A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be com

pleted by geothermal water available at 160°C at a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m2K, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the required heating.

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature =20^{\circ}C

Final Temperature =80^{\circ}C

mass flow rate of cold fluid \dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s

Initial Geothermal water temperature T_h_i=160^{\circ}C

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water \dot{m_h}=2 kg/s

diameter of inner wall d_i=1.5 cm

U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K

specific heat of water c=4.18 kJ/kg-K

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)

2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)

160-T=36

T=124^{\circ}C

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C

\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C

LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}

LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}

LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot (LMTD)

A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2

A=\pi DL=5.144

L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}

L=109.16 m

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0

r^2+x^2-3x^2=0

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

At x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2} the electric field will be maximum.

Tom is throwing an baseball at an aluminum can,
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The question relates to the conservation of energy principle, the conservation of the linear momentum, and Newton's Laws of motion

Part A

1) Tom throwing a baseball at a can

The initial velocity of the baseball = v₂

The initial kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂ = (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

∴ The final kinetic energy of the baseball, K.E.₂' = (1/2)·m₂·v₂'² < (1/2)·m₂·v₂²

Therefore, the energy of the ball before the collision is lesser than the energy of the ball after the collision

2) The evidence that would likely support the claim is that the baseball's height above the ground reduces rapidly immediately after the collision which is due to the reduced velocity, and therefore, the reduced (kinetic) energy

The final velocity of the baseball v₂' < v₂

Part B

1) The argument

The initial velocity of the can = v₁ = 0 (The can is initially  at rest)

The initial kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² = 0

The final velocity of the can v₁' > v₁ = 0

∴ The final kinetic energy of the can, K.E.₁ = (1/2)·m₁·v₁² > 0

Given that the velocity of the can increases from zero to a positive value after collision with the baseball, the kinetic energy of the can is increased from zero before the collision to a positive value after the collision

2) An evidence in support of the argument is the motion of the can which was initially at rest which is an indication of increase in energy podded by the can

Closing Summary Questions: Phases of Matter
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very rapid at room temperature. A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them. The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions; even at very low temperatures.

Even with all of these state changes, it is important to remember that the substance stays the same—it is still water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Changing states of matter are only physical changes; the chemical properties of the matter stays the same regardless of its physical state!

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
