A car engine with a thermal efficiency of 33% drives the air-conditioner unit (a refrigerator) besides powering the car and othe

r auxiliary equipment. On a hot (35oC) summer day the A/C takes outside air in and cools it to 5oC sending it into a duct using 2 kW of power input and it is assumed to be half as good as a Carnot refrigeration unit. Find the rate of fuel (kW) being burned extra just to drive the A/C unit and its COP. Find the flow rate of cold air the A/C unit can provide.

Answer:

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner $Q_h = 6.061 kW$

The flow rate of the cold air is $\r m = 0.30765 kg/s$

Explanation:

From this question we are told that

The efficiency is $\eta = 33$ % = 0.33

Temperature for the hot day is $T_h = 35^oC = 308 K \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (35+273)$

Temperature after cooling is $T_c = 5^oC = 278K$

The input power is $P_{in} = 2kW$

The rate of fuel required to drive the air conditioner can be mathematically represented as

$Q_h = \frac{P_{in}}{\eta}$

$= \frac{2}{0.33} = 6.061 kW$

From the question the air condition is assumed to be half as a Carnot refrigeration unit

This can be Mathematically interpreted in terms of COP(coefficient of performance) as

$\beta_{air} = 0.5 \beta$

where $\beta$ denotes COP and is mathematically represented as

$\beta = \frac{Q_c}{P_{in}}$

= > $Q_c = \beta P_{in}$

Where $Q_c$ is the rate of flue being burned for cold air to flow

Now if the COP of a Carnot refrigerator is having this value

$\beta_{Carnot } = \frac{T_c}{T_h - T_c}$

$= \frac{278}{308-278}$

$\beta_{Carnot} = 9.267\\$

Then

$\beta_{air} = 0.5 * 9.2667$

$= 4.6333$

Now substituting the value of $\beta$ to solve for $Q_c$

$Q_c = \beta P_{in}$

$= 4.6333 *2$

$9.2667kW$

The equation for the rate of fuel being burned for the cold air to flow

$Q_c = \r mc_p \Delta T$

Making the flow rate of the cold air

$\r m = \frac{Q_c}{c_p \Delta T}$

$= \frac{9.2667}{1.004}* (308 - 278)$

$= 0.30765 kg/s$

Answer:

At the point when the quantity of bit strings is not exactly the quantity of processors, at that point a portion of the processors would stay inert since the scheduler maps just part strings to processors and not client level strings to processors. At the point when the quantity of part strings is actually equivalent to the quantity of processors, at that point it is conceivable that the entirety of the processors may be used all the while. Be that as it may, when a part string obstructs inside the portion (because of a page flaw or while summoning framework calls), the comparing processor would stay inert. When there are more portion strings than processors, a blocked piece string could be swapped out for another bit string that is prepared to execute, in this way expanding the use of the multiprocessor system.When the quantity of part strings is not exactly the quantity of processors, at that point a portion of the processors would stay inert since the scheduler maps just bit strings to processors and not client level strings to processors.

A three-point bending test is performed on a glass specimen having a rectangular cross section of height d 5 mm (0.2 in.) and wi

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

Height = depth = 5 mm

Width = 10 mm

Length L = 45 mm

Load = 290 N

The flexural strength of a specimen is given by

$\sigma = \frac{3 F L}{2 bd^{2} }$

$\sigma = \frac{3(290)(45)}{2 (10)(5)^{2} }$

$\sigma =$ 78.3 M pa

Therefore the flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

Answer:

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

Explanation:

Hello!

The first thing we must consider to solve this problem is the continuity equation that states that the amount of mass flow that enters a system is the same as what should come out.

m1=m2

Now remember that mass flow is given by the product of density, cross-sectional area and velocity

(α1)(V1)(A1)=(α2)(V2)(A2)

where

α=density

V=velocity

A=area

Now we can assume that the input and output areas are equal

(α1)(V1)=(α2)(V2)

$\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2}$

Now we can use the equation that defines the percentage of increase, in this case for speed

$i=(\frac{V2}{V1} -1) 100$

Now we use the equation obtained in the previous step, and replace values

$i=(\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2} -1) 100\\i=(\frac{1.2}{0.955} -1) 100=25.65$

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%
