Answer:

number of houses = 3751.243

Explanation:

given data

tower high H =  90 ft

pipe length L = 3 mile

pipe dia d = 6 in

solution

we consider here loss is neglected by dia 6 in pipe

so we apply here bernaulis equation from top to bottom height 90 ft

\frac{P1}{\rho g} + \frac{V1^2}{2 g} + Z1 = \frac{P2}{\rho g} + \frac{V2^2}{2 g} + Z2      ..........................1

here P1 is = o gauge pressure

and P2 = 30 Psi  = 206.843 × 10^{3} Pa

and Z1 = 27.432 m

and Z2 = 0 and V1 = 0

so from equation 1

0+0+27.432 = \frac{206.843*10^3}{1000*9.81} × \frac{V2^2}{2*9.81}

solve we get

V = 11.16 m/s

V = 36.6 ft/s

and

flow will be here

flow Q = AV     ............2

Q = \frac{\pi}{4} (0.15)^2 × 11.16

Q = 0.19723 m³/s

Q = 187562.157 gal/hr

we have given house  use maximum = 50 gal/hr

so total home served = \frac{total flow}{need 1 home}

number of houses = \frac{187562.157}{50}

so number of houses = 3751.243

An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 755 kJ/
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min

House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin

Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin

<u>Step 2: </u> Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.

COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)

COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)

COPr,c = 1/ 0.037

COPr,c = 27

<u>Step 3:</u> The power input cna be given as followed:

Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max

Wnet, in = 755  / 27

Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min

Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min  = 0.466 KW

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Is it possible to have a heat engine with efficiency of 100%?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Heat engines are used for converting the heat into mechanical energy which is used for doing mechanical work.

The efficiency of heat engine is the fraction of mechanical energy to the thermal energy. The efficiency can not be 100% as some of the energy always loss due to friction and motion of the body parts of the heat engine.

List three types of concurrent engineering in manufacturing.
klio [65]

Answer:

A famous example of concurrent engineering is the development of the Boeing 777 commercial aircraft. The aircraft was designed and built by geographically distributed companies that worked entirely on a common product database of C A TIA without building physical mock-ups but with digital product definitions.
