Answer:

1. Conduction

2. Convection

3. Radiation

Explanation:

The 3 modes of heat transfer i an air conditioning system:

1. Conduction:

The transfer of heat by conduction takes place in solid and is when the conduction takes place as a result of direct contact in between the interacting material which transfer the heat energy from particle to particle thus conducting the heat through out the system.

2. Convection:

The other mode for the transfer of heat which takes place especially in fluids - gases and liquids is through the technique of convection in which the transfer of heat takes place by the circular motion of the atoms and molecules of the fluid which carries the heat energy and results in the distribution of the heated fluid in the entire system thus transferring all the heat energy in the entire system.

3. Radiation:

The third mode of heat transfer in the air conditioning system is through radiation. This method transfers the heat by making use of the electro-magnetic radiation in the infra red spectrum where the waves of the spectrum transfers the heat energy with the help of a medium or without any medium at all.

Thus making the radiation method of heat transfer as the only method out of the three methods which does not require the material medium for the transfer of heat energy.

What is the IMA of this pulley belt system if the diameter of the input

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

The ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley IMA = D'/D where D' = diameter of output pulley = 7 inches and D = diameter of input pulley = 2.5 inches

So, IMA = D'/D

= 7/2.5

= 2.8

So, the ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley IMA = 2.8

10% A steel beam W18x76 spans 32 feet and is subjected to a Moment of 334 kips-ft. Find the load w on the beam. Determine the de

Lilit [14]

Answer:

w = 10.437 kips

deflection at 1/4 span 20.83\E ft

at mid span = 1.23\E ft

shear stress 7.3629 psi

Explanation:

area of cross section = 18*76

length of span = 32 ft

moment = 334 kips-ft

we know that

moment = load *eccentricity

334 = w * 32

w = 10.437 kips

deflection at 1/4 span

$\delta = \frac{wa^2b^2}{3EI}$

$= \frac{10.4375*8^2 *24^2}{3E \frac{BD^3}{12}}$

$=\frac{10.437 *8^2*24^2}{3E \frac{18*16^3}{12}}$

= 20.83\E ft

at mid span

$\delta = \frac{wl^3}{48EI}$

$= \frac{10.43 *32^3}{48 *E*\frac{18*16^3}{12}}$

$\delta = 1.23\E ft$

shear stress

$\tau = \frac{w}{A} = \frac{10.43 7*10^3}{18*76} =7.3629 psi$

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following

torisob [31]

Given:

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following for air at 300 K and engine oil at 380 K. Assume the free stream velocity is 3 m/s.

To Find:

a. The distance from the leading edge at which the transition will occur.

b. Expressions for the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses as a function of x for a laminar boundary layer

c. Which fluid has a higher heat transfer

Calculation:

The transition from the lamina to turbulent begins when the critical Reynolds

number reaches $5\times 10^5$

$(a). \;\text{Rex}_{cr}=5 \times 10^5\\\\\frac{\rho\;vx}{\mu}=5 \times 10^5\\\text{density of of air at}\;300K=1.16 \frac{kg}{m\cdot s}\\\text{viscosity of of air at}\;300K=1.846 \times 10^{-5} \frac{kg}{m\cdot s} \\v=3m/s\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 10^5 \times 1.846 \times 10^{-5} }{1.16 \times 3} =2.652 \;m \;\text{for air}\\(\text{similarly for engine oil at 380 K for given}\; \rho \;\text{and} \;\mu)\\$

$(b).\; \text{For the lamina boundary layer momentum boundary layer thickness is given by}:\\\frac{\delta}{x} =\frac{5}{\sqrt{R_e}}\;\;\;\;\quad\text{for}\; R_e$ $(c). \frac{\delta}{\delta_t}={P_r}^{\frac{r}{3}}\\\text{For air} \;P_r \;\text{equivalent 1 hence both momentum and heat dissipate with the same rate for oil}\; \\P_r >>1 \text{heat diffuse very slowly}\\\text{So heat transfer rate will be high for air.}\\\text{Convective heat transfer coefficient will be high for engine oil.}$
