Give an example of how the fields of science, technology, and mathematics are commonly used when building a highway.

1 answer:

8 0

Science: how will chemicals used to treat the road react to the environment? what chemicals can be used to make the highway that will not cause problems?
technology: sensors could be placed in the road, especially for stop signs or red lights that will sense the presence of a vehicle.
mathematics: how long will the highway be? what angle will each turn be? how wide should the highway be? how many lanes?

Answer:

flow(m) = 7.941 lbm/s

Q_in = 90.5184 Btu/lbm

Q_out = 56.01856 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Given:

- T_1 = 60 F = 520 R

- T_6 = 940 = 1400 R

- Heat ratio for air k = 1.4

- Compression ratio r = 3

- W_net,out = 1000 hp

Find:

mass flow rate of the air

rates of heat addition and rejection

Solution:

- Using ideal gas relation compute T_2, T_4, T_10:

T_2 = T_1 * r^(k-1/k)

T_2 = T_4 = T_10 = 520*3^(.4/1.4) = 711.744 R

- Using ideal gas relation compute T_7, T_5, T_9:

T_7 = T_6 * r^(-k-1/k)

T_7 = T_5 = T_9 = 1400*3^(-.4/1.4) = 1022.84 R

- The mass flow rate is obtained by:

flow(m) = W_net,out / 2*c_p*(1400-1022.84-711.744+520)

flow(m) = 1000*.7068 / 2*0.24*(1400-1022.84-711.744+520)

flow(m) = 7.941 lbm/s

- The heat input is as follows:

Q_in = c_p*(T_6 - T_5)

Q_in = 0.24*(1400 - 1022.84)

Q_in = 90.5184 Btu/lbm

- The heat output is as follows:

Q_out = c_p*(T_10 - T_1)

Q_out = 0.24*(711.744 - 520)

Q_out = 56.01856 Btu/lbm
