In using the drag coefficient care needs to be taken to use the correct area when determining the drag force. What is a typical

example of the appropriate area to use?

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Drag forceF_D

  F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}C_D\rho AV^2

Where

             C_D is the drag force constant.

                 A is the projected area.

                V is the velocity.

                ρ is the density of fluid.

Form the above expression of drag force we can say that drag force depends on the area .So We should need to take care of correct are before finding drag force on body.

Example:

 When we place our hand out of the window in a moving car ,we feel a force in the opposite direction and feel like some one trying to pull our hand .This pulling force is nothing but it is drag force.

A man weighs 145 lb on earth.Part ASpecify his mass in slugs.Express your answer to three significant figures and include the ap
adell [148]

Answer:

<em>a) 4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>

<em>b) 65.8 kg</em>

<em>c) 645 N</em>

<em>d) 23.8 lb</em>

<em>e) 65.8 kg</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Weight of the man on Earth = 145 lb

a) Mass in slug is...

32.174 pound = 1 slug

145 pound = x slug

x = 145/32.174 = <em>4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>

b) Mass in kg is...

2.205 pounds = 1 kg

145 pounds = x kg

x = 145/2.205 = <em>65.8 kg</em>

c) Weight in Newton = mg

where

m is mass in kg

g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s^2

Weight in Newton = 65.8 x 9.81 = <em>645 N</em>

d) If on the moon with acceleration due to gravity of 5.30 ft/s^2,

1 m/s^2 = 3.2808 ft/s^2

x m/s^2 = 5.30 ft/s^2

x = 5.30/3.2808 = 1.6155 m/s^2

weight in Newton = mg = 65.8 x 1.6155 = 106

weight in pounds = 106/4.448 = <em>23.8 lb</em>

e) The mass of the man does not change on the moon. It will therefore have the same value as his mass here on Earth

mass on the moon = <em>65.8 kg</em>

A 11-cm-diameter horizontal jet of water with a velocity of 40 m/s relative to the ground strikes a flat plate that is moving in
Reika [66]

Answer:

F = 8552.7N

Explanation:

We need first our values, that are,

V_{jet} = 40m/s\\V_{Plate} = 10m/s \\D = 11cm

We start to calculate the relative velocity, that is,

V_r = V_{jet}-V_{plate}\\V_r = (40)-(10)\\V_r = 30m/s

With the relative velocity we can calculate the mass flow rate, given by,

\dot{m}_r = \rho A V_r

\dot{m}_r = (1000)(30) \frac{\pi (0.11)^2}{4}

\dot{m}_r = 285.09kg/s

We need to define the Force in the direction of the flow,

\sum\vec{F} = \sum_{out} \beta\dot{m}\vec{V} - \sum_{in} \beta\dot{m} \vec{V}\\

F = \dot{m}V_r

F = (285.09Kg/s)(30)

F = 8552.7N

Determine (a) the principal stresses and (b) the maximum in-plane shear stress and average normal stress at the point. Specify t
raketka [301]

Answer:

a) 53 MPa,  14.87 degree

b) 60.5 MPa  

Average shear = -7.5 MPa

Explanation:

Given

A = 45

B = -60

C = 30

a) stress P1 = (A+B)/2 + Sqrt ({(A-B)/2}^2 + C)

Substituting the given values, we get -

P1 = (45-60)/2 + Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30)

P1 = 53 MPa

Likewise P2 = (A+B)/2 - Sqrt ({(A-B)/2}^2 + C)

Substituting the given values, we get -

P1 = (45-60)/2 - Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30)

P1 = -68 MPa

Tan 2a = C/{(A-B)/2}

Tan 2a = 30/(45+60)/2

a = 14.87 degree

Principal stress

p1 = (45+60)/2 + (45-60)/2 cos 2a + 30 sin2a = 53 MPa

b) Shear stress in plane

Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30) = 60.5 MPa

Average = (45-(-60))/2 = -7.5 MPa

A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1453 C and has a thermal efficiency of 43 percent. The heat engine does maximu
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) 1253 kJ

b) 714 kJ

c) 946 C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency is given by this equation

η = L/Q1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the heat source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L/η

Replacing

Q1 = 539 / 0.43 = 1253 kJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

For a machine working in cycles ΔU is zero between homologous parts of the cycle.

Also we must remember that we count heat entering the system as positiv and heat leaving as negative.

We split the heat on the part that enters and the part that leaves.

Q1 + Q2 = L + 0

Q2 = L - Q1

Q2 = 539 - 1253 = -714 kJ

TO calculate a temperature for the heat sink we must consider this cycle as a Carnot cycle. Then we can use the thermal efficiency equation for the Carnot cycle, this one uses temperatures:

η = 1 - T2/T1

T2/T1 = 1 - η

T2 = (1 - η) * T1

The temperatures must be given in absolute scale (1453 C = 1180 K)

T2 = (1 - 0.43) * 1180 = 673 K

673 K = 946 C

Is the COP of a heat pump always larger than 1?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump=  1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.
