Answer:

True

Explanation:

Economic cost is a very important factor to consider in decision making in Engineering. It is part of the four essential elements involved in decision making in engineering analysis.

Economic cost is part of the criteria to evaluate alternatives considering the time value of money by estimating a specific measure of worth of estimated commodity cost over a period of time.

Other Factors to consider in Engineering Economics as related to the Economy are:

(1) Time of Occurence of Cash flows

(2) Interest Rates

(3) Cash Flows

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

A glass tube is inserted into a flowing stream of water with one opening directed upstream and the other end vertical. If the wa

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$h=0.46m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity of water $V=3m/s$

Height=?

Generally, the equation for Water Velocity is mathematically given by

$V=\sqrt{2gh}$

Therefore Height h is given as

$h=\frac{v}{2g}$

$h=\frac{3^2}{2*9.81}$

$h=0.46m$

Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 10 MPa, 450°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit

8090 [49]

Answer:

a) The change in Kinetic energy, KE = -1.95 kJ

b) Power output, W = 10221.72 kW

c) Turbine inlet area, $A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$

Explanation:

a) Change in Kinetic Energy

For an adiabatic steady state flow of steam:

$KE = \frac{V_2^2 - V_1^2}{2} \\$ .........(1)

Where Inlet velocity, V₁ = 80 m/s

Outlet velocity, V₂ = 50 m/s

Substitute these values into equation (1)

$KE = \frac{50^2 - 80^2}{2} \\$

KE = -1950 m²/s²

To convert this to kJ/kg, divide by 1000

KE = -1950/1000

KE = -1.95 kJ/kg

b) The power output, w

The equation below is used to represent a steady state flow.

$q - w = h_2 - h_1 + KE + g(z_2 - z_1)$

For an adiabatic process, the rate of heat transfer, q = 0

z₂ = z₁

The equation thus reduces to :

w = h₁ - h₂ - KE...........(2)

Where Power output, $W = \dot{m}w$ ..........(3)

Mass flow rate, $\dot{m} = 12 kg/s$

To get the specific enthalpy at the inlet, h₁

At P₁ = 10 MPa, T₁ = 450°C,

h₁ = 3242.4 kJ/kg,

Specific volume, v₁ = 0.029782 m³/kg

At P₂ = 10 kPa, $h_f = 191.81 kJ/kg, h_{fg} = 2392.1 kJ/kg$ , x₂ = 0.92

specific enthalpy at the outlet, h₂ = $h_1 + x_2 h_{fg}$

h₂ = 3242.4 + 0.92(2392.1)

h₂ = 2392.54 kJ/kg

Substitute these values into equation (2)

w = 3242.4 - 2392.54 - (-1.95)

w = 851.81 kJ/kg

To get the power output, put the value of w into equation (3)

W = 12 * 851.81

W = 10221.72 kW

c) The turbine inlet area

$A_1V_1 = \dot{m}v_1\\\\A_1 * 80 = 12 * 0.029782\\\\80A_1 = 0.357\\\\A_1 = 0.357/80\\\\A_1 = 0.0044 m^2$

Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a p

oee [108]

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

The thrust angle is checked by referencing

anygoal [31]

In Engineering, the thrust angle is checked by referencing: C. vehicle centerline.

<h3>What is a thrust angle?</h3>

A thrust angle can be defined as an imaginary line which is drawn perpendicularly from the centerline of the rear axle of a vehicle, down the centerline.

This ultimately implies that, the thrust angle is a reference to the centerline (wheelbase) of a vehicle, and it confirms that the two wheels on both sides are properly angled within specification.
