Answer:

a) m = 0.3003 kg/s

b) Vel1 = 6.25 m/s, Vel2 = 7.3725 m/s

c) 12.845 KW

Explanation:

a)

using ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

since, n = no. of moles = m/M

therefore,

PV = (m/M)RT

P1 v1 = RT1/M

where,

P1 = inlet pressure = 1 bar = 100000 Pa

v1 = specific volume at inlet = ?

R = universal gas constant = 8.314 KJ/Kmol.k

T1 = inlet temperature = 290 K

M = Molecular mass of air = 28.9628 Kg/kmol

Therefore,

v1 = (8.314 KJ/Kmol.k)(290 k)/(28.9628 kg/kmol)(100 KPa)

v1 = 0.83246 m³/kg

Now, the mass flow rate can be given as:

Mass Flow Rate = (Volume Flow Rate)/(v1)

Mass Flow Rate = (0.25 m³/s)/(0.83246 m³/kg)

<u>Mass Flow Rate = 0.3003 kg/s</u>

b)

using general gas equation to find the specific volume at the exit first, we get:

P1v1/T1 = P2v2/T2

v2 = P1 v1 T2/T1 P2

where,

P1 = inlet pressure = 1 bar

P2 = exit pressure = 0.95 bar

T1 = inlet temperature = 290 k

T2 = exit temperature = 325 k

v1 = specific volume at inlet = 0.83246 m³/kg

v2 = specific volume at exit = ?

Therefore,

v2 = (1 bar)(0.83246 m³/kg)(325 k)/(290 k)(0.95 bar)

v2 = 0.98203 m³/kg

Now, for velocity, we use formula:

Vel = v/A

where,

A = Area = 0.04 m²

For inlet:

Vel1 = Inlet Volume flow Rate/A = (0.25 m³/s)/(0.04 m²)

<u>Vel1 = 6.25 m/s</u>

For exit:

Vel2 = Exit Volume flow Rate/A = (Mass Flow Rate)(v2)/(0.04 m²)

Vel2 = (0.98203 m³/kg)(0.3003 kg/s)/0.04 m²

<u>Vel2 = 7.3725 m/s</u>

c)

using first law of thermodynamics, with no work done, we can derive the formula given below:

Q = m(h2 - h1) + (m/2)(Vel2² - Vel1²)

where,

Q = rate of heat transfer

m = mass flow rate = 0.3003 kg/s

m(h2 - h1) = change in enthalpy = mCpΔT   , for ideal gas

Vel1 = 6.25 m/s

Vel2 = 7.3725 m/s

Also,

Cp in this case will be function of temperature and given as:

Cp = KR/(K-1)

where,

K = 1.4

R = Gas constant per molecular mass of air = 0.28699 KJ/kg.k

Therefore,

Cp = 1.0045 KJ/kg.k

Now, using the values in the expression of first law of thermodynamics, we get:

Q = (0.3003 kg/s)(1.0045 KJ/kg.k)(35 K) + [(0.3003 kg/s)/2][(7.3725 m/s)² - (6.25 m/s)²]

Q = 10.55 KW + 2.29 KW

<u>Q = 12.845 KW</u>

Answer:

A) Mass flow rate = 0.3004 Kg/s

B) Velocity at Inlet = 6.25 m/s

Velocity at exit = 7.3725 m/s

C) Rate of heat transfer = 12.858 Kw

Explanation:

T1 = 290K ;P1 = 1 bar = 100 KPa

T2= 325K ; P2 = 0.95 bar = 95 KPa

A = 0.04 m² ; k = 1.4

Molar mass of air = 28.97 Kg/Kmol

R = 8.314 J/molK

A) Since we are dealing with a steady state mass flow rate through an open system, we will treat this as an ideal gas. Thus ;

PV = nRT

n=m/M where m =1

Thus; V1 = RT1/MP1 = (8.314 X 290)/(28.97 x 100) = 0.8323 m³/Kg

Now, mass flow rate is given by;

Mass flow rate(m') = Volumetric flow rate(V')/Volume(v)

Thus; Mass flow rate(m') = 0.25/0.8323 = 0.3004 Kg/s

From Gay lussacs law; P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

So to find the volume at the exit which is V2, let's make V2 the subject of the formula;

(P1V1T2)/(P2T1) = V2

So; V2 = (100 x 0.8323 x 325)/(95 x 290) = 0.9818 m³/kg

B) we know that velocity = volumetric flow rate/area

Thus;

At inlet; Velocity (Vi) = 0.25/0.04 = 6.25m/s

At exit; Velocity (Ve) = Volumetric flow rate at exit/ Area.

We don't know the volumetric flow at exit so let's look for it. from earlier, we saw that;

volumetric flow rate/Volume = mass flow rate

And rearranging, volumetric flow rate(V') = mass flow rate(m) x volume(v)

So V' = 0.3004 x 0.9818 = 0.2949 Kg/s

So, Ve = 0.2949/0.04 = 7.3725 m/s

C) The steady state equation when potential energy is neglected is given by the formula;

Q'= m'Cp(T2 - T1) + (m'/2){(Ve)² - (Vi)²}

Where Q' is the rate of heat transfer.

Cp is unknown. The formula to find Cp is given as ;

Cp = KR/(K-1)

Since we are dealing with change in enthalpy here, the gas constant R will be expressed per molecular mass of the air and so R = 0.287 KJ/kg.k

Cp = (1.4 x 0.287)/(1.4 - 1) = 1.0045 Kj/KgK

And so, Q' = (0.3004 x 1.0045)(325 - 290) + (0.3004/2){(7.3725)² - (6.25)²} = 10.5613 + 2.2967 = 12.858 Kw

What is the significance of Saint Venant's principle?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.

Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.

An ant starts at one edge of a long strip of paper that is 34.2 cm wide. She travels at 1.3 cm/s at an angle of 61◦ with the lon
ankoles [38]

Answer:

t = 30.1 sec

Explanation:

If the ant is moving at a constant speed, the velocity vector will have the same magnitude at any point, and can be decomposed in two vectors, along directions perpendicular each other.

If we choose these directions coincident with the long edge of the paper, and the other perpendicular to it, the components of the velocity vector, along these axes, can be calculated as the projections of this vector along these axes.

We are only interested in the component of the velocity across the paper, that can be calculated as follows:

vₓ = v* sin θ, where v is the magnitude of the velocity, and θ the angle that forms v with the long edge.

We know that v= 1.3 cm/s, and θ = 61º, so we can find vₓ as follows:

vₓ = 1.3 cm/s * sin 61º = 1.3 cm/s * 0.875 = 1.14 cm/s

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can solve for t:

t =\frac{x}{vx} = \frac{34.2 cm}{1.14 cm/s} =30.1 sec

⇒ t = 30.1 sec

An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that uses refrigerant-134a as its working fluid maintains a condenser at 800 kPa
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

COP = 3.828

W' = 39.18 Kw

Explanation:

From the table A-11 i attached, we can find the entropy for the state 1 at -20°C.

h1 = 238.43 KJ/Kg

s1 = 0.94575 KJ/Kg.K

From table A-12 attached we can do the same for states 3 and 4 but just enthalpy at 800 KPa.

h3 = h4 = hf = 95.47 KJ/Kg

For state 2, we can calculate the enthalpy from table A-13 attached using interpolation at 800 KPa and the condition s2 = s1. We have;

h2 = 275.75 KJ/Kg

The power would be determined from the energy balance in state 1-2 where the mass flow rate will be expressed through the energy balance in state 4-1.

W' = m'(h2 - h1)

W' = Q'_L((h2 - h1)/(h1 - h4))

Where Q'_L = 150 kW

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

W' = 150((275.75 - 238.43)/(238.43 - 95.47))

W' = 39.18 Kw

Formula foe COP is;

COP = Q'_L/W'

COP = 150/39.18

COP = 3.828
