Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a p

ressure of 101 kPa on top of the 0.5-m-diameter piston. The gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 1.2 kPa. The local acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2 . Subsequently, a weight is placed on top of the piston causing the piston to fall until reaching a new static equilibrium position. At this position, the gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 2.8 kPa. Determine (a) the mass of the piston, in kg, and (b) the mass of the added weight, in kg

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably made of

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Made of Silicon.

Explanation:

A diode is a semiconductor device use in mostly electronic appliances. It is two terminals device consisting of a P-N junction formed either in Germanium or silicon crystal.

Diode can be forward biased or reverse biased.

When a diode is forward biased and the applied voltage is increased from zero, hardly any current flows through the device in the beginning.

It is so because the external voltage is being opposed by the internal barrier voltage whose value is 0.7v for silicon and 0.3v for germanium.

If you measure 0.7 V across a diode, the diode is probably therefore made of Silicon.

To compute the energy used by a motor, multiply the power that it draws by the time of operation. Con- sider a motor that draws

ehidna [41]

Answer:

E=52000Hp.h

E=38724920Wh

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must multiply the engine power by the time factor expressed in h / year, to find this value you must perform the conventional unit conversion procedure.

Finally, when you have the result Hp h / year you convert it to Ftlb and Wh

$E=(12.5hp)(\frac{16h}{day} )(\frac{5 days}{week} )(\frac{52week}{year} )\\$

E=52000Hp.h

$E=52000Hp.h(\frac{744.71Wh}{Hp.h} )\\$

E=38724920Wh

$E=52000Hph(\frac{1977378.4 ft lb}{1Hph}$

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

The hot and cold inlet temperatures to a concentric tube heat exchanger are Th,i = 200°C, Tc,i = 100°C, respectively. The outlet

alexgriva [62]

Answer:Counter,

0.799,

1.921

Explanation:

Given data

$T_{h_i}=200^{\circ}C$

$T_{h_o}=120^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_i}=100^{\circ}C$

$T_{c_o}=125^{\circ}C$

Since outlet temperature of cold liquid is greater than hot fluid outlet temperature therefore it is counter flow heat exchanger

Equating Heat exchange

$m_hc_{ph}\left [ T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right ]=m_cc_{pc}\left [ T_{c_o}-T_{c_i}\right ]$

$\frac{m_hc_{ph}}{m_cc_{pc}}$ = $\frac{125-100}{200-120}=\frac{25}{80}=C\left ( capacity rate ratio\right )$

we can see that heat capacity of hot fluid is minimum

Also from energy balance

$Q=UA\Delta T_m=\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )$

$NTU=\frac{UA}{\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}}$ = $\frac{\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )}{T_m}$

$T_m=\frac{\left ( 200-125\right )-\left ( 120-100\right )}{\ln \frac{75}{20}}$

$T_m=41.63^{\circ}C$

NTU=1.921

$And\ effectiveness \epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}{1-c\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}$

$\epsilon =\frac{1-0.2669}{1-0.0834}$

$\epsilon =0.799$

If it took 2 hours to clean 4 houses how many houses could be cleaned in 3 hours

Lena [83]

Answer:

6 houses

Explanation:

because

2hrs=4 houses which means you are cleaning 2houses in one hour

so in 3 hours you will houses because you will clean 2 houses in one hour
