Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Given that:
Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength
, Fracture strength

a) The critical length (
) is given by:

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.
b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

Answer:Counter,
0.799,
1.921
Explanation:
Given data




Since outlet temperature of cold liquid is greater than hot fluid outlet temperature therefore it is counter flow heat exchanger
Equating Heat exchange
![m_hc_{ph}\left [ T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right ]=m_cc_{pc}\left [ T_{c_o}-T_{c_i}\right ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_hc_%7Bph%7D%5Cleft%20%5B%20T_%7Bh_i%7D-T_%7Bh_o%7D%5Cright%20%5D%3Dm_cc_%7Bpc%7D%5Cleft%20%5B%20T_%7Bc_o%7D-T_%7Bc_i%7D%5Cright%20%5D)
=
we can see that heat capacity of hot fluid is minimum
Also from energy balance

=


NTU=1.921





Answer:
a)
, b) Yes.
Explanation:
a) The maximum thermal efficiency is given by the Carnot's Cycle, whose formula is:


b) The claim of the inventor is possible since real efficiency is lower than maximum thermal efficiency.
