(30 points) Consider the turbocharger of an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gases enter the turbine at 450C at a rate of

0.02 kg/s and leave at 400C. Air enters the compressor at 708C and 95 kPa at a rate of 0.018 kg/s and leaves at 135 kPa. The mechanical efficiency between the turbine and the compressor is 95 percent (5 percent of turbine work is lost during its transmission to the compressor). Using air properties for the exhaust gases, determine (a) the air temperature at the compressor exit and (b) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor.

Answer:

(a) T₂ = 126°C , T₂s = 106°C

(b) 64%

Explanation:

we will begin with a step by step process;

using the expression

Wт = m(ex)Cp(T₁ - T₂)

where

Wт = turbine power output

m(ex) = mass of the exhaust gas

Cp = specific heat at constant pressure

T₁ = exhaust gas temperature at the turbine inlet

T₂ = exhaust gas temperature at the turbine exit

using from the gas table, the specific heat of exhaust gas at avg temperature of 425°C as 1.075kJ/kg.K

making substitutions we have;

T₁ = 450°C, T₂ = 400°C, m(ex) = 0.02kg/s, Cp = 1.075kJ/kg.K

Substituting values into formula gives;

Wт = m(ex)Cp(T₁ - T₂)

Wт = [(0.02kg/s)(1.075kJ/kg.K)(450+273)K-(400+273)K]

Wт = 1.075 kW

The relationship of mechanical efficiency between turbine and compressor is given as;

Лм = Wc/Wт............................. (1)

where Wт = turbine output

Wc = compressor output

Лм = mechanical efficiency

Wc = Лм × Wт

Wc = 0.95 × 1.075(kW)

Wc = 1.021 kW

compressor power:

Wc = m(air)Cp(T₂ - T₁)

where m(air) = mass of air

T₁ = air temp at the compressor inlet

T₂ = air temp at the compressor exit

Cp = specific heat at constant pressure

T₂ = T₁ + Wc/m(air)Cp .................. (2)

the specific heat of air at the expected average temperature of 100°C is 1.011 kJ/kg.K

substituting T₁ = 70°C, Wc = 1.021 kW, m(air) = 0.018 kg/sm Cp = 1.011 kJ/kg.K

T₂ = 70 °C + (1.021)kW/ (0.018kg/s)(1.011 kJ/kg.K)

T₂ = 126 °C

Considering an isentropic process, the air temperature at the compressor exit;

T₂s = T₁ (P²/P¹)∧(k-1)/(k)

where T₁ = 70°C, P₁= 95kPa, P₂ = 135kPa, k = 1.397

T₂s = (70+273)K (135/95 kPa) ∧ (1.397-1)/(1.397)

T₂s = 379 K = 106 °C

(b). the isentropic efficiency of the compressor

Лc = (T₂s - T₁ / T₂ - T₁)

Лc = (106°C - 70°C) / (126°C - 70°C)

Лc = 0.642 = 64%

the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 64%

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system

jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love

A steel rotating-beam test specimen has an ultimate strength Sut of 1600 MPa. Estimate the life (N) of the specimen if it is tes

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

the life (N) of the specimen is 46400 cycles

Explanation:

given data

ultimate strength Su = 1600 MPa

stress amplitude σa = 900 MPa

to find out

life (N) of the specimen

solution

we first calculate the endurance limit of specimen Se i.e

Se = 0.5× Su .............1

Se = 0.5 × 1600

Se = 800 Mpa

and we know

Se for steel is 700 Mpa for Su ≥ 1400 Mpa

so we take endurance limit Se is = 700 Mpa

and strength of friction f = 0.77 for 232 ksi

because for Se 0.5 Su at $10^{6}$ cycle = (1600 × 0.145 ksi ) = 232

so here coefficient value (a) will be

a = $\frac{(f*Su)^2}{Se}$

a = $\frac{(0.77*1600)^2}{700}$

a = 2168.3 Mpa

so

coefficient value (b) will be

a = - $\frac{1}{3}$ log $\frac{(f*Su)}{Se}$

b = - $\frac{1}{3}$ log $\frac{(0.77*1600)}{700}$

b = -0.0818

so no of cycle N is

N = $(\frac{ \sigma a}{a})^{1/b}$

put here value

N = $(\frac{ 900}{2168.3})^{1/-0.0818}$

N = 46400

the life (N) of the specimen is 46400 cycles

A 20 mm 3 20 mm silicon chip is mounted such thatthe edges are flush in a substrate. The substrate provides anunheated starting

sasho [114]

Answer:

q= 1.77 W

Explanation:

Given data, Dimensions = 20mm x 20mm, Unheated starting length (ε) = 20 mm, Air flow temperature = 25 C, Velocity of flow = 25m/s, Surface Temperature = 75 C

To find maximum allowed power dissipated use the formula Q = hA(ΔT), where Q = Maximum allowed power dissipated from surface , h = heat transfer coefficiant, A = Area of Surface, ΔT = Temperature difference between surface and surrounding

we need to find h, which is given by (Nu x K)/x, where Nu is the Nusselt's Number, k is the thermal conductivity at film temperature and x is the length of the substrate.

For Nu use the Churchill and Ozoe relation used for parallel flow over the flat plate , Nu = (Nux (ε=0))/[1-(ε/x)^3/4]^1/3

Nux (ε=0) = 0.453 x Re^0.5 x Pr^1/3, where Re is the Reynolds number calculated by [Rex = Vx/v, where V is the velocity and v is the kinematic velocity, x being the length of the substrate] and Pr being the Prandtl Number

The constants, namel Pr, k and v are temperature dependent, so we need to find the film temperature

Tfilm = (Tsubstrate + Tmax)/2 = (25 + 75)/2 = 50 C

At 50 C, Pr = 0.7228, k = 0.02735w/m.k , v = 1.798 x 10^-5 m2/s

First find Rex and keep using the value in the subsequent formulas until we reach Q

Rex = Vx/v = 25 x (0.02 + 0.02)/ 1.798 x 10^-5 = 55617.35 < 5 x 10^5, thus flow is laminar, (x = L + ε)

Nux = (Nux (ε=0))/[1-(ε/x)^3/4]^1/3 = 0.453 x Re^0.5 x Pr^1/3/[1-(ε/x)^3/4]^1/3

= 0.453 x 55617.35 ^0.5 x 0.7228^1/3/ [1 - (0.02/0.04)^3/4]^1/3 = 129.54

h = (Nu x K)/x = (129.54 x 0.02735)/0.04 = 88.75W/m2.k

Q = 88.75 x (0.02)^2 x (75-25) = 1.77 W

1.00-L insulated bottle is full of tea at 90.08°C. You pour out one cup of tea and immediately screw the stopper back on the bot

liberstina [14]

Answer:

T_{f} = 90.07998 ° C

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry process where the heat given by the Te is absorbed by the air at room temperature (T₀ = 25ºC) with a specific heat of 1,009 J / kg ºC, we assume that the amount of Tea in the cup is V₀ = 100 ml. The bottle being thermally insulated does not intervene in the process

Qc = -Qb

M $c_{e_Te}$ (T₁ - $T_{f}$ ) = m $c_{e_air}$ (T_{f}-T₀)

Where M is the mass of Tea that remains after taking out the cup, the density of Te is the density of water plus the solids dissolved in them, the approximate values are from 1020 to 1200 kg / m³, for this calculation we use 1100 kg / m³

ρ = m / V

V = 1000 -100 = 900 ml

V = 0.900 l (1 m3 / 1000 l) = 0.900 10⁻³ m³

V_air = 0.100 l = 0.1 10⁻³ m³

Tea Mass

M = ρ V_te

M = 1100 0.9 10⁻³

M = 0.990 kg

Air mass

m = ρ _air V_air

m = 1.225 0.1 10⁻³

m = 0.1225 10⁻³ kg

(m c_{e_air} + M c_{e_Te}) T_{f}. = M c_{e_Te} T1 - m c_{e_air} T₀

T_{f} = (M c_{e_Te} T₁ - m c_{e_air} T₀) / (m c_{e_air} + M c_{e_Te})

Let's calculate

T_{f} = (0.990 1100 90.08– 0.1225 10⁻³ 1.225 25) / (0.1225 10⁻³ 1.225 + 0.990 1100)

T_{f} = (98097.12 -3.75 10⁻³) / (0.15 10⁻³ +1089)

T_{f} = 98097.11 / 1089.0002

T_{f} = 90.07998 ° C

This temperature decrease is very small and cannot be measured

1225

<u>Explanation:</u>

This segment helps initialize sum as 0. The for loop is used to increment with every execution and it is added to the sum. The loop runs 49 times and every time the count is added to the sum. In short it is the sum of first 49 natural numbers i.e 1+2+3+......+49.
