A metal bar has a 0.6 in. x 0.6 in. cross section and a gauge length of 2 in. The bar is loaded with a tensile force of 50,000 l

Aleks [24]

Answer:

modulus =3.97X10^6 Ib/in^2, Poisson's ratio = 0.048

Explanation:

Modulus is the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain

Poisson's ratio is the ratio of transverse contraction strain to longitudinal extension strain within the direction of the stretching force

And contraction occur from 0.6 in x 0.6 in to 0.599 in x 0.599 in while 2 in extended to 2.007, with extension of 0.007 in

An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 278C, and 75

Inessa [10]

Answer:

(a). The value of temperature at the end of heat addition process $T_{3}$ = 2042.56 K

(b). The value of pressure at the end of heat addition process $P_{3}$ = 1555.46 k pa

(c). The thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle $E_{otto}$ = 0.4478

(d). The value of mean effective pressure of the cycle $P_{m}$ = 1506.41 $\frac{k pa}{kg}$

Explanation:

Compression ratio $r_{p}$ = 8

Initial pressure $P_{1}$ = 95 k pa

Initial temperature $T_{1}$ = 278 °c = 551 K

Final pressure $P_{2}$ = 8 × $P_{1}$ = 8 × 95 = 760 k pa

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = $T_{1}$ × $r_{p} ^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma} }$

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = 551 × $8 ^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} }$

Final temperature $T_{2}$ = 998 K

Heat transferred at constant volume Q = 750 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

(a). We know that Heat transferred at constant volume $Q_{S}$ = $m C_{v} ( T_{3} - T_{2} )$

⇒ 1 × 0.718 × ( $T_{3}$ - 998 ) = 750

⇒ $T_{3}$ = 2042.56 K

This is the value of temperature at the end of heat addition process.

Since heat addition is constant volume process. so for that process pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ $\frac{P_{3} }{P_{2} }$ = $\frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} }$

⇒ $P_{3}$ = $\frac{2042.56}{998}$ × 760

⇒ $P_{3}$ = 1555.46 k pa

This is the value of pressure at the end of heat addition process.

(b). Heat rejected from the cycle $Q_{R} = m C_{v} ( T_{4} - T_{1} )$

For the compression and expansion process,

⇒ $\frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} } = \frac{T_{4} }{T_{1} }$

⇒ $\frac{2042.56}{998} = \frac{T_{4} }{551}$

⇒ $T_{4}$ = 1127.7 K

Heat rejected $Q_{R}$ = 1 × 0.718 × ( 1127.7 - 551)

⇒ $Q_{R}$ = 414.07 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

Net heat interaction from the cycle $Q_{net}$ = $Q_{S}$ - $Q_{R}$

Put the values of $Q_{S}$ & $Q_{R}$ we get,

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = 750 - 414.07

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = 335.93 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

We know that for a cyclic process net heat interaction is equal to net work transfer.

⇒ $Q_{net}$ = $W_{net}$

⇒ $W_{net}$ = 335.93 $\frac{KJ}{kg}$

This is the net work output from the cycle.

(c). Thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle is given by

$E_{otto} = 1- \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }$

Put the values of $T_{1}$ & $T_{2}$ in the above formula we get,

$E_{otto} = 1- \frac{551 }{998 }$

⇒ $E_{otto}$ = 0.4478

This is the thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle.

(d). Mean effective pressure $P_{m}$ :-

We know that mean effective pressure of the Otto cycle is given by

$P_{m}$ = $\frac{W_{net} }{V_{s} }$ ---------- (1)

where $V_{s}$ is the swept volume.

$V_{s}$ = $V_{1} - V_{2}$ ---------- ( 2 )

From ideal gas equation $P_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = m × R × $T_{1}$

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 95 × $V_{1}$ = 1 × 0.287 × 551

⇒ $V_{1}$ = 0.6 $m^{3}$

From the same ideal gas equation

$P_{2}$ $V_{2}$ = m × R × $T_{2}$

⇒ 760 × $V_{2}$ = 1 × 0.287 × 998

⇒ $V_{2}$ = 0.377 $m^{3}$

Thus swept volume $V_{s}$ = 0.6 - 0.377

⇒ $V_{s}$ = 0.223 $m^{3}$

Thus from equation 1 the mean effective pressure

⇒ $P_{m}$ = $\frac{335.93}{0.223}$

⇒ $P_{m}$ = 1506.41 $\frac{k pa}{kg}$

This is the value of mean effective pressure of the cycle.
