An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. The cost Y in dollars per hour to produce el

ectricity is Y = 12+ .3x+.27x2, where x is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 15x-.2x2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit.

Answer:

15.64 MW

Explanation:

The computation of value of X that gives maximum profit is shown below:-

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= 15x - 0.2x 2 - 12 - 0.3x - 0.27x 2

= 14.7x - .47x^2 - 12

After solving the above equation we will get maximum differentiate  for profit that is

14.7 - 0.94x = 0

So,

x = 15.64 MW

Therefore for computing the value of X that gives maximum profit we simply solve the above equation.

Explain what a margin of safety is in driving as well as how it can help minimize risk.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant

Explanation:

A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down

Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way

1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication

2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted

3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system

4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc

5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle

1. Which of the following will cause a spark knock?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

I couldn't find options for your question online, but I can give you an explanation so you can choose the correct option.

Explanation:

A spark knock is a form of unpredictable behavior that occurs in combustion, that is, in the chemical reaction that occurs between oxygen and an oxidizable material. Such combustion is usually manifested by incandescence or flame.

The spark knock is a detonation that occurs when there is a lot of pressure in the fuel.

<u>Some situations in which this can happen are: </u>

  • Engine overloaded.
  • Maximum pressure in the cylinders.
  • Engine overheated.
  • Overheated air.
  • Long and excessive engine ignition timing.
  • Spark plug at high temperatures.

5) Calculate the LMC wal thickness of a pipe and tubing with OD as 35 + .05 and ID as 25 + .05 A) 4.95 B) 5.05 C) 10 D) 15.025
padilas [110]

Answer:

B) 5.05

Explanation:

The wall thickness of a pipe is the difference between the diameter of outer wall and the diameter of inner wall divided by 2. It is given by:

Thickness of pipe = (Outer wall diameter - Inner wall diameter) / 2

Given that:

Inner diameter = ID = 25 ± 0.05, Outer diameter = OD = 35 ± 0.05

Maximum outer diameter = 35 + 0.05 = 35.05

Minimum inner diameter = 25 - 0.05 = 24.95

Thickness of pipe = (maximum outer wall diameter - minimum inner wall diameter) / 2 = (35.05 - 24.95) / 2 = 5.05

or

Thickness = (35 - 25) / 2 + 0.05 = 10/2 + 0.05 = 5 + 0.05 = 5.05

Therefore the LMC wall thickness is 5.05

The hot and cold inlet temperatures to a concentric tube heat exchanger are Th,i = 200°C, Tc,i = 100°C, respectively. The outlet
alexgriva [62]

Answer:Counter,

0.799,

1.921

Explanation:

Given data

T_{h_i}=200^{\circ}C

T_{h_o}=120^{\circ}C

T_{c_i}=100^{\circ}C

T_{c_o}=125^{\circ}C

Since outlet temperature of cold liquid is greater than hot fluid outlet temperature therefore it is counter flow heat exchanger

Equating Heat exchange

m_hc_{ph}\left [ T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right ]=m_cc_{pc}\left [ T_{c_o}-T_{c_i}\right ]

\frac{m_hc_{ph}}{m_cc_{pc}}=\frac{125-100}{200-120}=\frac{25}{80}=C\left ( capacity rate ratio\right )

we can see that heat capacity of hot fluid is minimum

Also from energy balance

Q=UA\Delta T_m=\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )

NTU=\frac{UA}{\left ( mc_p\right )_{h}}=\frac{\left ( T_{h_i}-T_{h_o}\right )}{T_m}

T_m=\frac{\left ( 200-125\right )-\left ( 120-100\right )}{\ln \frac{75}{20}}

T_m=41.63^{\circ}C

NTU=1.921

And\ effectiveness \epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}{1-c\left ( -NTU\left ( 1-c\right )\right )}

\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.921\left ( 1-0.3125\right )\right )}

\epsilon =\frac{1-exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}{1-0.3125exp\left ( -1.32068\right )}

\epsilon =\frac{1-0.2669}{1-0.0834}

\epsilon =0.799
