Answer:

  t = 0.113 s

Explanation:

In this exercise we can use Newton's second law

X Axis            F - fr = ma

Y Axis           N –W = 0

                    N = W = m g

The force of friction is

                  fr = μ N

We replace

                 F - μ m g = m a

                  a = (F- μ mg) / m

                 a = (2650 - 0.45 300 9.8) / 300

                 a = 4,423 m / s2

Now we can use the kinematics expressions, where we assume that the system starts with zero speed

                v = v₀ + a t

                t = v / a

                t = 0.5 / 4.423

                t = 0.113 s

Heating of Oil by Air. A flow of 2200 lbm/h of hydrocarbon oil at 100°F enters a heat exchanger, where it is heated to 150°F by
irakobra [83]

Answer:

2062 lbm/h

Explanation:

The air will lose heat and the oil will gain heat.

These heats will be equal in magnitude.

qo = -qa

They will be of different signs because one is entering iits system and the other is exiting.

The heat exchanged by oil is:

qo = Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)

The heat exchanged by air is:

qa = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure is:

Cpa = 0.24 BTU/(lbm*F)

Therefore:

Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi) = Ga * Cpa * (taf - tai)

Ga = (Gp * Cpo * (tof - toi)) / (Cpa * (taf - tai))

Ga = (2200 * 0.45 * (150 - 100)) / (0.24 * (300 - 200)) = 2062 lbm/h

For a body moving with simple harmonic motion state the equations to represent: i) Velocity ii) Acceleration iii) Periodic Time
max2010maxim [7]

Answer with Explanation:

The general equation of simple harmonic motion is

x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)

where,

A is the amplitude of motion

\omega is the angular frequency of the motion

\phi is known as initial phase

part 1)

Now by definition of velocity we have

v=\frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\therefore v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(Asin(\omega t+\phi )\\\\v(t)=A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )

part 2)

Now by definition of acceleration we have

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )\\\\a(t)=-A\omega ^{2}sin(\omega t+\phi )

part 3)

The angular frequency is related to Time period 'T' asT =\frac{2\pi }{\omega }

where

\omega is the angular frequency of the motion of the particle.

Part 4) The acceleration and velocities are plotted below

since the maximum value that the sin(x) and cos(x) can achieve in their respective domains equals 1 thus the maximum value of acceleration and velocity is A\omega ^{2} and A\omega respectively.

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The net work per cycle is 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in horsepower ≈ 45374 hP

Explanation:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The dimension of the cylinder bore diameter = 3.7 in. = 0.09398 m

Stroke length = 3.4 in. = 0.08636 m.

The volume of the cylinder v₁= 0.08636 ×(0.09398²)/4 = 5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume = 16% of cylinder volume = 0.16×5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume, v₂  = 9.59 × 10⁻⁵ m³

p₁ = 14.5 lbf/in.² = 99973.981 Pa

T₁ = 60 F = 288.706 K

\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}  \right )^{K-1}

Otto cycle T-S diagram

T₂ = 288.706*6.25^{0.393} = 592.984 K

The maximum temperature = T₃ = 5200 R = 2888.89 K

\dfrac{T_{3}}{T_{4}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{4}}{v_{3}}  \right )^{K-1}

T₄ = 2888.89 / 6.25^{0.393} = 1406.5 K

Work done, W = c_v×(T₃ - T₂) - c_v×(T₄ - T₁)

0.718×(2888.89  - 592.984) - 0.718×(1406.5 - 288.706) = 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in an Otto cycle = W×Cycle per second

= 845.88 × 2400 / 60  = 33,835.377 kW = 45373.99 ≈ 45374 hP.

Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1040 K, 278 kPa and exits at 120 kPa. The mass flow ra
gladu [14]

Answer:

a) T_{2}=837.2K

b) e=91.3 %

Explanation:

A) First, let's write the energy balance:

W=m*(h_{2}-h_{1})\\W=m*Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})  (The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).

The Cp of air is: 1.004 \frac{kJ}{kgK} And its specific R constant is 0.287 \frac{kJ}{kgK}.

The only unknown from the energy balance is T_{2}, so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.

T_{2}=T_{1}+\frac{W}{mCp}=1040K-\frac{1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}*1.004\frac{kJ}{kgk}} \\T_{2}=837.2K

B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}

Where {h_{2s} is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because h_{2}-h_{1} can be obtained from the energy balance  \frac{W}{m}=h_{2}-h_{1}

h_{2}-h_{1}=\frac{-1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}}=-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}

An entropy change for an ideal gas with  constant Cp is given by:

s_{2}-s_{1}=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})

You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.

For the isentropic process the equation is:

0=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})\\Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})

Applying logarithm properties:

ln((\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R} )=ln((\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp} )\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp}\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})\\T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}

Then,

T_{2}=1040K(\frac{120kPa}{278kPa})^{0.287/1.004}=817.96K

So, now it is possible to calculate h_{2s}-h_{1}:

h_{2s}-h_{1}}=Cp(T_{2s}-T_{1}})=1.004\frac{kJ}{kgK}*(817.96K-1040K)=-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}=\frac{-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}}{-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}}\\e=0.913=91.3 %
