Given Information:

Static Pressure = P = 1 atm

Temperature = T = 70°F

Velocity = v = 150 mi/hr

Required formation:

Pressure of Pilot Tube = P₀ = ?

Answer:

Pressure of Pilot Tube = P₀ = 2172.36 lb/ft²

Solution:

Units Conversion:

(1 atm = 2116.22 lb/ ft²)

Static Pressure = P = 1 atm = 2116.22 lb/ft²

(1° F = 459.67° R)

Temperature = T = 70°F = 70 + 459.67 = 529.67° R

( 1mi/hr = 1.467 ft/sec)

Velocity = v = 150 mi/hr = 220 ft/sec

Density of Test Section

Density = ρ = P/RT

Where R is the idea gas constant 1717 (ft-lbf/slug-°R)

ρ = 2116.22/1717*529.67 = 0.00232 slug/ft³

Pressure of Pilot Tube

P₀ = P + (1/2)*ρ*v²

P₀ = 2116.22 + (1/2)*0.00232*220²

P₀ = 2172.36 lb/ft²

Answer:

a) $Q_H=16.4kW$

b) $w=5.467$

c) $w=1.2345$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Interior temperature $TH = 20 °C$

outside temperature is $TC = 2 °C$

Rate $H=16.4kW$

a)

Generally electric resistance heating is the heat transfer from interior building

Therefore

$Q_H=R$

$Q_H=16.4kW$

b)

COP =3

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

$COP=\frac{Q_H}{w}$

Therefore

$w=\frac{Q_H}{COP}$

$w=16.4/3$

$w=5.467$

c)

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

$COP_r=\frac{TH}{TH-TC}$

$COP_r=\frac{20+273}{(20+273)-(2+273)}$

$COP_r=16.2$

Therefore

$w=1.2345$

$w=20/16.2$

$w=1.2345$

Atmospheric pressure is measured to be 14.769 psia. a. What would be the equivalent reading of a water barometer (inches of H20)

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) water height =408.66 in.

(b) mercury height=30.04 in.

Explanation:

Given: P=14.769 psi ( 1 psi= 6894.76 $\frac{N}{m^2}$ )

we know that $P=\rho\times g\timesh$

where $\rho =Density,g=9.81\frac{m}{s^2}$

h=height.

Given that P=14.769 psi ⇒P= 101828.6 7 $\dfrac{N}{m^2}$

(a) $P=\rho_{w}\times g\times h_{w}$

$\rho_{w}=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}$

⇒101828.67= $1000\times 9.81\times h_{w}$

$h_{w}$ =10.38 m

So water barometer will read 408.66 in. (1 m=39.37 in)

(b) $P=\rho_{hg}\times g\times h_{hg}$

$\rho_{hg}$ =13600

So 101828.67= $13600\times 9.81\times h_{hg}$

$h_{hg}$ =0.763 m

So mercury barometer will read 30.04 in.
