What are the main causes of injuries when using forklifts?

1 answer:

5 0

The forklift overturning is a very common way of getting injured from a forklift. Overturning the forklift means it tips over onto it's side due to the operator turning it too fast.

Determine the total condensation rate of water vapor onto the front surface of a vertical plate that is 10 mm high and 1 m in th

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Q = 63,827.5 W

Explanation:

Given:-

- The dimensions of plate A = ( 10 mm x 1 m )

- The fluid comes at T_sat , 1 atm.

- The surface temperature, T_s = 75°C

Find:-

Determine the total condensation rate of water vapor onto the front surface of a vertical plate

Solution:-

- Assuming drop-wise condensation the heat transfer coefficient for water is given by Griffith's empirical relation for T_sat = 100°C.

h = 255,310 W /m^2.K

- The rate of condensation (Q) is given by Newton's cooling law:

Q = h*As*( T_sat - Ts )

Q = (255,310)*( 0.01*1)*( 100 - 75 )

Q = 63,827.5 W

A total of 245 kip force is applied to a set of 10 similar bolts. If the spring constant of each bolt is 0.4 Mlb/in and that of

zubka84 [21]

Answer: The net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

Explanation:

Given that;

External load applied = 245 kip

number of bolts n = 10

External Load shared by each bolt (P_E) = 245/10 = 24.5 kip

spring constant of the bolt Kb = 0.4 Mlb/in

spring constant of members Kc = 1.6 Mlb/in

combined stiffness factor C = Kb / (kb+kc) = 0.4 / ( 0.4 + 1.6) = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2 Mlb/in

Initial pre load Pi = 40 kip

now for Bolts; both pre load Pi and external load P_E are tensile in nature, therefore we add both of them

External Load on each bolt P_Eb = C × PE = 0.2 × 24.5 = 4.9 kip

So Total net Force on each bolt Fb = P_Eb + Pi

Fb = 4.9 kip + 40 kip

Fb = 44.9 kip

Therefore the net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

The diameter of an extruder barrel = 85 mm and its length = 2.00 m. The screw rotates at 55 rev/min, its channel depth = 8.0 mm,

babunello [35]

Answer:

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 85 mm

length = 2 m

depth = 9mm

N = 60 rev/min

pressure p = 11 × $10^6$ Pa

viscosity n = 100 Pas

angle = 18°

so Qd will be

Qd = 0.5 × π² ×D²×dc × sinA × cosA ..............1

put here value and we get

Qd = 0.5 × π² × ( 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ )²× 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ × sin18 × cos18

Qd = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

and

Qb = p × π × D × dc³ × sin²A ÷ 12 × n × L ............2

Qb = 11 × $10^{6}$ × π × 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ × ( 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ )³ × sin²18 ÷ 12 × 100 × 2

Qb = 85.2 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

so here

volume flow rate Qx = Qd - Qb ..............3

Qx = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ - 85.2 × $10^{-6}$

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s

What's the monomer? Show the structure.

ivolga24 [154]

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The net work per cycle is 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in horsepower ≈ 45374 hP

Explanation:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The dimension of the cylinder bore diameter = 3.7 in. = 0.09398 m

Stroke length = 3.4 in. = 0.08636 m.

The volume of the cylinder v₁= 0.08636 ×(0.09398²)/4 = 5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume = 16% of cylinder volume = 0.16×5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume, v₂ = 9.59 × 10⁻⁵ m³

p₁ = 14.5 lbf/in.² = 99973.981 Pa

T₁ = 60 F = 288.706 K

$\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} \right )^{K-1}$

Otto cycle T-S diagram

T₂ = 288.706* $6.25^{0.393}$ = 592.984 K

The maximum temperature = T₃ = 5200 R = 2888.89 K

$\dfrac{T_{3}}{T_{4}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{4}}{v_{3}} \right )^{K-1}$

T₄ = 2888.89 / $6.25^{0.393}$ = 1406.5 K

Work done, W = $c_v$ ×(T₃ - T₂) - $c_v$ ×(T₄ - T₁)

0.718×(2888.89 - 592.984) - 0.718×(1406.5 - 288.706) = 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in an Otto cycle = W×Cycle per second

= 845.88 × 2400 / 60 = 33,835.377 kW = 45373.99 ≈ 45374 hP.
