Answer:

a)exit velocity of the steam, V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100 psi

V1 = 100 ft./sec

T1 = 500f

P2 = 40 psi

n = 95% = 0.95

a) for nozzle:

Let's apply steady gas equation.

$h_1 + \frac{(v_1) ^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{(v_2)^2}{2}$

h1 and h2 = inlet and exit enthalpy respectively.

At T1 = 500f and P1 = 100 psi,

h1 = 1278.8 Btu/Ibm

s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At P2 = 40psi and s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

1193.5 Btu/Ibm

Let's find the actual h2 using the formula :

$n = \frac{h_1 - h_2*}{h_1 - h_2}$

$n = \frac{1278.8 - h_2*}{1278.8 - 1193.5}$

solving for h2, we have

$h_2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm$

Take Btu/Ibm = 25037 ft²/s²

Using the first equation, exit velocity of the steam =

$(1278.8 * 25037) + \frac{(100)^2}{2}= (1197.77*25037)+ \frac{(V_2)^2}{2}$

Solving for V2, we have

V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) The amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R will be calculated using :

Δs = s2 - s1

Where s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At h2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm and P2 =40 psi,

S2 = 1.714 Btu/Ibm.R

Therefore, amount of entropy produced will be:

Δs = 1.714Btu/Ibm.R - 1.708Btu/Ibm.R

= 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator

weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m

Explanation:

calculate the shaft diameter from the torque, \frac{τ}{r} = \frac{T}{J} = \frac{C . ∅}{l}

Where, τ = Torsional stress induced at the outer surface of the shaft (Maximum Shear stress).

r = Radius of the shaft.

T = Twisting Moment or Torque.

J = Polar moment of inertia.

C = Modulus of rigidity for the shaft material.

l = Length of the shaft.

θ = Angle of twist in radians on a length.

Maximum Torque, ζ= τ × \frac{ π}{16} × d³

τ= 60 MPa

ζ= 800 N·m

800 = 60 × \frac{ π}{16} × d³

800= 11.78 × d³

d³= 800 ÷ 11.78

d³= 67.9

d= \sqrt[3]{} 67.9

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m

An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

$\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}$ and making Y the subject

$Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}$

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, $\sigma_c$ is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

$Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682$

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

$\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}$ and making K the subject

$K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}$ and substituting 260 MPa for $\sigma_c$ while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

$K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa$

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material

A person holds her hand out of an open car window while the car drives through still air at 65 mph. Under standard atmospheric c

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}$

$101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2$

Explanation:

$v_1$ = Velocity of car = 65 mph = $65\times \dfrac{5280}{3600}=95.33\ \text{ft/s}$

$\rho$ = Density of air = $0.00237\ \text{slug/ft}^3$

$v_2=0$

$P_1=0$

$h_1=h_2$

From Bernoulli's law we have

$P_1+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+h_1=P_2+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+h_2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00237\times 95.33^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}$

The maximum pressure on the girl's hand is $10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}$

Now $v_1$ = 200 mph = $200\times \dfrac{5280}{3600}=293.33\ \text{ft/s}$

$P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00237\times 293.33^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2$

The maximum pressure on the girl's hand is $101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2$
