Air at atmospheric pressure and at 300K flows with a velocity of 1.5m/s over a flat plate. The transition from laminar to turbul

ent flow is assumed to take place at a Reynolds number of 5x10'. Determine the distance from the leading edge of the plate at which transition occurs.

Answer:3.47 m

Explanation:

Given

Temperature(T)=300 K

velocity(v)=1.5 m/s

At 300 K

$\mu =1.846 \times 10^{-5} Pa-s$

$\rho =1.77 kg/m^3$

And reynold's number is given by

$Re.=\frac{\rho v\time x}{\mu }$

$5\times 10^5=\frac{1.77\times 1.5\times x}{1.846\times 10^{-5}}$

$x=\frac{5\times 10^5\times 1.846\times 10^{-5}}{1.77\times 1.5}$

x=3.47 m

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

$Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}$

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 101.42\,kPa$

$T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.123$

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 476.16\,kPa$

$T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.525$

The mass stored in the vessel is:

$m = \frac{V}{\nu}$

$m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m = 0.048\,kg$

The heat transfer require to the process is:

$Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})$

$Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

The diameter of an extruder barrel = 85 mm and its length = 2.00 m. The screw rotates at 55 rev/min, its channel depth = 8.0 mm,

babunello [35]

Answer:

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 85 mm

length = 2 m

depth = 9mm

N = 60 rev/min

pressure p = 11 × $10^6$ Pa

viscosity n = 100 Pas

angle = 18°

so Qd will be

Qd = 0.5 × π² ×D²×dc × sinA × cosA ..............1

put here value and we get

Qd = 0.5 × π² × ( 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ )²× 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ × sin18 × cos18

Qd = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

and

Qb = p × π × D × dc³ × sin²A ÷ 12 × n × L ............2

Qb = 11 × $10^{6}$ × π × 85 $\times 10^{-3}$ × ( 9 $\times 10^{-3}$ )³ × sin²18 ÷ 12 × 100 × 2

Qb = 85.2 × $10^{-6}$ m³/s

so here

volume flow rate Qx = Qd - Qb ..............3

Qx = 94.305 × $10^{-6}$ - 85.2 × $10^{-6}$

Qx = 9.10 $9.10^5 \times 10^{-6}$ m³/s

Consider a 2-shell-passes and 8-tube-passes shell-and-tube heat exchanger. What is the primary reason for using many tube passes

Maru [420]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.

- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.

- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.

- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.

- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:

U ∝ v^( 0.8 ) .... ( turbulence )

- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.

Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).

Does a thicker core make an electromagnet stronger?

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!
