Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10 m/s ² ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.

I would say 2-3 times but I’m not quite sure

Consider a steam turbine, with inflow at 500oC and 7.9 MPa. The machine has a total-to-static efficiency ofηts=0.91, and the pre

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: $\dot m_{in} = 23.942 \frac{kg}{s}$ , $\dot H_{out} = 39632.62 kW$

Explanation:

Since there is no information related to volume flow to and from turbine, let is assume that volume flow at inlet equals to $\dot V = 1 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$ . Turbine is a steady-flow system modelled by using Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics:

Principle of Mass Conservation

$\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = 0$

First Law of Thermodynamics

$- \dot W_{out} + \eta\cdot (\dot m_{in} \dot h_{in} - \dot m_{out} \dot h_{out}) = 0$

This 2 x 2 System can be reduced into one equation as follows:

$-\dot W_{out} + \eta \cdot \dot m \cdot ( h_{in}- h_{out})=0$

The water goes to the turbine as Superheated steam and goes out as saturated vapor or a liquid-vapor mix. Specific volume and specific enthalpy at inflow are required to determine specific enthalpy at outflow and mass flow rate, respectively. Property tables are a practical form to get information:

Inflow (Superheated Steam)

$\nu_{in} = 0.041767 \frac{m^{3}}{kg} \\h_{in} = 3399.5 \frac{kJ}{kg}$

The mass flow rate can be calculated by using this expression:

$\dot m_{in} =\frac{\dot V_{in}}{\nu_{in}}$

$\dot m_{in} = 23.942 \frac{kg}{s}$

Afterwards, the specific enthalpy at outflow is determined by isolating it from energy balance:

$h_{out} =h_{in}-\frac{\dot W_{out}}{\eta \cdot \dot m}$

$h_{out} = 1655.36 \frac{kJ}{kg}$

The enthalpy rate at outflow is:

$\dot H_{out} = \dot m \cdot h_{out}$

$\dot H_{out} = 39632.62 kW$

Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of electric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarter of t

Semenov [28]

Answer:

B. $5.18

Explanation:

Cost of electricity per kWh = $0.09

Power consumption of refrigerator = 320W = 320/1000 = 0.32kW

In a month (30 days) the refrigerator works 1/4 × 30 days = 7.5 days = 7.5 × 24 hours = 180 hours

Energy consumed in 180 hours = 0.32kW × 180h = 57.6kWh

Cost of electricity of 57.6kWh energy consumed by the refrigerator = 57.6 × $0.09 = $5.18
