Explanation:

Just in time inventory is a system of managing inventory. It is a method to reduce waste, lower cost and increase profit. According to it the raw material orders are directly aligned with the production schedules. In simple words every component of a unit is arriving just in time to be used.

So JIT would be advocated to reduce inventory.

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

$tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}$

$tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}$

$tan\phi= 0.05797$

For small angle of $\phi$ , $tan\phi$ can take as $\phi$ .

$\phi = 0.05797 rad.$

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat- regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters th

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

flow(m) = 54.45 kg/s

thermal efficiency u = 44.48%

Explanation:

Given:

- P_1 = P_8 = 10 KPa

- P_2 = P_3 = P_6 = P_7 = 800 KPa

- P_4 = P_5 = 10,000 KPa

- T_5 = 550 C

- T_7 = 500 C

- Power Output P = 80 MW

Find:

- The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Solution:

State 1:

P_1 = 10 KPa , saturated liquid

h_1 = 192 KJ/kg

v_1 = 0.00101 m^3 / kg

State 2:

P_2 = 800 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_2 = h_1 + v_1 * ( P_2 - P_1)

h_2 = 192 + 0.00101*(790) = 192.80 KJ/kg

State 3:

P_3 = 800 KPa , saturated liquid

h_3 = 721 KJ/kg

v_3 = 0.00111 m^3 / kg

State 4:

P_4 = 10,000 KPa , constant volume process work done:

h_4 = h_3 + v_3 * ( P_4 - P_3)

h_4 = 721 + 0.00111*(9200) = 731.21 KJ/kg

State 5:

P_5 = 10,000 KPa , T_5 = 550 C

h_5 = 3500 KJ/kg

s_5 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

State 6:

P_6 = 800 KPa , s_5 = s_6 = 6.760 KJ/kgK

h_6 = 2810 KJ/kg

State 7:

P_7 = 800 KPa , T_7 = 500 C

h_7 = 3480 KJ/kg

s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

State 8:

P_8 = 10 KPa , s_8 = s_7 = 7.870 KJ/kgK

h_8 = 2490 KJ/kg

- Fraction of steam y = flow(m_6 / m_3).

- Use energy balance of steam bleed and cold feed-water:

E_6 + E_2 = E_3

flow(m_6)*h_6 + flow(m_2)*h_3 = flow(m_3)*h_3

y*h_6 + (1-y)*h_3 = h_3

y*2810 + (1-y)*192.8 = 721

Compute y: y = 0.2018

- Heat produced by the boiler q_b:

q_b = h_5 - h_4 +(1-y)*(h_7 - h_8)

q_b = 3500 -731.21 + ( 1 - 0.2018)*(3480 - 2810)

Compute q_b: q_b = 3303.58 KJ/ kg

-Heat dissipated by the condenser q_c:

q_c = (1-y)*(h_8 - h_1)

q_c= ( 1 + 0.2018)*(2810 - 192)

Compute q_c: q_c = 1834.26 KJ/ kg

- Net power output w_net:

w_net = q_b - q_c

w_net = 3303.58 - 1834.26

w_net = 1469.32 KJ/kg

- Given out put P = 80,000 KW

flow(m) = P / w_net

compute flow(m) flow(m) = 80,000 /1469.32 = 54.45 kg/s

- Thermal efficiency u:

u = 1 - (q_c / q_b)

u = 1 - (1834.26/3303.58)

u = 44.48 %

The product life cycle defines the stages that new products move through as they enter, are established in, and ultimately leave

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The four marketing mix of every new business are:

1. Product

2. Place

3. Price

4. Promotion

For each of the stages of product life cycle, those 4p should be use appropriately.

Explanation:

The four marketing mix of every new business are:

1. Product

2. Place

3. Price

4. Promotion

the product life cycle are directly proportional to the 4p of marketing. the product life cycle stages are introduction, growth, maturity and decline.

For each of the stages of product life cycle, those 4p should be use appropriately.

Stages of product life cycle and how the 4p fit into it.

The introduction stage:

at this stage, a new product just want to be introduced to the consumers. the product stage has being developed. The place where the product will fit in will also be consider. the location of people who consume this product. Pricing strategy consider a low price at the introduction stage, the business owner may not get any profit at this stage. then, continuous advertisement to create awareness of the product to the environment.

The growth stage:

the product will continuing to be move to different locations. the standard of the product quality will be maintained. the Pricing will start increasing. then, continuous advertisement to create awareness of the product and working on improving the product to suit the consumer.

the Mature stage:

At this stage, the consumer are fully aware of the product. wide range of location are reach. the pricing has reach its peak. Profit have been maximized. And, competitors of the product are in the market. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) will be the promotional value at this stage.

The Declining stage:

The business product have fully grown to its peak, and its only constant promotional values like CSR, advertisement, bonuses, can sustain it in the market. At this stage also, price comparison with other competitor should be carefully look into.

Air flows through a convergent-divergent duct with an inlet area of 5 cm² and an exit area of 3.8 cm². At the inlet section, the

Luda [366]

Answer:

The mass flow rate is 0.27 kg/s

The exit velocity is 76.1 m/s

The exit pressure is 695 KPa

Explanation:

Assuming the flow to be steady state and the behavior of air as an ideal gas.

The mass flow rate of the air is given as:

Mass Flow Rate = ρ x A1 x V1

where,

ρ = density of air

A1 = inlet area = 3.8 cm² = 3.8 x 10^-4 m²

V1 = inlet velocity = 100 m/s

For density using general gas equation:

PV = nRT

PV = (m/M)RT

PM/RT = ρ

ρ = (680000 N/m²)(0.02897 kg/mol)/(8.314 J/mol.k)(60 + 273)k

ρ = 7.11 kg/m³

Therefore,

Mass Flow Rate = (7.11 kg/m³)(3.8 x 10^-4 m²)(100 m/s)

Mass Flow Rate = 0.27 kg/s = 270 g/s

Now, for steady flow, the mass flow rate remains constant throughout the flow. Hence, flow rate at inlet will be equal to the flow rate at outlet:

Mass Flow Rate = ρ x A2 x V2

where,

ρ = density of air = 7.11 kg/m³ (Assuming in-compressible flow)

A2 = exit area = 5 cm² = 5 x 10^-4 m²

V2 = exit velocity = ?

Therefore:

0.27 kg/s = (7.11 kg/m³)(5 x 10^-4 m²) V2

V2 = 76.1 m/s

Now, for exit pressure, we use Bernoulli's equation between inlet and exit, using subscript 1 for inlet and 2 for exit:

P1 + (1/2) ρ V1² + ρ g h1 = P2 + (1/2) ρ V2² + ρ g h2

Since, both inlet and exit are at same temperature.

Therefore, h1 = h2, and those terms will cancel out.

P1 + (1/2) ρ V1² = P2 + (1/2) ρ V2²

P2 = P1 + (1/2) ρ V1² - (1/2) ρ V2²

P2 = P1 + (1/2) ρ (V1² - V2²)

P2 = 680000 Pa + (0.5)(7.11 kg/m³)[(100m/s)² - (76.1 m/s)²]

P2 = 680000 Pa + 14962.25 Pa

P2 = 694962.25 Pa = 695 KPa
