Afossil-fired power plant uses an ideal saturated rankine cycle with a steam flow rate of 6500 ibm/hr. the boiler pressure is 1500 psia; and the condenser pressure is 2 psia. the plant capacity factor is 80%. determine: (a) the feedwater pump specific work, (b) the net power output (in kw or mw) of the cycle, and (c) the plant thermodynamic efficiency

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

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

Which of the following refers to refers to how well the control system responds to sudden changes in the system. a)-transient regulation b)- distributed regulation c)-constant regulation d)-steady-state regulation
