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

Find the Rectangular form of the following phasors?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The angles are missing in the question.

The angles are :

45,     30,    60,     90,    -34,     -56,      20,     -42,  -65,    -15

P=10, P=5,  P=25, P=54, P=65, P=95, P=250, P=8, P=35, P=150

Explanation:

1. P = 10,   θ = 45°  rectangular coordinates

x = r cosθ  ,   y = r sinθ

So, rectangular form is x + iy

x = P cosθ = 10 cos 45°

  = 7.07

y =P sinθ = 10 sin 45°

  = 7.07

Therefore, rectangular form

x + iy = 7.07 + i (7.07)

2. P = 5 , θ = 30°

x = 5 cos  30° = 4.33

y = 5 sin  30° = 2.5

So, (x+iy) = 4.33 + i (2.5)

3. P = 25 , θ = 60°

x = 25 cos  60° = 12.5

y = 25 sin  60° = 21.65

So, (x+iy) = 12.5 + i (21.65)

4. P = 54 , θ = 90°

x = 54 cos  90° = 0

y = 54 sin  90° = 54

So, (x+iy) = 0+ i (54)

5. P = 65 , θ = -34°

x = 65 cos  (-34°) = 53.88

y = 65 sin  (-34°) = -36.34

So, (x+iy) = 53.88 - i (36.34)

6. P = 95 , θ = -56°

x = 95 cos  (-56)° = 53.12

y = 95 sin  (-56)° = -78.75

So, (x+iy) = 53.12 - i (78.75)

7. P = 250 , θ = 20°

x = 250 cos  20° = 234.92

y = 250 sin 20° = 85.5

So, (x+iy) = 234.92 + i (85.5)

8. P = 8 , θ = (-42)°

x = 8 cos  (-42)° = 5.94

y = 8 sin  (-42)° = -5.353

So, (x+iy) = 5.94 - i (5.353)

9. P = 35 , θ = (-65)°

x = 35 cos  (-65)° = 14.79

y = 35 sin  (-65)° = -31.72

So, (x+iy) = 14.79 - i (31.72)

10. P = 150 , θ = (-15)°

x = 150 cos  (-15)° = 144.88

y = 150 sin  (-15)° = -38.82

So, (x+iy) = 144.88 - i (38.82)

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.
ddd [48]

Answer:

P = 150.335\,kPa (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 150.335\,kPa

why is the thermal conductivity of super insolation order of magnitude lower than the thermal conductivity of ordinary insulatio
Anni [7]

Answer:

Super insulation are obtained by using layers of highly reflective sheets separated by glass fibers in an vacuumed space. Radiation heat transfer between any of the surfaces is inversely proportional to the number of sheets used and thus heat lost by radiation will be very low by using these highly reflective sheets which will an effective way of heat transfer.
