A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. The boiler operates at
10,000 kPa and 500 °C. The condenser operates at 10 kPa. The power output of the kycle is
175 MW. The turbine operates with an isentropic efficiency of 0.80, while the pump
operates with an isentropic efficiency of 0.90. Estimate the thermal efficiency of the cycle
and the heat transferred in the condenser.
Thermal efficiency of the cycle =
%
Heat transferred in the condenser =
kJ/kg

In the figure above on the right, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor at speed 4 m/sec.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 2m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass mz = 4m1. What then is the speed of block 3? Answer: 16 m/sec or 1.78 m/sec.arrow_forward
