36 - In a Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid, the temperatures at the compressor inlet and outlet are 285 K and 540 K, respectively. The temperatures at the turbine inlet and outlet are 1040 K and 550 K, respectively. Since the specific heats change with temperature, what is the thermal efficiency of the cycle? a) 0.546 B) 0.506 NS) 0.534 D) 0.504 TO) 0.563
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
