Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are  73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

T_{BE}-W=0 hence

T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N

Therefore, tension in the cable, T_{BE}=196.2 N

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0

24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0

D_x=73.575 N

Similarly,

A_x-D_y=0

A_x=73.575 N

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N

An overhead 25m long, uninsulated industrial steam pipe of 100mm diameter is routed through a building whose walls and air are a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a) he rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

b) the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

Explanation:

a)

first we find the area

A = πdL

d is the diameter (0.1m) and L is the length (25m)

so

A = π ×  0.1 × 25

A = 7.85 m²

Now rate of heat loss through convection

qconv = hA(Ts -Ta)

h is the convective heat transfer coefficient (10 W/m²K), Ts is surface temperature (150°), Ta is temperature of air (25°)

so we substitute

qconv = 10 W/m²K × 7.85 m² × ( 150° - 25°)

qconv = 9817.477 J/s

Now heat lost through radiation

qrad = ∈Aα ( Ts⁴ - Ta⁴)

∈ is the emissivity (0.8), α is the boltzmann constant ( 5.67×10⁻⁸m⁻²K⁻⁴ ),

first we shall covert our temperatures from Celsius to kelvin scale

Ts is surface temperature (150 + 273K ), Ta is temperature of air (25 + 273K)

so we substitute

qrad = 0.8 × 7.854 × 5.67×10⁻⁸ × ( (423)⁴ - (298)⁴ )

qrad = 3.5625×10⁻⁷ × 2.413×10¹⁰

qrad = 8596.112 J/s

Now to get the total rate of heat loss through convection and radiation, we say

q = qconv + qrad

q = 9817.477 + 8596.112

q = 18413.588 J/s ≈ 18.413588 kW

Therefore the rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

b)

annual cost of heat lost rate

A = C × q/n × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

C is the cost of heat per MJ( $0.02/10⁶) n is broiler efficiency ( 0.9)

so we substitute

A = 0.02/10⁶  × 18413.588/0.9 × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

A = $12904.25

Therefore the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

In electric heaters, electrical energy is converted to potential energy. a)-True b)-false?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In electric heater electric energy is converted into heat energy. In heater wires are present which have resistance and current is flow in heater when we connect the heater to supply.

And we know that whenever current is flow in any resistance then heat is produced so in electric heaters electric energy is converted into heat energy

So this is a false statement

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per
kirill [66]

Solution :

Given :

$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_1$ = 3000 hours per year

$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_2$ = 2000 hours per year

The density, ρ = $1.25 \ kg/m^3$

The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = $(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$

                                                             $= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$

The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:

Power = $\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$

Regarding that $\dot m \propto V$. Then,

Power $ \propto V^3$ → Power = constant x $V^3$

Since, $\rho_a$ is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.

For the first site,

Power, $P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$

            $P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$

For the second site,

Power, $P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$

           $P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$
