An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 9.2 and uses air as the working fluid. At the beginning of the compression proces

s, air is at 98 kPa and 27°C. The pressure is doubled during the constant-volume heat-addition process. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air (qout), (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle.

Answer:

(a) The amount of heat transferred to the air, q_{out} is 215.5077 kJ/kg

(b) The net work output, W_{net}, is 308.07 kJ/kg

(c) The thermal efficiency is 58.8%

(d) The Mean Effective Pressure, MEP, is 393.209 kPa

Explanation:

(a) The assumptions made are;

c_p = 1.005 kJ/(kg·K), c_v = 0.718 kJ/(kg·K), R = 0.287 kJ/(kg·K),

Process 1 to 2 is isentropic compression, therefore;

T_{2}= T_{1}\left (\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}  \right )^{k-1} = 300.15\times 9.2^{0.4} = 729.21 \, K

From;

\dfrac{p_{1}\times v_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}\times v_{2}}{T_{2} }

We have;

p_{2} = \dfrac{p_{1}\times v_{1}\times T_{2}}{T_{1} \times v_{2}} = \dfrac{98\times 9.2\times 729.21}{300.15 } = 2190.43 \, kPa

Process 2 to 3 is reversible constant volume heating, therefore;

\dfrac{p_3}{T_3} =\dfrac{p_2}{T_2}

p₃ = 2 × p₂ = 2 × 2190.43 = 4380.86 kPa

T_3 = \dfrac{p_3 \times T_2}{p_2} =\dfrac{4380.86  \times 729.21}{2190.43} = 1458.42 \, K

Process 3 to 4 is isentropic expansion, therefore;

T_{3}= T_{4}\left (\dfrac{v_{4}}{v_{3}}  \right )^{k-1}

1458.42= T_{4} \times \left (9.2 \right )^{0.4}

T_4 = \dfrac{1458.42}{(9.2)^{0.4}}  = 600.3 \, K

q_{out} = m \times c_v \times (T_4 - T_1) = 0.718  \times (600.3 - 300.15) = 215.5077 \, kJ/kg

The amount of heat transferred to the air, q_{out} = 215.5077 kJ/kg

(b) The net work output, W_{net}, is found as follows;

W_{net} = q_{in} - q_{out}

q_{in} = m \times c_v \times (T_3 - T_2) = 0.718  \times (1458.42 - 729.21) = 523.574 \, kJ/kg

\therefore W_{net} = 523.574 - 215.5077 = 308.07 \, kJ/kg

(c) The thermal efficiency is given by the relation;

\eta_{th} = \dfrac{W_{net}}{q_{in}} \times 100=  \dfrac{308.07}{523.574} \times 100= 58.8\%

(d) From the general gas equation, we have;

V_{1} = \dfrac{m\times R\times T_{1}}{p_{1}} = \dfrac{1\times 0.287\times 300.15}{98} =0.897\, m^{3}/kg

The Mean Effective Pressure, MEP, is given as follows;

MEP =\dfrac{W_{net}}{V_1 - V_2} = \dfrac{W_{net}}{V_1 \times (1- 1/r)}= \dfrac{308.07}{0.897\times (1- 1/9.2)} = 393.209 \, kPa

The Mean Effective Pressure, MEP = 393.209 kPa.

For a bolted assembly with eight bolts, the stiffness of each bolt is kb = 1.0 MN/mm and the stiffness of the members is km = 2.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) 0.978

b) 0.9191

c) 1.056

d) 0.849

Explanation:

Given data :

Stiffness of each bolt = 1.0 MN/mm

Stiffness of the members = 2.6 MN/mm per bolt

Bolts are preloaded to 75% of proof strength

The bolts are M6 × 1 class 5.8 with rolled threads

Pmax =60 kN,  Pmin = 20kN

<u>a) Determine the yielding factor of safety</u>

n_{p} = \frac{S_{p}A_{t}  }{CP_{max}+ F_{i}  }  ------ ( 1 )

Sp = 380 MPa,   At = 20.1 mm^2,   C = 0.277,  Pmax = 7500 N,  Fi = 5728.5 N

Input the given values into the equation above

equation 1 becomes ( np ) = \frac{380*20.1}{0.277*7500*5728.5} = 0.978

note : values above are derived values whose solution are not basically part of the required solution hence they are not included

<u>b) Determine the overload factor of safety</u>

n_{L} =  \frac{S_{p}A_{t}-F_{i}   }{C(P_{max} )}  ------- ( 2 )

Sp =  380 MPa,   At =  20.1 mm^2, C = 0.277,  Pmax = 7500 N,  Fi = 5728.5 N

input values into equation 2 above

hence : n_{L} = 0.9191n_{L}  = 0.9191

<u>C)  Determine the factor of safety based on joint separation</u>

n_{0} = \frac{F_{i} }{P_{max}(1 - C ) }

Fi =  5728.5 N,  Pmax = 7500 N,  C = 0.277,

input values into equation above

Hence n_{0} = 1.056

<u>D)  Determine the fatigue factor of safety using the Goodman criterion.</u>

nf = 0.849

attached below is the detailed solution .

An add tape of 101 ft is incorrectly recorded as 100 ft for a 200-ft distance. What is
baherus [9]

Answer:

the correct distance is 202 ft

Explanation:

The computation of the correct distance is shown below:

But before that correction to be applied should be determined

= (101 ft - 100 ft) ÷ (100 ft) × 200 ft

= 2 ft

Now the correct distance is

= 200 ft +  2 ft

= 202 ft

Hence, the correct distance is 202 ft

The same would be relevant and considered too

A gear train has two gears. The driver gear has 8 teeth and a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch. the follower gear has 24 teeth. W
Sliva [168]

Answer:

18 teeth/inch

Explanation:

Given that: i. driver gear has 8 teeth and diametral pitch of 6 teeth/inch.

                  ii. follower gear has 24 teeth.

Let the followers diametral pitch be represented by x.

Then,

8 teeth ⇒  6 teeth/inch

24 teeth ⇒ x teeth/inch

So that;

x = \frac{24 x 6}{8}

   = \frac{144}{8}

   = 18 teeth/inch

The diametral is 18 teeth/inch
