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

6) A deep underground cavern Contains 980 cuft
Elza [17]

Answer:

15625 moles of methane is present in this gas  deposit

Explanation:

As we know,

PV = nRT

P = Pressure = 230 psia = 1585.79 kPA

V = Volume = 980 cuft = 27750.5 Liters

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant = 8.315

T = Temperature = 150°F = 338.706 Kelvin

Substituting the given values, we get -

1585.79 kPA * 27750.5 Liters = n * 8.315 * 338.706 Kelvin

n = (1585.79*27750.5)/(8.315 * 338.706) = 15625

A 50 mm diameter shaft is subjected to a static axial load of 160 kN. If the yield stress of the material is 350 MPa, the ultima
zvonat [6]

In order to develop this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to fatigue and compression effort and Goodman equation, i.e, an equation that can be used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a materia.

With the given data we can proceed to calculate the compression stress:

\sigma_c = \frac{P}{A}

\sigma_c = \frac{160*10^3}{\pi/4*0.05^2}

\sigma_c = 81.5MPa

Through Goodman's equations the combined effort by fatigue and compression is expressed as:

\frac{\sigma_a}{S_e}+\frac{\sigma_c}{\sigma_u}=\frac{1}{Fs}

Where,

\sigma_a=Fatigue limit for comined alternating and mean stress

S_e =Fatigue Limit

\sigma_c=Mean stress (due to static load)

\sigma_u = Ultimate tensile stress

Fs =Security Factor

We can replace the values and assume a security factor of 1, then

\frac{\sigma_a}{320}+\frac{81.5}{400}=\frac{1}{1}

Re-arrenge for \sigma_a

\sigma_a = 254.8Mpa

We know that the stress is representing as,

\sigma_a = \frac{M_c}{I}

Then,

Where M_c=Max Moment

I= Intertia

The inertia for this object is

I=\frac{\pi d^4}{64}

Then replacing and re-arrenge for M_c

M_c = \frac{\sigma_a*\pi*d^3}{32}

M_c = \frac{260.9*10^6*\pi*0.05^3}{32}

M_c = 3201.7N.m

Thereforethe moment that can be applied to this shaft so that fatigue does not occur is 3.2kNm

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a mine heardgear​
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

If there is a shaft with headgear, then mining can take place until that depth of the shaft. If it is accessed horizontal Adits, it can mine until the lowest Adit from upwards. If it is accessed decline, the development and mining can continue so long as economic exploitation is possible.

Explanation:

What are the disadvantages of mining headgear? They totally cut off your vision of anything above your head. They are hot, most of the time
