Answer:
The major financial flop that led to the end of the Sega Dreamcast and ultimately caused Sega to stop making game consoles altogether is:
3: A game called Shenmue, that cost more than $70 million to make, meant that everyone who owned a Dreamcast needed to buy two copies of the game just for Sega to make back the money they had spent to develop it-which didn't happen.
Explanation:
Shenmue, released on December 29, 1999, was created for Dreamcast by Suzuki. It was widely described as the most expensive video game ever produced. It had an estimated production and marketing cost of between US$47 and $70 million, according to the latest available data.
simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 295 and 1240 K. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 83 percent for the compressor and 87 percent for the turbine, determine (a) the air temperature at the turbine exit, (b) the net work output, and (c) the thermal efficiency.
Answer:
a) 764.45K
b) 210.48 kJ/kg
c) 30.14%
Explanation:
pressure ratio = 10
minimum temperature = 295 k
maximum temperature = 1240 k
isentropic efficiency for compressor = 83%
Isentropic efficiency for turbine = 87%
a) Air temperature at turbine exit
we can achieve this by interpolating for enthalpy
h4 = 783.05 kJ/kg ( calculated in the background ) at state 4 using Table A-17 for Ideal gas properties of air
T4 ( temperature at Turbine exit ) = 760 + ( 780 - 760 ) [tex](\frac{783.05-778.18}{800.13-778.18} )[/tex] = 764.45K
b) The net work output
first we determine the actual work input to compressor
Wc = h2 - h1 ( calculated values )
= 626.57 - 295.17 = 331.4 kJ/kg
next determine the actual work done by Turbine
Wt = h3 - h4 ( calculated values )
= 1324.93 - 783.05 = 541.88 kJ/kg
finally determine the network output of the cycle
Wnet = Wt - Wc
= 541.88 - 331.4 = 210.48 kJ/kg
c) determine thermal efficiency
лth = Wnet / qin ------ ( 1 )
where ; qin = h3 - h2
equation 1 becomes
лth = Wnet / ( h3 - h2 )
= 210.48 / ( 1324.93 - 626.57 )
= 0.3014 = 30.14%
