Acombined power cycle relies on a gas turbine cycle and a rankine cycle. heat is fed to the gas turbine combustor at a rate of 50 mw. the gas turbine cycle operates at an efficiency of 0.35. the gas that exhausts from the turbine is still hot and is used to boil water in the rankine cycle. the rankine cycle operates at an efficiency of 0.42.

find:
a) the total power produced by the combined cycle

b) the efficiency of the combined cycle
c) the rate of heat rejection from the rankine cycle

d) if the rankine boiler is operating at a pressure of 2 mpa and the steam enters the turbine at a temperature of 300 c, what is the mass flow rate of water through the rankine engine? you may assume that the water leaving the pump is saturated liquid at 2 mpa.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

Air at a pressure of 1atm and a temperature of 40 c is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 120 c. the plate has a length of 0.40m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.15m. the reynolds number based on the plate length is 50, 000. what is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? if the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm what is the rate of heat transfer?
