Calculate the availability of a system where the mean time between failures is 900 hours and the mean time to repair is 100 hour

Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

The availability of system will be 0.9

Explanation:

We have given mean time of failure = 900 hours

Mean time [to repair = 100 hour

We have to find availability of system

Availability of system is given by  \frac{mean\time\ of\ failure}{mean\ time\ of\ failure+mean\ time\ to\ repair}

So availability of system =\frac{900}{900+100}=\frac{900}{1000}=0.9

So the availability of system will be 0.9

Answer:

Explanation:

The image attached to the question is shown in the first diagram below.

From the diagram given ; we can deduce a free body diagram which will aid us in solving the question.

IF we take a look at the second diagram attached below ; we will have a clear understanding of what the free body diagram of the system looks like :

From the diagram; we can determine the length of BC by using pyhtagoras theorem;

SO;

L_{BC}^2 =  L_{AB}^2 + L_{AC}^2

L_{BC}^2 = (3.5+2.5)^2+ 4^2

L_{BC}= \sqrt{(6)^2+ 4^2}

L_{BC}= \sqrt{36+ 16}

L_{BC}= \sqrt{52}

L_{BC}= 7.2111 \ m

The cross -sectional of the cable is calculated by the formula :

A = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

where d = 4mm

A = \dfrac{\pi}{4}(4 \ mm * \dfrac{1 \ m}{1000 \ mm})^2

A = 1.26 × 10⁻⁵ m²

However, looking at the maximum deflection  in length \delta ; we can calculate for the force F_{BC by using the formula:

\delta = \dfrac{F_{BC}L_{BC}}{AE}

F_{BC} = \dfrac{ AE \ \delta}{L_{BC}}

where ;

E = modulus elasticity

L_{BC} = length of the cable

Replacing 1.26 × 10⁻⁵ m² for A; 200 × 10⁹ Pa for E ; 7.2111 m for L_{BC} and 0.006 m for \delta ; we have:

F_{BC} = \dfrac{1.26*10^{-5}*200*10^9*0.006}{7.2111}

F_{BC} = 2096.76 \ N \\ \\ F_{BC} = 2.09676 \ kN     ---- (1)

Similarly; we can determine the force F_{BC} using the allowable  maximum stress; we have the following relation,

\sigma = \dfrac{F_{BC}}{A}

{F_{BC}}= {A}*\sigma

where;

\sigma = maximum allowable stress

Replacing 190 × 10⁶ Pa for \sigma ; we have :

{F_{BC}}= 1.26*10^{-5} * 190*10^{6} \\ \\ {F_{BC}}=2394 \ N \\ \\ {F_{BC}}= 2.394 \  kN     ------ (2)

Comparing (1) and  (2)

The magnitude of the force F_{BC} = 2.09676 \ kN since the elongation of the cable should not exceed 6mm

Finally applying the moment equilibrium condition about point A

\sum M_A = 0

3.5 P - (6) ( \dfrac{4}{7.2111}F_{BC}) = 0

3.5 P - 3.328 F_{BC} = 0

3.5 P = 3.328 F_{BC}

3.5 P = 3.328 *2.09676 \  kN

P =\dfrac{ 3.328 *2.09676 \  kN}{3.5 }

P = 1.9937 kN

Hence; the maximum load P that can be applied is 1.9937 kN

It is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water entering at 20 °C?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water that is entering at 20 °C because this temperature (20 °C) of the external cooling water is less than the saturation temperature of steam which is which is 45.81 °C, and heated by a boiler; as a result of this condition, coupled with the assumption that the turbine, pump, and interconnecting tube are adiabatic, and the condenser exchanges its heat with the external cooling river water, it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa.

Reptile [31]

Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before: PT= 0.10, PB= 0.03 (given) ET = 2.5 ER = 2.0 (Table 6.5)

fHV= 0.847 (Eq. 6.5) PHF = 0.95, fp= 0.90, N=2, V = 2200 (given)

vp= V/[PHF⋅fHVTB⋅fp⋅N] = 1518.9 (Eq. 6.3)

BFFS = 50+5, BFFS =55 (given) fLW= 6.6

TLC=6+3=9 fLC= 0.65

fM= 0.0

fA= 1.0

FFS = BFFS −fLW−fLC–fM–fA= 46.75 (Eq. 6.7)

Use FFS=45 D= vp/S = 33.75pc/mi/ln Eq (6.6)

After: fA= 3.0

FFS = BFFS −fLW−fLC–fM–fA= 44.75 (Eq. 6.7)

Use FFS=45 Vnew= 2600 Vp= Va/[PHF⋅fHB⋅fp⋅N] = 1795 (Eq. 6.3) D= vp/S = 39.89pc/mi/ln
