Question: 2.1

A Car Powered by Nuclear Fuel An average car consumes about 5 L of gasoline a day, and the capacity of the fuel tank of a car is about 50 L. Therefore, a car needs to be refueled once every 10 days. Also, the density of gasoline ranges from 0.68 to 0.78 kg/L, and its lower heating value is about

Verified Answer:

A car powered by nuclear energy comes equipped wit...

Question: 10.9

A Combined Gas–Steam Power Cycle Consider the combined gas–steam power cycle shown in Fig. 10–25. The topping cycle is a gas-turbine cycle that has a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor at 300 K and the turbine at 1300 K. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80 percent,

Verified Answer:

A combined gas–steam cycle is considered. The rati...

Question: 9.8

A Gas Turbine with Reheating and Intercooling An ideal gas-turbine cycle with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion has an overall pressure ratio of 8. Air enters each stage of the compressor at 300 K and each stage of the turbine at 1300 K. Determine the back work ratio and the

Verified Answer:

Verified Answer:

The gage pressure of a vacuum chamber is given. Th...

Question: 2.11

Acceleration of Air by a Fan A fan that consumes 20 W of electric power when operating is claimed to discharge air from a ventilated room at a rate of 0.25 kg/s at a discharge velocity of 8 m/s (Fig. 2–48).

Verified Answer:

A fan is claimed to increase the velocity of air t...

Question: 5.5

Acceleration of Steam in a Nozzle Steam at 250 psia and 700°F steadily enters a nozzle whose inlet area is 0.2 ft^2. The mass flow rate of steam through the nozzle is 10 lbm/s. Steam leaves the nozzle at 200 psia with a velocity of 900 ft/s. Heat losses from the nozzle per unit mass of the steam

Verified Answer:

Steam enters a nozzle steadily at a specified flow...

Question: 9.7

Actual Gas-Turbine Cycle with Regeneration Determine the thermal efficiency of the gas-turbine described in Example 9–6 if a regenerator having an effectiveness of 80 percent is installed.
