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

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The field strength needed is 0.625 T

Explanation:

Given;

angular frequency, ω = 400 rpm = (2π /60) x (400) = 41.893 rad/s

area of the rectangular coil, A =  L x B = 0.0611 x 0.05 = 0.003055 m²

number of tuns of the coil, N = 300 turns

peak emf = 24 V

The peak emf is given by;

emf₀ = NABω

B = (emf₀ ) / (NA ω)

B = (24) / (300 x 0.003055 x 41.893)

B = 0.625 T

Therefore, the field strength needed is 0.625 T

Less, if it’s too big: hard to control and maneuverability for shooting wouldn’t be that good. a smaller wheelchair allows for faster movement and control, along with easier shooting and upper body movement

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Improved/ advanced types of Actuators include servo systems, create a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion.

Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Explanation:

An actuator control system is referred to as any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system often used to activate an actuator, control the direction as well as extent and duration of its output. Actuator control systems could take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated, start-and-stop stations, either sophisticated or programmable computer systems. The more improved/ advanced types include servo systems that produce a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process. This type of actuator control system uses an interface arrangement that assimilates feedback from the process or mechanism and adjusts the actuator in the right way. Most actuator systems will include at least a set of travel limits that prevent the actuator destroying itself or the secondary mechanism.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion. They are used to changes, adjust, or move a secondary mechanism, where a physical operator cannot intervene directly. They are denoted by a large range of varying types using electrical and electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic power sources to create linear or rotary outputs. One element they all have in common is the actuator control system used to start, stop, and adjust the range, speed, and duration of the working motion.

Actuators can produce a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion which means they can create motion in one direction, in a circular motion or in opposite directions at regular intervals. Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.
