Answer:

$5.184

Explanation:

The cost can be calculated using the formula: $Cost = Load \ factor \times Number \ of \ hours \ \\M_{month} = M_{units} \times W\\$

Before using this, we require the following conversions:

<em>320 W → kW:</em>

$\frac {320}{1000} = 0.32$

<em>30 Days → Hours:</em>

$30 \times 24 = 720$

Using the above stated formula:

$M_{month} = 0.09 \times 0.32 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 720 = 5.184$

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

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:

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

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

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Someone has suggested that the air-standard Otto cycle is more accurate if the two polytropic processes are replaced with isentr

omeli [17]

Answer:

q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

n = 0.481

Explanation:

Given:

- The compression ratio r = 8

- The pressure at state 1, P_1 = 95 KPa

- The minimum temperature at state 1, T_L = 15 C

- The maximum temperature T_H = 900 C

- Poly tropic index n = 1.3

Find:

a) Determine the heat transferred to and rejected from this cycle

b) cycle’s thermal efficiency

Solution:

- For process 1-2, heat is rejected to sink throughout. The Amount of heat rejected q_1,2, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

W_out - Q_out = Δ u_1,2

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

c_v*(T_2 - T_L) = R*(T_2 - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

c_v*(T_L*r^(n-1) - T_L) = R*(T_1*r^(n-1) - T_L)/n-1 - q_1,2

- Hence, we have:

q_1,2 = T_L *(r^(n-1) - 1)* ( (R/n-1) - c_v)

- Plug in the values:

q_1,2 = 288 *(8^(1.3-1) - 1)* ( (0.287/1.3-1) - 0.718)

q_1,2= 60 KJ/kg

- For process 2-3, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

Q_in = Δ u_2,3

q_2,3 = u_3 - u_2

q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_2)

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_2 = T_L*r^(n-1):

q_2,3 = c_v*(T_H - T_L*r^(n-1) )

q_2,3 = 0.718*(1173-288*8(1.3-1) )

q_2,3 = 456 KJ/kg

- For process 3-4, heat is transferred into the system. The Amount of heat added q_2,3, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

q_3,4 - w_in = Δ u_3,4

- Assuming air to be an ideal gas, and the poly-tropic compression process is isentropic:

c_v*(T_4 - T_H) = - R*(T_4 - T_H)/1-n + q_3,4

- Using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H) = -R*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_H)/n-1 + q_3,4

- Hence, we have:

q_3,4 = T_H *(r^(1-n) - 1)* ( (R/1-n) + c_v)

- Plug in the values:

q_3,4 = 1173 *(8^(1-1.3) - 1)* ( (0.287/1-1.3) - 0.718)

q_3,4= 129.8 KJ/kg

- For process 4-1, heat is lost from the system. The Amount of heat rejected q_4,1, can be computed by performing a Energy balance as follows:

Q_out = Δ u_4,1

q_4,1 = u_4 - u_1

q_4,1 = c_v*(T_4 - T_L)

- Again, using polytropic relation we will convert T_4 = T_H*r^(1-n):

q_4,1 = c_v*(T_H*r^(1-n) - T_L )

q_4,1 = 0.718*(1173*8^(1-1.3) - 288 )

q_4,1 = 244 KJ/kg

- The net gain in heat can be determined from process q_3,4 & q_2,3:

q_net,in = q_3,4+q_2,3

q_net,in = 129.8+456

q_net,in = 585.8 KJ/kg

- The net loss of heat can be determined from process q_1,2 & q_4,1:

q_net,out = q_4,1+q_1,2

q_net,out = 244+60

q_net,out = 304 KJ/kg

- The thermal Efficiency of a Otto Cycle can be calculated:

n = 1 - q_net,out / q_net,in

n = 1 - 304/585.8

n = 0.481

- Viscoelastic stress relaxation

My name is Ann [436]

Explanation:

The correct answers to the fill in the blanks would be;

1. Viscoelastic stress relaxation refers to scenarios for which the stress applied to a polymer must decay over time in order to maintain a constant strain. Otherwise, over time, the polymer chains will slip and slide past one another in response to a constant applied load and the strain will increase (in magnitude).

2. Viscoelastic creep refers to scenarios for which a polymer will permanently flow over time in response a constant applied stress.

The polymer whose properties have been mentioned above is commonly known as Kevlar.

It is mostly used in high-strength fabrics and its properties are because of several hydrogen bonds between polymer molecules.
