Answer:

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, aircraft and ships.

A freezer is maintained at 20°F by removing heat from it at a rate of 75 Btu/min. The power input to the freezer is 0.70 hp, and

Igoryamba

Answer:

Explanation:

Cop of reversible refrigerator = TL / ( TH - TL)

TL = low temperature of freezer = 20 °F

TH = temperature of air around = 75 °F

Heat removal rate QL = 75 Btu/min

W actual, power input = 0.7 hp

conversion on F to kelvin = (T (°F) + 460 ) × 5 / 9

COP ( coefficient of performance) reversible = (20 + 460) × 5/9 / (5/9 ( ( 75 +460) - (20 + 460) ))

COP reversible = 480 / 55 = 8.73

irreversibility expression, I = W actual - W rev

COP r = QL / Wrev

W rev = QL / COP r where 75 Btu/min = 1.76856651 hp where W actual = 0.70 hp

a) W rev = 1.76856651 hp / 8.73 = 0.20258 hp is reversible power

I = W actual - W rev

b) I = 0.7 hp - 0.20258 hp = 0.4974 hp

c) the second-law efficiency of this freezer = W rev / W actual = 0.20258 hp / 0.7 hp = 0.2894 × 100 = 28.94 %

g A food department is kept at -12oC by a refrigerator in an environment at 30oC. The total heat gain to the food department is

boyakko [2]

Answer:

a) $\dot W = 0.417\,kW$ , b) $COP_{R} = 2.198$ , c) Irreversible.

Explanation:

a) The power input required by the refrigerator is:

$\dot W = \dot Q_{H} - \dot Q_{L}$

$\dot W = \left(4800\,\frac{kJ}{h} - 3300\,\frac{kJ}{h}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600} \,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$\dot W = 0.417\,kW$

b) The Coefficient of Performance of the refrigerator is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{\dot W}$

$COP_{R} = \frac{3300\,\frac{kJ}{h} }{(0.417\,kW)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}$

$COP_{R} = 2.198$

c) The maximum ideal Coefficient of Performance of the refrigeration is given by the inverse Carnot's Cycle:

$COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{R,ideal} = \frac{261.15\,K}{303.15\,K - 261.15\,K}$

$COP_{R,ideal} = 6.218$

The refrigeration cycle is irreversible, as $COP_{R} < COP_{R,ideal}$ .

A cantilever beam is 4000 mm long span and has a u.d.l. of 0.30 kN/m. The flexural stiffness is 60 MNm². Calculate: 1. Slope 2.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1. Slope = 53.3 x 10⁻⁶

2. Deflection = -0.00016m

Explanation:

given:

let L = 4 m (span of cantilever beam)

let w = 300 N/m (distributed load)

let EI =60 MNm² (flexural stiffness)

dy w * L³ 300 x 4³

1. slope = ------- = --------- = ------------------- = 53.3 x 10⁻⁶

dx 6EI 6 x 60x10⁶

wL⁴ 300 x 4⁴

2. Deflection = y = - ----------- = - ------------------ = -0.00016m

8EI 8 x 60x10⁶

therefore the deflection is 0.16mm downwards.
