Acombined cycle power plant has a net power output of 287 mw. air enters the compressor of the brayton cycle at 280 k and 100 kpa. the pressure ratio is 21, the turbine inlet temperature is 1600 k and the gases leaving the turbine are used to heat the steam of the rankine cycle to 500oc and 4 mpa. the combustion gas leaves the heat exchanger (hrsg) at 400 k and the condenser pressure is 10 kpa. the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 90%, the gas turbine efficiency is 91%, the steam turbine efficiency is 94% and the pump efficiency is 68%. determine: heat input in the combustion chamber, qin (in kw) the overall efficiency of the cycle.

Line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture is known as: a) liquidus b) solidus c) tie line d) none of the mentioned

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2
