Discussion problem: the ideal regenerative rankine cycle with an open feedwater heater uses water as the working fluid. the turbine inlet is operated at 500 psia and 600of and the condenser at 5 psia. steam is supplied to the open feedwater heater at 40 psia. determine the work produced by the turbine, the work consumed by the pumps, the heat rejected in the condenser for this cycle per unit of flow through the boiler

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
