A circular column is fixed at the base and not supported at the top. If the column needs to be 15ft and hold 10kips, what is the

required size of the column? Assume the material is aluminum.

Answer:

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the column, L = 15 ft

Applied load, P = 10 kips = 10 × 10³ Psi

End condition as fixed at the base and free at the top

thus,

Effective length of the column, $\L_e$ = 2L = 30 ft = 360 inches

now, for aluminium

Elastic modulus, E = 1.0 × 10⁷ Psi

Now, from the Euler's critical load, we have

$P =\frac{\pi^2EI}{L_e^2}$

where, I is the moment of inertia

on substituting the respective values, we get

$10\times10^3 =\frac{\pi^2\times1.0\times10^7\times I}{360^2}$

or

I = 13.13 in⁴

also for circular cross-section

I = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

thus,

13.13 = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

or

d = 4.04 inches

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

A tiny, glass sphere has a charge of +10.9 nC. A metal ball bearing, which is 4.00 cm above the glass sphere, experiences an ele

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.12 × 10⁻⁷ C

Explanation:

Given:

Charge on the glass sphere, Q = 10.9 nC = 10.9 × 10⁻⁹ C

Distance between the glass and the metal sphere, r = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m

Force experienced by the metal sphere, F = 0.0130 N

let the charge on the metal sphere be 'q'

Now,

the force due to a charge on the other charge is given as:

$F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}$

where,

k is the coulomb's constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/C²

on substituting the values in the formula, we get

$0.0130=\frac{9\times10^9\times10.9\times10^{-9}\times\q}{0.04^2}$

or

q = 2.12 × 10⁻⁷ C

A Carnot refrigeration cycle absorbs heat at -12 °C and rejects it at 40 °C. a)-Calculate the coefficient of performance of this

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

a)COP=5.01

b) $W_{in}=2.998$ KW

c)COP=6.01

d) $Q_R=17.99 KW$

Explanation:

Given

$T_L$ = -12°C, $T_H$ =40°C

For refrigeration

We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle that have all reversible process.

So COP of refrigeration is given as follows

$COP=\dfrac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}$ ,T in Kelvin.

$COP=\dfrac{261}{313-261}$

a)COP=5.01

Given that refrigeration effect= 15 KW

We know that $COP=\dfrac{RE}{W_{in}}$

RE is the refrigeration effect

So

5.01= $\dfrac{15}{W_{in}}$

b) $W_{in}=2.998$ KW

For heat pump

So COP of heat pump is given as follows

$COP=\dfrac{T_h}{T_H-T_L}$ ,T in Kelvin.

$COP=\dfrac{313}{313-261}$

c)COP=6.01

In heat pump

Heat rejection at high temperature=heat absorb at low temperature+work in put

$Q_R=Q_A+W_{in}$

Given that $Q_A=15$ KW

We know that $COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{W_{in}}$

$COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-Q_A}$

$6.01=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-15}$

d) $Q_R=17.99 KW$

Explain three (3) modes of heat transfer in air conditioning system.

LenKa [72]

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.
