Air at T1 = 32°C, p1 = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate

of 3 kg/min and mixes with a saturated moist air stream entering at T2 = 7°C, p2 = 1 bar. A single mixed stream exits at T3 = 17°C, p3 = 1 bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects
Determine

(a) the relative humidity and temperature, in °C, of the exiting stream.

Answer:

4.5kg/min

Explanation:

Given parameters

T_1 = 32^0 C,  m_1 = 3 kg/min, T_2 = 7^0 C ,T_3 = 17^0

if we take  

The mass flow rate of the second stream = m_2(kg/min)

The mass flow rate of mixed exit stream = m_3 (kg/min)

Now from mass conservation

m_3 = m_2 + m_1

m_3 = m_2 + 3 (kg/min)

The temperature of the mixed exit stream given as

T_3m_3 = T_2m_2 +T_1m_1\\\\17 ( 3 + m_2) = 7 \times m_2 + 32 \times 3\\\\51 + 17 m_2 = 7 m_2 + 96\\\\10 m_2 = 96 - 51\\\\m_2 = 4.5 kg/min\\\\\\\\

Therefore the mass flow rate of second stream will be 4.5 kg/min.

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

Describe the medium/long-range transportation options available to people prior
lakkis [162]

Answer:

answer below:

Explanation:

Before the Industrial Revolution, transportation relied on animals (like horses pulling a cart) and boats. Travel was slow and difficult. It could take months to travel across the United States in the early 1800s before industrial revolution

The Industrial Revolution completely changed the way people traveled and how goods were transported.

the problem of traveling upstream was solved during the industrial revolution by the steam engine. in order to make better use of water transportation, canals were build to connect rivers, lakes and oceans. the invention of the railroad and the steam powered locomotive opened up a whole new world in transportation. even with steamboats and railroads, people still needed a better wat to travel between rivers and train stations. a new process called the "macadam " process was used to create smooth gravel roads

I hope this helps a bit.

In an air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy and 50KJ of heat are rejected to the cooling wate
lozanna [386]

Answer:

work is 50 kj

Explanation:

Given  data

heat (Q) = 50 kj

To find out

work input for the compression stroke per kilogram of air

Solution

we will apply here "first law of thermodynamics" i.e.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, subject to the principle of conservation of energy, that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transferred from one location to another  location. i.e.

ΔU = Q – W                        ................1

here ΔU is change in internal energy, Q is heat and W is work done

here U = 0 because air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy in question

so that by equation 1

Q = W

and Q = 50

so work will be 50 kj
