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.

Please help will give brainliest please answer all 3

larisa [96]

Answer: For #1 I'm going to go with A because that has to do with biology

For #2 I'm going to go with B oceans because that has to do with plant life (and life in general).

For #3 I'll say marine/maritime engineer (you can just say marine)

Hope it helps!

The beam is supported by a pin at A and a roller at B which has negligible weight and a radius of 15 mm. If the coefficient of s

Anettt [7]

Answer:

33.4

Explanation:

Step 1:

\sumMo=0 (moment about the origin)

Fb(15)-Fc(15)=0

Fb=Fc

Step 2:

\sumFx=0

-Fb-Fccos\theta+Ncsin\theta=0

Fc=0.3Nc=Fb

-0.3Nc-0.3Nccos\theta+Ncsin\theta=0

(-0.3-cos\theta+sin\theta)Nc=0----(1)

\sumFy=0

Nccos\theta+Fcsin\theta-Nb=0

Nccos\theta+0.3Ncsin\theta-Nc=0

Nc[cos\theta+0.3sin\theta-1]=0--------(2)

Solving eq (1) and eq (2)

\theta=33.4

Step 3:

As the roller is a two force member

2(90-\phi)+\theta=180

\phi=\theta/2

\phi=Tan(\muN/N)-1

\phi=16.7

\theta=2x16.7=33.4

A closed vessel of volume 80 litres contain gas at a gauge pressure of 150 kPa. If the gas is compressed isothermally to half it

horsena [70]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 300 kilopascals.

Explanation:

Let consider that gas within the closed vessel behaves ideally. By the equation of state for ideal gases, we construct the following relationship for the isothermal relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2} \cdot V_{2}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Initial and final pressure, measured in kilopascals.

$V_{1}$ , $V_{2}$ - Initial and final volume, measured in litres.

If we know that $\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = 2$ and $P_{1} = 150\,kPa$ , then the resulting pressure is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\times \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}$

$P_{2} = 300\,kPa$

The resulting pressure is 300 kilopascals.

Which term describes the action of a qubit that moves from superposition to 1 or 0 after measurement?

Mariana [72]

The term that describes the action of a qubit that moves from superposition to 1 or 0 after measurement is Collapse.

<h3>What is collapse?</h3>

Collapse is the process that lead to the movement of qubit from a a state of superposition to 1 or 0 after measurements which make it to remain in that state.

Therefore, The term that describes the action of a qubit that moves from superposition to 1 or 0 after measurement is Collapse.
