Answer:

cross-weight is used to tighten it up.

Explanation:

and yes this is important because Cross-weight percentage compares the diagonal weight totals to the car's total weight.

An overhead 25m long, uninsulated industrial steam pipe of 100mm diameter is routed through a building whose walls and air are a

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a) he rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

b) the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

Explanation:

first we find the area

A = πdL

d is the diameter (0.1m) and L is the length (25m)

A = π × 0.1 × 25

A = 7.85 m²

Now rate of heat loss through convection

qconv = hA(Ts -Ta)

h is the convective heat transfer coefficient (10 W/m²K), Ts is surface temperature (150°), Ta is temperature of air (25°)

so we substitute

qconv = 10 W/m²K × 7.85 m² × ( 150° - 25°)

qconv = 9817.477 J/s

Now heat lost through radiation

qrad = ∈Aα ( Ts⁴ - Ta⁴)

∈ is the emissivity (0.8), α is the boltzmann constant ( 5.67×10⁻⁸m⁻²K⁻⁴ ),

first we shall covert our temperatures from Celsius to kelvin scale

Ts is surface temperature (150 + 273K ), Ta is temperature of air (25 + 273K)

so we substitute

qrad = 0.8 × 7.854 × 5.67×10⁻⁸ × ( (423)⁴ - (298)⁴ )

qrad = 3.5625×10⁻⁷ × 2.413×10¹⁰

qrad = 8596.112 J/s

Now to get the total rate of heat loss through convection and radiation, we say

q = qconv + qrad

q = 9817.477 + 8596.112

q = 18413.588 J/s ≈ 18.413588 kW

Therefore the rate of heat loss from the steam line is 18.413588 kW

annual cost of heat lost rate

A = C × q/n × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

C is the cost of heat per MJ( $0.02/10⁶) n is broiler efficiency ( 0.9)

so we substitute

A = 0.02/10⁶ × 18413.588/0.9 × ( 3600 × 24 × 365 )

A = $12904.25

Therefore the annual cost of heat loss from line is $12904.25

The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re

Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 % , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 % , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 % , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

TL = 400 K

TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

n_th < n_max ...... irreversible

n_th = n_max ...... reversible

n_th > n_max ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And, n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 33.333 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th < n_max

Hence, Irreversible Process

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 100 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th > n_max

Hence, Impossible Process

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 66.67 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th = n_max

Hence, Reversible Process

A capillary tube is immersed vertically in a water container. Knowing that water starts to evaporate when the pressure drops bel

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$d=0.414\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that

P = 4 KPa

Contact angle = 6°

Surface tension = 1 N/m

Lets assume that atmospheric pressure = 100 KPa

Lets take that density of water = $1000\ kg/m^3$

So the capillarity rise h

$h=\dfrac{\Delta P}{\rho g}$

$h=\dfrac{100\times 1000-4\times 1000}{1000\times 10}$

h= 9.61 m

We know that for capillarity rise h

$h=\dfrac{2\sigma cos\theta }{r\rho g}$

$r=\dfrac{2\sigma cos\theta }{h\rho g}$

$r=\dfrac{2\times 1 cos4^{\circ} }{9.61\times 1000\times 10}$

$r=0.207\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$d=0.414\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in Figure 12.9. The mass of the meter

sp2606 [1]

At equilibrium, the sum of clockwise and anticlockwise moments about a point is zero

The mass of that balances the system is $\underline {316.\overline 6}$ kg

The normal reaction force at the fulcrum is <u>5,804.25 N</u>

Rason:

The mass of the stick = 150.0 g

Mass m₁ on the left = 50.0 g, location = 30 cm to the left of m₂

Mass m₂ on the left = 75.0 g, location = 40 cm to the left of the fulcrum

Mass m₃ on the right of the fulcrum. location = 30 cm to the right of the fulcrum

Required:

To find the mass of m₃

Solution:

Taking moment about the fulcrum, we have;

50 × (30 + 40) + 75 × (40) + 150 × 20 = m₃ × 30

9,500 = m₃×30

$m_3 = \dfrac{9,500}{30} = 316. \overline 6$

The mass of that balances the system when it is attached at the right end of the stick, m₃ = $316.\overline 6$ kg

Normal reaction at the fulcrum = (50 + 75 + 150 + $316.\overline 6$ ) × 9.81 = 5804.25

The normal reaction at the fulcrum is 5,804.25 N
