Answer:

Scientists observe the world, while engineers focus on creating. While both fields do involve observation and analysis, engineering mainly deals with creating and working on already existing creations, while scientists work with things in nature.

Estimate the maximum expected thermal conductivity for a Cermet that contains 58 vol% titanium carbide (TiC) particles in a coba

Alik [6]

Answer:

The right answer is "36.32 W/mk".

Explanation:

According to the question,

TiC = 76%

or,

= 0.76

CO = 24%

or,

= 0.24

Thermal conductivity of TiC,

= 26 W/mk

Thermal conductivity of CO,

= 69 W/mk

On applying the rule, we get

⇒ $"K" \ of \ Cermet=(K)_{TiC} (V_f)_{TiC}+(K)_{CO} (V_m)_{CO}$

On putting the given values, we get

⇒ $=(26)(0.76)+(69)(0.24)$

⇒ $=19.76+16.56$

⇒ $=36.32 \ W/mk$

A commuter train traveling at 50 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 15 mi/h when it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

a) $t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$ , b) $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , c) $a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The deceleration experimented by the commuter train in the first 2.5 miles is:

$a=\frac{[(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}-[(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (2.5\,mi)\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )}$

$a = -0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The time required to travel is:

$t = \frac{(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{-0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$

b) The commuter train must stop when it reaches the station to receive passengers. Hence, speed of train must be $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ .

c) The final constant deceleration is:

$a = \frac{(0\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{(2.875\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )}$

$a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

A 400-m^3 storage tank is being constructed to hold LNG, liquefied natural gas, which may be assumed to be essentially pure meth

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg

quality: 0.005048662

Explanation:

Volume occupied by liquid:

400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3

Volume occupied by vapor

400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3

A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present

For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg

From specific volume definition:

vf = liquid volume/liquid mass

liquid mass = liquid volume/vf

liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg

liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg

vg = vapor volume/vapor mass

vapor mass = liquid volume/vg

vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg

vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg

total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg

Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass

quality = 653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662
