Heating of Oil by Air. A flow of 2200 lbm/h of hydrocarbon oil at 100°F enters a heat exchanger, where it is heated to 150°F by

irakobra [83]

Answer:

2062 lbm/h

Explanation:

The air will lose heat and the oil will gain heat.

These heats will be equal in magnitude.

qo = -qa

They will be of different signs because one is entering iits system and the other is exiting.

The heat exchanged by oil is:

qo = Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)

The heat exchanged by air is:

qa = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure is:

Cpa = 0.24 BTU/(lbm*F)

Therefore:

Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi) = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

Ga = (Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)) / (Cpa * (taf - tai))

Ga = (2200 * 0.45 * (150 - 100)) / (0.24 * (300 - 200)) = 2062 lbm/h

A 100 ft long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.0144 in.2. When a force of 270 lb is applied to the wire, its length in

blondinia [14]

Answer:

(a) The stress on the steel wire is 19,000 Psi

(b) The strain on the steel wire is 0.00063

Explanation:

Given;

length of steel wire, L = 100 ft

cross-sectional area, A = 0.0144 in²

applied force, F = 270 lb

extension of the wire, e = 0.75 in

Part (A) The stress on the steel wire;

δ = F/A

= 270 / 0.0144

δ = 18750 lb/in² = 19,000 Psi

Part (B) The strain on the steel wire;

σ = e/ L

L = 100 ft = 1200 in

σ = 0.75 / 1200

σ = 0.00063

Part (C) The modulus of elasticity of the steel

E = δ/σ

= 19,000 / 0.00063

E = 30,000,000 Psi
