Problem 9.032 si air enters the compressor of an ideal cold air-standard brayton cycle at 100 kpa, 300 k, with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/s. the compressor pressure ratio is 7, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1000 k. for k = 1.4 and cp = 1.005 kj/kg, calculate: (a) the percent thermal efficiency of the cycle. (b) the back work ratio. (c) the net power developed, in kw.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

How to increase the thermal officiency of an ideal simple rankino cycle? among these methods, which one is the best and why?
