Estimate the cooling capacity of absorption chiller to be : A gas turbine (can assume an ideal Brayton cycle) has a pressure ratio of 10. It is connected to an electric generator with an efficiency of 95% which produces 300kW of electricity.

Assume an ideal brayton cycle : A gas turbine (can assume an ideal Brayton cycle) has a pressure ratio of 10. It is connected to an electric generator with an efficiency of 95% which produces 200MW of electricity. The gas turbine burns natural gas with a heating value of 100,000 bt..

What is the mass flow rate of steam through the turbine : Consider a small simple Rankine Power cycle which produces 600kW power from an electric generator with an efficiency of 95%. The steam leaves the boiler at 1250psia as superheated steam and leaves the turbine at 2 psia with a quality of 90%.

Vapor compression refrigeration cycle : A vapor compression refrigeration cycle has a theoretical COP of 4.8 and provides 120,000 btu/h of cooling (same as 10 tons of cooling). The compressor is driven by a motor with an efficiency of 92%. Estimate the theoretical kW electrical demand that..

Dam is to be built such that the estimated average flow : The dam is to be built such that the estimated average flow over its crest will be Q = 3000 m^3/s. Determine the required flow over the crest of a model built to a scale of 1/25

What is the entropy generation in the process : A thermodynamicist is attempting to model the process of balloon inflation by assuming that the elastic casing behaves like a spring opposing the expansion as presented in the figure. As air is admitted, the spring is compressed.

Dissipates heat by free convection : A thin long electric heater of width 20 cm is placed with its width oriented vertically. It dissipates heat by free convection from both sides of its surface into air at 20C. If the heater should not exceed 225C, determine the length of the heater in..

The total heat transfer rate from the plate to the air : Air at 40C flows over a 2m long flat plate with a free stream velocity of 7 m/s. Assume the width of the plate (into the paper) is 0.5m. If the plate is at constant temperature of 100C,

Air undergoes an isentropic process : Air undergoes an isentropic process from P_1 = 100 kPA and T_1 = 300 K to a final state where the temperature is 700 K. Assuming an ideal gas, find P_2 in kPa using both the ideal gas tables and assuming a constant specific heat ratio at the average ..
