B1) 20 pts. The thickness of each of the two sheets to be resistance spot welded is 3.5 mm. It is desired to form a weld nugget

that is 5.5 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm thick after 0.3 sec welding time. The unit melting energy for a certain sheet metal is 9.5 J/mm3 . The electrical resistance between the surfaces is 140 micro ohms, and only one third of the electrical energy generated will be used to form the weld nugget (the rest being dissipated), determine the minimum current level required.

Answer:

I = 8975.95 A

Explanation:

Given :

Diameter of the nugget, D = 5.5 mm

Length of the nugget, l = 5.0 mm

Therefore, volume of the nugget,

$V = \frac{\pi}{4}D^2l$

= $$\frac{\pi}{4}(5.5)^25 = 118.73\ mm^3$

Now, required melting energy, (M.E.) = 9.5 x V

= 9.5 x 118.73

= 1127.95 J

Given efficiency of the heat used from electric energy, η = 1/3

Then actual required energy = ME/η

= 1127.95 / (1/3) = 3383.84 J

We know that, electric energy (EE) = $I^2Rt$

where, I is current, R is resistance and t is time in seconds.

3383.75 = $I^2 \times 140 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.3$

I = 8975.95 A

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur

Answer:

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

$Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}$

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 101.42\,kPa$

$T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.123$

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 476.16\,kPa$

$T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.525$

The mass stored in the vessel is:

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

$m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m = 0.048\,kg$

The heat transfer require to the process is:

$Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})$

$Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Steam enters a turbine at 120 bar, 508oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 50 kPa and 0.912, respectively. Determine th

Archy [21]

Answer:

The turbine produces <u>955.53 KW</u> power.

Explanation:

Taking the turbine as a system. Applying Law of Conservation of Energy:

m(h₁ - h₂) - Heat Loss = P

where,

m = mass flow rate of steam = 1.31 kg/s

h₁ = enthalpy at state 1 (120 bar and 508°C)

h₂ = enthalpy at state 2 (50 KPa and x = 0.912)

Heat Loss = 225 KW

P = Power generated by turbine = ?

First, we find h₁ from super steam tables:

At,

T = 508°C

P = 120 bar = 12000 KPa = 12 MPa

we find that steam is in super-heated state with enthalpy:

Due to unavailibility of values in chart we approximate the state to 500° C and 12.5 MPa:

h₁ = 3343.6 KJ/kg

Now, for state 2, we have:

P = 50 KPa and x = 0.912

From saturated steam table:

h₂ = hf₂ + x(hfg₂) = 340.54 KJ/kg + (0.912)(2304.7 KJ/kg)

h₂ = 2442.4 KJ/kg

Now, using values in the conservation equation:

(1.31 kg/s)(3343.6 KJ/kg - 2442.4 KJ/kg) - 225 KW = P

<u>P = 955.53 KW</u>

In order to fill a tank of 1000 liter volume to a pressure of 10 atm at 298K, an 11.5Kg of the gas is required. How many moles o

lesya [120]

Answer:

The molecular weight will be "28.12 g/mol".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Pressure,

P = 10 atm

= $10\times 101325 \ Pa$

= $1013250 \ Pa$

Temperature,

T = 298 K

Mass,

m = 11.5 Kg

Volume,

V = 1000 r

= $1 \ m^3$

R = 8.3145 J/mol K

Now,

By using the ideal gas law, we get

⇒ $PV=nRT$

o,

⇒ $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

By substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{1013250\times 1}{8.3145\times 298}$

$=408.94 \ moles$

As we know,

⇒ $Moles(n)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Molecular \ weight(MW)}$

or,

⇒ $MW=\frac{m}{n}$

$=\frac{11.5}{408.94}$

$=0.02812 \ Kg/mol$

$=28.12 \ g/mol$
