Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres, through which a hot gas flows if the system is be

ing charged, or a cold gas if it is being discharged. In a charging process, heat transfer from the hot gas increases thermal energy stored within the colder spheres; during discharge, the stored energy decreases as heat is transferred from the warmer spheres to the cooler gas. Consider a packed bed of 75-mm-diameter aluminum spheres (p = 2,700 kg/m^3; c = 950 J/kg*K; k = 240 W/m*K) and a charging process for which gas enters the storage unit at a temperature of 300 degrees C. The initial temperature of the spheres is Ti = 25 degrees C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 75 W/m^2*K.
a. How long does it take a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible thermal energy? What is the corresponding temperature at the center of the sphere?
b. Is there any advantage to using copper (p = 8,900 kg/m^3; c = 380 J/kg*K; k = 390W/m*K) instead of aluminum?
c. Consider the same packed bed operating conditions, but with Pyrex (p = 2,200 kg/m^3; c = 840 J/kg*K; k = 1.4 W/m*K) used instead of aluminum. How long does it take a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible thermal energy? What is the corresponding temperature at the center of the sphere?

Answer:

A) i) 984.32 sec

ii) 272.497° C

B) It has an advantage

C) attached below

Explanation:

Given data :

P = 2700 Kg/m^3

c = 950 J/kg*k

k = 240 W/m*K

Temp at which gas enters the storage unit  = 300° C

Ti ( initial temp of sphere ) = 25°C

convection heat transfer coefficient ( h ) = 75 W/m^2*k

<u>A) Determine how long it takes a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible energy and the corresponding temperature at the center of sphere</u>

First step determine the Biot Number

characteristic length( Lc ) = ro / 3 = 0.0375 / 3 = 0.0125

Biot number ( Bi ) = hLc / k = (75)*(0.0125) / 40 = 3.906*10^-3

Given that the value of the Biot number is less than 0.01 we will apply the lumped capacitance method

attached below is a detailed solution of the given problem

<u>B) The physical properties are copper</u>

Pcu = 8900kg/m^3)

Cp.cu = 380 J/kg.k

It has an advantage over Aluminum

C<u>) Determine how long it takes a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible energy and the corresponding temperature at the center of sphere</u>

Given that:

P = 2200 Kg/m^3

c = 840 J/kg*k

k = 1.4 W/m*K

Two rods, with masses MA and MB having a coefficient of restitution, e, move along a common line on a surface, figure 2. a) Find
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A.) Find the answer in the explanation

B.) Ua = 7.33 m/s , Vb = 7.73 m/s

C.) Impulse = 17.6 Ns

D.) 49%

Explanation:

Let Ua = initial velocity of the rod A

Ub = initial velocity of the rod B

Va = final velocity of the rod A

Vb = final velocity of the rod B

Ma = mass of rod A

Mb = mass of rod B

Given that

Ma = 2kg

Mb = 1kg

Ub = 3 m/s

Va = 0

e = restitution coefficient = 0.65

The general expression for the velocities of the two rods after impact will be achieved by considering the conservation of linear momentum.

In the circuit below I 1=20mA V1=10 R1=400 R2=2000 R3=1000. Use node analysis to find R2
Hatshy [7]

Answer:0.2A

Explanation:

First, write KCL

i1-i2-i3=0

Then, replace currents with viltages and resistors.

V2-10v/100-v2/200-v2/400=0

V2-40=0

V2=40v

I hope it was helpful
