What are the characteristics of carbon fibre?

For an Otto cycle, plot the cycle efficiency as a function of compression ratio from 4 to 16.

Elza [17]

Assumptions:

Steady state.
Air as working fluid.
Ideal gas.
Reversible process.
Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.

Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

$r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

$r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

$\eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )$

where:

$\gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio$

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

$\gamma = 1.4$

What type of car engine is best for cold weather.

Komok [63]

Answer:Antifreeze/coolant

Explanation: keeps your engine cool in warm weather and keeps it from freezing up in the winter. A 50-50 mix of full strength coolant and water generally protects to around -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you check with the supplier or your owner's manual for the correct formulation

Calculate the viscosity(dynamic) and kinematic viscosity of airwhen

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) dynamic viscosity = $1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-sec$

(b) kinematic viscosity = $1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$

Explanation:

We have given temperature T = 288.15 K

Density $d=1.23kg/m^3$

According to Sutherland's Formula dynamic viscosity is given by

${\mu} = {\mu}_0 \frac {T_0+C} {T + C} \left (\frac {T} {T_0} \right )^{3/2}$ , here

μ = dynamic viscosity in (Pa·s) at input temperature T,

$\mu _0$ = reference viscosity in(Pa·s) at reference temperature T0,

T = input temperature in kelvin,

$T_0$ = reference temperature in kelvin,

C = Sutherland's constant for the gaseous material in question here C =120

$\mu _0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}$

$T_0$ = 291.15

$\mu =4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{291.15+120}{285.15+120}\times \left ( \frac{288.15}{291.15} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}=1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-s$ when T = 288.15 K

For kinematic viscosity :

$\nu = \frac {\mu} {\rho}$

$kinemic\ viscosity=\frac{1.812\times 10^{-5}}{1.23}=1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$

An engineer lives in Hawaii at a location where the annual rain fall is 300 inches. She decides to use the rain to generate elec

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

80.7lbft/hr

Explanation:

Flow rate of water in the system = 3.6x10^-6

The height h = 100

1s = 1/3600h

This implies that

Q = 3.6x10^-6/[1/3600]

Q = 0.0000036/0.000278

Q = 0.01295

Then the power is given as

P = rQh

The specific weight of water = 62.3 lb/ft³

P = 62.3 x 0.01295 x 100

P = 80.675lbft/h

When approximated

P = 80.7 lbft/h

This is the average power that could be generated in a year.

This answers the question and also corresponds with the answer in the question.

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.
