4 0

Solution:

Given:

pressure ratio, r_{p} = 6.75

Formula used:

\eta = \frac{(r_{p})^{\frac{\gamma -1}{\gamma}}-1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}}\\

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{r_{p}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma }}}         (1)

where,

r_{p} = pressure ratio

γ = specific heat ratio of a gas( here, helium gas it is 1.667)

Now,

Eqn (1 ) is for thermal efficiency of an ideal gas, using eqn (1), we get

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{6.75^{\frac{\ 1.667-1}{\ 1.667 }}}

\eta = 1- \frac{1}{2.1469} = 0.5342

percentage thermal efficiency, \eta =53.42%

Voltage drop testing is being discussed.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Voltage drop testing is a method used to find the amount of electrical resistance available in an high amperage circuit that involves connecting the leads of the meter in parallel to the circuits being tested such that disassembly is not required

In voltage drop test, the red voltmeter lead and black voltmeter lead are placed at two points on the same side of the circuit connection such that the leads are in between two positive connection or two negative connection (rather than connecting the red to the positive and the black to the negative sides of the circuit) and digital voltmeter is used for the voltage drop measurement across the lead while the connection is under load.

Therefore, Technician B only is correct

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

38 kJ

Explanation:

The solution is obtained using the energy balance:  

ΔE=E_in-E_out

U_2-U_1=Q_in+W_in-Q_out

U_2=U_1+Q_in+W_in-Q_out

      =38 kJ

A circular bar will be subjected to an axial force (P) of 2000 lbf. The bar will be made of material that has a strength (S) of
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

n = 2.36

Explanation:

The stress experimented by the circular bar is:

\sigma = \left[\frac{2000\, lbf}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.5\,in)^{2}}\right]\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kpsi}{1000\,psi} \right)

\sigma = 10.186\,kpsi

The safety factor is:

n = \frac{24\,kpsi}{10.186\,kpsi}

n = 2.36
