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

A go-cart is traveling at a rate of 25 m/sec for 20 seconds. How far will the go cart travel?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of go cart = 25 m/s

Time travel = 20 seconds

Find:

Distance travel by go-cart

Computation:

Distance = Speed x time

Distance travel by go-cart = Speed of go cart x Time travel

Distance travel by go-cart = 25 x 20

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

gas has a volume of 185 ml and pressure of 310 mm hg. The desiered volume is 74.0 ml. What is the required new pressure
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The required new pressure is 775 mm hg.

Explanation:

We are given that gas has a volume of 185 ml and a pressure of 310 mm hg. The desired volume is 74.0 ml.

We have to find the required new pressure.

Let the required new pressure be '\text{P}_2'.

As we know that Boyle's law formula states that;

                    P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2

where, P_1 = original pressure of gas in the container = 310 mm hg

           P_2 = required new pressure

            V_1 = volume of gas in the container = 185 ml

            V_2 = desired new volume of the gas = 74 ml

So,  P_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{V_2}  

       P_2 = \frac{310 \times 185}{74}

            =  775 mm hg

Hence, the required new pressure is 775 mm hg.

Adam uses a fixed pulley, such as the one shown below, to lift an object. Adam applies an input force to the pulley as he pulls
stira [4]
When Adam applies a ‘pull’ force on the pulley, there is an output force that the pulley lets out, directly pulling the object with it. We cannot always pull up objects with our bear hands, no matter how much force we apply. Which is why pulleys allow us to apply the force and pulleys do the work of pulling the objects for us, since work and force come hand in hand.

Q011) The Doppler effect a. occurs when the frequency of sound waves received is lower if the wave source is moving toward you t
inn [45]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.

It occurs for both light and sound.  

So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.
