A fuel cell vehicle draws 50 kW of power at 70 mph and is 40% efficient at rated power. You are asked to size the fuel cell syst

em so that a driver can go at least 400 miles at 70 mph before refueling. Specify the minimum volume and weight requirements for the fuel cell system (fuel cell fuel tank): Fuel cell power density is 1.5 kW/L and 1 kW/kg (note: the values taken into account efficiency already). Fuel tank energy density (compressed hydrogen with the tank mass taken into account): 4 MJ/L and 8 MJ/kg.

Answer:

  a) fuel cell weight and volume: 50 kg, 33.3 L

  b) fuel tank weight and volume: 321 kg, 643 L

Explanation:

<u>Fuel Cell</u>

Delivery of 50 kW from a source with a power density of 1.5 kW/L requires a source that has a volume of ...

  (50 kW)/(1.5 kW/L) = 33.3 L

The weight of the power source is 1 kW/kg, so will be ...

  (50 kW)/(1 kW/kg) = 50 kg

__

<u>Fuel Tank</u>

400 miles at 70 mph will take (400/70) h ≈ 5.71429 h. In that time, the energy used by the vehicle power plant is ...

  (50 kW)(5.71429 h)(3600 s/h) = 1028.57 MJ

Since the power plant is 40% efficient, it must be supplied with 2.5 times that amount of energy, or 2571.43 MJ.

The tank volume and mass will then be ...

  volume = 2571.43 MJ/(4 MJ/L) = 642.9 L

  mass = 2571.43 MJ/(8 MJ/L) = 321.4 kg

_____

<em>Comment on fuel tank volume</em>

It appears the fuel tank would need to be equivalent in size to a sphere about 1.1 m in diameter.

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

K = σT/ (εT)ⁿ

given that metal alloy true stress σT = 345 Mpa, plastic true strain εT = 0.02,

strain-hardening exponent n = 0.22

we substitute

K = 345 / 0.02^{0.22

K = 815.8165 Mpa

next, we determine the true strain

(εT) = (σT/ K)^1/n

given that σT = 412 MPa

we substitute

(εT) = (412 / 815.8165 )^(1/0.22)

(εT) = 0.04481 mm

Now, we calculate the instantaneous length

l_i = l_0e^{ET

given that l_0 = 480 mm

we substitute

l_i =480mm × e^{0.04481

l_i =  501.998 mm

Now we find the elongation;

Elongation = l_i - l_0

we substitute

Elongation = 501.998 mm - 480 mm

Elongation = 21.998 mm

Therefore, the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

State five applications of thermochromic materials
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.
