Substitute Q in for E in , W b , o u t for E out , and Δ U for Δ E system in Equation (I) Q i n − W b , o u t = Δ U Q i n = m ( u 3 − u 1 ) + W b , o u t (II) Here, the mass of the piston cylinder device is m , the final specific internal energy is u 3 , the initial specific internal energy is u 1 , and the work done during the process is W b , o u t . Determine the initial volume of the air. ν 1 = m R T 1 P 1 (III) Here, the mass of a piston-cylinder device is m , the initial pressure of a piston-cylinder device is P 1 , the initial temperature is T 1 , and the universal gas constant for air is R . Calculate the final volume which is doubles of initial volume. ν 3 = 2 × ν 1 (IV) Determine the final temperature of an ideal gas for polytrophic process. P 1 ν 1 T 1 = P 3 ν 3 T 3 T 3 = P 3 ν 3 P 1 ν 1 T 1 (V) Here, the initial pressure of air is P 1 , the final pressure of air is P 3 , the initial volume of air is ν 1 , and the final volume of air is ν 3 . Determine the work done during the constant pressure process. W b , o u t = ∫ 1 2 P d ν = P ( ν 3 − ν 1 ) (VI) Conclusion: From the Table A-1, “Molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties” to obtain the value of gas constant for air as 0.2870 kJ / kg ⋅ K . Substitute 3 kg for m , 0.2870 kJ / kg ⋅ K for R, 27 ° C for T 1 , and 200 kPa for P 1 in Equation (I). ν 1 = ( 3 kg ) ( 0.2870 kJ / kg ⋅ K ) ( 27 ° C ) 200 kPa = ( 0.861 kJ / kg ⋅ K × ( 1 kPa ⋅ m 3 1 kJ ) ) ( 27 ° C+273 ) 200 kPa = 258

Homework#5

A closed-cycle gas turbine unit operating with maximum and minimum temperature of 760oC and 20oC has a pressure ratio of 7/1. Calculate the ideal cycle efficiency and the work ratio

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple, ideal Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 45 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 500°C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine The thermal efficiency of the cycle,The mass flow rate of the steam and the temperature rise of the cooling water
