Given: A graphite-moderated nuclear reactor. Heat is generated uniformly in uranium rods of 0.05m diameter at the rate of 7.5 x

107 W/m3. These rods are jacketed by an annulus in which water at an average temperature of 120 deg C is circulated. The water cools the rods with an average convection coefficient of 55,000 W/m2-K. The thermal conductivity of uranium is 29.5 W.m-K. Find: The maximum center temperature of the uranium fuel rods.

Answer:

The maximum temperature at the center of the rod is found to be 517.24 °C

Explanation:

Assumptions:

1- Heat transfer is steady.

2- Heat transfer is in one dimension, due to axial symmetry.

3- Heat generation is uniform.

Now, we consider an inner imaginary cylinder of radius R inside the actual uranium rod of radius Ro. So, from steady state conditions, we know that, heat generated within the rod will be equal to the heat conducted at any point of the rod. So, from Fourier's Law, we write:

Heat Conduction Through Rod = Heat Generation

-kAdT/dr = qV

where,

k = thermal conductivity = 29.5 W/m.K

q = heat generation per unit volume = 7.5 x 10^7 W/m³

V = volume of rod = π r² l

A = area of rod = 2π r l

using these values, we get:

dT = - (q/2k)(r dr)

integrating from r = 0, where T(0) = To = Maximum center temperature, to r = Ro, where, T(Ro) = Ts = surface temperature = 120°C.

To -Ts = qr²/4k

To = Ts + qr²/4k

To = 120°C + (7.5 x 10^7 W/m³)(0.025 m)²/(4)(29.5 W/m.°C)

To = 120° C + 397.24° C

<u>To = 517.24° C</u>

The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar of length l = 20 in. and move with negligible friction in the slots, both
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

- The Length of the rigid bar L = 20 in

- The position of slider a, x_a = 16 in

- The position of slider b, y_b

- The velocity of slider a, v_a = 3 ft /s

- The velocity of slider b, v_b

- The acceleration of slider a, a_a

- The acceleration of slider b, a_b

Find:

-Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.

Solution:

- The relationship between the length L of the rod and the positions x_a and x_b of sliders A & B is as follows:

                               L^2 = x_a^2 + y_b^2   ....... 1

                               y_b = sqrt( 20^2 - 16^2 )

                               y_b = 12

- The velocity expression can derived by taking a derivation of Eq 1 with respect to time t:

                               0 = 2*x_a*v_a + 2*y_b*v_b

                               0 = x_a*v_a + y_b*v_b   ..... 2

                               0 = 16*36 + 12*v_b

                               v_b = - 48 in /s = -4 ft/s

- Similarly, the acceleration expression can be derived by taking a derivative of Eq 2 with respect to time t:

                               0 = v_a^2 + x_a*a_a + v_b^2 + y_b*a_b

                               0 = 9 + 4*a_a/3 + 16 + a_b

                               4*a_a/3 + a_b = -25

                               4*a_a + 3*a_b = -75  .... 3

- Use dynamics on each slider. For Slider A, Apply Newton's second law of motion in x direction:

                               F_x = m_a*a_a

                               P - R_r*16/20 = m_a*a_a

                               

- For Slider B, Apply Newton's second law of motion in y direction:

                               F_y = m_b*a_b

                               - R_r*12/20 = m_b*a_b

- Combine the two dynamic equations:

                               P - 4*m_b*a_b / 3 = m_a*a_a

                               3P = 3*m_a*a_a + 4*m_b*a_b  ... 4

- Where,                  P = Is the force acting on slider A

                               P , m_a and m_b are known quantities but not given in question. We are to solve Eq 3 and Eq 4 simultaneously for a_a and a_b.

An elevation is.... * 10 points a. A detailed description of requirements, composition and materials for a proposed building. b.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

b. A view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one façade. This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.

Explanation:

An elevation is a three-dimensional, orthographic, architectural projection that reveals just a side of the building. It is represented with diagrams and shadows are used to create the effect of a three-dimensional image.

It reveals the position of the building from ground-depth and only the outer parts of the structure are illustrated. Elevations, building plans, and section drawings are always drawn together by the architects.

Discuss the difference between a dual split and a diagonal split master cylinder.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The difference between the dual split Master cylinder and diagonal split Master cylinder is dual split it makes power brakes less prone to failure while diagonal split is when the left rear and right front brakes are on one hydraulic line while the right front and left rear brakes are on another.
