Explanation:

If you don't wear your seat belt, you could be thrown into a rapidly opening frontal air bag. Such force could injure or even kill you.

One cylinder in the diesel engine of a truck has an initial volume of 650 cm3 . Air is admitted to the cylinder at 35 ∘C and a p

kupik [55]

Answer:

1) the final temperature is T2 = 876.76°C

2) the final volume is V2 = 24.14 cm³

Explanation:

We can model the gas behaviour as an ideal gas, then

P*V=n*R*T

since the gas is rapidly compressed and the thermal conductivity of a gas is low a we can assume that there is an insignificant heat transfer in that time, therefore for adiabatic conditions:

P*V^k = constant = C, k= adiabatic coefficient for air = 1.4

then the work will be

W = ∫ P dV = ∫ C*V^(-k) dV = C*[((V2^(-k+1)-V1^(-k+1)]/( -k +1) = (P2*V2 - P1*V1)/(1-k)= nR(T2-T1)/(1-k) = (P1*V1/T1)*(T2-T1)/(1-k)

W = (P1*V1/T1)*(T2-T1)/(1-k)

T2 = (1-k)W* T1/(P1*V1) +T1

replacing values (W=-450 J since it is the work done by the gas to the piston)

T2 = (1-1.4)*(-450J) *308K/(101325 Pa*650*10^-6 m³) + 308 K= 1149.76 K = 876.76°C

the final volume is

TV^(k-1)= constant

therefore

T2/T1= (V2/V1)^(1-k)

V2 = V1* (T2/T1)^(1/(1-k)) = 650 cm³ * (1149.76K/308K)^(1/(1-1.4)) = 24.14 cm³

Air at 40C flows over a 2 m long flat plate with a free stream velocity of 7 m/s. Assume the width of the plate (into the paper)

mezya [45]

Complete Question

Air at 40C flows over a 2 m long flat plate with a free stream velocity of 7m/s. Assume the width of the plate (into the paper) is 0.5 m. If the plate is at a co temperature of 100C,find:

The total heat transfer rate from the plate to the air

Answer:

$q=1.7845$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Air Temperature $T_1=40c$

Length $l=2m$

Velocity $v=7m/s$

Width $w=0.5$

Constant temperature $T_t= 100C$

Generally the equation for Total heat Transfer is mathematically given by

$q=hA(T_s-T_\infty)$

Where

h=Convective heat transfer coefficient

$h=29.9075w/m^2k$

Therefore

$q=h(L*B)(T_s-T_\infty)$

$q=29.9075*(2*0.5)(100+273-(40+273))$

$q=1794.45w$

$q=1.7845$

Consider a regenerative gas-turbine power plant with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The overall pressure

iris [78.8K]

Answer: the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

Explanation:

from the T-S diagram, we get the overall pressure ratio of the cycle is 9

Calculate the pressure ratio in each stage of compression and expansion. P1/P2 = P4/P3 = √9 = 3

P5/P6 = P7/P8 = √9 =3

get the properties of air from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

At temperature T1 =300K

Specific enthalpy of air h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr1 = 1.3860

At temperature T5 = 1200 K

Specific enthalpy h5 = 1277.79 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr5 = 238

Calculate the relative pressure at state 2

Pr2 = (P2/P1) Pr5

Pr2 =3 x 1.3860 = 4.158

get the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 2 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure pr = 4.153

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 411.12 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 4.522

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 421.26 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 2 by the method of interpolation

(h2 - 411.12) / ( 421.26 - 411.12) =

(4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153 )

h2 - 411.12 = (421.26 - 411.12) ((4.158 - 4.153) / (4.522 - 4.153))

h2 - 411.12 = 0.137

h2 = 411.257kJ/kg

Calculate the relative pressure at state 6.

Pr6 = (P6/P5) Pr5

Pr6 = 1/3 x 238 = 79.33

Obtain the two values of relative pressure between which the relative pressure at state 6 lies and take the corresponding values of specific enthalpy from, "TABLE A-17 Ideal-gas properties of air", in the text book.

Relative pressure Pr = 75.29

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 932.93 kJ/kg

Relative pressure pr = 82.05

The corresponding specific enthalpy h = 955.38 kJ/kg

Find the specific enthalpy of state 6 by the method of interpolation.

(h6 - 932.93) / ( 955.38 - 932.93) =

(79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

(h6 - 932.93) = ( 955.38 - 932.93) ((79.33 - 75.29) / ( 82.05 - 75.29 )

h6 - 932.93 = 13.427

h6 = 946.357 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work input of the first and second stage compressors

(Wcomp)in = 2(h2 - h1 ) = 2( 411.257 - 300.19 )

= 222.134 kJ/kg

Calculate the total work output of the first and second stage turbines.

(Wturb)out = 2(h5 - h6) = 2( 1277.79 - 946.357 )

= 662.866 kJ/kg

Calculate the net work done

Wnet = (Wturb)out - (Wcomp)in

= 662.866 - 222.134

= 440.732 kJ/kg

Calculate the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW

W = m × Wnet

(105 x 10³) kW = m(440.732 kJ/kg)

m = (105 x 10³) / 440.732

m = 238.2 kg/s

therefore the minimum mass flow rate of air required to generate a power output of 105 MW is 238.2 kg/s

A number 12 copper wire has a diameter of 2.053 mm. Calculate the resistance of a 37.0 m long piece of such wire.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

R=1923Ω

Explanation:

Resistivity(R) of copper wire at 20 degrees Celsius is 1.72x10^-8Ωm.

Coil length(L) of the wire=37.0m

Cross-sectional area of the conductor or wire (A) = πr^2

A= π * (2.053/1000)/2=3.31*10^-6

To calculate for the resistance (R):

R=ρ*L/A

R=(1.72*10^8)*(37.0)/(3.31*10^-6)

R=1922.65Ω

Approximately, R=1923Ω

The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which µk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is s = 4 m from the 10-k

sammy [17]

Answer:

s_max = 0.8394m

Explanation:

From equilibrium of block, N = W = mg

Frictional force = μ_k•N = μ_k•mg

Since μ_k = 0.3,then F = 0.3mg

To determine the velocity of Block A just before collision, let's apply the principle of work and energy;

T1 + ΣU_1-2 = T2

So, (1/2)m_a•(v_ao)² - F•s =(1/2)m_a•(v_a1)²

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

(1/2)•(15)•(10)² - (0.3•15•9.81•4) =(1/2)(15)•(v_a1)²

750 - 176.58 = 7.5(v_a1)²

v_a1 = 8.744 m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum;

Σ(m1v1) = Σ(m2v2)

Thus,

m_a•v_a1 + m_b•v_b1 = m_a•v_a2 + m_b•v_b2

Thus;

15(8.744) + 10(0) = 15(v_a2) + 10(v_b2)

Divide through by 5;

3(8.744) + 2(0) = 3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2)

Thus,

3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2) = 26.232 - - - (eq1)

Coefficient of restitution has a formula;

e = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(v_a1 - v_b1)

From the question, e = 0.6.

Thus;

0.6 = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(8.744 - 0)

0.6 x 8.744 = (v_b2 - v_a2)

(v_b2 - v_a2) = 5.246 - - - (eq2)

Solving eq(1) and 2 simultaneously, we have;

v_b2 = 8.394 m/s

v_a2 = 3.148 m/s

Now, to find maximum compression, let's apply conservation of energy on block B;

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

Thus,

(1/2)m_b•(v_b2)² + (1/2)k(s_1)² = (1/2)m_b•(v_b'2)² + (1/2)k(s_max)²

(1/2)10•(8.394)² + (1/2)1000(0)² = (1/2)10•(0)² + (1/2)(1000)(s_max)²

500(s_max)² = 352.29618

(s_max)² = 352.29618/500

(s_max)² = 0.7046

s_max = 0.8394m
