Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

η = net work done / heat input

While heat rate is the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Find the Rectangular form of the following phasors?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The angles are missing in the question.

The angles are :

45, 30, 60, 90, -34, -56, 20, -42, -65, -15

P=10, P=5, P=25, P=54, P=65, P=95, P=250, P=8, P=35, P=150

Explanation:

1. P = 10, θ = 45° rectangular coordinates

x = r cosθ , y = r sinθ

So, rectangular form is x + iy

x = P cosθ = 10 cos 45°

= 7.07

y =P sinθ = 10 sin 45°

= 7.07

Therefore, rectangular form

x + iy = 7.07 + i (7.07)

2. P = 5 , θ = 30°

x = 5 cos 30° = 4.33

y = 5 sin 30° = 2.5

So, (x+iy) = 4.33 + i (2.5)

3. P = 25 , θ = 60°

x = 25 cos 60° = 12.5

y = 25 sin 60° = 21.65

So, (x+iy) = 12.5 + i (21.65)

4. P = 54 , θ = 90°

x = 54 cos 90° = 0

y = 54 sin 90° = 54

So, (x+iy) = 0+ i (54)

5. P = 65 , θ = -34°

x = 65 cos (-34°) = 53.88

y = 65 sin (-34°) = -36.34

So, (x+iy) = 53.88 - i (36.34)

6. P = 95 , θ = -56°

x = 95 cos (-56)° = 53.12

y = 95 sin (-56)° = -78.75

So, (x+iy) = 53.12 - i (78.75)

7. P = 250 , θ = 20°

x = 250 cos 20° = 234.92

y = 250 sin 20° = 85.5

So, (x+iy) = 234.92 + i (85.5)

8. P = 8 , θ = (-42)°

x = 8 cos (-42)° = 5.94

y = 8 sin (-42)° = -5.353

So, (x+iy) = 5.94 - i (5.353)

9. P = 35 , θ = (-65)°

x = 35 cos (-65)° = 14.79

y = 35 sin (-65)° = -31.72

So, (x+iy) = 14.79 - i (31.72)

10. P = 150 , θ = (-15)°

x = 150 cos (-15)° = 144.88

y = 150 sin (-15)° = -38.82

So, (x+iy) = 144.88 - i (38.82)

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

$L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft$

$G_2$ is given as

$G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%$

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

$A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4$

A is given as

$-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%$

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

$E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\$

The station is given as

$St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\$

Low point is given as

$x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft$

The station of low point is given as

$St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\$

The elevation is given as

$E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft$

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
