A 25 lb sacrificial Mg anode is attached to the steel hull of a container ship. If the anode completely corrodes within 3 months

, what is the average current produced by the anode?

Answer:

The average current will be of 6.36 A.

Explanation:

The anode capacity of magnesium is C = 550 A*h/lb

A month has 30 days.

A day has 24 hours.

Therefore 3 months have:

t = 3 * 30 * 24 = 2160 hours.

The average current is then:

I = C * m / t

I = 550 * 25 / 2160 = 6.36 A

The average current will be of 6.36 A.

Talja [164]

Answer:

$95.914\ \text{GJ}$

$\$272.78$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 749511.5 kg

c = Specific heat of water = 4182 J/kg ⋅°C

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = $80.6-50=30.6^{\circ}\text{F}$

Cost of 1 GJ of energy = $2.844

Heat required is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=749511.5\times 4182\times 30.6\\\Rightarrow Q=95.914\times 10^9\ \text{J}=95.914\ \text{GJ}$

Amount of heat required to heat the water is $95.914\ \text{GJ}$ .

Cost of heating the water is

$95.914\times 2.844=\$272.78$

Cost of heating the water to the required temperature is $\$272.78$ .

The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

T = 5416.67 N

T = -2083.5 N

T = 0

Explanation:

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.

part a

Flight speed u = ( 150 km / h ) / 3.6 = 41.67 km / s

The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:

$T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (150 - 41.67)\\\\T = 5416.67 N$

Answer: The thrust force T = 5416.67 N

part b

Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust equation is:

$T = flow(m_{exhaust})*(u_{exhaust} - u_{flight} )\\T = (50 kg/s ) * (0 - 41.67)\\\\T = -2083.5 N$

Answer: The thrust force T = -2083.5 N reverse direction

part c

Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero as there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.

Answer: T = 0 N

1.8 A water flow of 4.5 slug/s at 60 F enters the condenser of steam turbine and leaves at 140 F. Determine the heat transfer ra

Ann [662]

Answer:

$Hr=4.2*10^7\ btu/hr$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Water flow Rate $R=4.5slug/s=144.78ib/sec$

Initial Temperature $T_1=60 \textdegree F$

Final Temperature $T_2=140 \textdegree F$

Let

Specific heat of water $\gamma= 1$

And

$\triangle T= 140-60$

$\triangle T= 80\ Deg.F$

Generally the equation for Heat transfer rate of water $H_r$ is mathematically given by

Heat transfer rate to water= mass flow rate* specific heat* change in temperature

$H_r=R* \gamma*\triangle T$

$H_r=144.78*80*1$

$H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec$

Therefore

$H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec*3600$

$Hr=4.2*10^7\ btu/hr$
