Air is compressed isothermally from 13 psia and 55°F to 80 psia in a reversible steady-flow device. Calculate the work required,

solong [7]

Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67 x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s)

4vir4ik [10]

A wastewater plant discharges a treated effluent (w) with a flow rate of 1.1 m^3/s, 50 mg/L BOD5 and 2 mg/L DO into a river (s) with a flow rate of 8.7 m^3/s, 6 mg/L BOD5 and 8.3 mg/L DO. Both streams are at 20Â°C. After mixing, the river is 3 meters deep and flowing at a velocity of 0.50 m/s. DOsat for this river is 9.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant is kd= 0.20 d^-1 and The reaction rate constant k at 20 Â°C is 0.27 d^-1.

The answer therefore would be the number 0.27 divided by two and then square while getting the square you would make it a binomial.

I wont give the answer but the steps

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

1.

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

2.

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$

You have a motor such that if you give it 12 Volt, it will eventually reach a steady state speed of 200 rad/s. If it starts from

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) $\frac{Ws}{Es} = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}$

b) attached below

c) type zero system

d) k > $\frac{g}{200}$

e) The gain K increases above % error as the steady state speed increases

Explanation:

Given data:

Motor voltage = 12 v

steady state speed = 200 rad/s

time taken to reach 63.2% = 1.2 seconds

<u>a) The transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed</u>

let ; $\frac{K1}{1+St}$ be the transfer function of a motor

when i/p = 12v then steady state speed ( k1 ) = 200 rad/s , St ( time constant ) = 1.2 sec

hence the transfer function of the motor from voltage to speed

= $\frac{Ws}{Es} = \frac{200}{1+1.2s}$

<u>b) draw the block diagram of the system with plant controller and the feedback path </u>

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

c) The system is a type-zero system because the pole at the origin is zero

d) ) k > $\frac{g}{200}$
