A Brayton cycle uses air and produces a net work of 14000 Btu/s with an inlet state of 60Â°F, 14.7 psi and a compression ratio of 16. The heat added in the combustion process is 400 Btu/lbm. If the thermal efficiency is 0.547 Determine: Using variable specific heat method 1) The highest temperature in the cycle 2) The mass flow rate of the air

Stages of compression and two stages of expansion : A Brayton gas turbine cycle has two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each stage of the compressor and turbine is 3. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300K and each stage of the turbine at 1200K..

The angular velocity of the sprinkler shaft is rpm : A lawn sprinkler with three identical arms is used to water a garden by rotating in a horizontal plane by the impulse caused by water flow. Water enters the sprinkler along the axis of rotation at a rate of 64L/s and leaves the 1.6?cm-diameter nozzle..

Estimate the fugacity for each species : Estimate the fugacity for each species in the following gases at 290 K and 800 bar: (a) Pure oxygen; (b) Pure nitrogen; (c) Oxygen and nitrogen in a 30% mol O2 and 70% mol N2 mixture using the Lewis-Randall rule, and (d) Oxygen and nitrogen mixture i..

Oral presentations they make on a fairly regular basis : Ask one or two engineers what kinds of oral presentations they make on a fairly regular basis. How long do they talk each time? What do they talk about? Who is their audience? Do they use any graphic aids or handouts while presenting? What kinds of f..

Rate at which heat is lost through casing of this turbine : A steam turbine operates with 1.6MPa and 350C steam at its inlet and saturated vapor at 30C at its exit. The mass flow of the steam is 23kg/s and the turbine produces 7,400kW of power. Determine the rate at which heat is lost through the casing of th..

Refrigerant such that pressure inside tank remains constant : A 4.56ft3 rigid tank contains saturated refrigerant-134a at 100 psia. Initially, 11% of the volume is occupied by liquid and the rest by vapor. A valve at the top of the tank is now opened, and vapor is allowed to escape slowly from the tank. Heat is..

Derive and draw the firms demand for labor : Derive and draw the firm's demand for labor while the firm's product is sold in a competitive market at $15, and the wage rate is $60.

Gas turbine engine has a pressure ratio : A gas turbine engine has a pressure ratio of 10, and the intake air is at 90 kPa and 280K. Both the compressor and turbine have an isentropic efficiency of 100% and a regenerator with an effectiveness of 0.8 is used. The highest temperature in the cy..
