Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.

Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.  

One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

OverLord2011 [107]

Engine cylinder pressure

<u>Explanation:</u>

  1. Brake mean effective pressure is a method to calculate  the engine cylinder pressure which  would give the measured brake horsepower. Brake mean effective pressure is used to identify engine efficiency regardless of capacity or engine speed.
  2. It is used to identify engine efficiency.It is measured by means of transducers or pressure gauges.
  3. It is the measure of engine capacity to do work.

A rigid tank contains 1 kg of oxygen (O2) at p1 = 35 bar, T1 = 180 K. The gas is cooled until the temperature drops to 150 K. De
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a. Volume = 13.36 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 29.17 bar  b. Volume = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 22.5 bar

Explanation:

Mass of O₂ = 1kg, Pressure (P1) = 35bar, T1= 180K, T2= 150k Molecular weight of O₂ = 32kg/Kmol

Volume of tank and final pressure using a)Ideal Gas Equation and b) Redlich - Kwong Equation

a. PV=mRT

V = {1 x (8314/32) x 180}/(35 x 10⁵) = 13.36 x 10^-3

Since it is a rigid tank the volume of the tank must remain constant and hnece we can say

T2/T1 = P2/P1, solving for P2

P2 = (150/180) x 35 = 29.17bar

b. P1 = {RT1/(v1-b)} - {a/v1(v1+b)(√T1)}

where R, a and b are constants with the values of, R = 0.08314bar.m³/kmol.K, a = 17.22(m³/kmol)√k, b = 0.02197m³/kmol

solving for v1

35 = {(0.08314 x 180)/(v1 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(v1)(v1 + 0.02197)(√180)}

35 = {14.96542/(v1-0.02197)} - {1.2835/v1(v1 + 0.02197)}

Using Trial method to find v1

for v1 = 0.5

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.5-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.5(0.5 + 0.02197)} = 31.30 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.4

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.4-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.4(0.4 + 0.02197)} = 39.58 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.45

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.45-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.45(0.45 + 0.02197)} = 34.96 ≅ 35

Specific Volume = 35 m³/kmol

V = m x Vspecific/M = (1 x 0.45)/32 = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³

For Pressure P2, we know that v2= v1

P2 = {RT2/(v2-b)} - {a/v2(v2+b)(√T2)} = {(0.08314 x 150)/(0.45 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(0.45)(0.45 + 0.02197)(√150)} = 22.5 bar
