An inventor tries to sell you his new heat engine that takes in 40 J of heat at 87°C on each cycle, expels 30 J at 27°C, and doe

Answer:

NOT WISE

Explanation:

given,

T₁ = 87⁰C  =  273 + 87 = 360 K

T₂ = 27⁰C  =  273 + 27 = 300 K

work output given = 10 J

efficiency will be equal to :

   \eta = 1 - \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\\\eta = 1 - \dfrac{300}{360}\\\eta = 0.166

output delivery =  η ₓ input

                          =  0.166 ₓ 40  

                          = 6.66 J

hence, the output of new engine  is less than the old one so, investing in new engine will not be feasible.

B)<br>State the essential difference between a plain carbon steel<br>and an alloy steel​
choli [55]

Answer:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace external elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements.

Explanation:

Plain carbon steel has no or trace amount of other elements while alloy steel has high amount of other elements in their composition.

The presence of other elements in alloy steel improvise several physical properties of the steel while plain carbon steel has the basic properties.

A mixing basin in a sewage filtration plant is stirred by a mechanical agitator with a power input/WF L T=. Other parameters de
MakcuM [25]

Answer: π= G[√(u.V/W)]

STEP 1

Given parameters:

Power Input W= FL/T,

Absolute Viscosity u= FT/L²

Basin volume V= V/L³

Velocity gradient G= V/L³

STEP 2

We start by expressing the velocity gradient G as a function of W, u, V

G= G(W,u,V)

To get the pii terms, we use the dimension number formula n=k - r

where n and k are natural numbers representing number of fundamental dimensions and variable present respectively.

n= 4-3=1

STEP 3:

We expressed the pii terms as

π= G.W^a.u^b.V^c

The three fundamental F L T

We can write as

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= 1/T. (FL/T)^a.(FT/L²)^b.(L³)

Using the exponential rule and by comparing coefficient on both sides;

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= F^a+b. L^a-2b+3c. T^-a+b-1

Fⁿ= F^a+b = a+b= 0..............I

Lⁿ= L^a-2b+3c=0 = a-2b+3c=0...........ii

Tⁿ=L^-a+b-1=0. -a+b-1=0............iii

From the above equations we have,

a+b =0: b=-a...........iv

putting eq. iv into iii , we have

-a-a-1=0: -2a-1=0: a= -1/2

substituting the above value of a into eq iv, we have

b= 1/2

substituting the value of b above into eq 2, we have,

-1/2-2(1/2)+3c=0

c=1/2.

Lastly, from the pii terms given above we can obtain dimensionless relationship,

π=G(W^-1/2.u^1/2.V^1/2)

We can write this as

π= G[ √1/W.√u. √1/2] = G[(√u.V/√W)] or G[√(u.V/W)].... final answer.

Consider a fan located in a 3 ft by 3 ft square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are measured, and the average f
natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out  = \frac{dE \ system}{dt}    ......................1

and at steady state  \frac{dE \ system}{dt} = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m \frac{V^2}{2} = \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

put here value

E in =  \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

E in =  0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}  

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s
