Cold water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) leading to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe counterflow heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate

of 0.25 kg/s and is heated to 45°C by hot water (cp = 4190 J/kg·K) that enters at 100°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger using the ε–NTU method. Answers: 31.35 kW, 0.482 m2

Answer:

The rate of heat transfer is  H = 31.35\  kW

The heat transfer surface area is  A_s = 0.4818 m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

          The  specific heat of water is cp = 4180 \ J/kg \cdot K

           The temperature of cold water is T_c = 15^o C

            The rate of cold the flow is \r m = 0.25 kg/s

           The temperature of the heated water T_h = 45 ^oC

            The specific heat of hot water is  c_p__{H}} = 4190 J/kg \cdot K

              The temperature of the hot water is T_H = 100^oC

               The rate of hot the flow is \r m_H = 3 kg/s

               The heat transfer coefficient is U = 950 W/m^2 \cdot K,

From the \epsilon -NTU method we have that

       C_h  = \r m_H c_p__{H}}

Where C_h is the heat capacity rate of hot  water

      Substituting the value

            C_h = 3 * (4190)

                 = 12,5700\ W/^oC

Also

      C_c = \r m c_p

Where C_c is the heat capacity rate of cold  water

        C_c = 0.25 * 4180

              = 1045 \ W / ^oC

The maximum heat capacity C_h and the minimum  heat capacity is C_c

       The maximum heat transfer is

                H_{max}  =  C_c (T_H - T_c)

Substituting values  

               H_{max} = (1045)(100- 15)

                          = 88,825\  W

The actual heat transfer is mathematically evaluated as

               H = C_c (T_h - T_c)

Substituting values

               H = 1045 (45 - 15 )

                    H = 31350 \ W

                    H = 31.35\  kW

The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is mathematically evaluated as

             \epsilon = \frac{H}{H_{max}}

  Substituting values  

           \epsilon = \frac{31350}{88,825}

              = 0.35

The NTU of the heat exchanger is mathematically represented as

          NTU = \frac{1}{C-1} ln [\frac{\epsilon - 1}{\epsilon C -1} ]

Where C is the ratio of the minimum to the maximum heat capacity which is mathematically represented as

             C = \frac{C_c}{C_h}

Substituting values

             C = \frac{1045}{12,570}

                 = 0.083

Substituting values in to the equation for NTU

         NTU = \frac{1}{0.083 -1} ln[\frac{0.35 - 1}{0.35 * (0.083 - 1)} ]

                   = 0.438

Generally the heat transfer surface area can be mathematically represented as

         A_s = \frac{NTU C_c}{U}

Substituting values

          A_s = \frac{(0.438) (1045)}{950}

              A_s = 0.4818 m^2

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

K = σT/ (εT)ⁿ

given that metal alloy true stress σT = 345 Mpa, plastic true strain εT = 0.02,

strain-hardening exponent n = 0.22

we substitute

K = 345 / 0.02^{0.22

K = 815.8165 Mpa

next, we determine the true strain

(εT) = (σT/ K)^1/n

given that σT = 412 MPa

we substitute

(εT) = (412 / 815.8165 )^(1/0.22)

(εT) = 0.04481 mm

Now, we calculate the instantaneous length

l_i = l_0e^{ET

given that l_0 = 480 mm

we substitute

l_i =480mm × e^{0.04481

l_i =  501.998 mm

Now we find the elongation;

Elongation = l_i - l_0

we substitute

Elongation = 501.998 mm - 480 mm

Elongation = 21.998 mm

Therefore, the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

technician a says that the higher the gear selected the more torque is available. technician b says that a transaxle contains ge
umka21 [38]

Technician A is correct. Technician B is wrong because a gear's transmission is used to increase or decrease torque.

The relation torque is relying on multiplying the circumferential detail with the resource of the usage of the radius; massive gears experience a greater amount of torque, at the same time as smaller gears experience a great deal much less torque. Similarly, the torque ratio is equal to the ratio of the gears' radii. A gear's transmission torque modifications as it will boom or decreases speed. Commonly, with the resource of the usage of lowering the speed, a small torque on the doorway issue is transferred as a massive torque at the output issue. The calculation of torque is quantified with the resource of the usage of an extensive form of teeth.

To find the reactance XLXLX_L of an inductor, imagine that a current I(t)=I0sin(ωt)I(t)=I0sin⁡(ωt) , is flowing through the indu
Sophie [7]

Answer:

V(t) = XLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt)

Explanation:

According to Maxwell's equation which is expressed as;

V(t) = dФ/dt ........(1)

Magnetic flux Ф can also be expressed as;

Ф = LI(t)

Where

L = inductance of the inductor

I = current in Ampere

We can therefore Express Maxwell equation as:

V(t) = dLI(t)/dt ....... (2)

Since the inductance is constant then voltage remains

V(t) = LdI(t)/dt

In an AC circuit, the current is time varying and it is given in the form of

I(t) = I₀sin(ωt)

Substitutes the current I(t) into equation (2)

Then the voltage across inductor will be expressed as

V(t) = Ld(I₀sin(ωt))/dt

V(t) = LI₀ωcos(ωt)

Where cos(ωt) = sin(π/2 - ωt)

Then

V(t) = ωLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt) .....(3)

Because the voltage and current are out of phase with the phase difference of π/2 or 90°

The inductive reactance XL = ωL

Substitute ωL for XL in equation (3)

Therefore, the voltage across inductor is can be expressed as;

V(t) = XLI₀sin(π/2 - ωt)
