ICA 10-5
The worksheet shown here was designed to calculate the total pressure felt by an object submerged in a fluid as a function of the depth to which the object is submerged. The user will enter the surface pressure (in units of atmospheres), specific gravity of the fluid, and the gravity of the planet (in units of meters per second squared). All user input is shown in red. The worksheet will calculate the surface pressure in units of pascals, the density of the fluid in kilograms per cubic meter, and depth in units of feet. All conversions are shown in orange. Finally, the worksheet will calculate the total pressure in units of atmospheres.

The steam expands in the turbine and at an intermediate expansion pressure (0.1 Mpa) a fraction is extracted for a regeneration process in a surface regenerator. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 90% Design the simplified power plant schematic Analyze it on the basis of the attached figure Determine the power generated and the thermal efficiency of the plant ### Dados in the attached imagesarrow_forwardThe machine below forms metal plates through the application of force. Two toggles (ABC and DEF) transfer forces from the central hydraulic cylinder (H) to the plates that will be formed. The toggles then push bar G to the right, which then presses a plate (p) into the cavity, thus shaping it. In this case, the plate becomes a section of a sphere. If the hydraulic cylinder can produce a maximum force of F = 10 kN, then what is the maximum P value (i.e. Pmax) that can be applied to the plate when θ = 35°? Also, what are the compressive forces in the toggle rods in that situation?
