A household refrigerator with a COP of 1.2 removes heat from the refrigerated space at a rate of 60kJ/min. Determine: (a) The electric power consumed by the refrigerator, and (b) The rate of heat transfer to the kitchen air.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Power =50 KJ/min

b)Rate of heat transfer = 110 KJ/min

Explanation:

Given that

COP = 1.2

Heat removed from space Q = 60 KJ/min

As we know that COP of refrigerator is the ratio of heat removed to work input.

Lets take power consume by refrigerator is W

So

COP= Q/W

1.2=60/W

W=50 KJ/min

So the power consume is 50 KJ/min.

From first law of thermodynamic

Heat removed from the kitchen = 50 + 60 KJ/min

Heat removed from the kitchen =110 KJ/min

Area under the strain-stress curve up to fracture:______

Answers

Answer:

Area under the strain-stress curve up to fracture gives the toughness of the material.

Explanation:

When a material is loaded by external forces stresses are developed in the material which produce strains in the material.

The amount of strain that a given stress produces depends upon the Modulus of Elasticity of the material.

Toughness of a material is defined as the energy absorbed by the material when it is loaded until fracture. Hence a more tough material absorbs more energy until fracture and thus is excellent choice in machine parts that are loaded by large loads such as springs of trains, suspension of cars.

The toughness of a material is quantitatively obtained by finding the area under it's stress-strain curve until fracture.

What is 30.25 inHg in psia?

Answers

Answer:

30.25 in Hg will be equal to 14.855 psi

Explanation:

We have given 30.25 Hg pressure

We have to convert the pressure of 30.25 Hg into psi

We know that 1 inch of Hg = 0.4911 psi

So to convert 30.25 inch Hg in psi we have to multiply with 0.4911

We have to convert 30.25 in Hg

So [tex]30.25inHg=30.25\times 0.4911=14.855775psi[/tex]

So 30.25 in Hg will be equal to 14.855 psi

Consider a cylindrical nickel wire 1.8 mm in diameter and 2.6 × 104 mm long. Calculate its elongation when a load of 290 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

Final answer:

Calculate the elongation of a cylindrical nickel wire under a specific load by using the formula for elastic deformation and provided values.

Explanation:

To calculate the elongation of the cylindrical nickel wire under a load, we can use the formula for elastic deformation: elongation = (F * L) / (A * E), where F is the load, L is the length, A is the cross-sectional area, and E is the Young's modulus.

Substitute the given values: diameter = 1.8 mm (radius = 0.9 mm), load = 290 N, length = 2.6 × 10^4 mm, and Young's modulus for nickel = 207 × 10^9 N/m^2. Solve for the elongation to find the answer.

The elongation of the cylindrical nickel wire under the given load is found to be **insert answer here**.

The elongation of the nickel wire when a load of 290 N is applied is approximately 14.295 meters.

Step 1

To calculate the elongation of the nickel wire under the applied load, we can use Hooke's Law, which states that the elongation [tex](\( \Delta L \))[/tex] of a material is directly proportional to the applied force ([tex]\( F \)[/tex]) and the material's elastic modulus ([tex]\( E \)[/tex]), and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area ([tex]\( A \)[/tex]) and original length ([tex]\( L_0 \)[/tex]). Mathematically, it's expressed as:

[tex]\[ \Delta L = \frac{F \cdot L_0}{A \cdot E} \][/tex]

Where:

- F is the applied force (290 N)

- [tex]\( L_0 \)[/tex] is the original length of the wire (2.6 × [tex]10^4[/tex] mm = 26,000 mm)

- A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

- E is the elastic modulus of nickel (207 × [tex]10^9[/tex] [tex]N/m^2[/tex])

Step 2

First, let's calculate the cross-sectional area (A) of the wire using its diameter (d ):

[tex]\[ A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \][/tex]

Given that the diameter [tex](\( d \))[/tex] is 1.8 mm, we have:

[tex]\[ A = \frac{\pi \times (1.8 \times 10^{-3})^2}{4} \][/tex]

Now, let's calculate the elongation ([tex]\( \Delta L \)[/tex]) using Hooke's Law:

[tex]\[ \Delta L = \frac{290 \times 26,000}{A \times 207 \times 10^9} \][/tex]

Step 3

Finally, we can substitute the values and solve for [tex]\( \Delta L \).[/tex] Let's do the calculations.

First, let's calculate the cross-sectional area A:

[tex]\[ A = \frac{\pi \times (1.8 \times 10^{-3})^2}{4} \]\[ A = \frac{\pi \times 3.24 \times 10^{-6}}{4} \]\[ A = 2.55 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \][/tex]

Step 4

Now, let's calculate the elongation [tex](\( \Delta L \))[/tex] using Hooke's Law:

[tex]\[ \Delta L = \frac{290 \times 26,000}{2.55 \times 10^{-6} \times 207 \times 10^9} \]\[ \Delta L = \frac{7,540,000}{528.15} \]\[ \Delta L = 14.295 \, \text{m} \][/tex]

So, the elongation of the nickel wire when a load of 290 N is applied is approximately 14.295 meters.

An inventor claims that he wants to build a dam to produce hydroelectric power. He correctly realizes that civilization uses a lot more electricity during the day than at night, so he thinks he has stumbled upon a great untapped energy supply. His plan is to install pumps at the bottom of the dam so that he can pump some of the water that flows out from the generators back up into the reservoir using the excess electricity generated at night. He reasons that if he did that, the water would just flow right back down through the generators the next day producing power for free. What is wrong with his plan?

Answers

Answer:

The problem is that the pumps would consume more energy than the generators would produce.

Explanation:

Water has a potential energy associated with the height it is at. The higher it is, the higher the potential energy. When water flows down into the turbines that energy is converted to kinetic energy and then into electricity.

A pump uses electricity to add energy to the water to send it to a higher potential energy state.

Ideally no net energy woul be hgenerate or lost, because the generators would release the potential energy and pumps would store it again in the water. However the systems are not ideal, everything has an efficiency and losses. The losses would accumulate and the generator would be generating less energy than the pumps consume, so that system wastes energy.

What should be done is closing the floodgates to keep the water up in the dam at night producing only the power that is needed and releasing more water during the day.

The engine of a 2000kg car has a power rating of 75kW. How long would it take (seconds) to accelerate from rest to 100 km/hr at full power on level road. Neglect drag and friction.

Answers

Answer: 10.29 sec.

Explanation:

Neglecting drag and friction, and at road level , the energy developed during the time the car is accelerating, is equal to the change in kinetic energy.

If the car starts from rest, this means the following:

ΔK = 1/2 m*vf ²

As Power (by definition) is equal to Energy/Time= 75000 W= 75000 N.m/seg, in order to get time in seconds, we need to convert 100 km/h to m/sec first:

100 (Km/h)*( 1000m /1 Km)*(3600 sec/1 h)= 27,78 m/sec

Now, we calculate the change in energy:

ΔK= 1/2*2000 Kg. (27,78)² m²/sec²= 771,728 J

If P= ΔK/Δt, Δt= ΔK/P= 771,728 J / 75,000 J/sec= 10.29 sec.

Given : Sample size : n= 5

The proportion nonconforming : p= 0.10

Binomial probability formula :-

[tex]P(x)=^nC_x p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

The probability of zero nonconforming unit in the sample :-

[tex]P(0)=^5C_0 (0.10)^{0}(1-0.1)^{5}\\\\=(1)(0.9)^5\ \ [ \because\ ^nC_0=1]=0.59049[/tex]

∴ The probability of zero nonconforming unit in the sample= 0.59049

The probability of one nonconforming unit in the sample :-

[tex]P(1)=^5C_1 (0.10)^{1}(0.9)^{4}\\\\=(5)(0.1)(0.9)^5\ \ [ \because\ ^nC_1=n]=0.295245[/tex]

∴ The probability of one nonconforming unit in the sample=0.295245

The  probability of 2 or more nonconforming units in the sample :-

[tex]P(X\geq2)=1-(P(0)+P(1))=1-(0.59049+0.295245)\\\\=1-0.885735=0.114265[/tex]

∴ The  probability of 2 or more nonconforming units in the sample=0.114265

What is the specific volume of superheated steam at 300 °C and a pressure of 1.2 MPa?

Answers

Answer:

The specific volume of the super heated steam is 0.2139 m³/kg.

Explanation:

Super heated steam is the condition where only compressed vapor of water present. This is not containing any liquid form of water. Super heated steam has very high pressure depending upon temperature. If heat supplied increases after saturation vapor condition of the water, the water fuses into steam completely. Properties of super heated steam are taken from the super heated steam table.

Given:  

Temperature of superheated steam is 300°C.  

Pressure of the super heated steam is 1.2 Mpa.

Calculation:

Step1  

Value of specific volume of the super heated steam is taken from superheated steam table at 300°C and 1.2 Mpa as follows:

Specific volume is 0.2139 m³/kg.

Step2

All other properties are also taken from the table as:

Internal energy is 2789.7 kj/kg.

Enthalpy is 3046.3 kj/kg.

Entropy is 7.034 kj/kgK.

The part of table at the temperature 300°C and pressure 1.2 Mpa is shown below:

 Thus, the specific volume of the super heated steam is 0.2139 m³/kg.

Answers

Answer:

Pressure- temperature diagram of the fluid is the phase lines that separate all the phases.

Explanation:

Step1

Pressure temperature diagram is the diagram that represents the all the phases of the fluid by separating a line. There is no phase change region in the pressure temperature diagram out of 15 possible diagrams. There are three lines that separate the phase of the fluid. These three lines are fusion, vaporization and sublimation.

Step2

The intersecting point of these lines is triple point of fluid. Out of 15 possible phase diagram, only pressure temperature diagram has triple point as a point. In other diagrams phase change region is present and triple point is not a point. Critical point is the point in all possible property diagrams.

Define volume flow rate Q of air flowing in a duct of area A with average velocity V

Answers

Answer:

The volume flow rate of air is [tex]Q=A\times V[/tex]

Explanation:

A random duct is shown in the below attached figure

The volume flow rate is defined as the volume of fluid that passes a section in unit amount of time

Now by definition of velocity we can see that 'v' m/s means that in 1 second the flow occupies a length of 'v' meters

From the attached figure we can see that

The volume of the prism that the flow occupies in 1 second equals

[tex]Volume=Area\times V=A\times V[/tex]

Hence the volume flow rate is [tex]Q=V\times A[/tex]

Two forces P and Q are applied as shown at point A of a
hooksupport. Knowing that P = 60 lb and
Q = 25 lb, determine graphically the magnitude and directionof
their resultant using the triangle rule.

Answers

Final answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force from two applied forces, P and Q, at a point can be determined graphically using the triangle rule by forming a vector triangle, measuring the resultant vector, and calculating its angle.

Explanation:

To determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force using the triangle rule when two forces, P and Q, are applied at a point, you can follow a graphical method. Picture two vectors representing these forces originating from the same point. Since P = 60 lb and Q = 25 lb, you draw them to scale, with the tail of Q starting at the head of P to form a triangle. By connecting the tail of P to the head of Q, you form the resultant vector.

To find the magnitude of the resultant force, measure the length of the resultant vector using the same scale and apply trigonometry or the Pythagorean theorem if the angle is known. The direction of the resultant force is given by the angle it makes with either P or Q, which can be measured with a protractor in reference to a baseline, such as the horizontal.

The International Space Station operates at an altitude of 350 km. Plans for the final construction show that material of weight 4.22 ✕ 106 N, measured at the Earth's surface, will have been lifted off the surface by various spacecraft during the construction process. What is the weight of the space station when in orbit?

Answers

Answer:

The weight of the station becomes [tex]3.756\times 10^{6}N[/tex]

Explanation:

Since the acceleration due to gravity decreases with increase in height we conclude that at a height of 350 kilometers the weight of the material will be lesser.

At the ground we have

[tex]W=mass\times g_{surface}\\\\\therefore mass=\frac{W}{g_{surface}}\\\\mass=\frac{4.22\times 10^{6}N}{9.81}\\\\\therefore mass=430173.292kg[/tex]

Now we know that the variation of acceleration due to gravity with height above surface of earth is given by

[tex]g(h)=g_{surface}(1-\frac{2h}{R})[/tex]

where R = 6371 km is Radius of earth

Applying values we get the value of 'g' at height of 350 kilometers equals

[tex]g(350)=9.81\times (1-\frac{2\times 350}{6371})=8.732ms^{-2}[/tex]

hence the weight in orbit becomes

[tex]W_{orbit}=mass\times g_{orbit}\\\\W_{orbit}=430173.292\times 8.732\\\\ \therefore W_{orbit}=3.756\times 10^{6}N\\[/tex]

How is the principle of superposition used to determine the stress state for a combined loading?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

For a linearly responsive system principle of superposition states that

"The cumulative response of the given system to forces of different magnitudes is the sum of the individual responses of the system to the individual forces"

In a less formal manner principle of superposition states that the effect of various forces acting together on any body is the sum of all the effects on the body produced when each force acts individually.

Now we know that

[tex]Stress=\frac{Force}{Area}[/tex]

Since stress at any point is in linear relation with the force hence we can conclude that the state of stress at any point due to different forces acting together is the sum of the individual stresses due to individual forces alone.

Mathematically

Let the stress due to a force [tex]F_i[/tex] be [tex]\sigma _i[/tex]

and the stress due to combined forces be [tex]\sigma _f[/tex]

thus according to principle of superposition we have

[tex]\sigma_f=\sum_{i=1}^{n}(\sigma_i)[/tex]

the force acting on a particle of mass m is given by
F=kvx
in which k is a positive constant. The particle passes
throughthe origin with speed Vo at time t=0. Find x as a function

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

From newton's second law the acceleration produced by a force on a mass 'm' is given by

[tex]Acceleration=\frac{Force}{Mass}[/tex]

Applying the given values in the above equation we get

[tex]Acceleration=\frac{kvx}{m}[/tex]

Also we know that acceelration of a particle can ve mathem,atically written as

[tex]a=\frac{v\cdot dv}{dx}[/tex]

Applying the given values in the above equation we get

[tex]\frac{kvx}{m}=\frac{v\cdot dv}{dx}\\\\\Rightarrow {kx}\cdot dx=m\cdot dv\\\\\int kxdx=\int mdv\\\\\frac{kx^2}{2}=mv-c[/tex]

'c' is the constant of integration

whose value is found that at x =0 v= [tex]v_o[/tex]

Thus

[tex]c={mv_o}[/tex]

Thus the velocity as a function of position is

[tex]v=\frac{1}{m}(\frac{kx^2}{2}+c)[/tex]

Now  by definition of velocity we have

[tex]v=\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

Using the function of velocity in the above relation we get

[tex]\frac{dx}{kx^{2}+\sqrt{2c}}=\frac{dt}{2m}\\\\\int \frac{dx}{(\sqrt{k})^2x^{2}+(\sqrt{2c})^2}=\int \frac{dt}{2m}\\\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2kc}}\cdot tan^{-1}(\frac{(\sqrt{k})x}{\sqrt{2c}})=\frac{t}{2m}+\phi \\\\[/tex]

where

[tex]\phi [/tex] is constant of integration

Now it is given that at t = 0 ,x = 0

thus from the above equation of position and time we get [tex]\phi =0[/tex]

Thus the position as a function of time is

[tex]x(t)=\sqrt{\frac{2c}{k}}\cdot tan(\frac{kct}{\sqrt{2}m})[/tex]

where c=[tex]mv_o[/tex]

So [tex]0.5=0.1\omega cos0[/tex]

[tex]\omega =5sec^{-1}[/tex]

Now period of oscillation [tex]T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=\frac{2\times 3.14}{5}=1.26sec[/tex]

A has a mass of 7 kg, object B has a mass of 5 lbm, and object C has a mass of 0.5 slug. (a) Which object has the largest mass? Which object has the smallest mass? (b) Find the weights of objects A, B and C (in both N and lbf) on the surface of Mars.

Answers

Answer:

1) Object C has the largest mass.

2)Object  has the smallest mass.

3) Weight of A = 26.6 Newtons

4)Weight of B = 8.6184 Newtons

5)Weight of C = 27.7286 Newtons

Explanation:

Since all the given masses have different unit's we shall convert them all into a same base unit for comparison. The base unit is selected to be kilogram.

Hence

1) Mass of object A = 7 kilogram

2) Mass of object B = 5 pounds

We know that 1 pound equals 0.4536 kilograms Hence 5 pounds equals

[tex]0.4536\times 5=2.268kg[/tex]

3) Mass of object C = 0.5 slug

We know that 1 slug equals 14.594 kilograms Hence 0.5 slug equals

[tex]14.594\times 0.5=7.297kg[/tex]

Upon comparing all the 3 masses we conclude that object C has the largest mass and object B has the smallest mass.

Part b)

Weight of an object is given by

[tex]Weight=mass\times g[/tex]

Now on Mars value of g equals [tex]3.8m/s^{2}[/tex]

Thus the corresponding weights are as under:

[tex]W_{A}=3.8\times 7=26.6N\\\\W_{B}=3.8\times 2.268=8.6184N\\\\W_{C}=3.8\times 7.297=27.7286N\\\\[/tex]

Calculate the density of a hydraulic oil in units of kg/m^3 knowing that the density is 1.74 slugs/ft^3. Then, calculate the specific gravity of the oil.

Answers

Answer:

Density of oil will be 897.292 kg[tex]m^3[/tex]

And specific gravity of oil will be 0.897

Explanation:

We have given density of oil is 1.74 slugs/[tex]ft^3[/tex]

We have to convert this slugs/[tex]ft^3[/tex] into kg/[tex]m^3[/tex]

We know that 1 slugs = 14.5939 kg

So 1.74 slug = 1.74×14.5939 = 25.3933 kg

And 1 cubic feet = 0.0283 cubic meter

So [tex]1.74slug/ft^3=\frac{1.74\times 14.5939kg}{0.0283m^3}=897.292kg/m^3[/tex]

Now we have to calculate specific gravity it is the ratio of density of oil and density of water

We know that density of water = 1000 kg/[tex]m^3[/tex]

So specific gravity of water [tex]=\frac{897.292}{1000}=0.897[/tex]
