Answer:

a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?

T (0,400 sec) = 800°C

b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s

c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?

T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C

Explanation:

oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K

h = 20 W/m².K

From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³ k=0.19w/m.k Cp=2385J/kg.k

Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.

From energy balance: $\frac{T - T_{\infty}}{T_i - T_{\infty}} = Exp (\frac{-hA}{evCp})t$

Initial temperature wall = $T_i$

Surface temperature = T

Gas exposed temperature = $T_{\infty}$

Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter ???

Andrej [43]

We need to define the variables,

So,

$F_x (x) = 1-e^{-\lambda x}\\F_x (x) = 1-e^{-0.5x}$

Therefore, the probability that the repair time is more than 4 horus can be calculate as,

$P(x>4)=1-P(x4)= 1-F_x(4)\\P(x>4) = 1-e^{-0.5*4}\\P(x>4) = 1-0.98\\P(x>4) = 0.018$

The probability that the repair time is more than 4 hours is 0.136

b) The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hoirs is calculated as,

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=P(X\geq7+5|x>7)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=P(X\geq5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-P(x\leq 5)\\P(x\geq12|x>7)=1-e^{-0.5(2)}$

$P(x\geq 12|x>7)=0.6321$

The probability that repair time is at least 12 hours given that the repair time is more than 7 hours is 0.63

A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 °C. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the pis

kogti [31]

Answer:

n=2.32

w= -213.9 KW

Explanation:

$V_1=0.3m^3,T_1=298 K$

$V_2=0.1m^3,T_1=1273 K$

Mass of air=1 kg

For polytropic process $pv^n=C$ ,n is the polytropic constant.

$Tv^{n-1}=C$

$T_1v^{n-1}_1=T_2v^{n-1}_2$

$298\times .3^{n-1}_1=1273\times .1^{n-1}_2$

n=2.32

Work in polytropic process given as

w= $\dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1}$

w= $mR\dfrac{T_1-T_2}{n-1}$

Now by putting the values

w= $1\times 0.287\dfrac{289-1273}{2.32-1}$

w= -213.9 KW

Negative sign indicates that work is given to the system or work is done on the system.

For T_V diagram

We can easily observe that when piston cylinder reach on new position then volume reduces and temperature increases,so we can say that this is compression process.

During genetic engineering, how do Restriction enzymes know what base pairs to act on?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct/closest option is b

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are enzymes (endonucleases) that cut short DNA strands at specific sites. Hence, each restriction enzyme has it's own specific site (between two bases) it cuts at. There are two types of end that can be produced by this cut; the blunt end and the sticky end.

A restriction enzyme recognizes (palindromic sequence) and cut in it's own specific end.

For example, if a restriction enzyme cuts between a guanine (G) and an adenine (A), and it cuts a palindromic double stranded DNA in the manner below, it produces a sticky end.

G║AATTC

CTTAA║G

And if a restriction enzyme cuts between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) in the manner below, it produces a blunt end.

GGG║CCC

CCC║GGG

Hence, from the question, restriction enzymes (although chosen by the scientist based on desired sequence to be cut) recognize the sticky or blunt ends itself.

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The cycle operates on the simple Rankine cycl

bogdanovich [222]

A binary geothermal power operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine, the net power output, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined

Assumptions :

1. Steady operating conditions exist.

2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

Properties: The specific heat of geothermal water ( $c_{geo}$ [) is taken to be 4.18 kJ/kg.ºC.

Analysis (a) We need properties of isobutane, we can obtain the properties from EES.

a. Turbine

P $P_{3} = 3.25mPa = (3.25*1000) kPa\\= 3250kPa\\from the EES TABLE\\h_{3} = 761.54 kJ/kg\\s_{3} = 2.5457 kJ/kg\\P_{4} = 410kPa\\\\s_{4} = s_{3} \\h_{4s} = 470.40kJ/kg\\\\T_{4} = 179.5^{0} C\\\\h_{4} = 689.74 kJ/KG\\\\ The isentropic efficiency, n_{T} = \frac{h_{3}-h_{4} }{h_{3}- h_{4s} }$

= $=\frac{761.54-689.74}{761.54-670.40} \\=\frac{71.8}{91.14} \\=0.788$

b. Pump

$h_{1} = h_{f} @ 410kPa = 273.01kJ/kg\\v_{1} = v_{f} @ 410kPa = 0.001842 m^{3}/kgw_{p,in} = \frac{v_{1}(P_{2}-P_{1}) }{n_{p} } \\\\= \frac{0.01842(3250-410)}{0.9} \\\\ =5.81kJ/kg\\h_{2} =h_{1} + w_{p,in}\\ = 273.01+5.81\\ = 278.82 kJ/kg\\\\w_{T,out} = m^{.} (h_{3} -h_{4} )\\=(305.6)(761.54-689.74)\\=305.6(71.8)\\=21,942kW\\\\$

$W^{.} _ {P,in} = m^{.} (h_{2} -h_{1}) \\=m^{.} w_{p,in \\=305.6(5.81)\\\\=1,777kW\\W^{.} _{net} = W^{.} _{T, out} - W^{.} _{P,in} \\= 21,942-1,777\\=20,166 kW\\\\HEAT EXCHANGER\\\\Q_{in} = m^{.} _{geo} c_{geo} (T_{in-T_{out} } )\\=555.9(4.18)(160-90)\\=162.656kW\\$

c. $The thermal efficiency of the cycle n_{th} =\frac{W^{.} _{net} }{Q^{._{in} } } \\\\= \frac{20,166}{162,656} \\=0.124\\=12.4%$
