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 %

Murljashka [212]

A 260 ft (79.25m) length of size 4 AWG uncoated copper wire operating at a temperature of 75°c has a resistance of 0.0792 ohm.

Explanation:

From the given data the area of size 4 AWG of the code is 21.2 mm², then K is the Resistivity of the material at 75°c is taken as ( 0.0214 ohm mm²/m ).

To find the resistance of 260 ft (79.25 m) of size 4 AWG,

R= K * L/ A

K = 0.0214 ohm mm²/m

L = 79.25 m

A = 21.2 mm²

R = 0.0214 * \frac{79.25}{21.2}

  = 0.0214 * 3.738

  = 0.0792 ohm.

Thus the resistance of uncoated copper wire is 0.0792 ohm

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Java.

  1. public class Movie {
  2.    private double  [][] seats = new double[5][5];
  3.    private double totalSales;
  4.    public Movie(){
  5.        for(int i= 0; i < this.seats.length; i++){
  6.            for(int j = 0; j < this.seats[i].length; j++){
  7.                this.seats[i][j] = 12;
  8.            }
  9.        }
  10.        this.totalSales = 0;
  11.    }
  12.    public boolean bookSeat(int i, int j)
  13.    {
  14.        if(this.seats[i][j] != 0){
  15.            this.totalSales += this.seats[i][j];
  16.            this.seats[i][j] = 0;
  17.            return true;
  18.        }else{
  19.            return false;
  20.        }
  21.    }
  22. }

Explanation:

The method, bookSeat(), as required by the question is presented from Line 16 - 26 as part of the public method in a class <em>Movie</em>.  This method take row,<em> i</em>, and column,<em> j</em>, as input.

By presuming the seats is an two-dimensional array with all its elements are  initialized 12 (Line 7 - 10). This means we presume the movie ticket price for all the seats are $12, for simplicity.

When the<em> bookSeat() </em>method is invoked, it will check if the current price of seats at row-i and column-i is 0. If not, the current price, will be added to the <em>totalSales </em>(Line 19)<em> </em>and then set the price to 0 (Line 20) and return <em>true</em> since the ticket is successfully sold (Line 21).  If it has already been sold, return <em>false</em> (Line 23).
