Drip irrigation

Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient types of irrigation systems. The efficiency of applied and lost water as well as meeting the crop water need ranges from 80% to 90%

Consider a modification of the air-standard Otto cycle in which the isentropic compression and expansion processes are each repl

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(1) Process 1 to 2

W = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = -73.79 kJ/kg

(2) Process 2 to 3

W = 0

Q = 1135.376 kJ/kg

(3) Process 3 to 4

W = -1049.835 kJ/kg

Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

(4) Process 4 to 3

W=0

Q = -569.09 kJ/kg

(b) The thermal efficiency = 49.9 %

(c) The mean effective pressure is 9.44 bar

Explanation:

(a) Volume compression ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2} = 10$

Initial pressure p₁ = 1 bar

Initial temperature, T₁ = 310 K

cp = 1.005 kJ/kg⋅K

Temperature T₃ = 2200 K from the isentropic chart of the Otto cycle

For a polytropic process we have

$\frac{p_1}{p_2} = (\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^n$ Therefore p₂ = p₁ ÷ $(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^n$ = (1 bar) ÷ $(\frac{1}{10} )^{1.3}$ = 19.953 bar

Similarly for a polytropic process we have

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = (\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^{n-1}$ or T₂ = T₁ ÷ $(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^{n-1}$ = $\frac{310}{0.1^{0.3}}$ = 618.531 K

The molar mass of air is 28.9628 g/mol.

Therefore R = $\frac{8.3145}{28.9628}$ = 0.287 kJ/kg⋅K

cp = 1.005 kJ/kg⋅K Therefore cv = cp - R = 1.005- 0.287 = 0.718 kJ/kg⋅K

1). For process 1 to 2 which is polytropic process we have

W = $\frac{R(T_2-T_1)}{n-1}$ = $\frac{0.287(618.531-310)}{1.3 - 1}$ = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = $(\frac{n-\gamma}{\gamma - 1} )W$ = $(\frac{1.3-1.4}{1.4-1} ) 295.16 kJ/kg$ = -73.79 kJ/kg

W = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = -73.79 kJ/kg

2). For process 2 to 3 which is reversible constant volume heating we have

W = 0 and Q = cv×(T₃ - T₂) = 0.718× (2200-618.531) = 1135.376 kJ/kg

W = 0

Q = 1135.376 kJ/kg

3). For process 3 to 4 which is polytropic process we have

W = $\frac{R(T_4-T_3)}{n-1}$ = Where T₄ is given by $\frac{T_4}{T_3} = (\frac{v_3}{v_4} )^{n-1}$ or T₄ = T₃ × $0.1^{0.3}$

= 2200 × $0.1^{0.3}$ T₄ = 1102.611 K

W = $\frac{0.287(1102.611-2200)}{1.3 - 1}$ = -1049.835 kJ/kg

and Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

W = -1049.835 kJ/kg

Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

4). For process 4 to 1 which is reversible constant volume cooling we have

W = 0 and Q = cv×(T₁ - T₄) = 0.718×(310 - 1102.611) = -569.09 kJ/kg

W=0

Q = -569.09 kJ/kg

(b) The thermal efficiency is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_4-T_1}{T_3-T_2}$ = $1-\frac{1102.611-310}{2200-618.531}$ = 0.499 or 49.9 % Efficient

(c) The mean effective pressure is given by

$p_{m} = \frac{p_1r[(r^{n-1}-1)(r_p-1)]}{ (n-1)(r-1)}$ where r = compression ratio and $r_p$ = $\frac{p_3}{p_2}$

However p₃ = $\frac{p_2T_3}{T_2}$ = $\frac{(19.953)(2200)}{618.531}$ =70.97 atm

$r_p$ = $\frac{p_3}{p_2}$ = $\frac{70.97}{19.953} = 3.56$

Therefore $p_m =\frac{1*10*[(10^{0.3}-1)(3.56-1)]}{0.3*9}$ = 9.44 bar

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

$C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})$

$C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

$C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})$

$C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

$C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})$

$C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5}$ $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

a) temperature: random error

b) parallax: systematic error

c) using incorrect value: systematic error

Explanation:

Systematic errors are associated with faulty calibration or reading of the equipments used and they could be avoided refining your method.
