Answer:

If a truss buckles or overturns, it is usually because of the failure of an adjacent truss or its bracing. A steel truss in a fire may buckle and overturn because of expansion or weakening from the heat. Most truss failures are the result of broken connections. Photo 1 shows a set of parallel-chord wood trusses supporting a plywood floor deck.

The 1000-lb elevator is hoisted by the pulley system and motor M. The motor exerts a constant force of 500 lb on the cable. The

klemol [59]

The power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

weight of the elevator, m = 1000 lb

Force on the table, F = 500 lb

Distance, s = 27 ft

Efficiency, ε = 0.65

Power = ?

According to the equation of motion:

F = ma

$3(500) - 1000 = \frac{1000}{32.2} * a$

a = 16.1 ft/s²

We know,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2a (S - So)\\\\v^2 - (0)^2 = 2 * 16.1 (27-0)\\\\v = 29.48m/s$

To calculate the output power:

Pout = F. v

Pout = 3 (500) * 29.48

Pout = 44220 lb.ft/s

As efficiency is given and output power is known, we can calculate the input power.

ε = Pout / Pin

0.65 = 44220 / Pin

Pin = 68030.8 lb.ft/s

Pin = 68030.8 / 500 hp

= 136 hp

Therefore, the power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

Is the COP of a heat pump always larger than 1?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump= 1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, and the condenser pressure i

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$

Explanation:

The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$w_{in} + h_{in}- h_{out} = 0$

$h_{out} = w_{in}+h_{in}$

$h_{out} = 12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 191.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{out} = 203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

$h_{out} = 2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:

$\dot Q_{in} = \left(150\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MW}{1000\,kW} \right)$

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$
