How does the clearance volume affect the efficiency of the Otto cycle?

Engineering
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A smaller clearance volume means a higher compression. A higher compression means better thermal efficiency. However a compression ratio too high might be troublesome, as it can cause accidental ignition of the fuel-air mix. This is the reason why Otto cycle engines have lower compressions that Diesel engines. In a Diesel engine the mix ignites by compression instead of a spark.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

(C) ln [Bi]

Explanation:

Radioactive materials will usually decay based on their specific half lives. In radioactivity, the plot of the natural logarithm of the original radioactive material against time will give a straight-line curve. This is mostly used to estimate the decay constant that is equivalent to the negative of the slope. Thus, the answer is option C.

Guys i need help and some ones please help me
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

4. A series of steps engineers use to solve problems.

Explanation:

The process of engineering design is a sequence of procedures that engineers pursue to arrive at a solution to a specific problem. Most times the solution includes creating a product such as a computer code, which fulfills certain conditions or performs a function. If the project in-hand includes designing, constructing, and testing it, then engineers probably adopt the design process. Steps of the process include defining the problem, doing background research,  specifying requirements, brainstorming solutions, etc.

Consider a W21x93. Determine the moment capacity of the beam. Assume the compression flange is not laterally braced and that the
OLga [1]

Answer:

The answer is "828.75"

Explanation:

Please find the correct question:

For W21x93 BEAM,

Z_x = 221.00 in^3 \\\\\to \frac{b_t}{2t_f} =4.53\\\\\to \frac{h}{t_w}=32.3

For A992 STREL,

F_y= 50\  ks

Check for complete section:

\to \frac{b_t}{2t_f} =4.53 < \frac{65}{\sqrt{f_y = 9.19}}\\\\\to \frac{h}{t_w} =32.3 < \frac{640}{\sqrt{f_y = 90.5}}

Design the strength of beam =\phi_b Z_x F_y\\\\

                                                =0.9 \times 221 \times 50\\\\=9945 \ in \ \ kips\\\\=\frac{9945}{12}\\\\= 828.75 \ft \ kips \\

How much cornfield area would be required if you were to replace all the oil consumed in the United States with ethanol from cor
zaharov [31]

Answer:

2377.35 km

Explanation:

Given the following;

1. A cornfield is 1.5% efficient at converting radiant energy into stored chemical potential energy;

2. The conversion from corn to ethanol is 17% efficient;

3. A 1.2:1 ratio for farm equipment to energy production

4. A 50% growing season and,

5. 200 W/m2 solar insolation.

As per our assumptions,1.2/1 is the ratio for farm equipment to energy production,

So USA need around 45.45% (1/(1+1.2) replacement of fuel energy production which is nearly about = 0.4545*10^{20} J/year = \frac{0.4545*10^{20}}{365*24*3600}=1.44121*10^{12} J/sec

Growing season is only part of year ( Given = 50%),

Net efficiency = 1.5%*17%*50%=0.015*0.17*0.5=0.001275 = 0.1275%

Hence , Actual Energy replacement (Efficiency),

=\frac{1.44121*10^{12}}{0.001275} = 1.13*10^{15} J/sec=1.13*10^{15} W

As per assumption (5),

\because 200 W/m2 solar insolation arequired,

So USA required corn field area = 1.13*10^{15}/200 = 5.65*10^{12} m^{2}

Hence, length of each side of a square,

= (5.65*10^{12} )^{0.5} = 2377.35 km
