Oxana [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The engine's thermal efficiency is 0.32

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency = work done ÷ quantity of heat supplied

Work done = 210 J

Quantity of heat supplied = work done + waste heat = 210 + 440 = 650 J

Thermal efficiency = 210 ÷ 650 = 0.32

Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring for over four billion years
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Inside the Sun.

Explanation:

Inside the Sun, this process begins with protons (which is simply a lone hydrogen nucleus) and through a series of steps, these protons fuse together and are turned into helium. This fusion process occurs inside the core of the Sun, and the transformation results in a release of energy that keeps the sun hot.

A closed, rigid tank is filled with a gas modeled as an ideal gas, initially at 27°C and a gage pressure of 300 kPa. If the gas
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Explanation:

given data

initial temperature T1 = 27°C = 300 K

gauge pressure = 300 kPa = 300 × 10³ Pa

atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

final temperature T2 = 77°C = 350 K

to find out

final pressure

solution

we know that gauge pressure is = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure so

P (gauge ) = 300 × 10³ Pa - 1 × 10^{5} Pa

P (gauge ) = 2 × 10^{5} Pa

so from idea gas equation

\frac{P1*V1}{T1} = \frac{P2*V2}{T2}   ................1

so {P2} = \frac{P1*T2}{T1}

{P2} = \frac{2*10^5*350}{300}

P2 = 2.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 2.33 × 10^{5}  - 1.0 × 10^{5}

gauge pressure = 1.33 × 10^{5} Pa

so gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Methane gas is 304 C with 4.5 tons of mass flow per hour to an uninsulated horizontal pipe with a diameter of 25 cm. It enters a
Arada [10]

Answer:

a) h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2-K

b) H_{loss} = 5.02 W

c) T_s = 302 K

d) \dot{Q} = 25.125 W

Explanation:

Non horizontal pipe diameter, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Radius, r = 0.25/2 = 0.125 m

Entry temperature, T₁ = 304 + 273 = 577 K

Exit temperature, T₂ = 284 + 273 = 557 K

Ambient temperature, T_a = 25^0 C = 298 K

Pipe length, L = 10 m

Area, A = 2πrL

A = 2π * 0.125 * 10

A = 7.855 m²

Mass flow rate,

\dot{ m} = 4.5 tons/hr\\\dot{m} = \frac{4.5*1000}{3600}  = 1.25 kg/sec

Rate of heat transfer,

\dot{Q} = \dot{m} c_p ( T_1 - T_2)\\\dot{Q} = 1.25 * 1.005 * (577 - 557)\\\dot{Q} = 25.125 W

a) To calculate the convection coefficient relationship for heat transfer by convection:

\dot{Q} = h_c A (T_1 - T_2)\\25.125 = h_c * 7.855 * (577 - 557)\\h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2 - K

Note that we cannot calculate the heat loss by the pipe to the environment without first calculating the surface temperature of the pipe.

c) The surface temperature of the pipe:

Smear coefficient of the pipe, k_c = 0.8

\dot{Q} = k_c A (T_s - T_a)\\25.125 = 0.8 * 7.855 * (T_s - 298)\\T_s = 302 K

b) Heat loss from the pipe to the environment:

H_{loss} = h_c A(T_s - T_a)\\H_{loss} = 0.1599 * 7.855( 302 - 298)\\H_{loss} = 5.02 W

d) The required fan control power is 25.125 W as calculated earlier above
