Answer:

The required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

Explanation:

We are given current density of 459 A/cm² and we want to limit the current to 0.53 A in a fuse wire. We are asked to find the corresponding diameter of the fuse wire.

Recall that current density is given by

j = I/A

where I is the current flowing through the wire and A is the area of the wire

A = πr²

but r = d/2 so

A = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

so the equation of current density becomes

j = I/πd²/4

j = 4I/πd²

Re-arrange the equation for d

d² = 4I/jπ

d = √4I/jπ

d = √(4*0.53)/(459π)

d = 0.0383 cm

Therefore, the required diameter of the fuse wire should be 0.0383 cm to limit the current to 0.53 A with current density of 459 A/cm² .

Liquid water is fed to a boiler at 24°C and 10 bar is converted at a constant pressure to saturated steam.

zepelin [54]

We can find the change in the enthalpy through the tables A5 for Saturated water, pressure table.

For 1bar=1000kPa:

$T_{sat}=179.88\°c$

$H_{fg} = 2014.6kJ/kg$

$c_p=4.18 kJkg^{-1}{K^{-1}$

$\nu_g = 0.19436m^3/kg$

Replacing,

$\Delta h = h_{fg}+c_p(T_{sat}-T_{inlet})$

$\Delta h = 2014.6+4.18(179.88-24)$

$\Delta h=2666.17kJ/kg$

With the specific volume we know can calculate the mass flow, that is

$\dot{m}=\frac{\frac{15000}{3600}}{0.19436}$

$\dot{m} = 21.4378kg/s$

Then the heat required in input is,

$Q=\dot{m}\Delta h$

$Q=21.4378*2666.17$

$Q=57157.036kW$

With the same value required of 15000m^3/h, we can calculate the velocity of the water, that is given by,

$V= \frac{\dotV}{A}$

$V = \frac{\frac{15000}{3600}}{\pi /4 *(0.15)^2}$

$V=235.79m/s$

Finally we can apply the steady flow energy equation, that is

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{V^2}{2000})+Q = \dot{m}h_2$

Re-arrange for Q,

$Q=\dot{m}(h_2-h_1-\frac{V^2}{2000})$

$Q=\dot{m}(\Delta h-\frac{V^2}{2000})$

$Q= (21.4378)(2666.17-\frac{235.79^2}{2000})$

$Q= 56560.88kW$

We can note that consider the Kinetic Energy will decrease the heat input.

Shear strain can be expressed in units of either degrees or radians. a)True b)- False

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

shear strain is define as the ratio of change in deformation to the original length perpendicular to the axes of member due to shear stress.

ε = deformation/original length

strain is a unit less quantity but shear stain is generally expressed in radians but it can also be expressed in degree.

The period of a pendulum T is assumed to depend only on the mass m, the length of the pendulum `, the acceleration due to gravit

zzz [600]

Answer:

The expression is shown in the explanation below:

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the time period of a simple pendulum be given by the expression:

$T = \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

Let the fundamental units be mass= M, time = t, length = L

Then the equation will be in the form

$T = M^{a}l^{b}g^{c}$

$T = KM^{a}l^{b}g^{c}$

where k is the constant of proportionality.

Now putting the dimensional formula:

$T = KM^{a}L^{b} [LT^{-} ^{2}]^{c}$

$M^{0}L^{0}T^{1} = KM^{a}L^{b+c}$

Equating the powers gives:

a = 0

b + c = 0

2c = 1, c = -1/2

b = 1/2

so;

a = 0 , b = 1/2 , c = -1/2

Therefore:

$T = KM^{0}l^{\frac{1}{2} } g^{\frac{1}{2} }$

T = $2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

where k = $2\pi$
