Answer:

a) Using Ideal gas Equation, T = 434.98°R = 435°R

b) Using Van Der Waal's Equation, T = 637.32°R = 637°R

c) T obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is T = 559.67°R = 560°R

Explanation:

a) Ideal gas Equation

PV = mRT

T = PV/mR

P = pressure = 400 psia

V/m = specific volume = 0.1144 ft³/lbm

R = gas constant = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T = 400 × 0.1144/0.1052 = 434.98 °R

b) Van Der Waal's Equation

T = (1/R) (P + (a/v²)) (v - b)

a = Van Der Waal's constant = (27R²(T꜀ᵣ)²)/(64P꜀ᵣ)

R = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T꜀ᵣ = critical temperature for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 673.6°R

P꜀ᵣ = critical pressure for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 588.7 psia

a = (27 × 0.1052² × 673.6²)/(64 × 588.7)

a = 3.596 ft⁶.psia/lbm²

b = (RT꜀ᵣ)/8P꜀ᵣ

b = (0.1052 × 673.6)/(8 × 588.7) = 0.01504 ft³/lbm

T = (1/0.1052) (400 + (3.596/0.1144²) (0.1144 - 0.01504) = 637.32°R

c) The temperature for the refrigerant-134a as obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is

T = 100°F = 559.67°R

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C_{p} = 1000 J/kg K,   R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

P_{1} = 100 kPa,     V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s

T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

     P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}

or,         m = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}

                = \frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}

                = 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W

h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}

C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1}) = 5 K

T_{2} = 5 K + 300 K

T_{2} = 305 K

           = (305 K - 273 K)

           = 32^{o}C

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).
