The outer surface of an engine is situated in a place where oil leakage can occur. When leaked oil comes in contact with ahot su

rface that has a temperature above its autoignition temperature. the oil can ignite spontaneously. Consider anengine cover that is made of a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 1 cm and a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m-K Theinner surface of the engine cover is exposed to hot air with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 7 W/m2-K at 333°C.The outer surface is exposed to an environment where the ambient air is 69‘C with a convection heat transfer coefficientof 7 W/mZ-K To prevent fire hazard in the event of oil leak on the engine cover, a layer of thermal barrier coating (T BC)with a thermal conductivity of 11 W/m-K is applied on the engine cover outer surface. Would a TBC layer of 4 mm inthickness be sufficient to keep the engine cover surface below autoignition temperature of 200T to prevent fire hazard?

Answer:

TBC thickness of 4 mm is insufficient to prevent fire hazard

Explanation:

Given:

- Temperature of hot-fluid inner surface T_i = 333°C

- The convection coefficient hot-fluid h_i = 7 W/m^2K

- The thermal conductivity of engine cover k_1 = 14 W/mK

- The thickness of engine cover L_1 = 0.01 m

- The thermal conductivity of TBC layer k_2 = 1.1 W/mK  ... (Typing error)

- The thickness of TBC layer L_2 = 0.004 m

- Temperature of ambient air outer surface T_o = 69°C

- The convection coefficient ambient air h_o = 7 W/m^2K

Find:

Would a TBC layer of 4 mm thickness be sufficient to keep the engine cover surface below autoignition temperature of 200°C to prevent fire hazard?

Solution:

- We will use thermal circuit analogy for the 1-D problem and steady state conduction with no heat generation in the cover or TBC layer.

 The temperature at each medium interface and the Thermal resistance for each medium is given in the attachment schematic and circuit analogy.

 - We will calculate the total heat flux for the entire system q:

                       q = ( T_i - T_o ) / R_total

- R_total is the equivalent thermal resistance of the entire circuit. Since all resistances are in series we have:

                       R_total = 1 / h_i + L_1 / k_1 + L_2 / k_2 + 1 / h_o

- Plug in the values and compute:

                       R_total = 1 / 7 + 0.01 / 14 + 0.004 / 1.1 + 1 / 7

                       R_total = 0.2900649351 T-m^2 / W

- Calculate the Total heat flux q:

                       q = ( 333 - 69 ) / 0.2900649351

                       q = 910.141 W / m^2

- Just like the total current in a circuit remains same, the total heat flux remains same. We will use the total heat flux q to calculate the temperature of outer engine surface T_2 as follows:

                      q = ( T_i - T_2 ) / R_i2

Where,

                      R_i2 = 1 / h_i + L_1 / k_1

                      R_i2 = 1 / 7 + 0.01 / 14 = 0.14357 T-m^2 / W

Hence,

                      ( T_i - T_2 ) = q*R_i2

                        T_2 = T_i - q*R_i2

Plug the values in:

                        T_2 = 333 - 910.141*0.14357

                        T_2 = 202.33°C

- The outer surface of the engine cover has a temperature above T_ignition = 200°C. Hence, the TBC thickness of 4 mm is insufficient to prevent fire hazard

A gear train has two gears. The driver gear has 8 teeth and a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch. the follower gear has 24 teeth. W
Sliva [168]

Answer:

18 teeth/inch

Explanation:

Given that: i. driver gear has 8 teeth and diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch.

                  ii. follower gear has 24 teeth.

Let the followers diametral pitch be represented by x.

Then,

8 teeth ⇒  6 teeth/inch

24 teeth ⇒ x teeth/inch

So that;

x = \frac{24 x 6}{8}

   = \frac{144}{8}

   = 18 teeth/inch

The diametral is 18 teeth/inch

Levart [38]

Answer:

230.51 m

Explanation:

Pb = 695 mmHg

Pt = 675 mmHg

Pb - Pt = 20 mmHg

Calculate dP:

dP = p * g * H = (13600)*(9.81)*(20/1000) = 2668.320 Pa

Calculate Height of building as dP is same for any medium of liquid

dP = p*g*H = 2668.320

H = 2668.32 / (1.18 * 9.81) = 230.51 m

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>
