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.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Exit temperature = 32 °C

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Pressure;P1 = 100 KPa

Cp =1000 J/kg.K = 1 KJ/kg.k

R = 500 J/kg.K = 0.5 Kj/Kg.k

Initial temperature;T1 = 27°C = 273 + 27K = 300 K

volume flow rate;V' = 15 m³/s

W = 130 Kw

Q = 80 Kw

Using ideal gas equation,

PV' = m'RT

Where m' is mass flow rate.

Thus;making m' the subject, we have;

m' = PV'/RT

So at inlet,

m' = P1•V1'/(R•T1)

m' = (100 × 15)/(0.5 × 300)

m' = 10 kg/s

From steady flow energy equation, we know that;

m'•h1 + Q = m'h2 + W

Dividing through by m', we have;

h1 + Q/m' = h2 + W/m'

h = Cp•T

Thus,

Cp•T1 + Q/m' = Cp•T2 + W/m'

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1*300) - (80/10) = (1*T2) - (130/10)

Q and M negative because heat is being lost.

300 - 8 + 13 = T2

T2 = 305 K = 305 - 273 °C = 32 °C

13000 + 300 - 8000 = T2

Answer:

Following are the proving to this question:

Explanation:

\frac{D_1}{D} = \frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))^{\frac{1}{4}}}

using the energy equation for entry and exit value :

\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0  = \frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g}

where

\to p_0=p_1=0\\\\\to Z_0=Z_1=H\\\\\to v_0=0\\\\AV =A_1V_1 \\\\\to V=(\frac{D_1}{D})^2 V_1\\\\\to V^2=(\frac{D_1}{D})^4 V^{2}_{1}

         = (\frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D} ))^{\frac{1}{4}}})^4\  V^{2}_{1}\\\\

         = \frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D})  )} \  V^{2}_{1}\\

\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0  =\frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g} \\\\

\to 0+0+Z_0 = 0  +\frac{V^{2}_{1} }{2g} +Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D} \frac{\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))}\ V^{2}_{1}}{2g}   \\\\\to Z_0 -Z_1 = +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \ (1+f\frac{l}{D}\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}) )} )  \\\\\to H= \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} (\frac{3}{2}) \\\\\to  \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} = H(\frac{3}{2})
