Consider a sphere made of stainless steel with diameter of 25 cm. It is heated to temperature of 300°C for some chemical tests.

After finishing the tests, the sphere is cooled by exposing it to a flow of air at 1 atm pressure and 25°C with a velocity of 3 m/s. By the end of cooling process, the sphere's temperature drops to 200°C. The rate of heat transfer loss due to convection is closest to:__________.

Answer:

263.69 W.

(None of the option).

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters or data or information which is going to allow us to solve this question and they are;

(1). diameter of 25 cm.

(2). Initial temperature of 300°C.

(3).temperature drops to 200°C = final temperature.

Step one: Calculate the Reynolds number.

Reynolds number = 3 × 0.25/1.562 × 10^-5 = 48015.365.

Step two: Calculate average heat transfer coefficient.

The average heat transfer coefficient = k/D { 2 + (0.4Re^1/2 + 0.06Re^2/3} px^0.4 × (u/uz)^1/4.

The average heat transfer coefficient = 0.10204 × [ 2 + (87.65 + 79.26) (0.8719) × 0.8909.

average heat transfer coefficient = 0.20204 ( 2 + 129.652).

average heat transfer coefficient = 13.43/m^2.k.

Step three: The rate of heat transfer loss due to convection = (average heat transfer coefficient ) × πD^2 × ( T1 - T2).

The rate of heat transfer loss due to convection= 13.43 × π(0.25)^2 × (300 - 200).

=>The rate of heat transfer loss due to convection = 263.69 W.

Air at 38°C and 97% relative humidity is to be cooled to 14°C and fed into a plant area at a rate of 510m3/min. (a) Calculate th

Katarina [22]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the ideal gas law, mass flow rate and total enthalpy.

The gas ideal law is given as,

$PV=mRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

m = mass

R = Gas Constant

T = Temperature

Our data are given by

$T_1 = 38\°C$

$T_2 = 14\°C$

$\eta = 97\%$

$\dot{v} = 510m^3/kg$

Note that the pressure to 38°C is 0.06626 bar

PART A) Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the mass flow,

$PV = mRT$

$\dot{m} = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$\dot{m} = \frac{0.6626*10^{5}*510}{287*311}$

$\dot{m} = 37.85kg/min$

Therfore the mass flow rate at which water condenses, then

$\eta = \frac{\dot{m_v}}{\dot{m}}$

Re-arrange to find $\dot{m_v}$

$\dot{m_v} = \eta*\dot{m}$

$\dot{m_v} = 0.97*37.85$

$\dot{m_v} = 36.72 kg/min$

PART B) Enthalpy is given by definition as,

$H= H_a +H_v$

Where,

$H_a$ = Enthalpy of dry air

$H_v$ = Enthalpy of water vapor

Replacing with our values we have that

$H=m*0.0291(38-25)+2500m_v$

$H = 37.85*0.0291(38-25)-2500*36.72$

$H = 91814.318kJ/min$

In the conversion system 1 ton is equal to 210kJ / min

$H = 91814.318kJ/min(\frac{1ton}{210kJ/min})$

$H = 437.2tons$

The cooling requeriment in tons of cooling is 437.2.

A water skier leaves the end of an 8 foot tall ski ramp with a speed of 20 mi/hr and at an angle of 250. He lets go of the tow r

klemol [59]

Answer:

At highest point:

y1 = 10.4 ft

v1 = (26.5*i + 0*j) ft/s

When he lands:

x2 = 31.5 ft (distance he travels)

t2 = 1.19 s

V2 = (26.5*i - 25.9*j) ft/s

a2 = -44.3°

Explanation:

Since he let go of the tow rope upon leaving the ramp he is in free fall from that moment on. In free fall he is affected only by the acceleration of gravity. Gravity has a vertical component only, so the movement will be at constant acceleration in the vertical component and at constant speed in the horizontal component.

20 mi / h = 29.3 ft/s

If the ramp has an angle of 25 degrees, the speed is

v0 = (29.3 * cos(25) * i + 29.3 * sin(25) * j) ft/s

v0 = (26.5*i + 12.4*j) ft/s

I set up the coordinate system with the origin at the base of the ramp under its end, so:

R0 = (0*i + 8*j) ft

The equation for the horizontal position is:

X(t) = X0 + Vx0 * t

The equation for horizontal speed is:

Vx(t) = Vx0

The equation for vertical position is:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

The equation for vertical speed is:

Vy(t) = Vy0 + a * t

In this frame of reference a is the acceleration of gravity and its values is -32.2 ft/s^2.

In the heighest point of the trajectory the vertical speed will be zero because that is the point where it transitions form going upwards (positive vertical speed) to going down (negative vertical speed), and it crosses zero.

0 = Vy0 + a * t1

a * t1 = -Vy0

t1 = -Vy0 / a

t1 = -12.4 / -32.2 = 0.38 s

y1 = y(0.38) = 8 + 12.4 * 0.38 + 1/2 * (-32.2) * (0.38)^2 = 10.4 ft

The velocity at that moment will be:

v1 = (26.5*i + 0*j) ft/s

When he lands in the water his height is zero.

0 = 8 + 12.4 * t2 + 1/2 * (-32.2) * t2^2

-16.1 * t2^2 + 12.4 * t2 + 8 = 0

Solving this equation electronically:

t2 = 1.19 s

Replacing this time on the position equation:

X(1.19) = 26.5 * 1.19 = 31.5 ft

The speed is:

Vx2 = 26.5 ft/s

Vy2 = 12.4 - 32.2 * 1.19 = -25.9 ft/s

V2 = (26.5*i - 25.9*j) ft/s

a2 = arctg(-25.9 / 26.5) = -44.3

Tech A says you can find the typical angle of a V-block engine by dividing the number of cylinders by 720

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Tech A is right as its V- angle is identified by splitting the No by 720 °. Of the piston at the edge of the piston.

Tech B is incorrect, as the V-Angle will be 720/10 = 72 for the V-10 motor, and he says 60 °.
