Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kPa and 17°C. This system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling. The pressure ratio across each compressor is 4; 300 kJ/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber (hint, this doesn’t mean the exit temperature is the same for both combustors); and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°C (hint, this means T5=T4+20°C). Determine this system’s thermal efficiency.

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

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]
