Answer:

metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

Explanation:

The four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, composite, ceramics and polymers.

i) Metals: Metals are solids made up of atoms held by matrix of electrons. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, ductile and strong.

ii) Composite: This is a combination of two or more materials. They have high strength to weight ratio, stiff, low conductivity. E.g are wood, concrete.

iii) Ceramics: They are inorganic, non-metallic crystalline compounds with high hardness and strength as well as poor conductors of electricity and heat.

iv) Polymers: They have low weight and are poor conductors of electricity and heat

Vika [28.1K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An air-standard Diesel cycle engine operates as follows: The temperatures at the beginning and end of the compression stroke are 30 °C and 700 °C, respectively. The net work per cycle is 590.1 kJ/kg, and the heat transfer input per cycle is 925 kJ/kg. Determine the a) compression ratio, b) maximum temperature of the cycle, and c) the cutoff ratio, v3/v2.

Use the cold air standard assumptions.

Answer:

a) The compression ratio is 18.48

b) The maximum temperature of the cycle is 1893.4 K

c) The cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂ is 1.946

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Temperature at the start of a compression T₁ = 30°C = (30 + 273) = 303 K

Temperature at the end of a compression T₂ = 700°C = (700 + 273) = 973 K

Net work per cycle $W_{net$ = 590.1 kJ/kg

Heat transfer input per cycle Qs = 925 kJ/kg

a) compression ratio;

As illustrated in the diagram below, 1 - 2 is adiabatic compression;

so,

Tγ $^{Y-1$ = constant { For Air, γ = 1.4 }

hence;

⇒ V₁ / V₂ = $($ T₂ / T₁ $)^{\frac{1}{Y-1}$

so we substitute

⇒ V₁ / V₂ = $($ 973 K / 303 K $)^{\frac{1}{1.4-1}$

= $($ 3.21122 $)^{\frac{1}{0.4}$

= 18.4788 ≈ 18.48

Therefore, The compression ratio is 18.48

b) maximum temperature of the cycle

We know that for Air, Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK

Now,

Heat transfer input per cycle Qs = Cp( T₃ - T₂ )

we substitute

925 = 1.005( T₃ - 700 )

( T₃ - 700 ) = 925 / 1.005

( T₃ - 700 ) = 920.398

T₃ = 920.398 + 700

T₃ = 1620.398 °C

T₃ = ( 1620.398 + 273 ) K

T₃ = 1893.396 K ≈ 1893.4 K

Therefore, The maximum temperature of the cycle is 1893.4 K

c) the cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂;

Since pressure is constant, V ∝ T

So,

cutoff ratio S = v₃ / v₂ = T₃ / T₂

we substitute

cutoff ratio S = 1893.396 K / 973 K

cutoff ratio S = 1.9459 ≈ 1.946

Therefore, the cutoff ratio, v₃/v₂ is 1.946

A water pump delivers 3 hp of shaft power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the p

Natali [406]

Answer:

Mechanical Efficiency = 83.51%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi

Flow rate = $V=8ft^3/s\\$

Power of Pump = 3 hp

Required:

Mechanical Efficiency

Solution:

We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.

$P=1.2*6.895 = 8.274KPa\\V=8*0.00283=0.226 m^3/s\\P=3*0.746=2.238KW$

Now we will find the change in energy.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.

Thus change in energy is

$=(Mass * change in P)/density\\= \frac{M*P}{p}\\\\$

As we know that Mass = Volume x density

substituting the value

Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density

Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP

Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW

Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft

Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238

Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
