In an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat, superheated steam vapor
enters the turbine at 10 MPa and
480 °C, while the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expands
through the first-stage turbine to
0.7 MPa and then is reheated to 480 °C.
Calculate the total heat addition, net work of the cycle, heat
extraction through condenser,
and thermal efficiency of this ideal Rankine cycle with
reheat

When a can of beer is both full and empty, the center of mass is in the center of the can. As you drink your beer, however, the center of mass lowers to some minimum point, before returning back to the center. What is that minimum point?

1- what are radiation protection standards based on (where does the data come from)?
2- What are some of the typical symptoms/injuries from radiation exposure? (ie fatigue, nausea, blood changes are syptoms of radiation sickness whereas, cataracts, cancers, birth defects, etc. are some possible “injuries” from exposure)
3-What type(s) of effects are the radiation protection standards trying to prevent?
4- In general, how do limits for the general public compare to those for occupational exposure?

Introduction to Engineering Materials Question:
A beam of light hits a 2.48cm thick silicate glass plate at an angle of 74 degrees (as measured from the normal to the surface of the glass). If the coefficient of linear absorption is 0.027 cm-1 and the index of refraction is 1.488, what fraction of light is passed through the plate. The answer should have three decimals of accuracy.

8.20 A long composite cylinder is subjected to the external pressure loading as shown in the following figure. A assuming idealized perfect bonding between the two materials, the normal stress and displacement will be continuous across the interface r=r1 (see section 5.2) Under these conditions, determine the stress and displacement fields in each material. Text: Elasticity Third Edition - Martin H. Sadd There is not figure, EXAMPLE 1.5 is on page 25 from this text.

A noise source produces sound mainly at 2500 Hz and an SPL of 95 dB at the location of a worker. In order to decrease this worker’s noise exposure, the employer decides to build a brick wall (? = 400 kg/m2) between source and worker. What would the sound level at the worker’s location be after the wall is built. Assume that the wall is perfect and that the sound must go through it (not around it).

A Carnot heat engine operates between two thermal
reservoirs ( T1 > T2 ) to generate as much power as required as
to drive a machine ( input power requirement of 30 kW ) plus to
drive an ideal heat pump working between 2 temperature limits ( T3
and T4 ) ( T3 > T4 ) . The pump takes 17 kW of heat from the low
temperature reservoir where T1 = 1200K, T2= T3 =335 K, T4 = 278 K.
Determine :
1. shaft work output of heat engine.
2. heat intake of heat engine.
2. heat delivered by the heat pump.
please explain in an easy to understand way as my end sem is tomorrow morning. ??

A steam generator consists of a bank of stainless stell (k=15 W/m·K) tubes habing the core configuration of CF7.0-5/8J and an inner diameter of 13.8 mm. The tubes are installed in a plenum whose square cross section is 0.6 m on a side, thereby providing a frontal area of 0.36 m2. Combustion gases whose propertires may be aproximated as those of atmospheric air, enter the plenum at 900 k and pass in cross flow over the tubes at 3 kg/s. There are 11 rows of tubes in the gas flow direction. If saturated water at 2.455 bar experiences boiling in the tubes, what is the gas exit temperature? A convection coeficient of 10.000 W/m2·K is associated with boiling in the tubes.

An insulated tank containing 0.5m3 of R-134 at 500 kPa and 90% quality is connected to an initially evacuated insulated piston-cylinder device. The force balance on the piston is such that a pressure of 120kPa is required to lift the piston. The valve is then opened slightly and part of the refrigerant flows to the cylinder, pushing the piston up and the final cylinder volume is 1.5 m 3 . The process ends when the pressure in the tank drops to 120kPa. Assume the refrigerant in the tank undergoes an isentropic process. (a) Determine the quality in the tank and the cylinder. 0.896, 0.92 (b) Calculate the boundary work 280.8 kJ (Expansion) (c) Determine the entropy generated during the process 0.1973 kJ/K

Metal hydrides are metal alloys that can store significant quantities of hydrogen in their atomic lattice. For this reason, they are considered potentially attractive for the on-board storage of hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. A certain metal hydride alloy can store 2 wt% hydrogen and has a density (including the hydrogen) of 12 g?cm3. Treating hydrogen as an ideal gas, what pressure would beneeded tocompressgaseous hydrogen tothesameequivalent concentration thatit attains when absorbed in the metal hydride?
