What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?

Engineering
2 answers:
Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

Answer:

3) The pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

The higher the MERV filter rate is, the most efficient it will be when it comes to trapping small particles. This comes with a cost. Since the space between fibers is smaller, this translates into a higher pressure drop. This is a disadvantge since in air conditioning or ventilation systems, the higher the pressure drop, the biggest the equipment and the most expensive it is.

An energy system can be approximated to simply show the interactions with its environment including cold air in and warm air out
Elenna [48]

Answer: The energy system related to your question is missing attached below is the energy system.

answer:

a) Work done = Net heat transfer

  Q1 - Q2 + Q + W = 0

b)  rate of work input ( W ) = 6.88 kW

Explanation:

Assuming CPair = 1.005 KJ/Kg/K

<u>Write the First law balance around the system and rate of work input to the system</u>

First law balance ( thermodynamics ) :

Work done = Net heat transfer

Q1 - Q2 + Q + W = 0 ---- ( 1 )

rate of work input into the system

W = Q2 - Q1 - Q -------- ( 2 )

where : Q2 = mCp T  = 1.65 * 1.005 * 293 = 485.86 Kw

             Q2 = mCp T = 1.65 * 1.005 * 308 = 510.74 Kw

              Q = 18 Kw

Insert values into equation 2 above

W = 6.88 Kw

For a fluid with a Prandtl Number of 1000.0, the hydrodynamic layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layers. a) True b) Fals
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

Given:

 Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.

We know that   Pr=\dfrac{\nu }{\alpha }

  Where \nu is the molecular diffusivity of momentum

             \alpha is the molecular diffusivity of heat.

 Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as

    Pr=\left (\dfrac{\delta }{\delta _t}\right )^3

Where \delta is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and \delta_t is the thermal boundary layer thickness.

So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

In given question Pr>1 so  hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.

What are the four causes of electrical faults?
Arada [10]

Answer:

Electrical faults are also caused due to human errors such as selecting improper rating of equipment or devices, forgetting metallic or electrical conducting parts after servicing or maintenance, switching the circuit while it is under servicing, etc.

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to th
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

Explanation:

Given that;

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter i.e diameter (d) = 3.8

mass = 85,000 kg

drag co-efficient (C) = 0.37

(velocity (v)= 230 m/s

density (ρ) = 1.0 kg/m³

To calculate the thrust; we need to determine the relation of the drag force; which is given as:

F_{drag} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

where;

ρ = density of air wind.

C = drag co-efficient

A = Area of the jet

v = velocity of the jet

From the question, we can deduce that the jet is in motion with a constant speed; as such: the net force acting on the jet in the air = 0

SO, F_{drag}-F_{thrust} = 0

We can as well say:

F_{drag}= F_{thrust}

We can now replace F_{thrust} with F_{drag} in the above equation.

Therefore, F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

The A which stands as the area of the jet is given by the formula:

A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

We can now have a new equation after substituting our A into the previous equation as:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × Cρ (\frac{\pi d^2}{4})v^2

Substituting our data from above; we have:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)(\frac{\pi(3.8m)^2 }{4})(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{8}   (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)({\pi(3.8m)^2 })(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = 110,990N

F_{thrust}  in N (newton) to KN (kilo-newton) will be:

F_{thrust} = (110,990N)*\frac{1KN}{1,000N}

F_{thrust} = 110.990 KN

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

In conclusion, the jet engine needed to provide 111 KN thrust in order to cruise at 230 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg/m³.
