Air enters the compressor of an air-standard Brayton cycle with a volumetric flow rate of 60 m /s at 100 bar, 320 K. The compressor pressure ratio is 20, and the maximum cycle temperature is 2200 K. For the compressor, the isentropic efficiency is 92% and for the turbine, the isentropic efficiency is 95%. Determine (a). the net power developed, in MW, (b). the back work ratio, and (c). the thermal efficiency of the cycle

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

Manometers are good examples of measuring instruments, nowadays they are not as common as before. a)-capacitive probe gauges b)-gravitational gauges deformation ) gauges d)-digital gauges

Acertain flow of air (at stp) has a velocity distribution given by v i (in ft/s). if this flow is going through a 4 ft square area in the yz-plane (centered at the origin), what is the mass flow rate (in lbm/s)?
