Answer:

Yes, Otto cycle is more efficient than a Diesel cycle with the same compression ratio.

Explanation:

An ideal Otto cycle models the behavior of an explosion engine. This cycle consists of six steps, as indicated in the figure. Prove that the performance of this cycle is given by the expression:

otto performance= 1 - ( 1/(r^(б-1) ) )

r = compression ratio equal to the ratio between the volume at the beginning of the compression cycle and at the end of it.

б=1.4 exponent

A diesel engine can be modeled with the ideal cycle consisting of six reversible steps, as indicated in the figure. Prove that the performance of this cycle is given by the expression:

diesel performance= 1 - ( 1/(r^(б-1) ) ) × ( (r^б)-1 )/(б×(r-1)) )

The ideal Diesel cycle is distinguished from the ideal Otto in the combustion phase, which in the Otto cycle is assumed at constant volume and in the Diesel at constant pressure. Therefore the performance is different.

We see that the efficiency of a Diesel cycle differs from that of an Otto cycle by the factor in parentheses. This factor is always greater than the unit, therefore, for the same compression reasons r diesel performance is less than ottoperformance.

Natali [406]

Answer:

Sarah is asking each department head how long they can be without their primary system. Sarah is trying to determine the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) as this is the duration of time within which the primary system must be restored after the disruption.

Recovery Point Objective is basically to determine the age of restoration or recovery point.

Business recovery and technical recovery requirements are to assess the requirements to recover by Business or technically.

Hence, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the correct answer.

Answer:

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.

Explanation:

The Reynolds number ( $Re_{D}$ ) is a dimensionless criterion use for flow regime of fluids, which is defined as:

$Re_{D} = \frac{\rho \cdot v\cdot D}{\mu}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho$ - Density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\mu$ - Dynamic viscosity, measured in kilograms per meter-second.

$v$ - Average flow velocity, measured in meters per second.

$D$ - Pipe diameter, measured in meters.

We need to find the equivalent velocity of water used in the prototype system. In this case, we assume that $Re_{D,gas} = Re_{D,w}$ . That is:

$\frac{\rho_{w}\cdot v_{w}\cdot D_{w}}{\mu_{w}} = \frac{\rho_{gas}\cdot v_{gas}\cdot D_{gas}}{\mu_{gas}}$ (Eq. 2)

Where subindex $w$ is used for water and $gas$ for gasoline.

If we know that $\rho_{gas} = 690\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}}$ , $\mu_{gas} = 0.006\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}$ , $v_{gas} = 0.5\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $D_{gas} = 1\,m$ , $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\mu_{w} = 0.0018\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}$ and $D_{w} = 0.05\,m$ , then we get the following formula:

$57500 = 27777.778\cdot v_{w}$

The fluid velocity for the prototype system is:

$v_{w} = 2.07\,\frac{m}{y}$

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.
