For a body moving with simple harmonic motion state the equations to represent: i) Velocity ii) Acceleration iii) Periodic Time

max2010maxim [7]

Answer with Explanation:

The general equation of simple harmonic motion is

$x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

where,

A is the amplitude of motion

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the motion

$\phi$ is known as initial phase

part 1)

Now by definition of velocity we have

$v=\frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\therefore v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(Asin(\omega t+\phi )\\\\v(t)=A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )$

part 2)

Now by definition of acceleration we have

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(A\omega cos(\omega t+\phi )\\\\a(t)=-A\omega ^{2}sin(\omega t+\phi )$

part 3)

The angular frequency is related to Time period 'T' as $T =\frac{2\pi }{\omega }$

where

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the motion of the particle.

Part 4) The acceleration and velocities are plotted below

since the maximum value that the sin(x) and cos(x) can achieve in their respective domains equals 1 thus the maximum value of acceleration and velocity is $A\omega ^{2}$ and $A\omega$ respectively.

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$P_m_i_n = 442KPA$

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

$T_H = 1.2T_L$

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

$COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}$

$= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}$

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

$Q_l = COP_R Wm$

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

$Q_H = Q_L + W_m$

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= $= \frac{132}{1.06}$

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

$T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2}$ ;

$T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}$

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at $T_L$ = 12.4°c we have 442KPa

Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the worki

storchak [24]

Answer:

True, <em>Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor</em>.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. <em>Regeneration</em> technique <em>is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine. </em>

<em>Thermal efficiency</em> of a turbine is increased as <em>the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor. </em>

An insulated, vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 10kg of water, 6kg of which is in the vapor phase. The mass of

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a)120C

b)29kg

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this exercise follow the steps below

1. we will call 1 the initial state, 2 the steam that enters and 3 the final state

2. We find the quality of the initial state, dividing the mass of steam by the total mass.

$q1=\frac{6kg}{10kg} =0.6$

3 Find the internal energy in the three states using thermodynamic tables

note:Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.

u1=IntEnergy(Water;x=0,6(quality);P=200kPa) =1719KJ/kg

u2=IntEnergy(Water;t=350;P=5000kPa) =2808KJ/kg

u3=IntEnergy(Water;x=1;P=200kPa) =2529KJ/kg

4. use the internal energy and pressure to find the temperature in state 3, using thermodynamic tables

T3=Temperature(Water;P=200kPa;u=u3=2529KJ/kg)=120C

5. Use the first law of thermodynamics in the system, it states that the initial energy in a system must be equal to the final

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)u3

where

m1=inital mass=10kg

m2=the mass of the steam that has entered.

solve for m2

(m1)(u1-u3)=(m2)(u3)-(m2)(u2)

$m2=m1\frac{u1-u3}{u3-u2} =10\frac{1719-2529}{2529-2808} =29kg$
