Answer: $17,206.13

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:  

Annual electricity cost = (P x 0.746 x Ckwh x h) /η  

P = compressor power = 78 hp  

0.746 kw/hp= constant (conversion to kw)

Ckwh = Cost per kilowatt hour = $0.11/kWh  

h = operating hours per year = 2500 h  

η = efficiency = 93% = 0.93 (decimal form)  

Replacing with the values given :  

C = ( 78 hp x 0.746 kw/hp x 0.11 $/kwh x 2500 h ) / 0.93 = $17,206.13

If gain of the critically damped system is increased, the system will behave as a) Under damped b) Over damped c) Critically dam
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) Under damped

Explanation:

Given that system is critically damped .And we have to find out the condition when gain is increased.

As we know that damping ratio given as follows

\zeta =\dfrac{C}{C_c}

Where C is the damping coefficient and Cc is the critical damping coefficient.

C_c=2\sqrt{mK}

So from above we can say that

\zeta =\dfrac{C}{2\sqrt{mK}}

\zeta \alpha \dfrac{1}{\sqrt K}

From above relationship we can say when gain (K) is increases then system will become under damped system.

A solid shaft is subjected to an axial load P = 200 kN and a torque T = 1.5 kN.m. a) Determine the diameter of the shaft if the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>a) 42 mm</em>

<em>b) 144.4 MPa</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Load P = 200 kN = 200 x 10^3 N

Torque T = 1.5 kN-m = 1.5 x 10^3 N-m

maximum shear stress τ = 100 Mpa = 100 x 10^6 Pa

diameter of shaft d = ?

From T = τ * \frac{\pi }{16} * d^{3}

substituting values, we have

1.5 x 10^3 = 100 x 10^6 x \frac{3.142 }{16} x d^{3}

d^{3} = 7.638 x 10^-5

d = \sqrt[3]{7.638 * 10^-5} = 0.042 m = <em>42 mm</em>

b) Normal stress = P/A

where A is the area

A = \frac{\pi d^{2} }{4} = \frac{3.142*0.042^{2} }{4} = 1.385 x 10^-3

Normal stress = (200 x 10^3)/(1.385 x 10^-3) = 144.4 x 10^6 Pa = <em>144.4 MPa</em>

An automotive Battery is rated at120 A-h. This means that under certain test conditions, it canoutput 1 A at 12 V for 120 hours.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Part A:

In W-h:

Energy Stored=1440 W-h

In Joules:

Energy Stored=5.184*10^6Joules\\Energy Stored=5.184 MJ

Part B:

In W-h:

Energy left=240 W-h

In Joules:

Energy left= 8.64*10^5 J

Explanation:

Part A:

We are given rating 120A-h and voltage 12 V

Energy Stored= Rating*Voltage              (Gives us units W-h)

Energy Stored=120A-h*12V

Energy Stored=1440 W-h

Converting it into joules (watt=joules/sec)

Energy Stored=1440 Joules * \frac{3600sec}{h}h

Energy Stored=5184000 Joules

Energy Stored=5.184*10^6Joules\\Energy Stored=5.184 MJ

Part B:

Energy used by lights for 8h=150*8

Energy used by lights for 8h=1200W-h

Energy left= Energy Stored(Calculated above)- Energy used by lights for 8h

Energy left=1440-1200

Energy left=240 W-h

Energy left=240 Joules * \frac{3600sec}{h}h

Energy left=864000 Joules

Energy left= 8.64*10^5 J
