The location of tests affect the performance of a catapult depending on the length of the arm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A ball from a catapult, will travel a longer distance by increasing the length of the arm. Using the catapult, if the arm is extended to different lengths the wooden ball how far it is thrown can be observed.

This shows that extending the arm length does increase the distance thrown. To shoot a far distance (example for sideways) you need to the pebble sideways and up. By doing this, it can travel a longer distance

In an apartment the interior air temperature is 20°C and exterior air temperatures is 5°C. The wall has inner and outer surface
ELEN [110]

Answer:

20 W/m², 20 W/m², -20 W/m²

Yes, the wall is under steady-state conditions.

Explanation:

Air temperature in room = 20°C

Air temperature outside = 5°C

Wall inner temperature = 16°C

Wall outer temperature = 6°C

Inner heat transfer coefficient = 5 W/m²K

Outer heat transfer coefficient = 20 W/m²K

Heat flux = Concerned heat transfer coefficient × (Difference of the temperatures of the concerned bodies)

q = hΔT

Heat flux from the interior air to the wall = heat transfer coefficient of interior air × (Temperature difference between interior air and exterior wall)

⇒ Heat flux from the interior air to the wall = 5 (20-6) = 20 W/m²

Heat flux from the wall to the exterior air = heat transfer coefficient of exterior air × (Temperature difference between wall and exterior air)

⇒Heat flux from the wall to the exterior air = 20 (6-5) = 20 W/m²

Heat flux from the wall to the interior air = heat transfer coefficient of interior air × (Temperature difference between wall and interior air)

⇒Heat flux from the wall and interior air = 5 (16-20) = -20 W/m²

Here the magnitude of the heat flux are same so the wall is under steady-state conditions.

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

Air at 400 kPa, 980 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occ
shusha [124]

Answer:

A)W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B)σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k

Explanation:

a).The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by the formula;

Q' - W' + m(h1 - h2) = 0

Dividing through by m, we have;

(Q'/m) - (W'/m) + (h1 - h2) = 0

Rearranging, we have;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + (h1 - h2)

Normally, this transforms to another equation;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + c_p(T1 - T2)

Where;

W'/m is the rate at which power is developed

Q'/m is the rate at which heat is flowing

c_p is specific heat at constant pressure which from tables at a temperature of 980k = 1.1 KJ/kg.k

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is exit temperature

We are given;

Q'/m = -30 kj/kg (negative because it leaves the turbine)

T1 = 980 k

T2 = 670 k

Plugging in the relevant values;

W'/m = -30 + 1.1(980 - 670)

W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B) The Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by the formula;

(Q'/T_boundary) + m(s1 - s2) + σ'_gen = 0

Dividing through by m gives;

((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s1 - s2) + σ'_gen/m = 0

Rearranging, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s2 - s1)

Under the conditions given in the question, this transforms normally to;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) - c_p•In(T2/T1) - R•In(p2/p1)

σ'_gen/m is the rate of entropy production in kj/kg

We are given;

p2 = 100 kpa

p1 = 400 kpa

T_boundary = 315 K

For an ideal gas, R = 0.287 KJ/kg.K

Plugging in the relevant values including the ones initially written in answer a above, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -(-30/315) - 1.1(In(670/980)) - 0.287(In(100/400))

σ'_gen/m = 0.0952 + 0.4183 + 0.3979

σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k
