Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The question involves calculating the duration fuel will last in a power station with 12% efficiency given its energy content and the daily energy demand. A misunderstanding in the conversion of units and efficiency calculation was identified in the attempt, highlighting the need for a corrected mathematical approach involving unit conversions and understanding power station efficiency.

Explanation:

A certain amount of fuel contains 15×102 Btu of energy and is converted into electric energy in a power station having a 12 percent overall efficiency. The average daily demand on the station is 5MW. To find out in how many days the fuel will be totally consumed, first, it's essential to calculate the total energy converted into electrical energy considering the efficiency of the power station. Given the power station efficiency, only 12% of the fuel energy is converted into electrical energy. The total energy available for conversion is 15×102 Btu.



First, convert 15×102 Btu into megajoules (MJ) as 1 Btu is approximately equal to 0.00105506 MJ. Therefore, the energy in MJ is 15×102 × 0.00105506 = 1.58259 MJ. Given that 12% of this energy is usable for electricity, the usable energy is 1.58259 MJ × 12% = 0.189911 MJ. Since 1 MW is 1 MJ/sec, and given the station's demand is 5MW over 24 hours, the total consumption is 5MW × 24h = 120 MW/day.



Then, to find out how many days the fuel would last, divide the total usable electrical energy by the daily consumption. However, an error in the calculation process prevents us from completing the result as intended initially. This calculation seems to involve a misunderstanding regarding the conversion of units and the calculation of efficiency. Therefore, a corrected approach should involve accurately converting the initial Btu to MJ or kWh, taking into account the efficiency correctly, and then calculating the duration of fuel consumption based on the daily energy output and demand.

An insulated rigid tank contains 5 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at a. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistor placed in the tank is connected to a 110-V source, and a current of 8 A flows through the resistor when the switch is turned on. (a) Determine how much time it will take to vaporize all the water in the tank, and (b) show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to the saturation lines.

Answers

Answer:

2.67 hours

Explanation:

If three quarters of the mass are in liquid phase, I have  a mass of water:

m1 = 3/4 * 5 = 3.75 kg

The latent heat of vaporization of water is of

ΔHvap = 2257 kJ/kg

The heat needed to vaporize it is:

Q = m * ΔHvap

Q = 3.75 * 2257 = 8464 kJ

If I have a resistor connected to 110 V, with a current of 8 A, the heat it dissipates through Joule effect will be:

P = I * V

P = 8 * 110 = 880 W = 0.88 kW

With that power it will take it

t = Q / P

t = 8464/0.88 = 9618 s = 160 minutes = 2.67 hours2.

Which of carbon will have higher strength but less ductility, 0.49% or 0.19%

Answers

Answer:

0.49%

Explanation:

Assuming this is about steel. Higher carbon steel tend to be harder and stronger, but that hardness makes them more brittle and less ductile. This is because with higher carbon concentrations there is more formation of pearlite, which has higher hardness than ferrite. Pearlite contains layers of cementite, which is a fragile material, so the presence of these microstructures will make the whole thing more brittle.

By increasing the cross-sectional area of the restriction, one can significantly increase the flow velocity. a) True b) False

So by increasing the cross sectional area of the restriction ,the velocity of the flow will decrease.

Determine the mass of a car that weight 3,500 lbs both in slugs and kilograms. The answer should be in kilograms.

Answers

Answer:

The mass of car in slug =108.5 slug.

The mass of car in kilogram =1575 Kg.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of car = 3500 lbs

We know that

1 lbs =0.031 slug

So

3500 lbs = 0.031 x 3500 slug

So the mass of car in slug =108.5 slug.

We know that

1 lbs =0.45 kilograms

so

3500 lbs = 3500 x 0.45 Kg

So the mass of car in kilogram =1575 Kg.

Consider a single pane window. The dimensions of the ¼-inch-thick glass window pane are about 0.9 m by 1.65 m. The surface temperatures of the glass will not be equal to the air temperature on the respective sides, as will be seen later in the course. For these conditions, the glass surface temperatures are approximately 1°F and -7°F. (At this time, we do not have the HT skills to calculate the surface temperatures.) Determine the heat transfer rate vector through the glass for these surface temperatures. Express your answer in vector notation. Your sketch should identify your coordinate system and your vector answer should agree with your sketch. For consistency, set your coordinate system such that the inside glass surface is at the origin and the outside surface is in the positive x direction (typically to the right!).

Answers

Answer:

q = (709*K*i + 0*j + 0*k)

Explanation:

1/4 inch is 6.35 mm = 0.00635 m

A = 0.9 * 1.65 = 1.48 m^2

t1 = 1 F = -17.2 C

t2 = -7 F = -21.7 C

The heat will be conducted through the glass. We use a frame of reference with the origin on the warmer side of the glass (t1) and the positive X axis pointing perpendicular to the glass towards the colder side.

The Fourier equation for plates (one dimensional form) is:

q = -K * dT / dx

We can simplify  dT/dx to ΔT/Δx if we assume the temperature changes linearly through the glass.

q = -K * ΔT/Δx

K is the thermal conductivity of the glass

ΔT = t2 - t1

ΔT = -21.7 + 17.2 = -4.5 C

Δx is the thickness of the glass

q = -K * -4.5 / 0.00635

q = 709 * k

The vector is: q = (709*K*i + 0*j + 0*k)

It has no components in Y or Z because there if no variation of temperature in those directions (the temperature of the glass is given as each face having a constant temperature throughout its area).

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The time of impact is .023 sec. Assuming the nail heads directly in the -j direction, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the hammer from the nail?

Answers

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically [tex]\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}[/tex]

The momentum of any body is defines as [tex]\overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}[/tex]

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}[/tex]

[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds[/tex]

A satellite would have a mass of 270 kg on the surface of Mars. Determine the weight of the satellite in pounds if it is in orbit 15,000 miles above the surface of the Earth.

Answers

Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf

Find the specific gravity, specific weight and specific volume of the fluid.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter(d)=1.1 m

mean velocity(u)=50 cm/s

mass flow rate(m)=110 kg/s

[tex]m=\rho \cdot A\cdot u[/tex]

where [tex]\rho [/tex] =density of fluid

[tex]110=\rho \times 0.95\times 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\rho =231.46 kg/m^3[/tex]

Therefore specific gravity[tex]=\frac{\rho }{\rho _{water}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{231.46}{1000}=0.231[/tex]

Specific weight[tex]=\rho \cdot g=231.46\times 9.81=2270.70 kg/m^2-s^2[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The natural angular frequency of the rod is 53.56 rad/sec

Explanation:

Since the beam is free at one end and fixed at the other hence the beam is a cantilevered beam as shown in the attached figure

We know that when a unit force is placed at the end of a cantilever the displacement of the free end is given by

[tex]\Delta x=\frac{PL^3}{3EI}[/tex]

Hence we can write

[tex]P=\frac{3EI\cdot \Delta x}{L^3}[/tex]

Comparing with the standard spring equation [tex]F=kx[/tex] we find the cantilever analogous to spring with [tex]k=\frac{3EI}{L^3}[/tex]

Now the angular frequency of a spring is given by

[tex]\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/tex]

where

'm' is the mass of the load

Thus applying values we get

[tex]\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3EI}{L^{3}}}{Area\times density}}[/tex]

[tex]\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3\times 20.5\times 10^{10}\times \frac{0.1\times 0.3^3}{12}}{5.9^{3}}}{0.3\times 0.1 \times 7830}}=53.56rad/sec[/tex]

The hoist of a crane consists of a 10 kW electric motor running at 1440 rpm drivine 300 mm diameter drunn through a 60:1 gear reduction unit. If the efficiency is 90% . calculate the load, in tonnes that can be lifted at the rated motor capacity, and the lifting speed.

Answers

Answer:

 Load =  2.42 tons

Lifting speed = 24 RPM

Explanation:

Given that

Power=10 KW

Efficiency = 90%

So the actual power,P=0.9 x 10 =9 KW

Speed of motor = 1440 RPM

Diameter of drum = 300 mm

radius =150 mm

G=60:1

Lets take speed of drum =N

We know that

[tex]G=\dfrac{Speed\ of\ motor}{Speed\ of\ drum}[/tex]

[tex]60=\dfrac{1440}{N}[/tex]

N=24 RPM

We know that

[tex]P=\dfrac{2\pi NT}{60}[/tex]

Where T is the torque

[tex]9000=\dfrac{2\pi \times 24\times T}{60}[/tex]

T=3580.98 N.m

Lets take load =F

So T= F x r

3580.98 = F x 0.15

F=23.87 KN

We know that

1 KN=0.109 tons

So 23.87 KN= 2.42 tons

So the load =  2.42 tons

Lifting speed = 24 RPM

Convert each of the following to three significant figures: (a) 20 lb.ft to N.m, (b) 450 Ib/ft^3 to kN/m^3, and (c) 15 ft/h to mm/s.

Answers

Answer:

(a)27.12 N-m (b) 69.96 [tex]KN/m^3[/tex] (c) 1.27 mm/sec

Explanation:

We have to convert

(a) 20 lb-ft to N-m

We know that 1 lb = 4.45 N

So 20 lb = 20×4.45 = 89 N

1 feet = 0.3048 m

So [tex]20lb-ft=20\times 4.45N\times 0.3048N=27.12N-m[/tex]

(b) 450 [tex]lb/ft^3[/tex] to KN/[tex]m^3[/tex]

We know that 1 lb = 4.45 N = 0.0044 KN

[tex]1ft^3=0.0283m^3[/tex]

So [tex]450lb/ft^3=\frac{450\times 0.0044KN}{0.0283m^3}=69.96KN/m^3[/tex]

(c) 15 ft/hr to mm/sec

We know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

And 1 hour = 60×60=3600 sec

So [tex]15ft/h=\frac{15\times 304.8mm}{3600sec}=1.27 mm/sec[/tex]

Answer:

a)20 lb.ft=27.2 N.m

b)[tex]450\dfrac{lb}{ft^3}=70.65\dfrac{KN}{m^3}[/tex]

c)15 ft/h = 1.26 mm/s

Explanation:

a)

As we know that

1 ft.lb= 1.36 N.m

So 20 lb.ft = 1.36 x 20 N.m

20 lb.ft=27.2 N.m

b)

We know that

[tex]1\dfrac{lb}{ft^3}=0.157\dfrac{KN}{m^3}[/tex]

So

[tex]450\dfrac{lb}{ft^3}=450\times 0.157\dfrac{KN}{m^3}[/tex]

[tex]450\dfrac{lb}{ft^3}=70.65\dfrac{KN}{m^3}[/tex]

c)

As we know that

1 ft/h=0.084 mm/s

So

15 ft/h = 0.084 x 15 mm/s

15 ft/h = 1.26 mm/s

the symbols have the usual meaning as

[tex]\rho [/tex] is density of the fluid

[tex]v [/tex] is the velocity of the fluid

[tex]\widehat{n}[/tex] is the direction vector of area over which the integration is carried out

As we see that the terms in the right hand side of the equation is not zero if the flow is unsteady or the velocity is changing in the control volume the term in the left is non zero hence the momentum is not conserved.

Consider a cylindrical nickel wire 2.1 mm in diameter and 3.2 × 104 mm long. Calculate its elongation when a load of 280 N is applied. Assume that the deformation is totally elastic and that the elastic modulus for nickel is 207 GPa (or 207 × 109 N/m2).

Answers

Answer:

Total elongation will be 0.012 m

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the cylinder = 2.1 mm

Length of wire [tex]L=3.2\times 10^4mm[/tex]

So radius [tex]r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.1}{2}=1.05mm=1.05\times 10^{-3}m[/tex]

Load F = 280 N

Elastic modulus = 207 Gpa

Area of cross section [tex]A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (1.05\times 10^{-3})^2=3.461\times 10^{-6}m^2[/tex]

We know that elongation in wire is given by [tex]\delta =\frac{FL}{AE}[/tex], here F is load, L is length, A is area and E is elastic modulus

[tex]7^2\times L_0=5^2\times L_f[/tex]

[tex]\frac{L_0}{L_f}=\frac{25}{49}[/tex]

Thus Engineering Strain [tex]\epsilon _E=\frac{L_f-L_0}{L_0}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{49}{25}-1=\frac{49-25}{25}=0.96[/tex]

Engineering stress[tex]=\frac{Load}{original\ Cross-section}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma _E=\frac{9\times 10^3}{\frac{\pi 7^2}{4}}=233.83 MPa[/tex]

(b)True stress

[tex]\sigma _T=\sigma _E\left ( 1+\epsilon _E\right )[/tex]

[tex]\sigma _T=233.83\times (1+0.96)=458.30 MPa[/tex]

A renewable energy source is defined as one that can be replenished in a short amount of time and is not permanently depleted by human usage. Renewable resources include things like solar and wind energy, which are continually available through natural processes such as sunlight and wind currents.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are not considered renewable energy sources because they are formed over millions of years from the buried remains of plants and animals. These fossil fuels are finite and once consumed, they do not replenish in a timeframe that is practical for human use, thereby classifying them as non-renewable.

When we use renewable resources, they offer a sustainable way to generate energy. Sustainable means using methods that do not completely use up or destroy natural resources, therefore capable of continuing for a long time. Examples of methods to harness renewable resources include solar panels for sunlight, wind turbines for wind, and hydroelectric power stations for flowing water.

A 3 kg model rocket is launched vertically and reaches
andaltitude of 60 m wih a speed of 28 m/s at the end of flight,
timet=0. As the rocket approaches its maximum altitude itexplodes
into two parts of masses Ma = 1 kg and Mb = 2 kg. Part A is
observed to strike the ground 74.4 m west of the launchpoint at t =
5.85 s. Determine the position of part B at thattime.

Answers

Answer:

Part B will be 37.2 m to the east of the launch point at an altitude of 80.8 m

Explanation:

At t0 the rocket is at 60 m and has a speed of 28 m/s.

Then it explodes when it reaches max altitude.

Since the rocket will have its engine off after t0 it will be in free fall.

It will be affected only by the acceleration of gravity, so it moves with constant acceleration, we can use this equation.

Y(t) = Y0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

Y0 = 60 m

V0 - 28 m/s

a = g = -9.81

We also have the equation for speed:

V(t) = V0 + a*t

And we know that when it reaches its highest point it ill have a speed of zero.

0 = V0 + a * t

a * t = -V0

t = -V0 / a

t = -28 / -9.81 = 2.85 s

This is the time after t0 when the engine ran of of fuel.

Using this value on the position equation:

Y(2.85) = 60 + 28*2.85 + 1/2*(-9.81)*2.85^2 = 100 m

At an altitude of 100 m it explodes in two parts. An explosion is like a plastic collision in reverse, momentum is conserved.

Since the speed of the rocket is zero at that point, the total momentum will be zero too.

Part A, with a mass of 1 kg fell 74.4 m west of the launch point. It fell in a free fall with a certain initial speed given to it by the explosion. This initial speed had vertical and horizontal components.

First the horizontal. In the horizontal there is no acceleration (ignoring aerodynamic drag).

X(t) = X1 + Vx1 * (t - t1)

X1 = 0 because it was right aboce the launch point. t1 is the moment of the explosion.

t1 = 2.85 s

We know it fell to the ground at t = 5.85 s

Vx1 * (t2 - t1) = X(t2) - X1

Vx1 = (X(t2) - X1) / (t2 - t1)

Vx1 = (74.4 - 0) / (5.85 - 2.85) = 24.8 m/s

Now the vertical speed

Y(t2) = Y1 + Vy1*(t2 - t1) + 1/2*a*(t2 - t1)^2

Vy1*(t2 - t1) = Y(t2) - 1/2*a*(t2 - t1)^2 - Y1

Y(t2) = 0 because it is on the ground.

Vy1 = (-1/2*a*(t2 - t1)^2 - Y1) / (t2 - t1)

Vy1 = (-1/2*-9.81*(5.85 - 2.85)^2 - 100) / (5.85 - 2.85) = -18.6 m/s

If the part A had a speed of (24.8*i - 18.6*j) m/s, we calcultate the speed of part 2

Horizontal:

vxA * mA + vxB * mB = 0

-vxA * mA = vxB * mB

vxB = -vxA * mA / mB

vxB = -24.8 * 1 / 2 = -12.4 m/s

Vertical:

vyA * mA + vyB * mB = 0

-vyA * mA = vyB * mB

vyB = -vyA * mA / mB

vyB = -(-16.6) * 1 / 2 = 8.3 m/s

Now that we know its speed and position at t1 we can know ehre it will be at t2

X(t) = 0 - 12.4 * (t - t1)

X(5.85) = -12.4 * (5.85 - 2.85) = -37.2 m

Y(t) = 100 + 8.3 * (t - t1) + 1/2 * (-9.8) * (t - t1)^2

Y(t) = 100 + 8.3 * (5.85 - 2.85) + 4.9 * (5.85 - 2.85)^2 = 80.8 m

Part B will be 37.2 m to the east of the launch point at an altitude of 80.8 m

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S_{10}=133.3m\\a_{10}=4.589m/s^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

In order to know the value of the speed at any time t, we need to integrate the acceleration. Once we get the speed vs time, we need to integrate again to get the distance traveled by the motorcycle vs time. So let's start with the speed first:

[tex]V(t) = \int {a(t)} \, dt =  \int {2+0.2*t} \, dt = 2*t + 0.2*\frac{t^{2}}{2}[/tex]

We will integrate once again to get distance:

[tex]S(t) = \int {V(t)} \, dt = \int {2*t+0.2*\frac{t^{2}}{2} } \, dt  = t^{2}+0.2*\frac{t^{3}}{6}[/tex]

Now we just need t evaluate S(10s):

S(10) = 133.3m

For the acceleration, we know that:

[tex]a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2}+a_{N}^{2}}[/tex]

where [tex]a_{t}(10)=2+0.2*(10)=4m/s^{2}[/tex]

and [tex]a_{N}(10)=\frac{V(10)^{2}}{R}=2.25m/s^{2}[/tex]

So, finally:

[tex]a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2}+a_{N}^{2}} = 4.589m/s^{2}[/tex]

The Energy Losses Associated with Valves and Fittings: a)- are generally associated with a K factor b)- are generally associated with an external surface finish. c)- both answers 1 and 2 d)- all of the above.

Answers

Answer:

a)Are generally associated with factor.

Explanation:

We know that losses are two types

1.Major loss  :Due to friction of pipe surface

2.Minor loss  :Due to change in the direction of flow

As we know that when any hindrance is produced during the flow of fluid then it leads to generate the energy losses.If flow is along uniform diameter pipe then there will not be any loss but if any valve and fitting placed is the path of fluid flow due to this direction of fluid flow changes and  it produce losses in the energy.

Lot' of experimental data tell us that loss in the energy due to valve and fitting are generally associated with K factor.These losses are given as

[tex]Losses=K\dfrac{V^2}{2g}[/tex]
