Answer:

The moment of inertia of the rotor is approximately 1.105\times 10^{-6} kilogram-square meters.

The rotor inertia may differ from these assumption due to differences in the shape of cross section.

Explanation:

We assume that rotor can be represented as a solid cylinder of radius r, length l, made of cooper (\rho = 8960\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}) and whose axis of rotation passes through its center of mass and is parallel to its cross section. By definition of Moment of Inertia and Theorem of Parallel Axes, the moment of inertia of the rotot is:

I = \frac{1}{4}\cdot \rho \cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right) \cdot R^{3}\cdot (3\cdot R^{2}+L^{2})

I = \frac{\pi}{16}\cdot \rho \cdot R^{3}\cdot (3\cdot R^{2}+L^{2}) (Eq. 1)

Where:

\rho - Density of copper, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

R - Radius of the rotor, measured in meters.

L - Length of the rotor, measured in meters.

I - Moment of inertia, measured in kilogram-square meters.

If we know that \rho = 8960\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, L = 25\times 10^{-3}\,m and R = 8.98\times 10^{-3}\,m, the estimated moment of inertia of the rotor is:

I = \frac{\pi}{16}\cdot \left(8960\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (8.98\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{3}\cdot [3\cdot (8.98\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+(25\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}]

I \approx 1.105\times 10^{-6}\,kg\cdot m^{2}

The moment of inertia of the rotor is approximately 1.105\times 10^{-6} kilogram-square meters.

From D'Alembert's Formula we know that net force of rigid bodies experimenting rotation equals the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration. In this case, the purpose is minimizing moment of inertia and it is done by modifying the shape of the cross section so that rotor could be aerodynamically more efficient.

A 3.5-m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 2 kg/m3 . The tank is connected to a high-pressure supply line throu
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, we find the mass of the air originally in the tank.

Density is given as mass divided by volume. It is given as:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Therefore, mass is:

mass = denisty *volume

Density of air = 2 kg/m^3; Volume of the tank =  3.5 m^3

=> Mass = 3.5 * 2 = 7 kg

The mass of the air initially in the tank is 7 kg.

After air is allowed to enter, the mass changes.

New density = 6.5 kg/m^3

The new mass will be:

Mass = 6.5 * 3.5 = 22.75 kg

We can now find the mass of air that has entered the tank:

Mass of air that entered tank = New mass of air - Original mass of air

M = 22.75 - 7.0 = 15.75 kg

The mass of air that entered the tank is 15.75 kg.

What is the difference between filler and electrode in Welding? Can a filler be an electrode? Can an electrode be a filler? Why?
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

<u>Filler:</u>

  Filler is the material rod is used when we are joining two material by using welding process.If thickness of work piece is more so it will become compulsory to provide some filler material for making the welding join to withstand high stresses.

<u>Electrode:</u>

  Electrode is the element which is used to complete the electric circuit in welding .Some time electrode is connected with positive terminal and some time with negative terminal ,it depends on the requirement of welding process.In Tungsten inert gas welding electrode is connected negative terminal but on the other hand Metal inert gas welding electrode is connected with positive terminal.Electrode can be consumable non-consumable depends on the condition.

Yes electrode can be work as filler material ,in Metal inert gas welding wire is used as electrode as well as filler material.In Metal inert gas welding consumable electrode is used on the other hand Tungsten inert gas welding non-consumable electrode is used.In Tungsten inert gas welding if thickness of work pieces is less than 5 mm then no need to used any filler material but if thickness is more than 5 mm then we have to use filler material.
