D.25 A steam power generation system operates using a Rankine cycle. The water leaves the boiler as a saturated vapor at 3 MPa. The working fluid leaves the turbine and enters the condenser at 10 kPa. The pump has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Both can be considered adiabatic. You may assume a constant pressure boiler and condenser. a) Find the actual specific pump work. (kJ/kg) b) Find the actual specific turbine work (kJ/kg) c) Find the actual specific heat rejected from the condenser (kJ/kg)

Four objects are being tested to see how they are affected by fluid friction. object w has a surface area of 4.5 cm2, object x has a surface area of 2.5 cm2, object y has a surface area of 6.2 cm2, and object z has a surface area of 3 cm2. which object would experience the most fluid friction?

The crank oa rotates in the vertical plane with a constant clockwise angular velocity ω0 of 5.6 rad/s. for the position where oa is horizontal, calculate the force under the light roller b of the 10.6-kg slender bar ab.

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
