A freight train and a passenger train share the same rail track. The freight train leaves station A at 8:00 A.M. The train travels at a speed of 45 km/h for the first 10 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 60 km/h. At 8:35 A.M., the passenger train leaves station A. The pas¬senger train travels first at a speed of 75 km/h for 5 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 105 km/h. Determine the location of the siding where the freight train will have to be parked to allow the faster passenger train to pass through. As a safety precaution, it is determined that the time headway between the two trains should not be allowed to fall below 5 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

74.2 km from station A.

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with the station at the origin and the X axis pointing in the direction the trains run.

The freight train leaves at 8 AM and travels 10 minutes at 45 km/h.

For this problem it is better to convert the speeds to km/min

45 km/h = 0.75 km/min

The equation for position under constant speed is:

X(t - t0) = X0 + v0 * (t - t0)

Since we know the time it will stop moving at this speed:

X(10 - 0) = 0 + 0.75 * (10 - 0) = 7.5 km

After it ran those 7.5 km it will keep running at 60 km/h.

60 km/h = 1 km/min

The position equation for it is now:

X(t - 10) = 7.5 + 1 * (t - 10)

The passenger train leaves the station at 8:35 AM. It travels at 75 km/h for 5 minutes.

75 km/h = 1.25 km/min

After those 5 minutes it will have traveled:

X(40 - 35) = 0 + 1.25 * (40 - 35) = 6.25 km

Then it travels at 105 km/h

105 km/h = 1.75 km/min

Its position equation is now:

X(t - 40) = 6.25 + 1.75 * (t - 40)

Equating both positions we find the time at which they would meet:

7.5 + 1 * (t - 10) = 6.25 + 1.75 * (t - 40)

7.5 + t - 10 = 6.25 + 1.75*t - 70

t - 1.75*t = 6.25 - 70 +10 - 7.5

-0.75*t = -61.25

t = 61.25 / 0.75

t = 81.7 minutes

The freight train will have to be parked 5 minutes before this at t = 76.7 minutes.

At that moment the freight train will be at:

X(76.7 - 10) = 7.5 + 1 * (76.7 - 10) = 74.2 km

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re Durho/μ whereD is pipe diameter, u is fluid velocity, rho is fluid density, and μ is fluid viscosity.When the value of the Reynolds number is less than about 2100, the flow is laminar—that is, the fluid flows in smooth streamlines. For Reynolds numbers above 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by a great deal of agitation. Liquid methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) flows through a pipe with an inner diameter of 2.067 inches at an average velocity of 0.48 ft/s. At the fluid temperature of 20°C the density of liquid MEK is 0.805 g/cm3 and the viscosity is 0.43 centipoise [1 cP 1:00 103 kg/ m s]. Without using a calculator, determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Show your calculations.

Answers

The Reynolds number is approximately 14,067, indicating turbulent flow of MEK through the pipe, as Re > 2100 denotes turbulence.

let's calculate the Reynolds number for the flow of liquid methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) through the pipe.

Given:

- Pipe diameter (D) = 2.067 inches = 0.0512 meters (converted from inches to meters)

- Fluid velocity (u) = 0.48 ft/s = 0.1463 meters/s (converted from feet per second to meters per second)

- Fluid density (ρ) = 0.805 g/cm³ = 805 kg/m³ (converted from grams per cubic centimeter to kilograms per cubic meter)

- Fluid viscosity (μ) = 0.43 centipoise = 0.43 x 10²  kg/(m*s)(converted from centipoise to kg/(m*s))

The Reynolds number (Re) is calculated as:

[tex]\[ Re = \frac{(D \cdot u \cdot \rho)}{\mu} \][/tex]

Plugging in the values:

[tex]\[ Re = \frac{(0.0512 \, \text{m} \cdot 0.1463 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 805 \, \text{kg/m³})}{0.43 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/(m*s)}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[\text{Re} = \frac{(0.0074991 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \cdot 805 \, \text{kg/m}^3)}{0.43 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/(m*s)}}\]\[\text{Re} = \frac{6.0498755 \, \text{kg/(m*s)}}{0.43 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/(m*s)}}\]\[\text{Re} \approx \frac{6.0498755}{0.00043}\]\[\text{Re} \approx 14,067.35\][/tex]

Since the calculated Reynolds number is greater than 2100 (Re > 2100), the flow of MEK through the pipe is turbulent.

A car starts out from rest (zero velocity) at an elevation of 500 m and drives up a hill to reach a final elevation of 2000m and a final velocity of 20 m/s. At the same time the entire car heats up so the Internal Energy of the car increases by 100 kJ. What is the total energy change of the car if its mass is 2000 kg?

Answers

Answer:29,930 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Car starts with an initial elevation of 500 m and drives up a hill to reach a final elevation of 2000 m

Final velocity (V)=20 m/s

Energy of car increases by 100 kJ

mass of car(m)=2000 kg

[tex]Total Energy =\Delta PE+\Delta KE+\Delta U[/tex]

[tex]\Delta PE=mg(\Delta h)=2000\times 9.81\times (2000-500)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta PE=29,430 kJ[/tex]

[tex]\Delta KE=m\frac{v_2^2-v_1^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta KE=2000\times \frac{20^2-0^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta KE=400 kJ[/tex]

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot-water tank from 60°F to 110°F. The specific heat of water is approximated as a constant, whose value is 0.999 Btu/·lbmR at the average temperature of (60 + 110)/2 = 85ºF. In fact, c remains constant at 0.999 Btu/lbm·R (to three digits) from 60ºF to 110ºF. For this same temperature range, the density varies from 62.36 lbm/ft3 at 60ºF to 61.86 lbm/ft3 at 110ºF. We approximate the density as remaining constant, whose value is 62.17 lbm/ft3 at the average temperature of 85ºF.

Answers

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

[tex]1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3[/tex]

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu

The two basic network administration models are ____ and ____

Answers

Final answer:

The two basic network administration models are centralized and decentralized, each with distinct advantages and challenges that affect network performance, security, and scalability.

Explanation:

The two basic network administration models are centralized and decentralized. In a centralized model, network control and decision-making are located at a single point, typically within a dedicated device or group of servers. Conversely, a decentralized model distributes control across multiple nodes, allowing for individual nodes to operate independently while still being part of the overall network.

Understanding these models is crucial for designing efficient networks that cater to specific organizational needs and for implementing dynamics on network models, such as discrete state/time models or continuous state/time models. Each model presents different advantages and challenges that can influence network performance, security, and scalability.

Answers

Answer:

water=14.1 kg

air=0.1348kg

Explanation:

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.

To solve this exercise we must find the specific volume of water and air in the two states and then subtract them and multiply them by the volume of the tank to find the change in mass, the following equation is inferred

Δm=V(ρ2-ρ1)

Where V= tank volume=500L=0.5m^3

ρ2= density of fluid in state 2

ρ1=density of fluid in state 1

Δm=change of mass

for water

ρ1=971.8kg/m^3(80C)

ρ2=1000kg/m^3(5C)

Δm=0.5(1000-971.8)

Δm=14.1 kg

for air

ρ1=0.9994kg/m^3(80C)

ρ2=1.269kg/m^3(5C)

Δm=0.5(1.269-0.9994)

Δm=0.1348kg

The thermal conductivity of a sheet of rigid, extruded insulation is reported to be k= 0.029 W/ m K. The measured temperature difference across a 25-mm-thick sheet of the material is T1 - T2 = 12°C. a. What is the heat flux through a 3 mx 3 m sheet of the insulation? b. What is the rate of heat transfer through the sheet of insulation? c. What is the thermal resistance of the sheet due to conduction?

Answers

Answer:

a. The heat flux through the sheet of insulation is 19.92 W/m^2

b. The rate of heat transfer through the sheet of insulation is 125.28 W

c. The thermal resistance of the sheet due to the conduction is 0.86 Km^2/W.

Explanation:

From the heat conduction Fourier's law it can be state for a wall of width e and area A :

q = Q/ΔT  = k*A* (T2-T1)/e

Where q is the rate of heat transfer, k the conductivity constant, and T2 and T1 the temperatures on the sides of the wall. Replacing the values in the correct units, we obtained the rate of heat transfer:

q =  0.029 W/*mK * (3m*3m) * (12°K) / (0.025m)

(The difference in temperatures in Kelvin is the same than in Celcius degres).

q =  0.029 W/*mK * (9 m^2) * (12°K) / (0.025m)  = 125.28 W

The heat flux is calculated by dividing q by the area of the wall:

q/A = k* (T2-T1)/e = 0.029 W/*mK  * (12°K) / (0.025m) = 19.92 W/m^2

The thermal resistance of the sheet is defined as:

R = e / k

Replacing the values in the proper units:

R = 0.025 m /  0.029 W/*mK = 0.86 Km^2/W

What is the movement of the piston from top dead center (TDC) to bottom dead center (BDC) called?

Answers

Answer:

Piston movement of TDC to BDC is called stroke.

Explanation:

Step1

In any engine fuel is burned inside the cylinder and forces the piston to move from top dead center to bottom dead center. First piston is moved from top dead center to bottom dead center to allow the suction of fuel inside the cylinder. Then piston move toward top dead center and compresses the fuel. This process is called compression of fuel. Then fuel is burned with the spark inside the cylinder and the piston moves toward bottom dead center. This process is called expansion process. Last process is the expansion process that allows the exhaust out of the cylinder.

Step2

The piston reciprocates from bottom position of the cylinder to top position of the cylinder and vice versa. So, the motion of piston from top center to bottom center is called stroke. One movement of piston from TDC to BDC is called one stroke. There are total four strokes in petrol engine and diesel engine. So, two strokes are equal to one cycle or one rotation of crank and four strokes are equal to two rotation of crank.

Thus, piston movement of TDC to BDC is called stroke.

Answer:

The return stroke

Explanation:

Motion from top dead center to bottom dead center is called the return stroke because motion from the bottom to the top is the forward stroke.

An engineer measures a sample of 1200 shafts out of a certain shipment. He finds the shafts have an average diameter of 2.45 inch and a standard deviation of 0.07 inch. Assume that the shaft diameter follows a Gaussian distribution. What percentage of the diameter of the total shipment of shafts will fall between 2.39inch and 2.60 inch?

Answers

Answer: 78.89%

Explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=  1200

Sample mean : [tex]\overline{x}=2.45 [/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma=0.07[/tex]

We assume that it follows Gaussian distribution (Normal distribution).

Let x be a random variable that represents the shaft diameter.

Using formula, [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex], the z-value corresponds to 2.39 will be :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{2.39-2.45}{0.07}\approx-0.86[/tex]

z-value corresponds to 2.60 will be :-

[tex]z=\dfrac{2.60-2.45}{0.07}\approx2.14[/tex]

Using the standard normal table for z, we have

P-value = [tex]P(-0.86<z<2.14)=P(z<2.14)-P(z<-0.86)[/tex]

[tex]=P(z<2.14)-(1-P(z<0.86))=P(z<2.14)-1+P(z<0.86)\\\\=0.9838226-1+0.8051054\\\\=0.788928\approx0.7889=78.89\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage of the diameter of the total shipment of shafts will fall between 2.39 inch and 2.60 inch = 78.89%

an aluminum bar 125mm (5in) long and having a square cross section 16.5mm (.65in) on an edge is pulled in tension with a load of 66,700 N (15000lb) and experiences an elongation of .43mm (1.7*10^-2 in ). assuming that the deformation is entirely elastic, calculate the modulus of elasticity of the aluminum.

Answers

Final answer:

The modulus of elasticity for the aluminum bar is calculated using the relationship between stress and strain, given by Young's modulus formula. The given values are substituted in the formula to find that the modulus of elasticity for the aluminum is approximately 60 GPa.

Explanation:

Calculating the Modulus of Elasticity for Aluminum

To calculate the modulus of elasticity (also known as Young's modulus) for the aluminum bar, we can use the relationship described by Hooke's Law for elastic deformation, where stress is directly proportional to strain. The formula to find Young's modulus (Y) is:

Y = (F \/ A) \/ (\u0394L \/ L0)

Here, F is the force applied, A is the cross-sectional area, \u0394L is the change in length, and L0 is the original length of the bar.

Using the given values:

Force (F) = 66,700 NCross-sectional area (A) = 16.5 mm x 16.5 mm = 272.25 mm2 (or 272.25 x 10-6 m2)Change in length (\u0394L) = 0.43 mm (or 0.43 x 10-3 m)Original length (L0) = 125 mm (or 0.125 m)

The calculation is as follows:

Y = (66,700 N / 272.25 x 10-6 m2) / (0.43 x 10-3 m / 0.125 m)

When the calculations are done, we find that the modulus of elasticity for the aluminum bar is approximately 60 GPa (Gigapascals), which is within the typical range for aluminum.

Calculate the modulus of elasticity of aluminum given specific values for force, length, cross-sectional area, and elongation during tension.

Young's modulus is a measure of a material's stiffness and is calculated using the formula: Y = (F * Lo) / (A * AL). Substituting the given values, we can find the modulus of elasticity of aluminum to be approximately 68 GPa.

The searchlight on the boat anchored 2000 ft from shore
isturned on the automobile, which is traveling along the
straightroad at a constant speed of 80 ft/s. Determine the
angularrate of rotation of the light when the automobile is r =
3000 ftfrom the boat.

Answers

Final answer:

The angular speed of a flywheel rotating at 300 revolutions per minute is calculated by converting revolutions to radians and minutes to seconds, resulting in an angular speed of 10π rad/s.

Explanation:

The question asks to determine the angular rate of rotation of a searchlight on a boat when targeting an automobile that is 3000 ft away and moving at 80 ft/s. This involves understanding the relationship between linear velocity, radius, and angular velocity, which is a crucial concept in trigonometry and physics.

To find the angular speed of the flywheel rotating at 300 revolutions per minute, we first convert revolutions per minute (rpm) to radians per second, knowing that one revolution is 2π radians and there are 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore:

Angular speed = 300 rpm × (2π radians/revolution) × (1 minute/60 seconds) = 300 × 2π / 60 rad/s = 10π rad/s.

In an oscillating LC circuit, L ! 25.0 mH and C ! 7.80 mF.

(d) If the charge on the capacitor is given by q ! Q cos(vt $ f), what is the phase angle f? (e) Suppose the data are the same, except that the capacitor is discharging at t ! 0.What then is f?

Answers

Answer:

a) 926 μJ

b) 3.802 mC

c) 8.61 A

d) 0.0721

e) 3.2137

Explanation:

The energy in the inductor is

[tex]El = \frac{1}{2}*L*I^2[/tex]

[tex]El = \frac{1}{2}*25*10^{-3}*(9.2*10^{-3})^2 = 1.06*10^{-6} J = 1.06 \mu J[/tex]

The energy store in a capacitor is

[tex]Ec = \frac{1}{2}*C*V^2[/tex]

The voltage in a capacitor is

V = Q/C

[tex]V = \frac{3.8*10^{-3}}{7.8*10^{-3}} = 0.487 V[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]Ec = \frac{1}{2}*7.8*10^{-3}*0.487^2 = 9.256*10^{-4} J = 925.6 \mu J[/tex]

The total energy is Et = 925.6 + 1.1 = 926.7 μJ

At a certain point all the energy of the circuit will be in the capacitor, at this point it will have maximum charge

[tex]Ec = \frac{1}{2}*C*V^2[/tex]

V = Q/C

[tex]Ec = \frac{1}{2}*C*(\frac{Q}{C})^2[/tex]

[tex]Ec = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{Q^2}{C}[/tex]

[tex]Q^2 = 2*Ec*C[/tex]

[tex]Q = \sqrt{2*Ec*C}[/tex]

[tex]Q = \sqrt{2*926*10{-6}*7.8*10^{-3}} = 3.802 * 10{-3} C = 3.802 mC[/tex]

When the capacitor is completely empty all the energy will be in the inductor and current will be maximum

[tex]El = \frac{1}{2}*L*I^2[/tex]

[tex]I^2 = 2*\frac{El}{L}[/tex]

[tex]I = \sqrt{2*\frac{El}{L}}[/tex]

[tex]I = \sqrt{2*\frac{926.7*10^{-3}}{25*10^{-3}}} = 8.61 A[/tex]

At t = 0 the capacitor has a charge of 3.8 mC, the maximum charge is 3.81 mC

q = Q * cos(vt + f)

q(0) = Q * cos(v*0 + f)

3.8 = 3.81 * cos(f)

cos(f) = 3.8/3.81

f = arccos(3.8/3.81) = 0.0721

If the capacitor is discharging it is a half cycle away, so f' = f + π = 3.2137

A steam piston system is heated by 72 Btu of heat. 7 Btu of heat is lost to the environment. The piston does 12 Btu of work as it rises. What is the change in the energy of the water steam in the system?

Answers

Answer:

ΔU = 53 BTU

Explanation:

In thermodynamics we consider heat entering a system as positive and heat leaving as negative.

Also, work performed by the system is positive and work applied to the system is negative.

The total heat applied to the system is:

Q = 72 - 7 = 65 BTU

The work is:

L = 12 BTU

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

Where ΔU is the change in internal energy.

Rearranging:

ΔU = Q - L

ΔU = 65 - 12 = 53 BTU

k = 240 lb/ft

so

frequency = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]   ..................2

put here value k and mass m = [tex]\frac{weight}{g}[/tex]

frequency = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{240}{30/32.2} }[/tex]  

frequency = 16.05 rad/s

and

period of vibration = [tex]\frac{2* \pi }{frequency}[/tex]

period of vibration = [tex]\frac{2* \pi }{16.05}[/tex]

period of vibration = 0.3915 s

and

natural frequency = [tex]\frac{1 }{period of vibration}[/tex]

natural frequency = [tex]\frac{1 }{0.3915}[/tex]

natural frequency = 2.55 Hz

The Danner process is used to make glass_____

Answers

Answer:

The Danner process is used to make glass tubes

Explanation:

In this process the molten glass passes from the feeder to a hollow ceramic cylinder that is tilted downward, so that the molten glass can "run"; This ceramic cylinder is spinning constantly.

As the molten glass passes through the Danner tube, compressed air is blown to prevent the glass from being damaged. On the opposite side of the feeder, i.e, on the other side of the tube a bubble is also formed so-called drawing onion, the glass tube is removed in a free buckling in a traction line from the onion.

When the stretching speed remains constant and an increase in the blowing pressure occurs, larger tube diameters are created and the wall thickness decreases.

This process allows tube diameters between 2 and 60 mm.

This is how glass bottles are made.

A storage tank, used in a fermentation process, is to be rotationally molded from polyethylene plastic. This tank will have a conical section at the bottom, right circular cylindrical mid-section and a hemispherical dome to cover the top. The radius of the tank is 1.5 m, the cylindrical side-walls will be 4.0 m in height, and the apex of the conic section at the bottom has an included angle of 60°. If the tank is filled to the top of the cylindrical side-walls, what is the tank capacity in liters?

Answers

Answer:

The volume up to cylindrical portion is approx  32355 liters.

Explanation:

The tank is shown in the attached figure below

The volume of the whole tank is is sum of the following volumes

1) Hemisphere top

Volume of hemispherical top of radius 'r' is

[tex]V_{hem}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

2) Cylindrical Middle section

Volume of cylindrical middle portion of radius 'r' and height 'h'

[tex]V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\cdot h[/tex]

3) Conical bottom

Volume of conical bottom of radius'r' and angle [tex]\theta [/tex] is

[tex]V_{cone}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^3\times \frac{1}{tan(\frac{\theta }{2})}[/tex]

Applying the given values we obtain the volume of the container up to cylinder is

[tex]V=\pi 1.5^2\times 4.0+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{\pi 1.5^{3}}{tan30}=32.355m^{3}[/tex]

Hence the capacity in liters is [tex]V=32.355\times 1000=32355Liters[/tex]

Describe the cartesain coordinate system.

Answers

Answer:

Cartesian coordinate system is used to specify any point on a plane.

In two dimensional plane,the two types of axes or coordinates are [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] axis.

Explanation:

Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point and every point on axes.

A Cartesian Coordinate system in two dimension also named as rectangular coordinate system.

The two types of axes or coordinates are [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] axis.

The horizontal axis is [tex]x[/tex]-axis and vertical axis is named as [tex]y[/tex]-axis.

The coordinate system specifies each point as a set of numerical coordinates in a plane which are signed from negative to positive. that is from  ([tex]-\infty[/tex],[tex]\infty[/tex]).

In three dimensional plane, [tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] and [tex]z[/tex] coordinates are used and in two dimensional plane, [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]coordinates are used to address any point in the interval ([tex]-\infty[/tex],[tex]\infty[/tex]).

For defining both the coordinates, the two perpendicular directed lines [tex]x[/tex]- axis and [tex]x[/tex]-axis are drawn.

Now, for example [tex](3,4)[/tex] is a point in which indicates that the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]4[/tex].

It is drawn by moving [tex]3[/tex] units right from the origin to positive [tex]x[/tex] axis and [tex]4[/tex] units upwards from the origin [tex](0,0)[/tex] to positive [tex]y[/tex]-axis.

2.4 kg of nitrogen at an initial state of 285K and 150 kPa is compressed slowly in an isothermal process to a final pressure of 600 kPa. Determine the work.

Answers

Answer:

W=-280.67 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Initial pressure = 150 KPa

Final pressure = 600 KPa

Temperature T= 285 K

Mass m=2.4 Kg

We know that ,work in isothermal process given as

[tex]W=mRT\ ln\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}[/tex]

Gas constant for nitrogen gas R=0.296 KJ/kgK

Now by putting the values

[tex]W=mRT\ ln\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}[/tex]

[tex]W=2.4\times 0.296\times 285\ ln\dfrac{150}{600}[/tex]

W=-280.67 KJ

Negative sign indicates that it is compression process and work is done on the gas.

A power company desires to use groundwater from a hot spring to power a heat engine. If the groundwater is at 95 deg C and the atmosphere is at 20 deg C, what is the maximum power output for a mass flow of 0.2 kg/s? Assume the water is cooled to atmospheric temperature.

Answers

Answer:

W  = 12.8 KW

Explanation:

given data:

mass flow rate = 0.2 kg/s

Engine recieve heat from ground water at 95 degree ( 368 K)  and reject that heat to atmosphere  at 20 degree (293K)

we know that maximum possible efficiency is given as

[tex]\eta = 1- \frac{T_L}{T_H}[/tex]

[tex]\eta = 1 - \frac{ 293}{368}[/tex]

[tex]\eta = 0.2038[/tex]

rate of heat transfer is given as

[tex]Q_H = \dot m C_p \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q_H = 0.2 * 4.18 8(95 - 20)[/tex]

[tex]Q_H = 62.7 kW[/tex]

Maximuim power is given as

[tex]W = \eta Q_H[/tex]

W = 0.2038 * 62.7

W  = 12.8 KW

Please define the coefficient of thermal expansion?

Answers

Answer:

The coefficient of thermal expansion tells us how much a material can expand due to heat.

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when a material is subjected to heat and changes it's shape, area and volume as a result of that heat. How much that material changes is dependent on it's coefficient of thermal expansion.

Different materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion (i.e. It is a material property and differs from one material to the next). It is important to understand how materials behave when heated, especially for engineering applications when a change in dimension might pose a problem or risk (eg. building large structures).

The horizontal component of acceleration, ay during a projectile motion is usually assumed to be_________ a)-9.81 m/s^2 b)-Zero c)- Constant d)- 32.2 m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

b) zero

Explanation:

The horizontal component of acceleration during projectile motion is usually assumed to be zero.Because in projectile motion horizontal component of velocity will remain the constant and we know that rate of change of velocity with time is called acceleration.So when velocity is constant then acceleration will be zero.

In projectile motion ,gravitational acceleration will be in only vertical direction.

A galvanometer has a coil with a resistance of 24.0 Ω, and a current of 180 μA causes it to deflect full scale. If this galvanometer is to be used to construct an ammeter that can read up to 10.0 A, what shunt resistor is required? A galvanometer has a coil with a resistance of 24.0 , and a current of 180 μA causes it to deflect full scale. If this galvanometer is to be used to construct an ammeter that can read up to 10.0 A, what shunt resistor is required? 234 µΩ 123 µΩ 342 µΩ 423 µΩ 432 µΩ

Answers

Answer:

shunt resistor is 432µΩ

correct option is  432µΩ

Explanation:

given data

resistance R = 24.0 Ω

full scale deflection current Ig = 180 μA

galvanometer current I = 10.0 A

to find out

what shunt resistor is required

solution

we will apply here full scale deflection current  formula that is

Ig = I × [tex]\frac{r}{r + R}[/tex]    ...............1

here r is shunt current and R is resistance and I is galvanometer

put here all value

180 × [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] = 10 × [tex]\frac{r}{r + 24}[/tex]

r = 18 ×  [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]  × 24

r = 432 ×  [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] Ω

so shunt resistor is 432µΩ

correct option is  432µΩ

Shunt resistor required for 10.0 A ammeter: approximately 432 μΩ.

To construct an ammeter using a galvanometer, a shunt resistor is connected in parallel to the galvanometer. The shunt resistor diverts most of the current, allowing only a fraction of the current to pass through the galvanometer, thus enabling it to measure higher currents.

The relationship between the current passing through the galvanometer and the shunt resistor can be expressed using the formula:

[tex]\[I_{\text{total}} = I_{\text{g}} + I_{\text{s}}\][/tex]

Where:

[tex]- \(I_{\text{total}}\)[/tex] is the total current (10.0 A)

[tex]- \(I_{\text{g}}\)[/tex] is the current passing through the galvanometer (180 μA)

[tex]- \(I_{\text{s}}\)[/tex]  is the current passing through the shunt resistor

Given that the galvanometer resistance [tex]\(R_{\text{g}} = 24.0 Ω\)[/tex]  and full-scale deflection current \[tex](I_{\text{g}} = 180 μA\),[/tex] we can calculate the shunt resistance required using Ohm's Law:

[tex]\[I_{\text{g}} = \frac{V_{\text{g}}}{R_{\text{g}}}\][/tex]

Where:

- [tex]\(V_{\text{g}}\)[/tex] is the voltage across the galvanometer

Since the galvanometer is designed to deflect full-scale at 180 μA, the voltage across it is:

[tex]\[V_{\text{g}} = I_{\text{g}} \times R_{\text{g}}\]\[V_{\text{g}} = (180 \times 10^{-6}) \times 24\]\[V_{\text{g}} = 0.00432 \, \text{V}\][/tex]

The current passing through the shunt resistor can be calculated using:

[tex]\[I_{\text{s}} = \frac{V_{\text{total}}}{R_{\text{s}}}\][/tex]

Since the total current is 10.0 A and the voltage across the shunt resistor is the same as the voltage across the galvanometer (as they are in parallel), we have:

[tex]\[I_{\text{s}} = \frac{10.0}{R_{\text{s}}}\][/tex]

Now, the total current equals the sum of the currents through the galvanometer and shunt resistor:

[tex]\[10.0 = 180 \times 10^{-6} + \frac{0.00432}{R_{\text{s}}}\][/tex]

Solving for [tex]\(R_{\text{s}}\):[/tex]

[tex]\[R_{\text{s}} = \frac{0.00432}{10.0 - 180 \times 10^{-6}}\]\[R_{\text{s}} ≈ \frac{0.00432}{10.0}\]\[R_{\text{s}} ≈ 432 \, \text{μΩ}\][/tex]

So, the required shunt resistor is approximately 432 μΩ. Therefore, the closest answer is 432 μΩ.

Solar energy is the most widely available renewable energy source and it is sufficient to meet entire needs of the world. However, it is not used extensively. Why?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Solar energy is one of the Renewable sources of energy and it is sufficient to meet the entire needs of the world.

But it is not used extensively because of the inconsistency. Inconsistency means that sun rays are not consistent throughout the year. If the weather is not good or in winters earth does not receive sun rays continuously.

And another reason to not to set up solar energy is that it is very expensive not everyone can afford it.
