A city engineer knows that she will need $25 million in 3 years to replace toll booths on a toll road in the city. Traffic on th

e road is estimated to be 20 million vehicles per year. How much per vehicle should the toll be to cover the cost of the toll booth replacement project? Interest is 10%.

Answer:

$1.38

Explanation:

She will spend $25 million in 3 years at 10% interest is a case of Future Value of Annuity.

Therefore,

FV = A*((1+r)^n-1)/r

Where A = 25,000,000

r=10%=0.1

n=3

FV= 25000000*((1+0.1)^3-1)/0.1

FV=25000000*(1.331-1)/0.1

FV=25000000*(0.331/0.1)

FV=25000000*3.31

FV=$82,750,000

So it is estimated that 20million cars passes through the toll per year

Therefore,

Toll per vehicle per year = 82750000/2000000

=$4.14

Toll for the duration of the project

=4.14/3 =$1.38

Refrigerant 134a enters an air conditioner compressor at 4 bar, 20 C, and is compressed at steady state to 12 bar, 80 C. The vol

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

$Q=15.7Kw$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure $P_1=4bar$

Initial Temperature $T_1=20 C$

Final Pressure $P_2=12 bar$

Final Temperature $T_2=80C$

Work Output $W= 60 kJ/kg$

Generally Specific Energy from table is

At initial state

$P_1=4bar \& T_1=20 C$

$E_1=262.96KJ/Kg$

With

Specific Volume $V'=0.05397m^3/kg$

At Final state

$P_2=12 bar \& P_2=80C$

$E_1=310.24KJ/Kg$

Generally the equation for The Process is mathematically given by

$m_1E_1+w=m_2E_2+Q$

Assuming Mass to be Equal

$m_1=m_1$

Where

$m=\frac{V}{V'}$

$m=frac{0.06666}{V'=0.05397m^3/kg}$

$m=1.24$

Therefore

$1.24*262.96+60)=1.24*310.24+Q$

$Q=15.7Kw$

A rigid tank contains 2 kg of N2 and 4 kg of Co2 at temperature of 25 C and 1 MPa. Find the partial pressure of each gas respect

lions [1.4K]

Answer: Partial pressures are 0.6 MPa for nitrogen gas and 0.4 MPa for carbon dioxide.

Explanation: <u>Dalton's</u> <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Partial</u> <u>Pressure</u> states when there is a mixture of gases the total pressure is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas:

$P_{total} = P_{1}+P_{2}+...$

The proportion of each individual gas in the total pressure is expressed in terms of <u>mole</u> <u>fraction</u>:

$X_{i}$ = moles of a gas / total number moles of gas

The rigid tank has total pressure of 1MPa.

Nitrogen gas:

molar mass = 14g/mol

mass in the tank = 2000g

number of moles in the tank: $n=\frac{2000}{14}$ = 142.85mols

Carbon Dioxide:

molar mass = 44g/mol

mass in the tank = 4000g

number of moles in the tank: $n=\frac{4000}{44}$ = 90.91mols

Total number of moles: 142.85 + 90.91 = 233.76 mols

To calculate partial pressure:

$P_{i}=P_{total}.X_{i}$

For Nitrogen gas:

$P_{N_{2}}=1.\frac{142.85}{233.76}$

$P_{N_{2}}$ = 0.6

For Carbon Dioxide:

$P_{total}=P_{N_{2}}+P_{CO_{2}}$

$P_{CO_{2}} = P_{total}-P_{N_{2}}$

$P_{CO_{2}}=1-0.6$

$P_{CO_{2}}=$ 0.4

Partial pressures for N₂ and CO₂ in a rigid tank are 0.6MPa and 0.4MPa, respectively.
