Answer:

temperature -15.6 C, quality x=0.646, enthalpy h=667.20 KJ, volume of vapor phase Vg= 79.8 L

Explanation:

property table for R-134a

https://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo/property_tables/R134a/R134a_PresSat.html

at 160 KPa , temperature = -15.66 C

quality x=mass of vapour/ total mass of liq-vap mixture

alternaternately: x=(v-vf)/(vg-vf)    

v=total volume i.e. volume of container"80L"   80L=0.08 cubic meter

vf=vol of liquid phase  vg=vol of vapor phase vf, vg values at 160Kpa

x=(0.08-0.0007437)/(0.1235-0.0007437)=0.646

enthalpy

h=hf+xhfg          hf, hfg values at 160Kpa

h=hf+xhfg=31.2+0.646(209.9)=166.80 KJ/Kg

for 4Kg R-134a h=m(166.80 KJ/Kg )=667.20 KJ

volume of vapor phase

vg at 160Kpa=0.1235 cubic meter for quality=1.

in this case quality=0.646 , so it will occupy 64.6% space of the vapor phase at quality=1.

vol. of vapor phase=0.646*0.1235=0.0798 cubic meter=79.8 L

Using an appropriate failure theory, find the factor of safety in each case. State the name of the theory that you are using the theory is max stress theory.

<h3>Wat is the max stress theory?</h3>

The most shear strain concept states that the failure or yielding of a ductile fabric will arise whilst the most shear strain of the fabric equals or exceeds the shear strain fee at yield factor withinside the uniaxial tensile test.”

Stress states at various critical locations are f= 2.662.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Outside temperature =88.03°C

Explanation:

Conductivity of air-soil from standard table

   K=0.60 W/m-k

To find temperature we need to balance energy

Heat generation=Heat dissipation

Now find the value

We know that for sphere

q=\dfrac{2\pi DK}{1-\dfrac{D}{4H}}(T_1-T_2)

Given that q=500 W

so

500=\dfrac{2\pi 2\times .6}{1-\dfrac{2}{4\times 10}}(T_1-25)

By solving that equation we get

T_2=88.03°C

So outside temperature =88.03°C

Which sentence is correct about the exergy of an empty (pressure around zero Pascal) tank with a volume of V, located in an envi
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c.  the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the tank = V

The pressure in the tank = 0 Pascal

The pressure of the surrounding = P₀

The temperature of the surrounding = T₀

Exergy is a measure of the amount of a given energy which a system posses that is extractable to provide useful work. It is possible work that brings about equilibrium. It is the potential the system has to bring about change

The exergy balance equation  is given as follows;

X_2 - X_1 = \int\limits^2_1 {} \, \delta Q \left (1 - \dfrac{T_0}{T} \right ) - [W - P_0 \cdot (V_2 - V_1)]- X_{destroyed}

Where;

X₂ - X₁ is the difference between the two exergies

Therefore, the exergy of the system with regards to the environment is the work received from the environment which at is equal to done on the system by the surrounding which by equilibrium for an empty tank with 0 pressure is equal to the product of the pressure of the surrounding and the volume of the empty tank or P₀ × V less the work, exergy destroyed, while taking into consideration the change in heat of the system

Therefore, the exergy of the tank can be anything between zero to P₀·V.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer is "2 m/s".

Explanation:

The triangle from of the right angle:

\to (x_c-0.8)+(1.5+y_4) +\sqrt{x_c^2 + 1.5^2}= constant

Differentiating the above equation:

\to V_c +V_A+ \frac{X_cV_c}{\sqrt{x_c^2 +1}}=0\\\\\to 1-V_A+ \frac{0.8 \times 1.5}{\sqrt{ 0.8^2+1.5}}=0\\\\

\to V_A=  \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{ 0.64+1.5}}+1\\\\

        = \frac{1.2}{ 1.46}+1\\\\= \frac{1.2+ 1.46}{ 1.46}\\\\ = \frac{2.66}{1.46}\\\\= 1.82 \ \frac{m}{s}\\\\= 2 \ \frac{m}{s}
