Air enters the compressor of an air-standard Brayton cycle with a volumetric flow rate of 60 m3/s at 0.8 bar, 280 K. The compressor pressure ratio is 20, and the maximum cycle temperature is 2100 K. For the compressor, the isentropic efficiency is 92% and for the turbine the isentropic efficiency is 95%. Determine (a) the net power developed, in MW. (b) the rate of heat addition in the combustor, in MW. (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. 9.55 Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at p1 5 14 lbf/in.2, T1 5 5208R, and a volumetric flow rate of 10,000 ft3/min. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 83 and 87%, respectively. The compressor pressure ratio is 14 and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 25008R. On the basis of an air-standard analysis, calculate (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. (b) the net power developed, in hp. (c) the rates at which entropy is produced within the compressor and turbine, each in hp/8R.

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.
