Explanation Given information: The flexural rigidity of the beam is E I . The length of the beam ( L ) is 2 a . Calculation: Show the free body diagram of the beam as in Figure 1. Refer Figure 1. Calculate the support reactions A and B ( R A and R B ) : Calculate the vertical forces by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of vertical forces is equal to 0. ∑ F y = 0 R A + R B − ( w × a ) = 0 R A + R B − w a = 0 R A + R B = w a (1) Calculate the moment about point A by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of moments about point A is equal to 0. ∑ M A = 0 ( R B × 2 a ) − ( w × a × a 2 ) = 0 2 a R B − w a 2 2 = 0 2 a R B = w a 2 2 R B = w a 2 2 2 a R B = w a 4 Substitute w a 4 for R B in Equation (1). R A + w a 4 = w a R A = w a − w a 4 R A = 3 w a 4 Show the free body diagram of the moment function of the beam’s cut segment as in Figure 2. Refer to Figure 2. Calculate the moment function with respect of the x distance M ( x ) : M ( x ) = 3 4 w a ( x − 0 ) − w 2 ( x − 0 ) 2 − ( − w 2 ) ( x − a ) 2 = 3 w a x 4 − w x 2 2 + w 2 ( x − a ) 2 Elastic Curve and slope is as follows: E I d 2 υ d x 2 = M ( x ) (2) Substitute [ 3 w a x 4 − w x 2 2 + w 2 ( x − a ) 2 ] for M ( x ) in Equation (2). E I d 2 υ d x 2 = 3 w a x 4 − w x 2 2 + w 2 ( x − a ) 2 (3) Integrate both sides of the Equation (3). E I d υ d x = 3 w a x 2 8 − w x 3 6 + w 6 ( x − a ) 3 + C 1 (4) Integrate both sides of the Equation (4). E I υ = 3 w a x 3 24 − w x 4 24 + w 24 ( x − a ) 4 + C 1 x + C 2 = w a x 3 8 − w x 4 24 + w 24 ( x − a ) 4 + C 1 x + C 2 (5) Boundary conditions are as follows: υ = 0 at x = 0 υ = 0 at x = 2 a Apply the first boundary condition in Equation (5). E I ( 0 ) = [ 0 − 0 + 0 + 0 + C 2 ] C 2 = 0 Substitute 0 for C 2 in Equation (5). E I υ = w a x 3 8 − w x 4 24 + w 24 ( x − a ) 4 + C 1 x + 0 = w a x 3 8 − w x 4 24 + w 24 ( x − a ) 4 + C 1 x (6) Apply the second boundary condition in Equation (6)

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and af…

4. An operating parameter often used by power plant engineers is the heat rate. The heat rate is defined as, HR Qbioler Wnet where Qbioler is the heat transfer rate (Btu/h) to the water in the boiler due to the combustion of a fuel and Wnet is the net power (kW) delivered by the plant. In comparison, the thermal efficiency of the power plant is defined as, nth Wnet Qbioler where the numerator and denominator have the same units. Consider a power plant that is delivering 1000 MW of power while utilizing a heat transfer rate of 3570 MW at the boiler. Determine the heat rate and thermal efficiency of this power plant.
