Answer:

An opto-isolator contains a source (emitter) of light, almost always a near infrared light-emitting diode (LED), that converts electrical input signal into light, a closed optical channel (also called dielectrical channel), and a photosensor, which detects incoming light and either generates electric energy directly,

Answer:

b. equal to the specific entropy of the gas at the inlet.

Explanation:

Isentropic process is the process in which the entropy of the system remains unchanged. The word isentropic is formed from the combination of the prefix "iso" which means "equal" and the word entropy.

If a process is completely reversible, without the need to provide energy in the form of heat, then the process is isentropic.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a two sample t-test and not a matched pair t-test

null hypothesis(H0) will be that mean energy consumed by copper rotor motors is greater than or equal to mean energy consumed by aluminium rotor motors

alternate hypothesis(H1) will be that mean energy consumed by copper rotor motors is less than or equal to mean energy consumed by aluminium rotor motors.

So, option D is rejected

The hypothesis will not compare mean of differences of values of energy consumed by copper rotor motor and aluminium rotor motor.

Option A and C are also rejected

Explanation:

Science is the body of knowledge that explores the physical and natural world. Engineering is the application of knowledge in order to design, build and maintain a product or a process that solves a problem and fulfills a need (i.e. a technology).

A counter-flow double-piped heat exchange is to heat water from 20oC to 80oC at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accompl

lawyer [7]

Answer:

110 m or 11,000 cm

Explanation:

let mass flow rate for cold and hot fluid = Mc and Mh respectively
let specific heat for cold and hot fluid = Cpc and Cph respectively
let heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid = Cc and Ch respectively

Mc = 1.2 kg/s and Mh = 2 kg/s

Cpc = 4.18 kj/kg °c and Cph = 4.31 kj/kg °c

Using effectiveness-NUT method

First, we need to determine heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid, and determine the dimensionless heat capacity rate

Cc = Mc × Cpc = 1.2 kg/s × 4.18 kj/kg °c = 5.016 kW/°c

Ch = Mh × Cph = 2 kg/s × 4.31 kj/kg °c = 8.62 kW/°c

From the result above cold fluid heat capacity rate is smaller

Dimensionless heat capacity rate, C = minimum capacity/maximum capacity

C= Cmin/Cmax

C = 5.016/8.62 = 0.582

.2 Second, we determine the maximum heat transfer rate, Qmax

Qmax = Cmin (Inlet Temp. of hot fluid - Inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Qmax = (5.016 kW/°c)(160 - 20) °c

Qmax = (5.016 kW/°c)(140) °c = 702.24 kW

.3 Third, we determine the actual heat transfer rate, Q

Q = Cmin (outlet Temp. of cold fluid - inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Q = (5.016 kW/°c)(80 - 20) °c

Qmax = (5.016 kW/°c)(60) °c = 303.66 kW

.4 Fourth, we determine Effectiveness of the heat exchanger, ε

ε = Q/Qmax

ε = 303.66 kW/702.24 kW

ε = 0.432

.5 Fifth, using appropriate effective relation for double pipe counter flow to determine NTU for the heat exchanger

NTU = $\\ \frac{1}{C-1} ln(\frac{ε-1}{εc -1} )$

NTU = $\frac{1}{0.582-1} ln(\frac{0.432 -1}{0.432 X 0.582 -1} )$

NTU = 0.661

.6 sixth, we determine Heat Exchanger surface area, As

From the question, the overall heat transfer coefficient U = 640 W/m²

As = $\frac{NTU C{min} }{U}$

As = $\frac{0.661 x 5016 W. °c }{640 W/m²}$

As = 5.18 m²

.7 Finally, we determine the length of the heat exchanger, L

L = $\frac{As}{\pi D}$

L = $\frac{5.18 m² }{\pi (0.015 m)}$

L= 109.91 m

L ≅ 110 m = 11,000 cm
