Answer:

W_s  = 283.181 hp

Explanation:

Given that:

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at a pressure P_1 =  176.4 lbf/in.^2  and Temperature T_1 at 260°F

Volumetric flow rate V = 424 ft^3/min

Air exits at a pressure P_2  = 15.4 lbf/in.^2 and Temperature T_2 at 80°F.

Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 6800 Btu/h from the compressor to its surroundings; since heat is released to the surrounding; then:

Q_{cv} = -6800 Btu/h  = - 1.9924 kW

Using the steady  state  energy in the process;

h_2 - h_1 + g(z_2-z_1)+ \dfrac{1}{2}(v^2_2-v_1^2) = \dfrac{Q_{cv}}{m}- \dfrac{W_s}{m}

where;

g(z_2-z_1) =0  and  \dfrac{1}{2}(v^2_2-v_1^2) = 0

Then; we have :

h_2 - h_1 = \dfrac{Q_{cv}}{m}- \dfrac{W_s}{m}

h_2 - h_1 = \dfrac{Q_{cv} - W_s}{m}

{m}(h_2 - h_1) ={Q_{cv} - W_s}

W_s  ={Q_{cv} + {m}(h_2 - h_1) ----- (1)

Using the relation of Ideal gas equation;

P₁V₁ = mRT₁

Pressure P_1 =  176.4 lbf/in.^2   = ( 176.4 ×  6894.76 ) N/m² = 1216235.664 N/m²

Volumetric flow rate V = 424 ft^3/min = (424 ×  0.0004719) m³  /sec

= 0.2000856 m³  /sec

Temperature = 260°F = (260°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 399.817 K

Gas constant R=287 J/kg K

Then;

1216235.664 N/m² × 0.2000856 m³  /sec = m × 287 J/kg K × 399.817 K

m = \dfrac { 1216235.664 N/m^2 \times 0.2000856 m^3  /sec  } {287 J/kg K \times 399.817 K  }

m = 2.121 kg/sec

The change in enthalpy:

m(h_1-h_2) =  m * C_p * \Delta T= m* C_p * ( T_1 -T_2)

= 2.121* 1.005* ( 399.817 -299.817)

= 213.1605 kW

From (1)

W_s  ={Q_{cv} + {m}(h_2 - h_1)

W_s  =  - 1.9924 kW + 213.1605 kW

W_s  = 211.1681  kW

W_s  = 283.181 hp

The power input is W_s  = 283.181 hp

The cube measures 3.0-ft on all sides and has a density of 3.1 slugs/ft3. How much does it weigh?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

W = 2695.14 lb

Explanation:

given,

side of cube = 3 ft

density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³

we know,

density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

mass = density x volume

volume = 3³ = 27 ft³

mass =  3.1  x 27

    m = 83.7 slugs.

weight calculation

converting mass from slug to pound

weight of 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lb

now,

weight of the cube is equal to

  W = 83.7 slugs x 32.2 lb/slug

  W = 2695.14 lb

hence, weight is equal to W = 2695.14 lb

Indicate the correct statement about the effect of Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.

It is calculated as;

R_e__N} = \frac{\rho vd}{\mu}

where;

ρ is density

v is velocity

d is diameter

μ is viscosity

All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.

In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

A composite wall is to be used to insulate a freezer chamber at -350C. Two insulating materials are to be used with conductiviti
choli [55]

Answer:

thickness1=1.4m

thickness2=2.2m

convection coefficient=0.33W/m^2K

Explanation:

you must use this equation to calculate the thickness:

L=K(T2-T1)/Q

L=thickness

T=temperature

Q=heat

L1=0.04*(0--350)/10=1.4m

L2=0.1(220-0)/10=2.2m

Then use this equation to calculate the convective coefficient

H=Q/(T2-T1)

H=10/(250-220)=0.33W/m^2K
