Arankine cycle utilizes he at from a geothermal source; hence, steam is only available at 550°f and 900 psia into the turbine, whose efficiency is 92%. the condenser pressure is 2 psia, the pump efficiency is 87%, and there is a 150 psia pressure drop across the boiler. a) determine the enthalpies at all the states b) determine the cycle efficiency

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.

Vibration monitoring this technique uses the noise or vibration created by mechanical equipment and in seme cases by plant systems to detemine their actual condtion. a)- true b)- false

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
