Answer:
The major heat transfer mechanisms are:
Conduction: When a body at higher temperature comes in direct contact with a body at lower temperature flow of heat takes place from higher temperature to lower temperature due to the Kinetic energy of particles in motion and this motion continues till equilibrium is reached. Heat transfer by this method is called conduction. For example: When a hot metal comes in direct contact with a cold metal, heat is transferred by conduction.Convection: This method of heat transfer applies to fluid motion of particles. Here, the heat transfer is due to thermal energy of the fluid particles. Due to the differences in their density the liquid over hot surface expands and rises up and heat flows from high to low temperatures. For example: When earth's surface is heated by the sun, the warm air comes up and cool air comes in Radiation: Thermal radiations are generated by electromagnetic waves. These are the result of motion of random molecules in the matter which carry the energy from the emitting body and provides motion to the charge particles of EM waves. At high temperature, shorter wavelength is produced and vice-versa. For example: visible light, UV, IR, etcAn electric heater draws 12 A from a 120 V power source. How much powe heater dissipate? (a) 10 W (b) 1200 W (c) 1440 W (d) 17,280 W
Answer:
c) 1440 W
Explanation:
P = V*i = (12A)*(120V) = 1440W
According to the scenario, the amount of power that is dissipated by the heater is 1440 W. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.
What is Power?Power may be defined as the amount of energy that is significantly transferred or converted per unit of time. The unit of power is the watt (W). It may be typically calculated with the help of the given formula:
P = W/Δt.According to the context of this question, the amount of power that is dissipated within the heater is calculated by the following formula:
P = V × i = 12 × 120 = 1440 W.Therefore, according to the scenario, the amount of power that is dissipated by the heater is 1440 W. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

Vertical axis wind turbine generates more electrical power compared to horizontal axis wind turbine due to differences in wind speed. a)-True b)- False
Answer: False
Explanation: Horizontal-axis wind turbine is the major part of wind industry. Horizontal axis have rotating axis of wind turbine in horizontal direction.Horizontal wind produces more electricity from a particular amount of wind that is provided and thus is preferred more.
vertical-axis wind turbines have the rotational axis of the turbine in vertical or perpendicular direction and have easy installation even where wind conditions are not predictable and is lighter in weight but are not able to produce the large amount of electricity as compared to horizontal-axis wind turbine.
Thus the statement given is false.
A plate clutch is used to connect a motor shaft running at 1500rpm to shaft 1. The motor is rated at 4 hp. Using a service factor, k=2.75 specify the torque rating for the clutch in lb-in.
Answer:
[tex](M_t)_{rated}=61.11lb-in[/tex]
Explanation:
speed of motor (N)=1500 rpm
power=4 hp = [tex]4 \times 0.7457 [/tex] =2.9828 KW
service factor(k)= 2.75
now,
[tex]KW=\frac{2\pi n M_t}{60 \times 10^6} \\2.9828=\frac{2\pi \times 1500 M_t}{60 \times 10^6}\\M_t=\frac{2.9828\times 60 \times 10^6}{2\pi \times 1500 }[/tex]
[tex]M_t= 18,989.09 \ N-mm= 168.06 lb-in[/tex]
torque rating
[tex](M_t)_{design}=k_s\times (M_t)_{rated}\\168.06= 2.75\times (M_t)_{rated}\\(M_t)_{rated}=\frac{168.06}{2.75} \\(M_t)_{rated}=61.11lb-in[/tex]

Process 3: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 0.5 m3. Sketch the processes on p-V graph and evaluate the work for each process in kJ.
Answer:
Process 1:W=0
Process 2:W= -386.13 KJ
Process 3:W= -468 KJ
Explanation:
Process 1:[tex]P_1=1 bar,V_1=2.6m^3[/tex]
Process 2:[tex]P_2=2.7bar,V_2=2.6m^3[/tex]
Process 3:[tex]V_3=1.5 m^3[/tex]
[tex]V_4=0.5 m^3[/tex]
Process 1:
Work (W)=0 ,because it is constant volume process.
Process 2:
It is constant temperature process so PV=C
[tex]P_2V_2=P_3V_3[/tex]
[tex]P_3=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{V_3}[/tex]
[tex]P_3=\dfrac{2.7\times 2.6}{1.5}[/tex]
[tex]P_3=4.68 [/tex]bar
So work in constant temperature process
W=[tex]P_2V_2\ ln\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}[/tex]
W=[tex]270\times 2.6\ ln\dfrac{1.5}{2.6}[/tex] (1 bar=100KPa)
W= -386.13 KJ
Negative sign means it is compression process.
Process 3:
It is a constant pressure.
So work W=[tex]P_3(V_4-V_3)[/tex]
W=468(0.5-1.5) KJ
W= -468 KJ
Negative sign means it is compression process.
Heat conduction is a function of material property, temperature difference and fluid the geometry of the object. a) True b) False
Answer:
a)True
Explanation:
According to Fourier's law,It states that Heat transfer is directly proportionate to the temperature gradient.For unidirectional conduction
[tex]q''\alpha\dfrac{dT}{dx}[/tex]
Where q'' is the heat flux.
When This directly proportionate is remove then one constant will on that place and that constant is called conductivity of material.
[tex]q''=K\dfrac{dT}{dx}[/tex]
So total heat transfer Q
[tex]Q=KA\dfrac{dT}{dx}[/tex]
When conductivity (K) of material is not constant
K=[tex]K_0[/tex](a+bT) where a,b are constant.
So from the above expression we can say that heat transfer in material will depend on temperature difference,material property and on on geometry of object.

we know that mas density of water [tex]{\gamma _{water}}[/tex] is 1000 kg/m3
specific gravity of water is given as S.G
[tex]S.G = \frac{\gamma _{fluid} }{\gamma _{water}}[/tex]

The pressure at any point in a static fluid depends only on the Select one a)- depth, surface pressure, and specific weight. b)- specific weight. c)- surface pressure and depth. d)- depth and container shape
Answer:
c). surface pressure and depth
Explanation:
We know that fluid pressure is measured in two different ways namely --
1. Pressure measured above complete vacuum or absolute zero is called Absolute Pressure.
2.Pressure measured above atmospheric pressure is called Gauge Pressure.
In the figure below, we can find the pressure at the point A in the static fluid inside the tank which is at a depth of h from the water surface.
Let the atmospheric pressure which is acting on the water surface be [tex]P_{atm}[/tex].
Let ρ be the density of water and g be the acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore we know that pressure at a point in a fluid is
P = ρ[tex]\times[/tex]g[tex]\times[/tex]h
Therefore total pressure acting on the point A in a fluid is
[tex]P_{tot}[/tex] = [tex]P_{atm}[/tex] + P
[tex]P_{tot}[/tex] = [tex]P_{atm}[/tex] + ρ[tex]\times[/tex]g[tex]\times[/tex]h
Thus, pressure at a point A in a static fluid depends on the surface pressure and the depth of the point from the free surface.
If the compound swivel base is set on 60 degrees at the lathe centerline index, how many degrees will the reading be at the cross slide index? A. 45 B. 150 C. 30 D. 90

Given that compound swivel base is set on 60° at the lathe center line index.
We need to find reading on cross slide index
We know that relationship between center line index and cross slide index in angle 2∝=β
Where ∝ Angle of swivel and β is the reading on cross line index.
So by using above relationship between center line index and cross slide index
2∝=60°⇒∝=30°
So our option is C.
In a quasi-static process, the system remains infinitesimally close to equilibrium throughout the process. a)True b) False
Answer:
It is True that in a quasi static process, the system remains infinitesimally close to equilibrium state throughout the process.
Explanation:
The literal meaning of the word "quasi" is 'almost' and static is 'rest', so quasi static state means almost at rest state of the system
It can be further explained as the process, in thermodynamics which allows the system to be carried to slowly to maintain its equilibrium or to remain in its internal equilibrium state. Such a process is known as quasi-static process. Such processes also allow all isothermal and adiabatic processes to operate slowly so as not to disturb their internal equilibrium. this makes the system to always remain in thermal equilibrium
In the SI system of units, the absolute temperature is measured to be 303 K Its value in Fahrenheit is a-) 76 F b)- 86F c)-79 F d)- 82 F
Answer:
The correct answer is option B i.e. 86 f
Explanation:
The freezing point of water is 32°f and boiling point is 212 °f. Thus difference in boiling and freezing point is exactly come out to be 180°. therefore fahrenheit scale is 1/180 interval of both scale ( freezing and boiling point)
given data:
absolute temperature is 303 K
We know by general formula of temperature in fahrenheit
°F = [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] × (K-273) +32
°F = [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex] × (303-273) +32
°F = 86 F
In shaft design, this of the following has the least influence on the shaft diameter to be determined: (a) Shaft deflection (b) Bearing type (c) Factor of safety (d) Rotational speed of the shaft
Answer: (d)Rotational speed of the shaft
Explanation: Shaft design is the design of a shaft that is used for defining the stresses at certain critical part of shaft. The shaft design has shaft diameter as a major part and this is determined by several factors like type of bearing , deflection, torque,safety factor etc.
But the least important factor for determining of the diameter is the rotational speed because it defines the rotation of an object around a particular axis, where is it states about the number of turns divisible by time. Therefore option(d) is the correct option.
A stainlesss steel cylinder diameter 60 mm is cooled in a air with h = 10 W/m^2-K. If the thermal conductivity is 20 W/m-K, the Biot number for this sphere is a)-0.005 b)-0.03 c)-8 d)-30
Answer:
The Biot number for this sphere is 0.03
Explanation:
Given data in equation
diameter (d) = 60 mm = 60/1000 = 0.06 m
heat transfer coefficient (h) = 10 w/m²-K
thermal conductivity (K) = 20 W/m-K
To find out
Biot number for sphere
Solution
we will find boit number by this given formula
Biot Number = ( h × S ) / K ..................1
here h and K value is given in question
and S = diameter/2
S= 60/2 = 30 mm = 0.03 m
Now put these value S, h and K in equation 1
Biot Number = ( 10 × 0.03 ) / 10
Biot Number = 0.03
A pendulum has an oscillation frequency (T) which is assumed to depend upon its length (L), load mass (m) and the acceleration of gravity (g). Determine the relationship between oscillation frequency, length, load mass and acceleration of gravity. Differentiate as well which variable does not affect the oscillation frequency.
Answer:
Mass does not affect oscillation frequency.
Explanation:
Let the bob of the pendulum makes a small angular displacement θ. When the pendulum is displaced from the equilibrium position, a restoring force tries to act upon it and it tries to bring the pendulum back to its equilibrium position. Let this restoring force be F.
Therefore, F = -mgsinθ
Now for pendulum, for small angle of θ,
sinθ[tex]\simeq[/tex]θ
Therefore, F = -mgθ
Now from Newton's 2nd law of motion,
F = m.a = -mgθ
[tex]\Rightarrow m.\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = - mg\Theta[/tex]
Now since, x = θ.L
[tex]\Rightarrow L.\frac{d^{2}\Theta }{dt^{2}}= -g\Theta[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{d^{2}\Theta }{dt^{2}}= -\frac{g}{L}.\Theta[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{d^{2}\Theta }{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}.\Theta =0[/tex]
Therefore, angular frequency
[tex]\omega ^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{g}{L}[/tex]
ω = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]
Also we know angular frequency is , ω = 2.π.f
where f is frequency
Therefore
2πf = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]
f = [tex]\frac{1}{2 \pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]
So from here we can see that frequency,f is independent of mass, hence it does not affect frequency.

Give two causes that can result in surface cracking on extruded products.
Answer:
1. High friction
2. High extrusion temperature
Explanation:
Surface cracking on extruded products are defects or breakage on the surface of the extruded parts. Such cracks are inter granular.
Surface cracking defects arises from very high work piece temperature that develops cracks on the surface of the work piece. Surface cracking appears when the extrusion speed is very high, that results in high strain rates and generates heat.
Other factors include very high friction that contributes to surface cracking an d chilling of the surface of high temperature billets.

Intrinsic semiconduction is a property of a pure material. (True , False )
True.
An intrinsic semiconductor is a pure semiconductor. At room temperature it behaves as an insulator because it only has a few free and hollow electrons due to thermal energy.
In an intrinsic semiconductor there are also electron fluxes and gaps, although the total current resulting is zero. This is because the action of thermal energy produces free electrons and gaps in pairs, so there are as many free electrons as there are gaps with which the total current is zero.

so,
[tex]\omega = \frac{2 \pi\times 720}{60}[/tex] = 75.39 rad/s
Using the given formula:
Damping is negligible, so, [tex]\zeta = 0[/tex]

The difference between absolute viscosity and kinematic viscosity is a. the absolute viscosity is the mass density divided by the kinematic viscosity c. absolute viscosity relates absolute pressure, film thickness and velocity while kinematic viscosity b. the kinematic viscosity is the absolute viscosity divided by the mass density relates shear stress and relative pressure e. all of the above
Answer:
b).the kinematic viscosity is absolute viscosity divided by mass density
Explanation:
Viscosity is a fluid property that offers resistance or obstruction to deformation or fluid flow.
Viscosity is of two types--
1. Absolute viscosity , μ
2. Kinematic viscosity, ν
Absolute viscosity :
Absolute viscosity is also called the dynamic viscosity. It is the internal resistance of the fluid to flow.
Kinematic viscosity :
Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid.
Absolute viscosity measures a fluid's internal friction, while kinematic viscosity is the ratio of absolute viscosity to the fluid's density. Viscosity affects how easily a liquid flows; higher intermolecular forces lead to higher viscosity, and this property is critical in fluid dynamics studies.
Explanation:The difference between absolute viscosity and kinematic viscosity is that absolute viscosity, often referred to simply as viscosity, represents the fluid's resistance to flow and is a measure of the internal friction within the fluid. Kinematic viscosity, on the other hand, takes the fluid's density into account and is the ratio of the fluid's absolute viscosity to its density. While absolute viscosity is measured in units like Pascal-seconds (Pa·s), kinematic viscosity is measured in square meters per second (m²/s).
Viscosity is influenced by intermolecular forces; liquids that can flow easily, such as ethanol, have lower viscosities, while substances like motor oil with higher intermolecular forces have higher viscosities. Measuring the time it takes for steel balls to fall through a fluid or for a fluid to flow through a narrow tube helps determine the fluid's viscosity. In other words, absolute viscosity is concerned with the sheer strength and flow resistance of a fluid, while kinematic viscosity relates to the movement of the fluid under the force of gravity considering its volume.
