Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. Technician A says that the computer uses the IAT sensor

as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Technician B says that the powertrain control module (PCM) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. Who is correct

Both the technicians are correct.

Explanation

Intake air temperature sensor is used in engines of vehicles to monitor the temperature of air entering the engine.

They are basically made of thermistors whose electrical resistance changes according to temperature.

Depending upon the reading and accuracy of intake air temperature sensor, the power-train control module (PCM) will decide about the air and fuel mixture ratio in the engine.

The hot air in engine requires less fuel to operate the engine parts while cold air requires more fuel to operate the engine.

The ratio of air and fuel mixture should be maintained in the engine and it is done by PCM only after getting the input from IAT. So technician B is saying correct.

Also the IAT works as a backup to support the engine coolant temperature sensor by the computer.

As the IAT checks the temperature of outside air, it will help to change the coolant temperature of the engine based on the environment.

Thus technician A is also correct. So both the technicians are correct.

Maximum iorsional shear siress.? Select one: a)- occurs at the center of a shaft. b)- occurs at the outer surface of a shaft c)-
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

b). Occurs at the outer surface of the shaft

Explanation:

We know from shear stress and torque relationship, we know that

\frac{T}{J}= \frac{\tau }{r}

where, T = torque

            J = polar moment of inertia of shaft

            τ = torsional shear stress

             r = raduis of the shaft

Therefore from the above relation we see that

            \tau = \frac{T.r}{J}

Thus torsional shear stress, τ is directly proportional to the radius,r of the shaft.

When r= 0, then τ = 0

and when r = R , τ is maximum

Thus, torsional shear stress is maximum at the outer surface of the shaft.

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in
Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T

28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)

Thus

T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

T_{e} = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}

Now,

For Aluminium:

\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K

For Iron:

\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}

\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K

Thus

\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K
