Refrigerant 134a enters a horizontal pipe operating at steady state at 40oC, 300 kPaand a velocity of 40 m/s. At the exit, the t

emperature is 50oC and the pressure is 240 kPa. The pipe diameter is 0.04 m. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/s, (b) the velocity at the exit, in m/s, and (c) the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings, in kW

Answer:

1. Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

2. Velocity = 52.2m/s

3. Rate = +6.82kW

Explanation:

Given

Refrigerant = R134a

Diameter, d = 0.04m

T1 = 40°C

P1 = 300kPa

V1 = 40m/s

T2 = 50°C

P2 = 240kPa

a.

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T1 and P1 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg

The specific volume of refrigerant R134a at T2 and P2 from Refrigerant table (A12) = v2 = 0.10562 m³/kg.

Mass flow rate is calculated as follows...

= AV/v

Where A = Area =πd²/4

V = velocity = ,40

v = v1 = 0.08089 m³/kg.

So. Mass flow rate= (π * 0.04²/4 * 40 ) / 0.0809

Mass flow rate = 0.621Kg/s

b.

Calculating Velocity at the exit.

This is given as;

m * v2 / A

0.621 * 0.10562 / (π * 0.04²/4)

= 52.2m/s

c. Calculating the rate of heat transfer between the pipe and its surroundings

From energy equation, we have.

Q -> m * [(h2 - h1) + ((,V2² - V1²)/2)]

Where h2 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

And h1 is the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T2 and P2

h2 = 244.47 Kj/Kg

Rate = the specific enthalpy for refrigerant at T1 and P1

h2 = 234.05 Kj/Kg

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) + (52.2² - 40²)/2]

Rate = 0.621[(234.05 - 244.47) +

562.42] --- Convert the kW

Rate = 0.621((244.47 - 234.05) +

562.42/1000)

Rate = +6.82kW

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct.

Explanation: A brake lathe is a special tool used to improve or work on the surface of brake pads it helps to smoothen the surface.

Brake lathe has been found to be very effective in removing rusts in rotors and unevenness in the brake pad surfaces in order to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the brake system of a vehicle. Hence, a brake lathe helps to make brake rotor surface as smooth as possible.

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength (\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa, Fracture strength

(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa

a) The critical length (L_c) is given by:

L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}}  \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.0-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s
shusha [124]

Answer:

The tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the ball, W = 150 N

length of the rope, r = 4 m

velocity of the ball, v = 5.6 m/s

When the ball passes through the lowest point, the tension on the rope is the sum of weight of the ball and centripetal force.

T = W + F

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

where;

m is the mass of the ball

m = W/g

m = 150 / 9.8 = 15.306 kg

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

F = (15.306 x 5.6²)/4

F = 120 N

T = W + F

T = 150 + 120

T = 270 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N
