Moist air at 30 °C and 50% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 319.35 kg/min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate (condensed water) exits at 10 °C. Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. The pressure remains constant at 1 bar. Determine (a) the rate at which water is condensed, in kg/min, and (b) the heat transfer rate during the cooling, in kW

Saturated liquid Propane flows in to a valve. It enters at 375 psia, and leaves at 15 psia.

 

Saturated liquid Propane flows in to a valve. It enters at 375 psia, and leaves at 15 psia. Mass flow through the valve is 1.25 lbm/hr. Use EES and ‘Propane’ as your fluid.  This new device replaces the valve with a ‘magic’ isentropic device. Assuming the device operates at steady state, and PE and KE terms are insignificant, calculate how much power could be generated by the device (hp)?

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
a) For a pressure of 7 bar right after the first stage turbine in the ideal Rankine cycle, create
two plots: thermal efficiency as a function of the reheat temperature from 200 °C to
500 °C; and the net work, heat addition, and heat extraction on the same graph as a
function of the reheat temperature from 200 °C to 500 °C

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

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.

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.
