.359 m / s

b.

Mass Balance :

U_1 * A_1 / V_1 = U_2 * A_2 / V_2

A = pi*d^2 / 4

U_1 * d_i ^ 2 / V_1 = U_2 * d_e ^2 / V_2

d_e = d_i * sqrt ( (U_1 / U_2) * (V_2 / V_1))

d_e = 5 * sqrt ((30 / 578.359) * (667.75 / 388.61))

d_e = 1.4924 cm

An electrical utility delivers 6.25E10 kWh of power to its customers in a year. What is the average power required during the ye

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The overall Utility delivered to customers in a year 'U' = 6.25 X 10¹⁰Kwh

However, the average power P, required for a year, t = ? Kw

Expressing their relationship, we will have

U = P x t

Given t = 1 year = 24 x 365 hours (assume a year operation is 365 days)

t = 8760 hours

P = $\frac{62500000000}{8760}$

P = 7134.7Kw

Hence, the average power required during the year is 7,135Kw

Now to calculate the energy used by the power plant in a year (in quads)?

Recall, Efficiency, η = Power Output/Power Input (100)

so, we have

η = P₀/P₁, given

0.45 = $\frac{7134.7Kw}{P₁}$

P₁ = 15,855Kw

the total energy E₁ used in a year = 15,855x24x365 = 138.89MJoules

So to convert this to quads, Note;

1 quads of energy = 10¹⁵ Joules

The total energy used is 0.000000139 quads

Now to find the cubic feet of natural gas required to generate this power?

Note: 0.29Kwh of Power generated = 1 cubic feet of natural gas used

Since, the power plant generated = 62500000000Kwh

The cubic feet of natural gas used = $\frac{62500000000}{0.29}$

Hence, 2.155x10²⁰cubic feet of N.gas was used to generate this much power.

If water molecules pass through a membrane with a steady state flux of 220 mole/(m2 day), how long will it take, in hours, for 0

goblinko [34]

Answer:

<em>0.0386 hr</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Area = 565 cm^2 = 0.0565 m^2 (1 cm^2 = 0.0001 m^2)

flux state rate = 220 mole/m^2-day

<em>There are 24 hrs in a day,</em> therefore rate in hrs will be

220/24 = 9.17 mole/m^2-hr

mass of water = 0.4 kg

molar mass of water = (1 x 2) + 16 = 18 kg/mole

therefore,

<em>mole of water = mass of water/molar mass of water</em>

mole of water = 0.4/18 = 0.02 mole

<em>mole flux = mole/area</em> = 0.02/0.0565 = 0.354 mol/m^2

<em>time that will be taken will be for water to pass = mole flux/mole flux rate</em>

time = 0.354/9.17 = <em>0.0386 hr</em>

The 8-mm-thick bottom of a 220-mm-diameter pan may be made from aluminum (k = 240 W/m ⋅ K) or copper (k = 390 W/m ⋅ K). When use

Artemon [7]

Answer:

For aluminum 110.53 C

For copper 110.32 C

Explanation:

Heat transmission through a plate (considering it as an infinite plate, as in omitting the effects at the borders) follows this equation:

$q = \frac{k * A * (th - tc)}{d}$

Where

q: heat transferred

k: conduction coeficient

A: surface area

th: hot temperature

tc: cold temperature

d: thickness of the plate

Rearranging the terms:

d * q = k * A * (th - tc)

$\frac{d * q}{k * A} = th - tc$

$th = \frac{d * q}{k * A} + tc$

The surface area is:

$A = \frac{\pi * d^2}{4}$

$A = \frac{\pi * 0.22^2}{4} = 0.038 m^2$

If the pan is aluminum:

$th = \frac{0.008 * 600}{240 * 0.038} + 110 = 110.53 C$

If the pan is copper:

$th = \frac{0.008 * 600}{390 * 0.038} + 110 = 110.32 C$

All of these are true about GMA (MIG) welding EXCEPT that:

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

the welding gun liner regulates the shielding gas.

Explanation:

The purpose of the welding gun liner is to properly position the welding wire from the wire feeder till it gets to the nozzle or contact tip of the gun. <em>Regulation of the shielding gas depends on factors such as the speed, current, and type of gas being used. </em>In gas metal arc welding, an electric arc is used to generate heat which melts both the electrode and the workpiece or base metal.

The electric arc produced is shielded from contamination by the shielding gas. The heat generated by the short electric arc is low.
