A power cycle operating at steady state receives energy by heat transfer at a rate Q˙ H at TH = 1500 K and rejects energy by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at a rate Q˙ C at TC = 500 K. For each of the following cases, determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, irreversibly, or is impossible. If it is impossible, state why it is impossible. (a) Q˙ H = 550 kW, Q˙ C = 100 kW (b) Q˙ H = 500 kW, W˙ cyc = 200 kW, Q˙ C = 200 kW (c) W˙ cyc = 300 kW, Q˙ C = 150 kW (d) Q˙ H = 500 kW, Q˙ C = 200 kW

(a) The cycle is not possible.

(b) The cycle operates irreversibly.

(d) The cycle is not possible.

Explanation:

Given -

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 1500K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 500K

(a)

Heat transfer at hot reservoir, Qh = 550 kW

Heat transfer at cold reservoir, Qc = 100 kW

Maximum net work -

Wcycle = Qh - Qc

Wcycle = 550 - 100 = 450kW

Maximum efficiency -

ηmax = 1 - Tc/Th

ηmax = 1 - 500/1500 = 0.667

ηmax = 66.7%

η(actual) = Wcycle/ Qh

η(actual) = 450 kW/ 550 = 0.8

η(actual) = 80%

Since the actual efficiency is higher than the maximum efficiency, the cycle is not possible.

(b)

Heat transfer at hot reservoir, Qh = 500 kW

Heat transfer at cold reservoir, Qc = 200 kW

Maximum net work -

Wcycle = Qh - Qc

Wcycle = 500 - 200 = 300kW

Maximum efficiency -

ηmax = 1 - Tc/Th

ηmax = 1 - 500/1500 = 0.667

ηmax = 66.7%

η(actual) = Wcycle/ Qh

η(actual) = 300 kW/ 500 = 0.6

η(actual) = 60%

Since the actual efficiency is lower than the maximum efficiency, the cycle operates irreversibly.

(c)

Heat transfer at hot reservoir, Qh = 300 kW

Heat transfer at cold reservoir, Qc = 150 kW

Maximum net work -

Wcycle = Qh - Qc

Wcycle = 300 - 150 = 150 kW

Maximum efficiency -

ηmax = 1 - Tc/Th

ηmax = 1 - 500/1500 = 0.667

ηmax = 66.7%

η(actual) = Wcycle/ Qh

η(actual) = 150 kW/ 300 = 0.5

η(actual) = 50%

Since the actual efficiency is lower than the maximum efficiency, the cycle operates irreversibly.

(d)

Heat transfer at hot reservoir, Qh = 500 kW

Heat transfer at cold reservoir, Qc = 100 kW

Maximum net work -

Wcycle = Qh - Qc

Wcycle = 500 - 100 = 400kW

Maximum efficiency -

ηmax = 1 - Tc/Th

ηmax = 1 - 500/1500 = 0.667

ηmax = 66.7%

η(actual) = Wcycle/ Qh

η(actual) = 400 kW/ 500 = 0.8

η(actual) = 80%

Since the actual efficiency is higher than the maximum efficiency, the cycle is not possible.

Ashielded metal arc-welding operation is accomplished in a work cell by a fitter and a welder. the fitter takes 5.5 min to load components into the welding fixture at the beginning of the work cycle, and 1.5 min to unload the completed weldment at the end of the cycle. the total ength of the weld seams 1200 mm, and the travel speed used by the welder averages 300 mm/min. every 600 mm of seam length, the welding stick must be changed, which takes 0.8 min. while the fitter is working, the welder is idle (resting): and while the welder is working the fitter is idle. (a) determine the average arc-on time as a fraction of the work cycle time. (b) how much improvement in arc-on time would result if the welder used flux-cored arc welding (manually operated), given that the spool of weld wire must be changed every 10 weldments, and it takes the welder 5.0 min to accomplish the change? (c) what are the production rates for these two cases (weldments completed per hour)? attach your work and solutions.
