A simple non-ideal Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates between the pressure limits of 15 MPa in the boiler and 125 kPa in the condenser. Saturated steam enters the turbine. Irreversibilities in the turbine cause the steam quality at the outlet of the turbine to be 70 percent. Determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Use steam tables. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is %. The thermal efficiency of the cycle is

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

You are making beer. the first step is filling the glass carboy with the liquid wort. the internal diameter of the carboy is 15 in., and you wish to fill it up to a depth of 2 ft. if your wort is drawn from the kettle using a siphon process that flows at 3 gpm, how long will it take to fill?
