Should the ship breaking business continue why or why not?

Answer:

Ship-breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, or ship recycling. Modern ships have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render them uneconomical to operate.[1] Ship-breaking allows the materials from the ship, especially steel, to be recycled and made into new products. This lowers the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steel making process. Fixtures and other equipment on board the vessels can also be reused. While ship-breaking is sustainable, there are concerns about the use of poorer countries without stringent environmental legislation. It is also labor-intensive, and considered one of the world's most dangerous industries.[2]

In 2012, roughly 1,250 ocean ships were broken down, and their average age was 26 years.[3][4] In 2013, the world total of demolished ships amounted to 29,052,000 tonnes, 92% of which were demolished in Asia. As of January 2020, India has the largest global share at 30%;[5] followed by Bangladesh, China and Pakistan.[6] Alang, India currently has the world's largest ship graveyard,[5] followed by Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh and Gadani in Pakistan.[6]

The largest sources of ships are states of China, Greece and Germany respectively, although there is a greater variation in the source of carriers versus their disposal.[7] The ship-breaking yards of India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan employ 225,000 workers as well as providing many indirect jobs. In Bangladesh, the recycled steel covers 20% of the country's needs and in India it is almost 10%.[8]

As an alternative to ship-breaking, ships may be sunk to create artificial reefs after legally-mandated removal of hazardous materials, or sunk in deep ocean waters. Storage is a viable temporary option, whether on land or afloat, though all ships will be eventually scrapped, sunk, or preserved for museums.

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

5984.67N

Explanation:

A 14 inch diameter pipe is decreased in diameter by 2 inches through a contraction. The pressure entering the contraction is 28 psi and a pressure drop of 2 psi occurs through the contraction if the upstream velocity is 4.0 ft/sec. What is the magnitude of the resultant force (lbs) needed to hold the pipe in place?

from continuity equation

v1A1=v2A2

equation of continuity

v1=4ft /s=1.21m/s

d1=14 inch=.35m

d2=14-2=0.304m

A1=pi*d^2/4

0.096m^2

a2=0.0706m^2

from continuity once again

1.21*0.096=v2(0.07)

v2=1.65

force on the pipe

(p1A1- p2A2) + m(v2 – v1)

from bernoulli

p1 + ρv1^2/2 = p2 + ρv2^2/2

difference in pressure or pressure drop

p1-p2=2psi

13.789N/m^2=rho(1.65^2-1.21^2)/2

rho=21.91kg/m^3

since the pipe is cylindrical

pressure is egh

13.789=21.91*9.81*h

length of the pipe is

0.064m

AH=volume of the pipe(area *h)

the mass =rho*A*H

0.064*0.07*21.91

m=0.098kg

(193053*0.096- 179263.6* 0.07) + 0.098(1.65 – 1.21)

force =5984.67N

Explanation:

Note: Refer the diagram below

Obtaining data from property tables

State 1:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{1}=1.25 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat - vapour }\end{array}\right\} \begin{array}{l}h_{1}=234.45 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \\S_{1}=0.9346 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kgk}\end{array}

State 2:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{2}=5 \text { bor } \\S_{2}=S_{1}\end{array}\right\} \quad h_{2}=262.78 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

State 3:

\left.\begin{array}{l}P_{3}=5 \text { bar } \\\text { Sat }-4 q\end{array}\right\} h_{3}=71-33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

State 4:

Throttling process  h_{4}=h_{3}=71.33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

(a)

Magnitude of compressor power input

\dot{w}_{c}=\dot{m}\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)=\left(8 \cdot 5 \frac{\mathrm{kg}}{\min } \times \frac{1 \mathrm{min}}{\csc }\right)(262.78-234 \cdot 45)\frac{kj}{kg}

w_{c}=4 \cdot 013 \mathrm{kw}

(b)

Refrigerator capacity

Q_{i n}=\dot{m}\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)=\left(\frac{g \cdot s}{60} k_{0} / s\right) \times(234 \cdot 45-71 \cdot 33) \frac{k J}{k_{8}}

Q_{i n}=23 \cdot 108 \mathrm{kW}\\1 ton of retregiration =3.51 k \omega

\ Q_{in} =6 \cdot 583 \text { tons }

(c)

Cop:

\beta=\frac{\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)}{\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)}=\frac{Q_{i n}}{\omega_{c}}=\frac{23 \cdot 108}{4 \cdot 013}

\beta=5 \cdot 758
