Answer:

Power required to drive the escalator shall be equal to the rate at which the energies of the persons is increased.

Energy=n\times mass\times g\times h\\\\\therefore Power=n\times mass\times g\times \frac{dh}{dt}\\\\Power=50\times 75\times 9.81\times 0.6sin(45)\\\\Power=15.607kW

As we infer from the above equation If the velocity of the escalator is doubled then the Power required will also be doubled and become 31.215kW

The thrust angle is checked by referencing
anygoal [31]

In Engineering, the thrust angle is checked by referencing: C. vehicle centerline.

<h3>What is a thrust angle?</h3>

A thrust angle can be defined as an imaginary line which is drawn perpendicularly from the centerline of the rear axle of a vehicle, down the centerline.

This ultimately implies that, the thrust angle is a reference to the centerline (wheelbase) of a vehicle, and it confirms that the two wheels on both sides are properly angled within specification.

One kilogram of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K, and 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2), initially at 2 bar, 450 K, are confined to opp
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Energy alance of 2 closed systems: Heat from CO2 equals the heat that is added to air in

m_{a} c_{v,a}(T_{eq} -T_{a,i)} =m_{co2} c_{v,co2} (T_{co2,i} -T_{eq)}

1x0.723x(T_{eq} -350)=3x0.780x(450-T_{eq} ) ⇒T_{eq} = 426.4 °K

The initail volumes of the gases can be determined by the ideal gas equation of state,

V_{a,i}  = \frac{mRT_{a,i} }{P_{a,i} }=  \frac{1x (8.314 28.97 kJ kg • °K)x 350°K}{5 bar x 100KPa bar} = 0.201m^{3}

The equilibrium pressure of the gases can also be obtained by the ideal gas equation

P_{eq=\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,eq}+V_{CO2,eq)} } =\frac{(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq})+(m_{a}R_{a}T_{eq} ) }{(V_{a,i}+V_{CO2,i)} }

P_{eq}= 1x(8.314 28.97)x426.4+3x(8.314 44)x426.4

                             (0.201+1.275)

= 246.67 KPa = 2.47 bar
