A gas enters a compressor that provides a pressure ratio (exit pressure to inlet pressure) equal to 8. If a gage indicates the g

as pressure at the inlet is 5.5 psig, what is the absolute pressure, in psia, of the gas at the exit? Atmospheric pressure is 14.5 lbf/in.2

Answer:

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$ (absolute).

Explanation:

Given that

Pressure ratio r

r=8

$r=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{P_1_{abs}}$ -----1

P₁(gauge) = 5.5 psig

We know that

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Given that

Atmospheric pressure = 14.5 lbf/in²

P₁(abs) = 14.5 + 5.5 psia

P₁(abs) =20 psia

Now by putting the values in the above equation 1

$8=\dfrac{P_2_{abs}}{20}$

$P_2_{abs}=8\times 20\ psia$

$P_2_{abs}=160\ psia$

Therefore the exit gas pressure will be 160 psia (absolute).

In order to develop this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to fatigue and compression effort and Goodman equation, i.e, an equation that can be used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a materia.

With the given data we can proceed to calculate the compression stress:

$\sigma_c = \frac{P}{A}$

$\sigma_c = \frac{160*10^3}{\pi/4*0.05^2}$

$\sigma_c = 81.5MPa$

Through Goodman's equations the combined effort by fatigue and compression is expressed as:

$\frac{\sigma_a}{S_e}+\frac{\sigma_c}{\sigma_u}=\frac{1}{Fs}$

Where,

$\sigma_a=$ Fatigue limit for comined alternating and mean stress

$S_e =$ Fatigue Limit

$\sigma_c=$ Mean stress (due to static load)

$\sigma_u =$ Ultimate tensile stress

$Fs =$ Security Factor

We can replace the values and assume a security factor of 1, then

$\frac{\sigma_a}{320}+\frac{81.5}{400}=\frac{1}{1}$

Re-arrenge for $\sigma_a$

$\sigma_a = 254.8Mpa$

We know that the stress is representing as,

$\sigma_a = \frac{M_c}{I}$

Then,

Where $M_c$ =Max Moment

I= Intertia

The inertia for this object is

$I=\frac{\pi d^4}{64}$

Then replacing and re-arrenge for $M_c$

$M_c = \frac{\sigma_a*\pi*d^3}{32}$

$M_c = \frac{260.9*10^6*\pi*0.05^3}{32}$

$M_c = 3201.7N.m$

Thereforethe moment that can be applied to this shaft so that fatigue does not occur is 3.2kNm

Technician A says that one planetary gear set can provide gear reduction, overdrive, and reverse. Technician B says that most tr

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Both technician A and technician B are correct

Explanation:

A planetary gearbox consists of a gearbox with the input shaft and the output shaft that is aligned to each other. It is used to transfer the largest torque in the compact form. A planetary gearbox has a compact size and low weight and it has high power density.

One planetary gear set can provide gear reduction, overdrive, and reverse. Also, most transmissions today use compound (multiple) planetary gears set.

So, both technician A and technician B are correct.

Give the approximate temperature (in K) at which creep deformation becomes an important consideration for each of the following

andrezito [222]

Answer:

691K, 543K, 725K, 1473K, 240K, 373K

Explanation:

Creep deformation of any metal is the transformational tendency of a metal to distort rapidly or slowly when attacked by any form of mechanical stress. The temperature significant for a metal to deform is gotten by the division of the actual temperature of the metal by its melting point. This is termed homologous temperature which is 0.4 or higher. It is calculated by the equation:

0.4Tm

Therefore for the listed metals...

For Nickel, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1455 + 273) = 691 K

For Copper, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1085 + 273) = 543 K

For Iron, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(1538 + 273) = 725 K

For Tungsten, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(3410 + 273) = 1473 K

For Lead, 0.4Tm = 0.4 × (327 + 273) = 240 K

For Aluminium, 0.4Tm = 0.4 ×(660 + 273) = 373 K
