An automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 L/h and delivers 85 kW of power to the wheels. If the fuel has a heating valu

e of 44,000 kJ/kg and a density of 0.8 g/cm3, determine the efficiency of this engine.

Answer:

The efficiency of the engine is 39.53%

Explanation:

data given by the exercise

HV = heating value = 44000 kJ/kg

Vfuel = volume flow rate of fuel = 22 L/h = 0.0061 L/s

W = power output = 55 kW

p = density = 0.8 g/cm³

the mass flow rate of fuel is equal to

$m_{fuel} =V*p=0.0061*0.8=4.89x10^{-3} kg/s$

the rate of heat supplied is

$Q_{in} =m_{fuel} *HV=4.89x10^{-3} *44000=215kW$

the efficiency is equal to

$n=\frac{W}{Q_{in} } *100=\frac{85}{215} *100=39.53$ %

Answer:

Efficiency of the engine is 39.51 %

Explanation:

Mass of fuel consumed per hour = 22 L/h * 0.08 Kg/L = 17.6 Kg/h

Total Energy Consumed per hour = Mass of fuel consumed per hour * Heating value of fuel

Total Energy Consumed per hour = 17.6 Kg/h * 44,000 KJ/Kg = 774,400 KJ/h

since, 1 KW = 3600 KJ/h

774,400KJ/h = 774,400/3600 kW = 215.1 kW

$Efficiency of the engine = \frac{Power to the wheels}{Total Power}$

Efficiency = 85/215.1 = 39.51 %

A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable s

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$D_o=11.9inch$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness $T=0.5$

Internal Pressure $P=2.2Ksi$

Shear stress $\sigma=12ksi$

Elastic modulus $\gamma= 35000$

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

$\sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}$

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

$12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}$

$r_i=5.45$

Generally

$r_o=r_1+t$

$r_o=5.45+0.5$

$r_o=5.95$

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

$D_o=2r_o$

$D_o=11.9inch$

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

$D_o=11.9inch$

Why the inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fields are governed by Laplace's equation?

creativ13 [48]

Answer: Laplace equation provides a linear solution and helps in obtaining other solutions by being added to various solution of a particular equation as well.

Inviscid , incompressible and irrotational field have and basic solution ans so they can be governed by the Laplace equation to obtain a interesting and non-common solution .The analysis of such solution in a flow of Laplace equation is termed as potential flow.

(a)Compute the electrical conductivity of a cylindrical silicon specimen 7.0 mm (0.28 in.) diameter and 57 mm (2.25 in.) in leng

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) $\sigma = 12.2$ (Ω-m)^{-1}

b) Resistance = 121.4 Ω

Explanation:

given data:

diameter is 7.0 mm

length 57 mm

current I = 0.25 A

voltage v = 24 v

distance between the probes is 45 mm

electrical conductivity is given as

$\sigma = \frac{I l}{V \pi r^2}$

$\sigma = \frac{0.25 \times 45\times 10^{-3}}{24 \pi [\frac{7 \times 10^{-3}}{2}]^2}$

$\sigma = 12.2$ (Ω-m)^{-1}[/tex]

b)

$Resistance = \frac{l}{\sigma A}$

$= \frac{l}{ \sigma \pi r^2}$

$= \frac{57 \times 10^{-3}}{12.2 \times \pi [\frac{7 \times 10^{-3}}{2}]^2}$

Resistance = 121.4 Ω
