Answer:

$r= \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

$\eta =1-\dfrac{1}{r^{\gamma-1}}$

Explanation:

Compression ratio:

Compression ratio is the ratio of volume in the cylinder.Generally it is denoted by r.

The compression ratio for Otto cycle is about 8 to 12.But the compression ratio of diesel engine is about 14 to 25.

So from the Otto cycle compression ratio can be define as

$r= \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

As we know that efficiency defines as the ratio of work out to the heat input.In the Otto cycle the efficiency is given as in terms of compression ratio r as

$\eta =1-\dfrac{1}{r^{\gamma-1}}$

Where γ is the heat capacity ratio.

The tropics receive more heat from the sun than is radiated away from the tropics, and polar regions radiate more than they rece

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It is a well known fact that the earth rotates around the sun in an inclined axis which is approximately 23 degree. The inclined nature of earth axis causes variation in the solar heat received at any place on the earth surface. The hemisphere facing the sun due to this axial tilt, gets higher sun energy as compared to the opposite side. The hemisphere which faces the sun will experience summer whereas the hemisphere away from sun will experience winter.

In each of the hemisphere the polar areas will receive higher radiation and longer daytime during the summer season. However it has been observed that there is difference in radiation received at different areas of earth surface and radiated. The tropical areas have lower reflectance and thus a large part of incoming solar radiation have been absorbed along the tropics. The poles though have longer daytime during summer and hence greater solar radiation but due to high reflectance radiate more energy. Thus the tropical areas have surplus energy as compared to deficit energy areas of poles. This difference in energy creates a heat imbalance.

This net heat difference between poles and equator gives rise to a global circulation system leading to flow of heat from the net energy excess areas to deficit areas. This circulation takes place through atmosphere as well as oceans and different process of climate viz. evaporation, transpiration, rainfall, wind, convection, oceanic circulations etc work as tools of this system

A concentrated load P is applied to the upper end of a 1.47-m-long pipe. The outside diameter of the pipe is D = 112 mm and the

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Pmax = 38251.73 N

Explanation:

Given info

L = 1.47 m

D = 112 mm ⇒ R = D/2 = 112/2 mm = 56 mm

d = 101 mm ⇒ r = D/2 = 101/2 mm = 50.5 mm

a) We can apply the following equation in order to get Q (First Moment of Area):

Q = 2*(A₁*y₁-A₂*y₂)

where

A₁ = π*R² = π*(56 mm)² = 3136 π mm²

y₁ = 4*R/(3*π) = 4*56/(3*π) mm = 224/(3*π) mm

A₂ = π*r² = π*(50.5 mm)² = 2550.25 π mm²

y₂ = 4*r/(3*π) = 4*50.5/(3*π) mm = 202/(3*π) mm

then

Q = 2*(3136 π mm²*224/(3*π) mm-2550.25 π mm²*202/(3*π) mm)

⇒ Q = 62437.833 mm³

b) If τallow = 83 MPa = 83 N/mm²

P = ?

We can use the equation

τ = V*Q / (t*I) ⇒ V = τ*t*I / Q

where

t = D - d = 112 mm - 101 mm = 11 mm

I = (π/64)*(D⁴-d⁴) = (π/64)*((112 mm)⁴-(101 mm)⁴) = 2615942.11 mm⁴

Q = 62437.833 mm³

we could also use this equation in order to get Q:

Q = (4/3)*(R³-r³)

⇒ Q = (4/3)*((56 mm)³-(50.5 mm)³) = 62437.833 mm³

then we have

V = (83 N/mm²)*(11 mm)*(2615942.11 mm⁴) / (62437.833 mm³)

⇒ V = 2942.255 N

Finally Pmax = V = 38251.73 N

Which of these is the coarsest grit abrasive that may be used on aluminum?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

80grit

Explanation:

80 grit is coarsest grit that may be used on aluminum

The lowest grit sizes range from 40 to 60. From the given options 80 grit is practically available grit.

What is a sandpaper used for?

They are essentially used for surface preparation. Sandpaper is produced in a range of grit sizes and is used to remove material from surfaces, either to make them smoother (for example, in painting and wood finishing), to remove a layer of material (such as old paint), or sometimes to make the surface rougher (for example, as a preparation for gluing).

Which of the following is NOT true about hydraulic systems?

Dmitry [639]

Answer: The answer is D

D.In hydraulic systems, the operating temperatures must be kept between 170�F and 180°F

Explanation:

The operating temperature for hydraulic systems is 140°F and below. Anything above this temperature is too high and will reduce the useful life of hydraulic fluid.

Most often problems associated with hydraulic systems are caused by fluid contaminated with particulate matter.
