Answer:

0.0297M^3/s

W=68.48kW

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem, we must first find all the thermodynamic properties at the input (state 1) and the compressor output (state 2), using the thermodynamic tables

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

state 1

X=quality=1

T=-26C

density 1=α1=5.27kg/m^3  

entalpy1=h1=234.7KJ/kg

state 2

T2=70

P2=8bar=800kPa

density 2=α2=31.91kg/m^3  

entalpy2=h2=306.9KJ/kg

Now to find the flow at the outlet of the compressor, we remember the continuity equation that states that the mass flow is equal to the input and output.

m1=m2

(Q1)(α1)=(Q2)(α2)

\frac{(Q1)(\alpha 1) }{\alpha 2} =Q2\\Q2=\frac{(0.18)(5.27) }{31.91} =0.0297M^3/s

the volumetric flow rate at the exit is 0.0297M^3/s

To find the power of the compressor we use the first law of thermodynamics that says that the energy that enters must be equal to the energy that comes out, in this order of ideas we have the following equation

W=m(h2-h1)

m=Qα

W=(0.18)(5.27)(306.9-234.7)

W=68.48kW

the compressor power is 68.48kW

An airliner is flying at 34,000 ft cruise altitude on a standard day. Calculate the pressure difference between the cabin and th
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

\Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given

Airline flying at 34,000 ft.

Cabin pressurized to an altitude 8,000 ft.

We know that at standard condition ,density of air

\rho =0.074\ lb/ft^3

We know that pressure difference    

ΔP=ρ g ΔZ

Here ΔZ=34,000-8,000  ft

        ΔZ=26,000 ft

g= 32.2\ ft/s^2

ΔP=0.074 x 32.2 x 26,000

\Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2

So pressure difference will be \Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2.

A residential heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 1.49 How much heating effect, in kJ/h, will result when 4 kW is supp
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

21.456 kJ/h

Explanation:

See the figure attached. In this case  

W_{cycle} = 4 kW

Q_{out} = \text{heating effect}

Coefficient of performance in heat pump is defined by

COP = \frac{Q_{out}}{W_{cycle}}

Q_{out} =COP*W_{cycle}

Q_{out} =1.49*4 \, W

Q_{out} = 5.96 \, W

Now it is necessary to change units, remember that Watt (W) is defined as J/s

Q_{out} = 5.96 \frac{J}{s} \frac{3600s}{1 h} \frac{1 kJ}{1000 J}

Q_{out} = 21.456 \frac{kJ}{h}

The time to failure for a gasket follows the Weibull distribution with ß = 2.0 and a characteristic life of 300 days. What is th
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

64.11% for 200 days.

t=67.74 days for R=95%.

t=97.2 days for R=90%.

Explanation:

Given that

β=2

Characteristics life(scale parameter α)=300 days

We know that Reliability function for Weibull distribution is given as follows

R(t)=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{\alpha}\right)^\beta}

Given that t= 200 days

R(200)=e^{-\left(\dfrac{200}{300}\right)^2}

R(200)=0.6411

So the reliability at 200 days 64.11%.

When R=95 %

0.95=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{300}\right)^2}

by solving above equation t=67.74 days

When R=90 %

0.90=e^{-\left(\dfrac{t}{300}\right)^2}

by solving above equation t=97.2 days
