Answer:

Gross building area

Explanation:

The Gross building area refers to the entire area of a building covering all the floors. The measurement is expressed in square feet. The Gross building area also includes basements, penthouses, and mezzanines. It is calculated by estimating the exterior dimension of the building. Storage rooms, laundries, staircases are also a part of the gross building area.

Consider insulation on a circular pipe For the same thickness and type of insulation, the thermal resistance of the insulation i
leonid [27]

Answer:

b). The same for all pipes independent of the diameter

Explanation:

We know,

R_{conduction}=\frac{ln(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}{2\pi LK}

R_{convection}=\frac{1}{h(2\pi r_{2}L)}

From the above formulas we can conclude that the thermal resistance of a substance mainly depends upon heat transfer coefficient,whereas radius has negligible effects on heat transfer coefficient.

We also know,

Factors on which thermal resistance of insulation depends are :

1. Thickness of the insulation

2. Thermal conductivity of the insulating material.

Therefore from above observation we can conclude that the thermal resistance of the insulation is same for all pipes independent of diameter.

Derive an equation for the work of a mechanically reversible, isothermal compression of 1 mol of a gas from an initial pressure
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The long derivation for work of a mechanically reversible, isothermal compression was done with detailed steps as shown in the attachment.

Explanation:

what is applied here is a long derivation from Work done in an isobaric process, the expression for the compressibility factor (Z) and the equation of state that was given. The requisite knowledge of Differentiation and Integration was used.

The detailed derivation from firs principle is as shown in the attachment.

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 46.2 MPa and the stress amplitude was 219 MPa.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a)σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

b)σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

c)Stress\ ratio =-0.65

d)Range = 438 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

Mean stress ,σm= 46.2 MPa

Stress amplitude ,σa= 219 MPa

Lets take

Maximum stress level = σ₁

Minimum stress level =σ₂

The mean stress given as

\sigma_m=\dfrac{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}{2}

2\sigma_m={\sigma_1+\sigma_2}

2 x 46.2 =  σ₁ +  σ₂

 σ₁ +  σ₂ = 92.4 MPa    --------1

The amplitude stress given as

\sigma_a=\dfrac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{2}

2\sigma_a={\sigma_1-\sigma_2}

2 x 219 =  σ₁ -  σ₂

 σ₁ -  σ₂ = 438 MPa    --------2

By adding the above equation

2  σ₁ = 530.4

σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

-σ₂ = 438 -265.2 MPa

σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

Stress ratio

Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}

Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{-172.8}{265.2}

Stress\ ratio =-0.65

Range = 265.2 MPa - ( -172.8 MPa)

Range = 438 MPa

A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550°C at a rate
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A) condenser pressure = 9.73 kPa,

B) 10242 kw

C) 36.9%

Explanation:

given data

entrance pressure of steam = 12.5 MPa

temperature of steam = 550⁰c

flow rate of steam = 7.7 kg/s

outer pressure = 2 MPa

reheated steam temperature = 450⁰c

isentropic efficiency of turbine( nt ) = 85% = 0.85

isentropic efficiency of pump = 90% = 0.90

From steam tables

at 12.5 MPa and 550⁰c ; h3 = 3476.5 kJ/kg,  S3 = 6.6317 kJ/kgK

also for an Isentropic expansion

S4s = S3 .

therefore when S4s = 6.6317 kJ/kg and P4 = 2 MPa

h4s = 2948.1 kJ/kg

nt = 0.85

nt (0.85) = \frac{h3-h4}{h3-h4s} = \frac{3476.5 - h4}{3476.5 - 2948.1}

making h4 subject of the equation

h4 = 3476.5 - 0.85 (3476.5 - 2948.1)

h4 = 3027.3 kj/kg

at P5 = 2 MPa and T5 = 450⁰c

h5 = 3358.2 kj/kg,  s5 = 7.2815 kj/kgk

at P6 , x6 = 0.95  and s5 = s6

using nt = 0.85 we can calculate for h6 and h6s

from the chart attached below we can see that

p6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kj/kg

B) the net power output

solution is attached below

c) thermal efficiency

thermal efficiency = 1 - \frac{qout}{qin} = 1 - ( 2273.7/ 3603.8) = 36.9% ≈ 37%
