One way to lower NOx emissions in diesel engines is to add water to the fuel. Since water is not mixable with diesel fuel, it has to been emulsified by a surfactant. Explain how it works and why.

Answers

Answer 1

After the emulsion is made, fuel droplet containing water droplets increase its temperature inside the engine,  because of that, water droplets explode causing water rapid evaporation that break down fuel droplet, in consequence, smaller fuel droplets are generated. This makes the temperature of the flame during the combustion decrease, and that is why the reduction of NOx is accomplished by this method .

Evaluate each of the following and express with an appropriate prefix: (a) (430 kg)^2 (b) (0.002 mg)^2, and (c) (230 m)^3

Answers

Final answer:

The expressions squared or cubed with appropriate metric prefixes are: (a) 184.9 Mg^2, (b) 4 x 10^-18 kg^2, and (c) 12.167 km^3. Metric prefixes are used for clarity in representing large quantities.

Explanation:

The question deals with the operation of squaring and cubing given quantities and expressing them with the appropriate metric prefixes. Let's evaluate each expression step by step:

(a)
(430 kg)^2: To square 430 kg, we multiply 430 kg by itself: (430 kg
* 430 kg) = 184,900 kg2, which can be expressed as 184.9 Megagrams2 (Mg2), since 1 Megagram is equivalent
to 1,000 kilograms.(b) (0.002 mg)^2: To square 0.002 mg, we first convert milligrams to kilograms then square it: (0.002 mg
* 0.002 mg) = 4 x 10-12
mg2. Since there are 1,000,000,000 micrograms (
μg) in a gram, and 1,000 grams in a kilogram, we can
convert it to 4 x 10-18 kg2.(c) (230 m)^3: To cube 230 m, we calculate 230 m * 230 m * 230 m = 12,167,000
m3 or 12.167 Kilometers3 (km3), since 1
Kilometer is 1,000 meters.

It is important to use the proper metric prefixes when
expressing large numbers to ensure clarity and avoid confusion.

How much power would you need to cool down a closed, 1 Liter container of water from 100°C to 20°C in 5 minutes? (a) 1.1W (b)1.1kW (c)67kW (d)334 kJ

Answers

Answer:

The power required to cool the water is 1.11Kw.

Hence the correct option is (b).

Explanation:

Power needed to cool down is equal to heat extract from the water.

Given:

Volume of water is 1 liter.

Initial temperature is 100C.

Final temperature is 20C.

Time is 5 minutes.

Take density of water as 100 kg/m3.

Specific heat of water is 4.186 kj/kgK.

Calculation:

Step1

Mass of the water is calculated as follows:

[tex]\rho=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]

[tex]1000=\frac{m}{(1l)(\frac{1m^{3}}{1000l})}[/tex]

m=1kg

Step2

Amount of heat extraction is calculated as follows:

[tex]Q=mc\bigtriangleup T[/tex]

[tex]Q=1(4.186kj/kgk)(\frac{1000 j/kgk}{1 kj/kgk})\times(100-20)[/tex]

Q=334880 j.

Step3

Power to cool the water is calculated as follows:

[tex]P=\frac{Q}{t}[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{334880}{(5min)(\frac{60s}{1min})}[/tex]

P=1116.26W

or

[tex]P=(1116.26W)(\frac{1Kw}{1000 W})[/tex]

P=1.11 Kw.

Thus, the power required to cool the water is 1.11Kw.

Hence the correct option is (b).

Determine the factor of safety for a 9 foot long hollow steel
column 3.5 inches on a side that has a wall thickness of 0.225
inches and is loaded with a 22 kip load. Use the steel E of 29 *10
^6 psi and assume the column is pin connected at each end.

Answers

Answer:

factor of safety for A36 structural steel is 0.82

Explanation:

given data:

side of column = 3.5 inches

wall thickness = 0.225 inches

load P = 22 kip

Length od column = 9 ft

we know that critical stress is given as

[tex]\sigma_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 E}{(l/r)^2}[/tex]

where

r is radius of gyration[tex] = \sqrt{\fra{I}{A}}[/tex]

Here I is moment od inertia [tex]= \frac{b_1^2}{12} - \frac{b_2^2}{12}[/tex]

[tex] I == \frac{3.5^2}{12} - \frac{3.05^2}{12} = 5.294 in^4[/tex]

For hollow steel area is given as [tex]A = b_1^2 -b_2^2[/tex]

[tex]A = 3.5^2 -3.05^2 = 2.948 in^2[/tex]

critical stress [tex]\sigma_{cr} = = \frac{\pi^2\times 29\times 10^6}{((9\times12)/(1.34))^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{cr} =  44061.56 lbs/inc^2[/tex]

considering Structural steel A36

so A36[tex] \sigma_y = 36ksi[/tex]

factor of safety  [tex]= \frac{yield\ stress}{critical\  stress}[/tex]

factor of safety =[tex]\frac{36\times10^3}{44061.56} = 0.82[/tex]

factor of safety for A36 structural steel is 0.82

Final answer:

The student's query involves calculating the factor of safety for a hollow steel column, but without complete material strength data, the calculation cannot be precisely done.

Explanation:

The student's question pertains to determining the factor of safety for a hollow steel column with specified dimensions, material properties (steel E), and loading conditions. To calculate the factor of safety for the column, we would need to compare the column's actual stress under load to its maximum allowable stress. However, due to insufficient data about material yield strength or ultimate strength and considering the provided information does not match the examples given, this calculation cannot be accurately completed without further specifics on the steel's properties.

We discover a nearby star with two planets. The first planet has an orbit period of 10 years and is in a circular orbit with radius 106 km. The second planet has an orbit period of 15 years. What is its orbit radius? You may assume it is also in a circular orbit.

Answers

Answer: 139 Km.

Explanation:

The question tells us that a planet A has an orbit period of 10 years and its circular orbit has a radius of 106 Km, whilst a planet B has an orbit period of 15 years (also assuming a circular orbit), both orbiting a nearby star.

This information allow us to use the Kepler's 3rd law, for the special case in which the orbit is circular.

Kepler's 3rd law, tells that there exist a direct proportionality between the square of the orbit period, and the cube of the orbit radius (in the more general case, with the cube of the semi-major axis of the elipse), for celestial bodies orbiting a same star.

(like Earth and Mars orbiting Sun).

So, for planet A and planet B (orbiting a same star), we can write the following:

(TA)²/ (TB)² = (rA)³ / (rB)³

Replacing by TA= 10 years, TB= 15 years, rA= 106 Km, and solving for Rb, we get  RB= 139 Km.

at [tex]\sigma _1=263.8 MPa[/tex]

When True stress[tex]\left ( \sigma _2\right )[/tex]=346.2 MPa

true strain [tex]\left ( \epsilon _T_2\right )[/tex]=0.226

We know

[tex]\epsilon [/tex]=true strain

n=strain hardening exponent

k=constant

Four kilograms of gas were heated at a constant pressure of 12 MPa. The gas volumes were 0.005 m^3 and 0.006 m^3 in the initial and final states, respectively, and 3.9 kJ of heat was transferred to the gas. What is the change in specific internal energy between the initial and final states?

Answers

Answer:

Specific change in internal energy is - 2.025 kj/kg.

Explanation:

The process is constant pressure expansion. Apply first law of thermodynamic to calculate the change in internal energy.

Given:

Mass of gas is 4 kg.

Initial volume is 0.005 m³.

Final volume is 0.006 m³.

Pressure is 12 Mpa.

Heat is transfer to the gas. So it must be positive 3.9 kj.

Calculation:

Step1

Work of expansion is calculated as follows:

[tex]W=P(V_{f}-V_{i})[/tex]

[tex]W=12\times10^{6}(0.006-0.005)[/tex]

W=12000 j.

Or,

W=12 Kj.

Step2

Apply first Law of thermodynamic as follows:

Q=W+dU

3.9=12+dU

dU = - 8.1 kj.

Step3

Specific change in internal energy is calculated as follows:

[tex]u=\frac{U}{m}[/tex]

[tex]u=\frac{-8.1}{4}[/tex]

u= - 2.025 kj/kg.

Thus, the specific change in internal energy is - 2.025 kj/kg.

The velocity of a particle along the s-axis is given by v = 14s^7/6 where s is in millimeters and v is in millimeters per second. Determine the acceleration when s is 5.5 millimeters.

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is [tex]2220.00m/s^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

We know that the acceleration is given by

[tex]a=v\frac{dv}{ds}........................(i)[/tex]

The velocity as a function of position is given by [tex]v=14\cdot s^{7/6}[/tex]

Thus the acceleration as obtained from equation 'i' becomes

[tex]a=14\cdot s^{7/6}\times \frac{d}{ds}(14\cdot s^{7/6})\\\\a=14\cdot s^{7/6}\times \frac{7}{6}\times 14\cdot s^{1/6}\\\\a=\frac{686}{3}\cdot s^{8/6}[/tex]

Hence acceleration at s = 5.5 equals

[tex]a(5.5)=\frac{686}{3}\times (5.5)^{8/6}\\\\\therefore a=2220.00mm/s^{2}[/tex]

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:

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

Explanation:

Given that

[tex]T_1=300K[/tex]

[tex]P_1=100KPa[/tex]

[tex]P_2=P_3=7200KPa[/tex]

[tex]T_3=2250K[/tex]

Lets take [tex]T_1[/tex] is the temperature at the end of compression process

For air γ=1.4

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{\dfrac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{300}=\left(\dfrac{7200}{100}\right)^{\dfrac{1.4-1}{1.4}}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=1070K[/tex]

At constant pressure

[tex]\dfrac{T_3}{T_2}=\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{2550}{1070}=\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{V_3}{V_2}=2.83[/tex]

Water at room temperature of 20.0°C is poured into an aluminum cylinder which has graduation markings etched on the inside. The reading in the graduations is 300.0 cc. The cylinder with the water in it is then immersed in a constant temperature bath at a temperature of 100°C. What is the reading for the level of water on the graduations of the cylinder after the water and the cylinder reach thermal equilibrium with the bath? The volume coefficient of expansion of water is 2.07 × 10 -4 K -1, and the linear coefficient of expansion of aluminum is 23.0 × 10 -6 K -1. 305.0 cc 303.5 cc 304.5 cc 304.0 cc 303.3 cc

Answers

Answer:

304.42 cc

Explanation:

When the aluminum expands the markings will be further apart. If the 300 cc mark was at a distance l0 of the origin at 20 C, at 100 C it will be

l = l0 * (1 + a * (t - t0))

l = l0 * (1 + 23*10^-6 * (100 - 20))

l = l0 * 1.0018

The volume of water would have expanded by

V = V0 (1 + a * (t - t0))

V = 300 (1 + 2.07*10^-4 * (100 - 20))

V = 304.968 cc

Since the markings expanded they would measure

304.968/1.0018 = 304.42 cc

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

If the local atmospheric pressure is 14.6 psia, find the absolute pressure (in psia) in a column of glycerin (rho = 74.9 lbm/ft^3) at depth of 27in.

Answers

Answer:

52.2538 psia

Explanation:

The absolute pressure at depth of 27 inches can be calculated by:

Pressure = Local pressure + Gauge pressure

Also,

[tex]P_{gauge}=\rho\times g\times h[/tex]

Where,

[tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of glycerin ([tex]\rho=74.9\ lbm/ft^3[/tex])

g is the gravitational acceleration = 32.1741 ft/s²

h = 27 in

Also, 1 in = 1/12 ft

So,

h = 27 / 12 ft = 2.25 ft

So,

[tex]P_{gauge}=74.9\times 32.1741\times 2.25\ lbf/ft^2=5422.1402\ lbf/ft^2[/tex]

Also,

1 ft = 12 inch

1 ft² = 144 in²

So,

[tex]P_{gauge}=5422.1402\ lbf/ft^2=\frac {5422.1402\ lbf}{144\ in^2}=37.6538\ lbf/in^2=37.6538\ psia[/tex]

Local pressure = 14.6 psia

So,

Absolute pressure = 14.6 psia + 37.6538 psia=52.2538 psia

A water jet that leaves a nozzle at 60 m/s at a certain flow rate generating power of 250 kW by striking the buckets located on the perimeter of a wheel. Determine the mass flow rate of the jet.

Answers

Answer:

The mass flow rate of jet =69.44 kg/s

Explanation:

Given that

velocity of jet v= 60 m/s

Power  P=250 KW

As we know that force offered by water F

[tex]F=\rho\ A \ v^2[/tex]

Power P= F.v

So now power given as

[tex]P=\rho\ A \ v^3[/tex]

We know that mass flow rate = ρAv

[tex]P=mass\ flow\ rate\ \times v^2[/tex]

250 x 1000 = mass flow rate x 3600

mass flow rate = 69.44 kg/s

So the mass flow rate of jet =69.44 kg/s

Explanation:

A rankine cycle is a generation cycle using water as a working fluid, when heat enters the boiler the water undergoes a series of changes in state and energy until generating power through the turbine.

This cycle is composed of four main components, the boiler, the pump, the turbine and the condenser as shown in the attached image

To solve any problem regarding the rankine cycle, enthalpies in all states must be calculated using the thermodynamic tables and taking into account the following.

• The pressure of state 1 and 4 are equal

• The pressure of state 2 and 3 are equal

• State 1 is superheated steam

• State 2 is in saturation state

• State 3 is saturated liquid at the lowest pressure

• State 4 is equal to state 3 because the work of the pump is negligible.

Once all enthalpies are found, the following equations are used using the first law of thermodynamics

Wout = m (h1-h2)

Qin = m (h1-h4)

Win = m (h4-h3)

Qout = m (h2-h1)

The efficiency is calculated as the power obtained on the heat that enters

Efficiency = Wout / Qin

Efficiency = (h1-h2) / (h1-h4)

first we calculate the enthalpies in all states

h1=3264kJ/Kg

h2=2043kJ/Kg

h2=h3=105.4kJ/Kg

a)we use the ecuation for efficiency

Efficiency = (h1-h2) / (h1-h4)

Efficiency = (3264-2043) / (3264-105.4)

=0.3865=38.65%

b)we use the ecuation for Wout

Wout = m (h1-h2)

for work ratio=

w = (h1-h2)

w=(3264-2043)=1221KJ/kg

A round steel bar, 0.02 m in diameter and 0.40 m long, is subjected to a tensile force of 33,000 kg. Y=E= 2E10 kg/m^2. (modulus).Calculate the elongation in meters.

Answers

The elongation of the steel bar under the given tensile force is approximately 2.10 millimeters.

The cross-sectional area (A) of the steel bar can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:

A = π * r²

Now, let's calculate A:

A = π * (0.01 m)²

≈ π * (0.0001 m²)

≈ 0.000314 m²

Now, we can calculate the elongation (ΔL) using Hooke's Law:

ΔL = (F * L) / (A * E)

Given:

F = 33,000 kg

L = 0.40 m

E = 2 * 10¹⁰ kg/m²

Now, plug in the values:

ΔL = (33,000 kg * 0.40 m) / (0.000314 m² * 2 * 10₈⁰ kg/m²)

Now, perform the calculation

ΔL ≈ (13,200 kg*m) / (6.28 * 10 kg/m²)

ΔL ≈ 2.10 * 10⁻₀ meters

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.

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]
