2. One of the many methods used for drying air is to cool the air below the dew point so that condensation or freezing of the mo

isture takes place. To what temperature must atmospheric air be cooled in order to have humidity ratio of 0.005 lb/lb?

Answer:

0.5°c

Explanation:

Humidity ratio by mass can be expressed as

the ratio between the actual mass of water vapor present in moist air - to the mass of the dry air

Humidity ratio is normally expressed in kilograms (or pounds) of water vapor per kilogram (or pound) of dry air.

Humidity ratio expressed by mass:

x = mw / ma                                  (1)

where

x = humidity ratio (kgwater/kgdry_air, lbwater/lbdry_air)

mw = mass of water vapor (kg, lb)

ma = mass of dry air (kg, lb)

It can be as:

x = 0.005 (100) / [(100 - 100)]

x = 0.005 x 100 / (100 - 100)

x = 0.005 x 100 / 0

x = 0.5°c

So the temperature to which atmospheric air must be cooled in order to have humidity ratio of 0.005 lb/lb is 0.5°c

You have been assigned to design an open cylindrical storage tank 4 meters tall with a diameter of 8 meters to be made out of A-
Katen [24]

Answer:

The required wall thickness is 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

Explanation:

Given:

Fluid density \rho = 1200 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

Diameter of tank d = 8 m

Length of tank l = 4 m

F.S = 4

For A-36 steel yield stress \sigma = 250 MPa,

Allowable stress \sigma _{allow} = \frac{\sigma}{F.S}

 \sigma _{allow} = \frac{250}{4} = 62.5 MPa

Pressure force is given by,

 P = \rho gh

 P = 1200 \times 9.8 \times 4

P = 47088 Pa

Now for a vertical pipe,

\sigma _{allow} = \frac{Pd}{4t}

Where t = required thickness

 t = \frac{Pd}{4 \sigma _{allow} }

 t = \frac{47088 \times 8 }{4 \times 62.5 \times 10^{6} }

t = 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the required wall thickness is 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

Why does the auto industry prefer uniform (national) standards for automobile emissions as opposed to regionally varying standar
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Explanation:

For automobile emission, a uniform standard is preferred, because no unnecessary advantage is given by it to any company that is located in particular states where the regional standards are less severe.

Since pollution has its impact across the states and in the whole of the USA, then there should be uniform standards across all the states. It will also invalidate the impact of regional standards as a factor in the selection of plant locations for the automobile company. It means that a state offering less valid emission standards, will attract more companies to herself and it will be against the other states who care more about the natural environment. It can make more states to opt for the permissive emission standards, that will be more harmful to the USA as a country, than the good. So, a uniform standard is preferred to eliminate it as a factor in plant location decisions.

Yes, uniform standards are beneficial to everyone, because it will bring effective control upon the pollution level because there will be no state where the culprit firm can hide. Besides, it is more effective as efforts done towards environment conservation.

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator​
weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o
lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA
