Answer:

(a) 5.3

(b) 6

Explanation:

First we calculate time required for excavator to fill 1 truck:

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (No. of Cycles To Fill)(Cycle Time)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (3)(33 sec)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = 99 sec

Now, we find the time taken by a truck to come back to excavator, after dumping:

Time of Return = Hauling Time + Time to Dump + Time to Come Back

Time of Return = 5 min + 45 sec + 3 min

Time of Return = 300 sec + 45 sec + 180 sec

Time of Return = 525 sec

(a)

In order to balance the output of excavator with number of trucks, following condition must be satisfied:

Time of Return = (No. of Trucks)(Time to Fill 1 Truck)

525 sec = (No. of Trucks)(99 sec)

No. of Trucks = 525 sec/99 sec

No. of Trucks = 5.3

(b)

If we round up the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 6

(c)

If we round down the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 5

A reciprocating compressor takes a compresses it to 5 bar. Assuming that the compression is reversible and has an index, k, of 1

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e 424.8 K

Explanation:

given data

pressure p1 = 1 bar

pressure p2 = 5 bar

index k = 1.3

temperature t1 = 20°C = 293 k

to find out

final temperature t2

solution

we have given compression is reversible and has an index k

so we can say temperature is

$\frac{t2}{t1}= [\frac{p2}{p1}]^{\frac{k-1}{k} }$ ...........1

put here all these value and we get t2

$\frac{t2}{293}= [\frac{5}{1}]^{\frac{1.3-1}{1.3} }$

t2 = 424.8

final temperature is 424.8 K

so correct option is e

How high a building could fire hoses effectively spray from the ground? Fire hose pressures are around 1 MPa. (It is also said t

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$

Explanation:

The phenomenon can be modelled after the Bernoulli's Principle, in which the sum of heads related to pressure and kinetic energy on ground level is equal to the head related to gravity.

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}= z_{2}+\frac{P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g}$

The velocity of water delivered by the fire hose is:

$v_{1} = \frac{(300\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot(\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}}$

$v_{1} = 0.267\,\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum height is cleared in the Bernoulli's equation:

$z_{2}= \frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\rho\cdot g} + \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

$z_{2}= \frac{1\times 10^{6}\,Pa-101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa}{(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0.267\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}$

$z_{2} = 91.640\,m$

Suppose a large amount of power is required. Which engine would you choose between Otto and Diesel? Why?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Otto engine

Explanation:

As we know that

Power = Torque x speed

So we can say that when speed of engine then power of engine also will increases.

The speed of Otto engine is more as compare to Diesel engine so the power of Otto engine is more.But on the other hand torque of Diesel engine is more as compare to Otto engine but the speed is low so the product of speed and torque is more for Otto engine .It means that when requires large amount of power then Otto engine should be use.
