1. A rigid tank whose volume is 10 liters is initially evacuated. A pinhole develops in the wall, and air from the surroundings at 1 bar, 25C enters the pressure in the tank becomes 1 bar. No significant heat transfer beween the contents of the tank and the surroundings occur. Assuming the ideal gas model with y 1.4 for the air, determine: (a) final temperature in the tank (b) amount of air that leaks into the tank
A gas turbine cycle is preferred over steam power plant in power station that is used to generate electricity. Your manger asked you to investigate and study the possibility of upgrading the power plant discussed in Project-1 to a gas turbine cycle or a combination of both cycles (Combined cycle). The head of the department asked you to deliver a report showing a professional evaluation and assessment for gas turbine cycle efficiency given the following information.First you selected a gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle and according to the manufacturing datasheets it has the following specifications:• A pressure ratio of 10.• Heat is added to the cycle at a rate of 500 kW• Air passes through the engine at a rate of 1 kg/s• The air at the beginning of the compression is at 70 kPa and 0 C.
