A thermal energy storage unit consists of a large rectangular channel, which is well insulated on its outer surface and encloses

alternating layers of the storage material and the flow passage. Each layer of the storage material is an aluminum slab of width W=0.05 m, which is at an initial temperature of 25∘C25 ∘C. Consider conditions for which the storage unit is charged by passing a hot gas through the passages, with the gas temperature and the convection coefficient assumed to have constant values of T[infinity]=600∘CT [infinity]=600 ∘C and h=100W/m2⋅Kh=100W/m 2⋅K throughout the channel. How long will it take to achieve 75% of the maximum possible energy storage? What is the temperature of the aluminum at this time?

Answer:

the temperature of the aluminum at this time is 456.25° C

Explanation:

Given that:

width w of the aluminium slab = 0.05 m

the initial temperature T_1 = 25° C

T{\infty} =600^0C

h = 100 W/m²

The properties of Aluminium at temperature of 600° C by considering the conditions for which the storage unit is charged; we have ;

density ρ = 2702 kg/m³

thermal conductivity k = 231 W/m.K

Specific heat c = 1033 J/Kg.K

Let's first find the Biot Number Bi which can be expressed by the equation:

Bi = \dfrac{hL_c}{k} \\ \\ Bi = \dfrac{h \dfrac{w}{2}}{k}

Bi = \dfrac{hL_c}{k} \\ \\ Bi = \dfrac{100 \times \dfrac{0.05}{2}}{231}

Bi = \dfrac{2.5}{231}

Bi = 0.0108

The time constant value \tau_t is :

\tau_t = \dfrac{pL_cc}{h} \\ \\ \tau_t = \dfrac{p \dfrac{w}{2}c}{h}

\tau_t = \dfrac{2702* \dfrac{0.05}{2}*1033}{100}

\tau_t = \dfrac{2702* 0.025*1033}{100}

\tau_t = 697.79

Considering Lumped capacitance analysis since value for Bi is less than 1

Then;

Q= (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]

where;

Q = -\Delta E _{st} which correlates with the change in the internal energy of the solid.

So;

Q= (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]= -\Delta E _{st}

The maximum value for the change in the internal energy of the solid  is :

(pVc)\theta_1 = -\Delta E _{st}max

By equating the two previous equation together ; we have:

\dfrac{-\Delta E _{st}}{\Delta E _{st}{max}}= \dfrac{  (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]} { (pVc)\theta_1}

Similarly; we need to understand that the ratio of the energy storage to the maximum possible energy storage = 0.75

Thus;

0.75=  [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]}

So;

0.75=  [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}]}

1-0.75=  [e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}]}

0.25 =  e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}

In(0.25) =  {\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}

-1.386294361= \dfrac{-t}{697.79}

t = 1.386294361 × 697.79

t = 967.34 s

Finally; the temperature of Aluminium is determined as follows;

\dfrac{T - T _{\infty}}{T_1-T_{\infty}}= e ^ {\dfrac{-t}{\tau_t}}

\dfrac{T - 600}{25-600}= e ^ {\dfrac{-967.34}{697.79}

\dfrac{T - 600}{25-600}= 0.25

\dfrac{T - 600}{-575}= 0.25

T - 600 = -575 × 0.25

T - 600 = -143.75

T = -143.75 + 600

T = 456.25° C

Hence; the temperature of the aluminum at this time is 456.25° C

A certain heat pump produces 200 kW of heating for a 293 K heated zone while only using 75 kW of power and a heat source at 273
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65

Explanation:

Given:

Q(h) = 200 KW

W = 75 KW

Temperature (T1) = 293 K

Temperature (T2) = 273 K

Find:

COP(heat pump)

COP(Theoretical maximum)

Computation:

COP(heat pump) = Q(h) / W

COP(heat pump) = 200 / 75

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = T1 / (T1 - T2)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / (293 - 273)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / 20

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65

Tech A says you can find the typical angle of a V-block engine by dividing the number of cylinders by 720
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Tech A is right as its V- angle is identified by splitting the No by 720 °. Of the piston at the edge of the piston.

Tech B is incorrect, as the V-Angle will be 720/10 = 72 for the V-10 motor, and he says 60 °.

Find the differential and evaluate for the given x and dx: y=sin2xx,x=π,dx=0.25
Sedaia [141]

By applying the concepts of differential and derivative, the differential for y = (1/x) · sin 2x and evaluated at x = π and dx = 0.25 is equal to 1/2π.

<h3>How to determine the differential of a one-variable function</h3>

Differentials represent the <em>instantaneous</em> change of a variable. As the given function has only one variable, the differential can be found by using <em>ordinary</em> derivatives. It follows:

dy = y'(x) · dx     (1)

If we know that y = (1/x) · sin 2x, x = π and dx = 0.25, then the differential to be evaluated is:

y' = -\frac{1}{x^{2}}\cdot \sin 2x + \frac{2}{x}\cdot \cos 2x

y' = \frac{2\cdot x \cdot \cos 2x - \sin 2x}{x^{2}}

dy = \left(\frac{2\cdot x \cdot \cos 2x - \sin 2x}{x^{2}} \right)\cdot dx

dy = \left(\frac{2\pi \cdot \cos 2\pi -\sin 2\pi}{\pi^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.25)

dy = \frac{1}{2\pi}

By applying the concepts of differential and derivative, the differential for y = (1/x) · sin 2x and evaluated at x = π and dx = 0.25 is equal to 1/2π.

A PMMA plate with a 25 mm (width) x 6.5 mm (thickness) cross-section has a contained crack of length 2c = 0.5 mm in the center o
victus00 [196]

Answer:

LAOD = 6669.86 N

Explanation:

Given data:

width= 25 mm = 25\times 10^{-3} m

thickness = 6.5 mm = 6.5\times 10^{-3} m

crack length 2c = 0.5 mm at centre of specimen

\sigma _{applied} =  1000 N/cross sectional area

stress intensity factor  =  k  will be

\sigma_{applied} = \frac{1000}{25\times 10^{-3}\times 6.5\times 10^{-3}}

                   = 6.154\times 10^{6} Pa

we know that

k =\sigma_{applied} (\sqrt{\pi C})

  =6.154\sqrt{\pi (2.5\times 10^{-04})}          [c =0.5/2 = 2.5*10^{-4}]

K = 0.1724 Mpa m^{1/2} for 1000 load

ifK_C = 1.15 Mpa m^{1/2} then load will be

Kc = \sigma _{frac}(\sqrt{\pi C})

1.15 MPa = \sigma _{frac}\times \sqrt{\pi (2.5\times 10^{-04})}

\sigma _{frac} = 41.04 MPa

load = \sigma _{frac}\times Area

load = 41.04 \times 10^6 \times 25\times 10^{-3}\times 6.5\times 10^{-3} N

LAOD = 6669.86 N
