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

<h3>What is a Machine gun ?</h3>

The term "machine gun" refers to a rifled, autoloading, fully automatic weapon intended for continuous direct fire using rifle rounds. Other automatic weapons, such as automatic rifles, are often intended to fire in brief bursts rather than continuously, and are not regarded as real machine guns because of this.

  • Machine guns and other automatic weapons vary in that they fire rounds continually until the shooter lets off of the trigger after pulling it once. Fully automatic guns are uncommon compared to semi-automatic rifles.

The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

T = 5416.67 N

T = -2083.5 N

T = 0

Explanation:

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.

part a

Flight speed u = ( 150 km / h ) / 3.6 = 41.67 km / s

The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:

T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (150 - 41.67)\\\\T = 5416.67 N

Answer: The thrust force T = 5416.67 N

part b

Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust equation is:

T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (0 - 41.67)\\\\T = -2083.5 N

Answer: The thrust force T = -2083.5 N reverse direction

part c

Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero as there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.

Answer: T = 0 N

How would I find the Voltage across the open circuit
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

  Vab = 80V

Explanation:

The only current flowing in the circuit is supplied by the 100 V source. Its only load is the 40+60 ohm series circuit attached, so the current in that loop is (100V)/(40+60Ω) = 1A. That means V1 = (1A)(60Ω) = 60V.

Vab will be the sum of voltages around the right-side "loop" between terminals 'a' and 'b'. It is (working clockwise from terminal 'b') ...

  Vab = -10V +60V +(0A×10Ω) +30V

  Vab = 80V
