You are designing a geartrain with three spur gears: one input gear, one idler gear,and one output gear. The diametral pitch for

the geartrain is 16. The diameter of the input gear needs to be twice the diameter of the idler gear and three times the diameter of the output gear. The entire geartrain needs to fit into a rectangular footprint of no larger than 22 in. high and 15 in. long. Determine an appropriate number of teeth of the smallest gear.

Answer:

The appropriate number of teeth of the smallest gear should is 58 teeth.

Explanation:

The given parameters include;

The diametral pitch = 16

Number of gears = 3

Diameter of the input gear = 2 × diameter of the idler gear

Diameter of the input gear = 3 × diameter of the output gear

Height of footprint = 22 in.

Length of footprint = 15 in.

Let the size of the output gear = X

Therefore, the input gear = 3·X

The diameter of the idle gear = 2·X

Therefore, total width of the gear train = X + 2·X + 3·X = 6·X

Where 6·X = 22, X = 22/6 = 11/3 in.

Since the diametral pitch = 16 then we have;

$Diametral \, Pitch = \frac{Number \, of \, teeth}{Pitch \, diameter}$

$\therefore Diametral \, Pitch \, of \, the \, smallest \, gear =16 =\frac{Number \, of \, teeth \, of \, the \, smallest \, gear}{\frac{11}{3} }$

Hence, number of teeth of the smallest gear = 16 × 11/3 = 176/3 = $58\tfrac{2}{3}$

The appropriate number of teeth of the smallest gear should be 58

From which we have the diameter of the smallest gear = 58/16 = 3.625

The diameter of the input gear is then 3 × 3.625 = 10.875 in.

The diameter of the idler = 2 × 3.625 = 7.25 in.

The appropriate number of teeth of the smallest gear should = 58 teeth.

Compute the fundamental natural frequency of the transverse vibration of a uniform beam of rectanqular cross section, with one e

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The natural angular frequency of the rod is 53.56 rad/sec

Explanation:

Since the beam is free at one end and fixed at the other hence the beam is a cantilevered beam as shown in the attached figure

We know that when a unit force is placed at the end of a cantilever the displacement of the free end is given by

$\Delta x=\frac{PL^3}{3EI}$

Hence we can write

$P=\frac{3EI\cdot \Delta x}{L^3}$

Comparing with the standard spring equation $F=kx$ we find the cantilever analogous to spring with $k=\frac{3EI}{L^3}$

Now the angular frequency of a spring is given by

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

'm' is the mass of the load

Thus applying values we get

$\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3EI}{L^{3}}}{Area\times density}}$

$\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3\times 20.5\times 10^{10}\times \frac{0.1\times 0.3^3}{12}}{5.9^{3}}}{0.3\times 0.1 \times 7830}}=53.56rad/sec$

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 120 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 20 psia. D

Shkiper50 [21]

Solution :

$P_1 = 120 \ psia$

$P_2 = 20 \ psia$

Using the data table for refrigerant-134a at P = 120 psia

$h_1=h_f=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_1=u_f=40.5485 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_{sat}=87.745^\circ F$

∴ $h_2=h_1=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

For pressure, P = 20 psia

$h_{2f} = 11.445 \ Btu/lbm$

$h_{2g} = 102.73 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2f} = 11.401 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2g} = 94.3 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_2=T_{sat}=-2.43^\circ F$

Change in temperature, $\Delta T = T_2-T_1$

$\Delta T = -2.43-87.745$

$\Delta T=-90.175^\circ F$

Now we find the quality,

$h_2=h_f+x_2(h_g-h_f)$

$40.8365=11.445+x_2(91.282)$

$x_2=0.32198$

The final energy,

$u_2=u_f+x_2.u_{fg}$

$=11.401+0.32198(82.898)$

$=38.09297 \ Btu/lbm$

Change in internal energy

$\Delta u= u_2-u_1$

= 38.09297-40.5485

= -2.4556

Suppose there are 76 packets entering a queue at the same time. Each packet is of size 5 MiB. The link transmission rate is 2.1

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

938.7 milliseconds

Explanation:

Since the transmission rate is in bits, we will need to convert the packet size to Bits.

1 bytes = 8 bits

1 MiB = 2^20 bytes = 8 × 2^20 bits

5 MiB = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits.

The formula for queueing delay of <em>n-th</em> packet is : (n - 1) × L/R

where L : packet size = 5 × 8 × 2^20 bits, n: packet number = 48 and R : transmission rate = 2.1 Gbps = 2.1 × 10^9 bits per second.

Therefore queueing delay for 48th packet = ( (48-1) ×5 × 8 × 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9

queueing delay for 48th packet = (47 ×40× 2^20)/2.1 × 10^9

queueing delay for 48th packet = 0.938725181 seconds

queueing delay for 48th packet = 938.725181 milliseconds = 938.7 milliseconds

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The exit temperature of the gas = 32° C

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Inlet temperature T₁ = 27°C ≈ 300.15 K

Inlet pressure P₁ = 100 KPa = 100 * 10^3 Pa

Volume flow rate , V = 15 m/s³

Diameter of the deduct, D = 500 mm = 0.5 m

Electric heater power, W heater = 130 kW = 130 * 10^3 W

The heat lost Q = 80 kW = 80 * 10^3 W

Now,

From the ideal gas law, density of the air at the inlet is given as :

ρ₁ = P₁/RT₁ = 100 * 10^3/500 * 300

=0.6667 kg/m³

The mass flow rate through the duct is computed below:

m = ρ₁ V = 0.6667 * 15 = 10 kg/s

Thus

Applying the first law of thermodynamics to the process is shown below:

Q + m (h₁ + V₁²/2 + gz₁) = m (h₂ + V₂²/2 + gz₂) + W (Conservation energy)

So,

If we neglect the potential and kinetic energy changes of the air, the above equation can be written again as:

Q + m (h₁) = m (h₂) + W

or

Q - W heater =m (h₂ - h₁) or Q - W heater =m (T₂ - T₁)

Thus

h₂ - h₁ = Cp T₂ - T₁

Now by method of substitution the known values are:

(- 80 *10^3) - (-130 * 10^3) = 10 * 100 * (T₂ -27)

Note: The heat transfer is taken as negative because the heat is lost by the gas and work done is also taken as negative because the work is done on the gas

So,

Solving for T₂,

T₂ = 32° C

Therefore the exit temperature of the gas = 32° C
