What is compression ratio of an Otto cycle? How does it affect the thermal efficiency of the cycle?

Engineering
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
6 0

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.

1. A team of students have designed a battery-powered cooler, which promises to keep beverages at a high-drinkability temperatur
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Minimum electrical power required = 3.784 Watts

Minimum battery size needed = 3.03 Amp-hr

Explanation:

Temperature of the beverages, T_L = 36^0 F = 275.372 K

Outside temperature, T_H = 100^0F = 310.928 K

rate of insulation, Q = 100 Btu/h

To get the minimum electrical power required, use the relation below:

\frac{T_L}{T_H - T_L} = \frac{Q}{W} \\W = \frac{Q(T_H - T_L)}{T_L}\\W = \frac{100(310.928 - 275.372)}{275.372}\\W = 12.91 Btu/h\\1 Btu/h = 0.293071 W\\W = 12.91 * 0.293071\\W_{min} = 3.784 Watt

V = 5 V

Power = IV

W_{min} = I_{min} V\\3.784 = 5I_{min}\\I_{min} = \frac{3.784}{5} \\I_{min} = 0.7568 A

If the cooler is supposed to work for 4 hours, t = 4 hours

I_{min} = 0.7568 * 4\\I_{min} = 3.03 Amp-hr

Minimum battery size needed = 3.03 Amp-hr

Refrigerant 134a enters an air conditioner compressor at 4 bar, 20 C, and is compressed at steady state to 12 bar, 80 C. The vol
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Q=15.7Kw

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure P_1=4bar

Initial Temperature T_1=20 C

Final Pressure  P_2=12 bar

Final Temperature T_2=80C

Work Output W= 60 kJ/kg

Generally Specific Energy from table is

At initial state

 P_1=4bar \& T_1=20 C

 E_1=262.96KJ/Kg

With

Specific Volume V'=0.05397m^3/kg

At Final state

 P_2=12 bar \& P_2=80C

 E_1=310.24KJ/Kg

Generally the equation for The Process is mathematically given by

 m_1E_1+w=m_2E_2+Q

Assuming Mass to be Equal

 m_1=m_1

Where

 m=\frac{V}{V'}

 m=frac{0.06666}{V'=0.05397m^3/kg}

 m=1.24

Therefore

 1.24*262.96+60)=1.24*310.24+Q

 Q=15.7Kw

il63 [147K]

Answer:

a.)

US Sieve no.                         % finer (C₅ )

4                                                  100

10                                                95.61

20                                               82.98

40                                               61.50

60                                               42.08

100                                              20.19

200                                              6.3

Pan                                               0

b.) D10 = 0.12, D30 = 0.22, and D60 = 0.4

c.) Cu = 3.33

d.) Cc = 1

Explanation:

As given ,

US Sieve no.             Mass of soil retained (C₂ )

4                                            0

10                                          18.5

20                                         53.2

40                                         90.5

60                                         81.8

100                                        92.2

200                                       58.5

Pan                                        26.5

Now,

Total weight of the soil = w = 0 + 18.5 + 53.2 + 90.5 + 81.8 + 92.2 + 58.5 + 26.5 = 421.2 g

⇒ w = 421.2 g

As we know that ,

% Retained = C₃ = C₂×\frac{100}{w}

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               % retained (C₃ )               Cummulative % retained (C₄)

4                                            0                                           0

10                                          4.39                                      4.39

20                                         12.63                                     17.02

40                                         21.48                                     38.50

60                                         19.42                                     57.92

100                                        21.89                                     79.81

200                                       13.89                                     93.70

Pan                                        6.30                                      100

Now,

% finer = C₅ = 100 - C₄

∴ we get

US Sieve no.               Cummulative % retained (C₄)          % finer (C₅ )

4                                                     0                                          100

10                                                  4.39                                      95.61

20                                                 17.02                                     82.98

40                                                 38.50                                    61.50

60                                                 57.92                                    42.08

100                                                79.81                                     20.19

200                                                93.70                                   6.3

Pan                                                 100                                        0

The grain-size distribution is :

b.)

From the diagram , we can see that

D10 = 0.12

D30 = 0.22

D60 = 0.12

c.)

Uniformity Coefficient = Cu = \frac{D60}{D10}

⇒ Cu = \frac{0.4}{0.12} = 3.33

d.)

Coefficient of Graduation = Cc = \frac{D30^{2}}{D10 . D60}

⇒ Cc = \frac{0.22^{2}}{(0.4) . (0.12)} = 1

When troubleshooting an inoperative power window motor, first check the:
Gwar [14]

When troubleshooting an inoperative power window motor, first check the:

fuse for the appropriate circuit. wiring to the motor. switch for the motor  ground for the appropriate circuit will be work in the following way.

Explanation:

Use a test light to check the voltage at the motor of the window that is inoperative.

  • Press the power window switch during the testing process. If there is no voltage at the motor, there may be problems in the wiring that runs from the motor to the switch.
  • Check for short, loose or open wires.
  • Causes of power window malfunctions -Window malfunctions are typically caused from either a faulty window regulator (also called a window track), or a broken motor, cable pulley or window switch.  Intermittent problems can cause windows to stop working temporarily only to work again and have more problems later.
  • Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Window Motor / Regulator Assembly. Common signs include having to press multiple times to roll the window up or down, slower or faster window speed, and clicking sounds from the door.
  • What to Do When Your Power Window Won't Go Up  -1.Remove the door panel. 2.Disconnect the window from the motor. 3.Access and disengage the motor. 4.Reconnect the window to the motor and raise. 5.Replace the door panel.
  • Once your window is all the way down, hold the button down for 2-5 seconds. Release the button after you've held it down for a short period of time. On some vehicles, the required time to reset the window is 2 seconds.

A bullet weighing 0.08 lb is fired with a horizontal velocity of 1800 ft/s into the lower end of a slender 23-lb bar of length L
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: hello attached below is the missing image the slender weight is different from what is in the question here so I worked with 23-Ib as requested in the question

answer

≈ 12.17 Rad/sec

Explanation:

weight of bullet ( Wb ) = 0.08 Ib

horizontal velocity = 1800  ft/s

Slender(Wr) = 23-Ib bar with

length ( L ) = 30

h = 12 inches

Vro = 0

<u>Calculate the angular velocity of the bar immediately after the bullet becomes embedded  </u>

attached below is a detailed solution

6.708 = ( 0.05011 + 0.5011 ) w'

w' = 6.708 / 0.55121 ≈ 12.17 Rad/sec
