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)

An alloy is evaluated for potential creep deformation in a short-term laboratory experiment. The creep rate (ϵ˙) is found to be
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Activation energy for creep in this temperature range is Q = 252.2 kJ/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the creep rate at a particular temperature

creep rate, \zeta_{\theta} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R \theta} )

Creep rate at 800⁰C, \zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (800+273)} )

\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 1 \% per hour =0.01\\

0.01 = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} ).........................(1)

Creep rate at 700⁰C

\zeta_{700} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (700+273)} )

\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{973R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 5.5 * 10^{-2}  \% per hour =5.5 * 10^{-4}

5.5 * 10^{-4}  = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} ).................(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2)

\frac{0.01}{5.5 * 10^{-4} } = \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} -\frac{-Q}{973R} ]\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} +\frac{Q}{973R} ]\\R = 8.314\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073*8.314} +\frac{Q}{973*8.314} ]\\18.182= \exp[0.0000115 Q]\\

Take the natural log of both sides

ln 18.182= 0.0000115Q\\2.9004 = 0.0000115Q\\Q = 2.9004/0.0000115\\Q = 252211.49 J/mol\\Q = 252.2 kJ/mol

Why doesn’t the servant kill the child oedipus as he was ordered to do
Anni [7]
The Servant does not kill the child Oedipus as he was ordered to do because "He pitied the child" based on the Oedipus Rex story. The servant was ordered to kill the child because of the prophecy that predicted King Laius' death. The king already had attempted to hurt Oedipus by piercing Oedipus's ankle. However, the servant did not finish the job and he rather saved the baby Oedipus.

Maximum iorsional shear siress.? Select one: a)- occurs at the center of a shaft. b)- occurs at the outer surface of a shaft c)-
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

b). Occurs at the outer surface of the shaft

Explanation:

We know from shear stress and torque relationship, we know that

\frac{T}{J}= \frac{\tau }{r}

where, T = torque

            J = polar moment of inertia of shaft

            τ = torsional shear stress

             r = raduis of the shaft

Therefore from the above relation we see that

            \tau = \frac{T.r}{J}

Thus torsional shear stress, τ is directly proportional to the radius,r of the shaft.

When r= 0, then τ = 0

and when r = R , τ is maximum

Thus, torsional shear stress is maximum at the outer surface of the shaft.

A 30 mm thick AISI 1020 steel plate is sandwiched between two 10 mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum plates and compressed with a bolt and
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

275 MPa

Explanation:

Regardless of what it is holding, the stiffness of a bolt depends on its own material properties and geometry.

The stiffness is:

k = E * \frac{A}{l}

I assume this one is made of steel, because regular bolts are steel.

The Young's modulus for steel is E = 210 GPa

The longitude is given. (But note that in a real application you have to consider the length up to the nut.)

The section is (using the nominal diameter of 10 mm)

A = \frac{\pi * d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi * 0.01^2}{4} = 7.85e-5 m^2

Then:

k  = 2.1e11 * \frac{7.85e-5}{0.06} = 275e6 Pa = 275 MPa
