Engineering
1 answer:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Atlantis benefited from lessons learned in the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. ... The Experience gained during the Orbiter assembly process also enabled Atlantis to be completed with a 49.5 percent reduction in man hours (compared to Columbia).

An incandescent light bulb can be regarded as a resistor. If its power output is 100W, calculate the resistance of the light bul
stira [4]

Answer:121\ \Omega

0.909\ A

Explanation:

Given

Power P=100\ W

Voltage applied V=110\ V

Resistance of the bulb is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

100=\frac{110^2}{R}

R=\frac{12100}{100}

R=121\ \Omega

Current drawn by the Power source is given by

P=V\cdot I

I=\frac{P}{V}

I=\frac{100}{110}

I=0.909\ A

The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re
Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 %  , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 %     , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 %  , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

  TL = 400 K

  TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

(c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

                                 W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

                                 n_th < n_max     ...... irreversible

                                 n_th = n_max     ...... reversible

                                 n_th > n_max     ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

                                n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And,                         n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 33.333 %                n_max = 66.67 %

                                       n_th < n_max  

      Hence,                Irreversible Process  

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

                 n_th = 100 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th > n_max  

      Hence,               Impossible Process              

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

   - The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

                                W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

   - The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

                                n_th = W_cycle / QH

                                n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

   - The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

               n_th = 66.67 %                 n_max = 66.67 %

                                     n_th = n_max  

      Hence,                Reversible Process

What is land administration and cadastral survey
vaieri [72.5K]

Cadastral surveying is the sub-field of cadastre and surveying that specialises in the establishment and re-establishment of real property boundaries. ... A cadastral surveyor must apply both the spatial-measurement principles of general surveying and legal principles such as respect of neighboring titles.
