Answer:

For this system to be efficient, the surfaces above the luminous ceiling must be white, so that all the light been transmitted is reflected.

Explanation:

White surfaces reflect light at almost 100% efficiency, this ensures that non of the light been transmitted is absorbed.

Thus, if one type of illumination system consists of rows of strip fluorescents and a ceiling that will transmit light. For this system to be efficient, the surfaces above the luminous ceiling must be white so that all the light been transmitted is reflected.

A heat pump designer claims to have an air-source heat pump whose coefficient of performance is 1.8 when heating a building whos
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The claim is valid.

Explanation:

Let assume that heat pump is reversible. The coefficient of performance for the heat pump is:

COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

COP_{HP} = \frac{300\,K}{300\,K-260\,K}

COP_{HP} = 7.5

The claim is valid as real heat pumps have lower coefficients of performance.

Calculate the load, PP, that would cause AA to be displaced 0.01 inches to the right. The wires ABAB and ACAC are A36 steel and
Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

The pic shown can help to understand the question.

A spring-loaded piston-cylinder contains 1 kg of carbon dioxide. This system is heated from 104 kPa and 25 °C to 1,068 kPa and 3
labwork [276]

Answer:

Q = -68.859 kJ

Explanation:

given details

mass co_2 = 1 kg

initial pressure P_1 = 104 kPa

Temperature T_1 = 25 Degree C = 25+ 273 K = 298 K

final pressure P_2 = 1068 kPa

Temperature T_2 = 311 Degree C = 311+ 273 K = 584 K

we know that

molecular mass of co_2 = 44

R = 8.314/44 = 0.189 kJ/kg K

c_v = 0.657 kJ/kgK

from ideal gas equation

PV =mRT

V_1 = \frac{m RT_1}{P_1}

       =\frac{1*0.189*298}{104}

V_1 = 0.5415 m3

V_2 = \frac{m RT_2}{P_2}

     =\frac{1*0.189*584}{1068}

V_1 = 0.1033 m3

WORK DONE

W =P_{avg}*{V_2-V_1}

w = 586*(0.1033 -0.514)

W =256.76 kJ

INTERNAL ENERGY IS

\Delta U  = m *c_v*{V_2-V_1}

\Delta U  = 1*0.657*(584-298)

\Delta U  =187.902 kJ

HEAT TRANSFER

Q = \Delta U  +W

   = 187.902 +(-256.46)

Q = -68.859 kJ

In the fully developed region of flow in a circular pipe, does the velocity profile change in the flow direction?
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>No, the velocity profile does not change in the flow direction.</em>

Explanation:

In a fluid flow in a circular pipe, the boundary layer thickness increases in the direction of flow, until it reaches the center of the pipe, and fill the whole pipe. If the density, and other properties of the fluid does not change either by heating or cooling of the pipe, <em>then the velocity profile downstream becomes fully developed, and constant, and does not change in the direction of flow.</em>
