What scale model proves the initial concept?

use engineering judgement to estimate the size of cooling and heating equipment that is needed for a three story, 31,000 square

Blizzard [7]

Answer: operating cost = 22820.736 $

Energy = 32.291 KBtu/sf.

Explanation:

Total heating load is given as = 31000 * 31.25

= 968.75* 103 Btu

From the cooling capacity application;

If 1000ftsquare = 2.8 TR

Therefore 30000ftsquare = x

Where x is the total cooling load,

Therefore x = (30000 * 2.8) / 1000

x = 84TR.

Therefore, the total cooling load, x = 84TR

Using conversion factor;

i.e. converting Btu/hr to MBH

1 MBH = 1000 Btu per hour

we have 968.75* 103 Btu/hr = 968.75 MBH

let us proceed.

Estimating the “Annual operating cost” we first calculate the maximum operating cost (Avg/Annum)

For cooling load:

Max. operatn. Cost = 14 * 84 = 1176$

For heating load:

The average heating loading hours = 1000 hrs.

Conversion to Btu/yr gives = 968.75* 103 * 1000

= 968.75* 106 Btu/yr.

Conversion of 968.75* 103Btu to Kwh gives

1Btu = 0.000293

968.75* 103 Btu = 283.84 Kwh

Therefore, average cost gives;

(8.04/100) $ = 1Kwh

X = 283.84*103

X = 22820.736 $

Operating cost = 22820.736 $

Energy use in KBtu/sf is given as

E = 968.75* 103 / 30000

E = 32.291 KBtu/sf.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 800 psia and9008F and leaves at a pressure of 40 psia. Determine themaximum amount of work

Naily [24]

Answer:

$w_{out}=319.1\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the inlet stream, from the steam table, the specific enthalpy and entropy are:

$h_1=1456.0\frac{BTU}{lbm} \ \ \ s_1=1.6413\frac{BTU}{lbm*R}$

Next, for the liquid-vapor mixture at the outlet stream we need to compute its quality by taking into account that since the turbine is adiabatic, the entropy remains the same:

$s_2=s_1$

Thus, the liquid and liquid-vapor entropies are included to compute the quality:

$x_2=\frac{s_2-s_f}{s_{fg}}=\frac{1.6313-0.39213}{1.28448}=0.965$

Next, we compute the outlet enthalpy by considering the liquid and liquid-vapor enthalpies:

$h_2=h_f+x_2h_f_g=236.14+0.965*933.69=1136.9\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Then, by using the first law of thermodynamics, the maximum specific work is computed via:

$h_1=w_{out}+h_2\\\\w_{out}=h_1-h_2=1456.0\frac{BTU}{lbm}-1136.9\frac{BTU}{lbm}\\\\w_{out}=319.1\frac{BTU}{lbm}$

Best regards.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100.”

liraira [26]

Answer: quatrain

Explanation:

Reading the Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100", we can infer that the underlined section is referred to as a quatrain.

The quatrain simply refers to a type of stanza that is made up of four lines. For example, based on the information given, we can deduce that the rhyme scheme for the second quatrain is given as cdcd.

A ½-hp motor requires 120 volts. What amperage is required?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

3.11 A

Explanation:

Use the given relations between power, horsepower, voltage, and current to find the current requirement for the motor.

P = hp(745.7 W) = (1/2)(745.7 W) = 372.85 W

I = P/V = (372.85 W)/(120 V) = 3.1071 A

The amperage required is about 3.11 A.

Tech A says you can find the typical angle of a V-block engine by dividing the number of cylinders by 720

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Tech A is right as its V- angle is identified by splitting the No by 720 °. Of the piston at the edge of the piston.

Tech B is incorrect, as the V-Angle will be 720/10 = 72 for the V-10 motor, and he says 60 °.
