Why were disc brakes invented?

Engineering
1 answer:
kolezko [41]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is disc brake first evolved as a motorcycle braking system pattern just to become a smaller and remarkably lighter version of them.

Explanation:

  • <u><em>It consisted of a metal disc called rotor and callipers that were attached to the fork or frame and equipped with pads to squeeze the rotor for braking.</em></u>

Air enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 27 C, 0.3 MPa and exits at 12 C. Refrigerant 134a enters at
Kruka [31]

Answer:

A) 337.21 kj/h

b) -224.823 kj/h

Explanation:

Steady state temperature = 27⁰C

Pressure = 0.3 MPa

exit temperature = 12⁰c

Refrigerant 134a :

entering pressure = 0.4 MPa

mass flow rate = 35 kg/h

quality = 0.3

inlet temp = 8.93⁰c

A) Determine the rate of heat transfer in kJ/h for Refrigerant 134a stream

calculate the specific enthalpy of refrigerant at the inlet

hm = hf + x ( hg - hf )

at 0.4 MPa : hf = 64 kj/kg ,  hg = 256 kj/kg

x = 0.3 ( quality )

hence : hm = 64 + 0.3 ( 256 - 64 ) = 64.3 + 57.6 = 121.9 kj/kg

next calculate the specific enthalpy at outlet

Tout = 10⁰c , T sat = 8.93⁰c

since the Tsat < Tout the refrigerant is super heated and from the super heated refrigerant table at P = 0.4 MPa, hout = 257 kj/kg

Heat gained by refrigerant ( Qin)

Qin = mref ( hout - hin )

      = 35 ( 257 - 112) = 5075 kj/h

To determine the rate of heat transfer we have to apply the equation below

heat gained by refrigerant = heat gained by air

                                     Qin = Qout

                                     5075 kj/h = mair ( hout - hin ) ------------ 1

considering ideal conditions

at T = 300 k ,  hout = 300.19 kj/kg ( specific enthalpy )

at T = 285 k , hin = 285.14 kj/kg   ( specific enthalpy )

back to equation 1

5075 kj/h = mair ( 300.19 - 285.14 )

mair ( rate of energy transfer ) = 5075 / 15.05 = 337.21 kj/h

B) evaluating the change in flow energy rate in kJ/h

attached below is the detailed solution
