A driver is traveling at 52 mi/h on a wet road. an object is spotted on the road 415 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to

a stop just before hitting the object. assuming standard perception/ reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

Answer:

G = 0.424

Explanation:

Ds = ( 0.278tr * V ) + (0.278 * V²)/ ( 19.6* ( f ± G))

Where Ds = stopping sight distance = 415miles = 126.5m

G = absolute grade road

V = velocity of vehicle = 52miles/hr

f = friction = 0 because the road is wet

tr = standard perception / reaction time = 2.5s

So therefore:

Substituting to get G

We have

2479.4G = 705.6G + 751.72

1773.8G = 751.72

G = 751.72/1773.8

G = 0.424

A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}

Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.

The maximum stress that a bar will withstand before failing is called • Rapture Strength • Yield Strength • Tensile Strength • B
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Rupture strength

Explanation: Rupture strength is the strength of a material that is bearable till the point before the breakage by the tensile strength applied on it. This term is mentioned when there is a sort of deformation in the material due to tension.So, rupture will occur before whenever there are chances of failing and the material is still able to bear stresses before failing.

Air with a mass flow rate of 2.3 kg/s enters a horizontal nozzle operating at steady state at 450 K, 350 kPa, and velocity of 3
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Given that

Mass flow rate ,m=2.3 kg/s

T₁=450 K

P₁=350 KPa

C₁=3 m/s

T₂=300 K

C₂=460 m/s

Cp=1.011 KJ/kg.k

For ideal gas

P V = m R T

P = ρ RT

\rho_1=\dfrac{P_1}{RT_1}

\rho_1=\dfrac{350}{0.287\times 450}

ρ₁=2.71 kg/m³

mass flow rate

m= ρ₁A₁C₁

2.3 = 2.71 x A₁ x 3

A₁=0.28 m²

Now from first law for open system

h_1+\dfrac{C_1^2}{200}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{C_2^2}{2000}

For ideal gas

Δh = CpΔT

by putting the values

1.011\times 450+\dfrac{3^2}{200}+Q=1.011\times 300+\dfrac{460^2}{2000}

Q=1.011\times 300+\dfrac{460^2}{2000}-\dfrac{3^2}{200}-1.011\times 450

Q= - 45.49 KJ/kg

Q =- m x 45.49 KW

Q= - 104.67 KW

Negative sign indicates that heat transfer from air to surrounding
