Answer: C) a&c

Explanation: Composite materials are the materials which are made up of the two or more material of different properties.They are usually having properties like high hardness,low in density,no dissolving into each other etc. Whiskers as a dispersing agent in composite materials are usually not preferred because they are expensive as well as they are not easy to disperse in the composite material.Thus option (c) is the correct answer.

A 0.19-m3 rigid tank equipped with a pressure regulator contains steam at 2 MPa and 300°C. The steam in the tank is now heated.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

576.21kJ

Explanation:

#We know that:

The balance mass $m_{in}+m_{out}=\bigtriangleup m_{system}$

so, $m_e=m_1-m_2$

$Energy \ Balance\\E_{in}-E_{out}=\bigtriangleup E_{system}\\\\\therefore Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$

#Also, given the properties of water as;

$(P_1=2Mpa,T_1=300\textdegree C)->v_1=0.12551m^3/kg,u_1=2773.2kJ/kg->h_1=3024.2kJ/kg\\\\(P_2=2Mpa,T_1=500\textdegree C)->v_2=0.17568m^3/kg,u_1=3116.9kJ/kg->h_1=3468.3kJ/kg$

#We assume constant properties for the steam at average temperatures: $h_e=\approx(h_1+h_2)/2$

#Replace known values in the equation above; $h_e=(3024.2+3468.3)/2=3246.25kJ/kg\\\\m_1=V_1/v_1=0.19m^3/(0.12551m^3/kg)=1.5138kg\\\\m_2=V_2/v_2=0.19m^3/(0.17568m^3/kg)=1.0815kg$

#Using the mass and energy balance relations;

$m_e=m_1-m_2\\\\m_e=1.5138-1.0815\\\\m_e=0.4323kg$

#We have $Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ : we replace the known values in the equation as;

$Q_i_n+m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1\\\\Q_i_n=0.4323kg\times3246.2kJ/kg+1.0815kg\times3116.9-1.5138kg\times2773.2kJ/kg\\\\Q_i_n=573.21kJ$

#Hence,the amount of heat transferred when the steam temperature reaches 500°C is 576.21kJ

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16

Bad White [126]

Answer:

the net work per cycle $\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, W = 88.0144746 hp

Explanation:

the information given includes;

diameter of the four-cylinder bore = 3.7 in

length of the stroke = 3.4 in

The clearance volume = 16% = 0.16

The cylindrical volume $V_2 = 0.16 V_1$

the crankshaft N rotates at a speed of 2400 RPM.

At the beginning of the compression , temperature $T_1$ = 60 F = 519.67 R

and;

Otto cycle with a pressure = 14.5 lbf/in² = (14.5 × 144 ) lb/ft²

= 2088 lb/ft²

The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 R

From the given information; the change in volume is:

$V_1-V_2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D^2L$

$V_1-0.16V_1= \dfrac{\pi}{4}(3.7)^2(3.4)$

$V_1-0.16V_1= 36.55714291$

$0.84 V_1 =36.55714291$

$V_1 =\dfrac{36.55714291}{0.84 }$

$V_1 =43.52040823 \ in^3 \\ \\ V_1 = 43.52 \ in^3$

$V_1 = 0.02518 \ ft^3$

the mass in air ( lb) can be determined by using the formula:

$m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT}$

where;

R = 53.3533 ft.lbf/lb.R°

$m = \dfrac{2088 \ lb/ft^2 \times 0.02518 \ ft^3}{53.3533 \ ft .lbf/lb.^0R \times 519 .67 ^0 R}$

m = 0.0018962 lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at Temperature 519.67 R

$v_{r1} =158.58$

$u_1 = 88.62 Btu/lb$

At state of volume 2; the relative volume can be determined as:

$v_{r2} = v_{r1} \times \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}$

$v_{r2} = 158.58 \times 0.16$

$v_{r2} = 25.3728$

The specific energy $u_2$ at $v_{r2} = 25.3728$ is 184.7 Btu/lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at maximum Temperature T = 5200 R

$v_{r3} = 0.1828$

$u_3 = 1098 \ Btu/lb$

To determine the relative volume at state 4; we have:

$v_{r4} = v_{r3} \times \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}$

$v_{r4} =0.1828 \times \dfrac{1}{0.16}$

$v_{r4} =1.1425$

The specific energy $u_4$ at $v_{r4} =1.1425$ is 591.84 Btu/lb

Now; the net work per cycle can now be calculated as by using the following formula:

$W_{net} = Heat \ supplied - Heat \ rejected$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2)-m(u_4 - u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2- u_4 + u_1)$

$W_{net} = m(1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)$

$W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (410.08)$

$\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}$ Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, in horsepower. can be calculated as follows;

In the four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine; the power developed by the engine can be calculated by using the expression:

$W = 4 \times N' \times W_{net$

where ;

$N' = \dfrac{2400}{2}$

N' = 1200 cycles/min

N' = 1200 cycles/60 seconds

N' = 20 cycles/sec

W = 4 × 20 cycles/sec × 0.777593696

W = 62.20749568 Btu/s

W = 88.0144746 hp

A clutch is chattering. Technician A says that uneven wear on the flywheel could be the cause. Technician B says that worn or br

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct

Explanation:

Due to a contamination of the clutch disc friction surface, the clutch chatters

The contamination that causes clutch chattering includes

1) Worn or broken motor mounts

2) Bell housing bolts becoming loose

3) Clutch link damage

4) Warped flywheel, due to overheating, the flywheel can become warped such that the non uniform surface interfaces the clutch resulting in clutch chattering

5) Engine or transmission oil contaminating the disc.
