Answer:

The log mean temperature difference is:

ΔT,lm=(ΔT1-ΔT2)/㏑(ΔT1/ΔT2)

Explanation:

To evaluate the equivalent average temperature difference between two fluids we consider a parallel-flow double-pipe heat exchanger (see attached diagram). The temperature of the hot and cold fluids is large at the inlet of the heat exchanger and decreases exponentially toward the outlet.  

We can assume that the outer surface of the heat exchanger is well insulated and that heat transfer only occurs between the two fluids. We can also assume negligible kinetic and potential. The energy balance on each fluid can be written as the rate of heat loss from the hot fluid is equal to the rate of heat gained by the cold fluid in any section of the heat exchanger:

Q = -m,h×c,ph×dT,h   (1)

where Q=rate of heat loss, m=mass flow rate, c,ph=heat capacity of the hot fluid, dT,h= differential temperature of the hot fluid

Q = m,c×c,pc×T.c  (2)

where Q=rate of heat loss, m=mass flow rate, c,ph=heat capacity of the cold fluid, dT,h= differential temperature of the cold fluid

The temperature of the hot fluid change is negative and is added to make Q positive. Solving equations 1 and 2 in terms of dT:

dT.h = - Q/(m,h×c,ph)

dT.c =  Q/(m,c×c,pc)

and taking the difference:

dT,h-dT,c= d(T,h - T,c) = -Q(1/(m,h×c,ph) + 1/(m,c×c,pc)) (3)

The heat transfer rate in the differential section of the heat exchanger can be expressed as:

Q = U(T,h-T,c)×dA,s  (4)

where U=overall heat transfer coefficients, dA,s = differential sectional area. Substitute equation 4 into 3:

d(T,h - T,c)/(T,h - T,c) = -U×dA,s×(1/(m,h×c,ph) + 1/(m,c×c,pc))  (5)

Integrating equation 5:

㏑((T,h out - T,c out)/(T,h in - T,c in)) = -U×A,s×(1/(m,h×c,ph) + 1/(m,c×c,pc))  (6)

The first law of thermodynamics requires the rate of heat transfer from hot and cold fluid to be equal.

Q= m×c, pc×(T, c out-T, c in)  (7)

Q= m×c, ph×(T,h out-T, h in)   (8)

Solve equations 7 and 8 for m,c×c, pc and m,h×c, ph and substituting into equation 6:

Q = U×A,s×ΔT,lm

Where the log mean temperature difference is:

ΔT,lm=(ΔT1-ΔT2)/㏑(ΔT1/ΔT2)

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The electrical power is 96.5 W/m^2

Explanation:

The energy balance is:

Ein-Eout=0

qe+\alpha sGs+\alpha skyGsky-EEb(Ts)-qc=0

if:

Gsky=oTsky^4

Eb=oTs^4

qc=h(Ts-Tα)

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha l Gl} \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {Gl} \, dl }

\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha lEl(l,5800 } \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {El(l,5800)} \, dl }

if Gl≈El(l,5800)

\alpha s=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt= 2*5800=11600 um-K, at this value, F=0.941

\alpha s=(0.8*0.941)+0.3(1-0.941)=0.77

The hemispherical emissivity is equal to:

E=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))

lt=2*333=666 K, at this value, F=0

E=0+(1-0.7)(1)=0.3

The hemispherical absorptivity is equal to:

qe=EoTs^{4}+h(Ts-T\alpha  )-\alpha sGs-\alpha oTsky^{4}=(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*333^{4})+10(60-20)-(0.77-600)-(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*233^{4})=96.5 W/m^{2}

What is the composition of the two phases that form when a stream of 40% A, 39% B, and 21% C separates into two phases? Label th
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

vapor fraction = 0.4 and 0.08

Explanation:

At reasonably high temperatures, a mixture will exist in the form of a sub cooled liquid. Between these extremes, the mixture exists in a two phrase region where it is a vapor liquid equilibrium. From a vapor-liquid phase diagram, a mixture of 40% A, 39% B, and 21% C separates to give the vapor compositions of 0.4 and 0.08.

5. Which of the following is false about onStep?
katovenus [111]

The false statement about onStep is: B. The default number of steps per second is 30.

<h3>What is an onStep?</h3>

An onStep can be defined as a computerized telescope goto controller that is designed and developed to <u>animate shapes</u> while using it on a variety of mounting systems such as forks.

<h3>The characteristics of an onStep.</h3>

In Engineering, some of the characteristics that are associated with an onStep include the following:

  • The onStep function can be called without user input.
  • It can be used to animate shapes without user input.
  • It only runs a certain number of times.

In conclusion, the default number of steps per second for onStep isn't 30.

diamong [38]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.

Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.

Answer:

the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours

Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%

thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m

Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion

x^2 / Dt = constant

where D is constant

then

x^2 / t = constant

x^2_1 / t₁ = x^2_2 / t₂

x^2_1 t₂ = t₁x^2_2

t₂ = t₁x^2_2 / x^2_1

t₂ = (x^2_2 / x^2_1)t₁

t₂ = ( x_2 / x_1 )^2 × t₁

so we substitute

t₂ = ( 0.0049  / 0.0018  )^2 × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 83.733 hrs

Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
