Answer:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite.

First step is to calculate the maximum modulus for the combined material using this formula

Modulus of Elasticity for mixture

E= EcuVcu+EwVw

Let pug in the formula

E =( 110 x 0.40)+ (407 x 0.60)

E=44+244.2 GPa

E=288.2GPa

Second step is to calculate the combined specific gravity using this formula

p= pcuVcu+pwTw

Let plug in the formula

p = (19.3 x 0.40) + (8.9 x 0.60)

p=7.72+5.34

p=13.06

Now let calculate the UPPER BOUNDS and the LOWER BOUNDS of the Specific stiffness

UPPER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Upper bounds=E/p

Let plug in the formula

Upper bounds=288.2/13.06

Upper bounds=22.07 GPa

LOWER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Lower bounds=EcuVcu/pcu+EwVw/pw

Let plug in the formula

Lower bounds =( 110 x 0.40)/8.9+ (407 x 0.60)/19.3

Lower bounds=(44/8.9)+(244.2/19.3)

Lower bounds=4.94+12.65

Lower bounds=17.59 GPa

Therefore the Estimated upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite will be:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

An escalator handles a steady load of 26 people per minute in elevating them from the first to the second floor through a vertic

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$\eta = 70.711\,\%$

Explanation:

The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:

$\dot W = \dot U_{g}$

$\dot W = \dot n \cdot m_{p}\cdot g \cdot \Delta y$

$\dot W = \left(26\,\frac{persons}{min}\right)\cdot (124\,lbm)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,lbf}{32.174\,\frac{lbm\cdot ft}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot (27.5\,ft)$

$\dot W = 88660\,\frac{lbf\cdot ft}{min}\,\left(2.687\,hp\right)$

The mechanical efficiency of the escalator is:

$\eta = \frac{2.687\,hp}{3.8\,hp}\times 100\,\%$

$\eta = 70.711\,\%$

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Hello there, please check step by step explanations to get answers.

Explanation:

Given that:

5-hp single-cylinder engine is used. At most, the belt transmits 60 percent of this power. The driving sheave has a diameter of 6.2 in. and the driven, 12.0 in. The belt selected should be as close to 92 in pitch length as possible. The engine speed is governor-controlled to a maximum of 3100 rev/min. Select a satisfactory belt, and specify it using the standard designation.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

B.197 gpm and 12.4 L/s

Explanation:

Given that

Load Q = 404.5 KW

Water inlet temperature= 6.1 °C

Water outlet temperature= 13.9°C

We know that specific heat for water

$C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}$

Now from energy balance

$Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T$

by putting the values

$Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T$

$404.5=\dot{m}\times 4.187(13.9-6.1)$

$\dot{m}=12.38\ \frac{kg}{s}$ (1 Kg/s = 15.85 gal/min)

We can say that

$\dot{m}=196.31\ \frac{gal}{min}$

We know that

$\dot{m}=\rho\times volume\ flow\ rate$

12.38=1000 x volume flow rate

$volume\ flow\ rate\ = 12.38\times 10^{-3}\ \frac{m^3}{s}$

So

volume flow rate = 12.38 L/s

So the option B is correct.

Rsidential Solar Solution:a. A type of photovoltaic solar panel manufactured in China receives a rating of 250W. The rating proc

aksik [14]

Answer:

a) $\eta = 13.455\%$ , b) $E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ$ , c) $C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD$ , d) $t = 40.588\,years$

Explanation:

a) The area of the solar panel is:

$A = (20\,ft^{2})\cdot (\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} )^{2}$

$A = 1.858\,m^{2}$

The energy potential is determined herein:

$\dot E_{o} = (1000\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (1.858\,m^{2})$

$\dot E_{o} = 1858\,W$

The efficiency of the solar panel is:

$\eta = \frac{\dot E}{\dot E_{o}}\times 100\%$

$\eta = \frac{250\,W}{1858\,W}\times 100\%$

$\eta = 13.455\%$

b) The energy generated by the solar panel is presented below:

$E_{day} = (0.135)\cdot (150\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (20\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} \right)^{2}\cdot (6\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )\cdot (\frac{1\,kJ}{1000\,J} )$

$E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ$

c) The energy generated per month and per panel is:

$E_{month} = 30\cdot E_{day}$

$E_{month} = 30 \cdot (812.716\,kJ)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kWh}{3600\,kJ} \right)$

$E_{month} = 6.773\,kWh$

Monthly energy savings due to the use of 18 panels are:

$C_{month, total} = 18\cdot E_{month}\cdot c$

$C_{month, total} = 18\cdot (6.773\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{0.16\,USD}{1\,kWh} )$

$C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD$

d) The payback of the solar energy system is:

$t = \frac{9500\,USD}{12\cdot (19.505\,USD)}$

$t = 40.588\,years$
