Answer:

(a) 65.04%

(b) 16.91%

Solution:

As per the question:

At inlet:

Pressure of the compressor, P = 140 kPa

Temperature, T = - 10^{\circ}C = 263 K

Isentropic work, W = 700 kPa

At outlet:

Pressure, P' = 700 kPa

Temperature, T' = 60^{\circ}C = 333 K

Now, from the steam table;

At the inlet , at a P = 700 kPa, T =60^{\circ}C:

h = 243.40 kJ/kg, s = 0.9606 kJ/kg.K

At outlet, at  P = 140 kPa, T =- 10^{\circ}C:

h' = 296.69 kJ/kg, s' = 1.0182 kJ/kg.K

Also in isentropic process, s = s'_{s} and h'_{s} = 278.06 kJ/kg.K at 700kPa

(a) Isentropic efficiency of the compressor, \eta_{s} = \frac{Work\ done\ in\ isentropic\ process}{Actual\ work\ done}

\eta_{s} = \frac{h'_{s} - h}{h' - h} = frac{278.06 - 243.40}{296.69 - 243.40} = 0.6504 = 65.04%

(b) The temperature of the environment, T_{e} = 27^{\circ}C = 273 + 27 = 300 K

Availability at state 1, \Psi = h - T_{e}s = 243.40 - 300\times 0.9606 = - 44.78 kJ/kg

Similarly for state 2, \Psi' = h' - T_{e}s' = 296.69 - 300\times 1.0182 = - 8.77 kJ/kg

Now, the efficiency of the compressor as per the second law;

\eta' = \frac{\Psi' - \Psi}{h' - h} = \frac{- 8.77 - (- 44.78)}{296.69 - 243.40} = 0.6757 = 67.57%

A round bar of chromium steel, (ρ= 7833 kg/m, k =48.9 W/m-K, c =0.115 KJ/kg-K, α=3.91 ×10^-6 m^2/s) emerges from a heat treatmen
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Q = 424523.22 kw

Explanation:

\rho =7833 kg/m

k = 48.9 W/m - K

c = 0.115 KJ/kg- K

\alpha = 3.91*10^{-6} m^2/s

T_s = 285 degree celcius

T_∞ = 35 degree celcius

velocity of air stream = 15 m/s

D = 40 cm

L = 200 cm

mass flow rate\dot m = \rho AV = 7833 *\frac{\pi}{4} 0.4^2*15

\dot m = 14764.85 kg/s

A_s = \pi DL = \pi 0.4*2 = 2.513 m^2

Q = \dot m C \Delta T = h A_s \Delta T

\dot m C \Delta T = h A_s \Delta T

solving for h

h = \frac{14764.85*0.115*(285-35)}{2.513*(285-35)}

h = 675.6 kw/m^2K

Q = h A_s\Delta T

Q = 675.6*2.513*(285-35)

Q = 424523.22 kw

The section should span between 10.9 and 13.4 cm (4.30 and 5.30 inches) as measured from the end supports and should be able to
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

hello below is missing piece of the complete question

minimum size = 0.3 cm

answer : 0.247 N/mm2

Explanation:

Given data :

section span : 10.9 and 13.4 cm

minimum load applied evenly to the top of span  : 13 N

maximum load for each member ; 4.5 N

lets take each member to be 4.2 cm

Determine the max value of P before truss fails

Taking average value of section span ≈ 12 cm

Given minimum load distributed evenly on top of section span = 13 N  

we will calculate the value of   by applying this formula

= \frac{Wl^2}{12}  =  (0.013 * 0.0144 )/ 12  =  1.56 * 10^-5

next we will consider section ; 4.2 cm * 0.3 cm

hence Z (section modulus ) = BD^2 / 6  

                                             = ( 0.042 * 0.003^2 ) / 6  = 6.3*10^-8

Finally the max value of P( stress ) before the truss fails

= M/Z = ( 1.56 * 10^-5 ) / ( 6.3*10^-8 )  

          = 0.247 N/mm2

What is a radio wave made up of? Molecules? Electrons? Other?
mafiozo [28]

Radio waves are radiated by charged particles when they are accelerated. They are produced artificially by time-varying electric currents, consisting of electrons flowing back and forth in a specially-shaped metal conductor called an antenna. ... Radio waves are received by another antenna attached to a radio receiver.
