Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa, and saturated vapor enters the turbine at

sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

The obtained data from water properties tables are:

Point 1 (condenser exit) @ 8 KPa, saturated fluid

$h_{f} = 173.358 \\h_{fg} = 2402.522$

Point 2 (Pump exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated fluid & @ 4 MPa, saturated fluid

$h_{2a} = 489.752\\h_{2b} = 313.2$

Point 3 (Boiler exit) @ 18 MPa, saturated steam & @ 4 MPa, saturated steam

$h_{3a} = 2701.26 \\s_{3a} = 7.1656\\h_{3b} = 2634.14\\s_{3b} = 7.6876$

Point 4 (Turbine exit) @ 8 KPa, mixed fluid

$x_{a} = 0.8608\\h_{4a} = 2241.448938\\x_{b} = 0.9291\\h_{4b} = 2405.54119$

Calculate mass flow rates

Part a) @ 18 MPa

mass flow

$\frac{100*10^6 }{w_{T} - w_{P}} = \frac{100*10^3 }{(h_{3a} - h_{4a}) - (h_{2a} - h_{f})}\\\\= \frac{100*10^ 3}{(2701.26 - 2241.448938 ) - (489.752 - 173.358)}\\\\= 697.2671076 \frac{kg}{s} = 2510161.587 \frac{kg}{hr}$

Heat transfer rate through boiler

$Q_{in} = mass flow * (h_{3a} - h_{2a})\\Q_{in} = (697.2671076)*(2701.26-489.752)\\\\Q_{in} = 1542011.787 W$

Heat transfer rate through condenser

$Q_{out} = mass flow * (h_{4a} - h_{f})\\Q_{out} = (697.2671076)*(2241.448938-173.358)\\\\Q_{out} = 1442011.787 W$

Thermal Efficiency

$n = \frac{W_{net} }{Q_{in} } = \frac{100*10^3}{1542011.787} \\\\n = 0.06485$

Part b) @ 4 MPa

mass flow

$\frac{100*10^6 }{w_{T} - w_{P}} = \frac{100*10^3 }{(h_{3b} - h_{4b}) - (h_{2b} - h_{f})}\\\\= \frac{100*10^ 3}{(2634.14 - 2405.54119 ) - (313.12 - 173.358)}\\\\= 1125 \frac{kg}{s} = 4052374.235 \frac{kg}{hr}$

Heat transfer rate through boiler

$Q_{in} = mass flow * (h_{3b} - h_{2b})\\Q_{in} = (1125.65951)*(2634.14-313.12)\\\\Q_{in} = 2612678.236 W$

Heat transfer rate through condenser

$Q_{out} = mass flow * (h_{4b} - h_{f})\\Q_{out} = (1125)*(2405.54119-173.358)\\\\Q_{out} = 2511206.089 W$

Thermal Efficiency

$n = \frac{W_{net} }{Q_{in} } = \frac{100*10^3}{1542011.787} \\\\n = 0.038275$

When in regular operation, ash and other debris should be removed _______ from the combustion chamber of a wood-burning heater.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Daily from the combustion chamber of a wood-burning heater.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

As a wood stove heats up, it radiates heat through the walls and top of the stove
This radiant heat warms the immediate area and can be carried into other parts of the home via the home's natural airflow.
Electric or convection-powered fans can help circulate this heat to warm a larger area.

Explain the concept of degrees of freedom in terms of physics and mechanics.

Sophie [7]

Explanation:

Step1

Degree of freedom is the number of independent variable which is required to define motion of the system. Degree of freedom is the number of possible motion of the system. Motion can be sliding or rotate. So, there are maximum 6 possible motions of the system, 3 of rotation and 3 of translation. There are 6 maximum possible degrees of freedoms.

Step2

Take an example of slider that is allowed to slide only. So, the slider will have one degree of freedom. Take an example of cylinder which can rotate as well as slide. So, it will have 2 degree of freedom.
