A special-purpose 30-horsepower electric motor has an efficiency of 9090%. Its purchase and installation price is $2 comma 20

02,200. A second 30-horsepower high-efficiency motor can be purchased for $3 comma 2003,200, and its efficiency is 9393%. Either motor will be operated 4 comma 0004,000 hours per year at full load, and electricity costs $0.100.10 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). MARRequals=1515% per year, and neither motor will have a market value at the end of the eight-year study period. Most motors are operated at a fraction of their rated capacity (i.e., full load) in industrial applications. Suppose the average usage (load factor) of motors is expected to be 6060%. Which motor should be recommended under this condition?

Answer:

Motor 1 recommended

Given Information:

Two 30-horsepower motors

Consumption = 4,000 hours per year

Electricity cost = $0.10 per kWh

Load factor of motors = 60%

MARR = 15%

Study period = 8 years

Motor 1:

Efficiency = 90%

Purchase + Installation cost = $2,200

Motor 2:

Efficiency = 93%

Purchase + Installation cost = $3,200

Required information:

Which motor should be recommended under these conditions = ?

Solution:

Electricity cost = Rate of electricity*Units consumed*Load factor

Electricity cost: Motor 1

Units consumed = (30 hp/0.90)*(0.746 kW/hp)*(4000 h/year)

Units consumed = 99,466.66 kWh/year

Electricity cost = (99,466.66 kWh/year)*(0.10/kWh)*(0.60)

Electricity cost = $5,968 per year

Electricity cost: Motor 2

Units consumed = (30 hp/0.93)*(0.746 kW/hp)*(4000 h/year)

Units consumed = 96,258 kWh/year

Electricity cost = (96,258 kWh/year)*(0.10/kWh)*(0.60)

Electricity cost = $5,775 per year

Present Worth Analysis: Motor 1

PW = -$2,200 - $5,968( P/A, 15%, 8)

where (P/A,15%,8) = Uniform series present worth at 15% MARR and n = 8 years

P/A = (1 + i)ⁿ - 1/ i*(1 + i)ⁿ

P/A = (1 +0.15)ⁿ - 1/ 0.15(1 + 0.15)ⁿ

P/A = 4.487

PW = -$2,200 - $5,968(4.487)

PW = -$28,978

Present Worth Analysis: Motor 2

PW = -$3,200 - $5,775( P/A, 15%, 8)

P/A = 4.487

PW = -$3,200 - $5,775(4.487)

PW = -$29,112

Recommendation:

In present worth analysis, we select the alternative which has largest PW value i.e more positive or least negative.

Since the PW of motor 1 (90% efficiency) is greater (less negative) than the motor 2 (93% efficiency).

Therefore, Motor 1 recommended

A piston-cylinder apparatus has a piston of mass 2kg and diameterof

iragen [17]

Answer:

M =2.33 kg

Explanation:

given data:

mass of piston - 2kg

diameter of piston is 10 cm

height of water 30 cm

atmospheric pressure 101 kPa

water temperature = 50°C

Density of water at 50 degree celcius is 988kg/m^3

volume of cylinder is $V = A \times h$

$= \pi r^2 \times h$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3$

mass of available in the given container is

$M = V\times d$

$= volume \times density$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3 \times 988$

M =2.33 kg

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.
