In a marine gas turbine unit a high-pressure turbine drives the compressor, and a low-pressure turbine drives the propeller through suitable gearing. The overall pressure ratio is 4/1, and the maximum temperature is 650⁰C. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor, High Pressure turbine, and Low Pressure turbine are 0.8, 0.83 and 0.85 respectively, and the mechanical efficiency of both shafts is 98%.

Calculate the pressure entering the Low Pressure turbine when the air intake conditions are 1.01 bar and 25⁰C. Calculate also the thermal efficiency and the shaft power when the mass air flow is 60 kg/s. Neglect kinetic energy changes, and the pressure loss in combustion.

For all compression processes take c_p = 1.005 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.4; for the combustion and expansion processes take c_p = 1.15 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.333. Neglect the mass of fuel.

You are using a silver spoon to stir water that just started boiling so that you can achieve a more even heat distribution in your water. The spoon is partially immersed in boiling water and a thermometer in your kitchen reads 27 °C.

Assignment 5 Directions: Read Chapter 8 of the text. This assignment will be divided in two parts (Part A and Part B), but will be submitted as one document - Make sure that you have also included the name of the assignment and your name on the assignment sheet. Text is FROM PRODUCTS TO SERVICES by Laurie Young.

Differences in Product and Service Marketing Select 5 of the 10 subcategory descriptions of differentiating product and service marketing concepts found on pages 271-282 of the text, and compose a written report which highlights the difference between product and service marketing. Include either illustrations from the text or examples from your own experience that will provide support for your explanations. The assignment will be also assessed on proper spelling, grammar and paragraph organization. Part A should be a minimum of 3 pages in length (1.5 line spacing, 12 pt. type).

· Part B. Marketing Strategies There are 8 marketing strategies that are described on pages 289-301 of Chapter 8 of the text. Create a chart/table that summarizes the key points of this information that could be used as a quick reference for reviewing and selecting a marketing option. The chart/table should be organized to include the name of each strategy, a short description of each strategy, and one advantage and one disadvantage of each strategy. In addition to content, the assignment will be assessed on proper spelling and grammar, chart/table organization, labeling and identification. Write the answers on a word document and post it to the Dropbox Assignment 5 at D2L.

Discussion 3 Search the internet to find a marketing strategy that is NOT described on pages 289-301 of Chapter 8. Explain the strategy, advantages and disadvantages. Please include your source (e.g. the link of the website). Post your findings to the discussion board and Respond to your classmates
