Answer:

Absolute pressure , P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

Explanation:

Given that

Gauge pressure P(gauge)=  50 psi

We know that barometer reads atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 29.1 inches of Hg

We know that

1 psi = 6.89 KPa

So 50 psi = 6.89 x 50 KPa

P(gauge)=  50 psi =344.72 KPa

We know that

1 inch = 0.0254 m

29.1 inches = 0.739 m

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 0.739 m of Hg

We know that density of Hg =13.6\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

P = ρ g h

P(atm) = 13.6 x 1000 x 9.81 x 0.739 Pa

P(atm) = 13.6  x 9.81 x 0.739 KPa

P(atm) =98.54 KPa

Now

Absolute pressure = Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure

P(abs)=P(gauge) + P(atm)

P(abs)= 344.72 KPa + 98.54 KPa

P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

Answer: c. Centre of pressure​

Explanation:

Pressure is applied on a surface when a force is exerted on a particular point on that surface by another object when the two come into contact with each other.

The point where the pressure is applied is known as the centre of the pressure with the force then spreading out from this point much like an epicentre in an earthquake.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

W  = 12.8 KW

Explanation:

given data:

mass flow rate = 0.2 kg/s

Engine recieve heat from ground water at 95 degree ( 368 K)  and reject that heat to atmosphere  at 20 degree (293K)

we know that maximum possible efficiency is given as

\eta = 1- \frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1 - \frac{ 293}{368}

\eta = 0.2038

rate of heat transfer is given as

Q_H = \dot m C_p \Delta T

Q_H = 0.2 * 4.18 8(95 - 20)

Q_H = 62.7 kW

Maximuim power is given as

W = \eta Q_H

W = 0.2038 * 62.7

W  = 12.8 KW
