Answer:

a) 1.9%

b) T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C

Explanation:

P1 = 95 kPa

T1 = 27°C  = 300 k

P2 = 600 kPa

T1 = 277°c  = 550 k

Table used : Table ( A - 17 ) Ideal gas properties of air

<u>a) determining the isentropic efficiency of the compressor </u>

Л = ( h2s - h1 ) / ( h2a -  h1 ) ---- ( 1 )

where ; h1 = 300.19 kJ/kg , T1 = 300 K , h2a = 554.74 kJ/kg , T2 = 550 k

To get h2s we have to calculate the the value of Pr2 using Pr1(relative pressure)

 Pr2 = P2/P1 * Pr = ( 600 / 95 ) * 1.306  hence; h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg

back to equation1

Л = 0.019 = 1.9%

<u>b) Calculate the exit temperature of the air if compressor is reversible </u>

if compressor is reversible the corresponding exit temperature

T2s = 505.5 k = 232.5°C

given that h2s = 500.72 kJ/kg

Engineers design for everyone and consider all design challenges opportunities to problem-solve. The roller coaster in this phot
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The "need" to build a roller coaster would not be considered an engineering design problem. This would be more of a management/accounting problem because they are the ones that analyze numbers and decide what the amusement park would need in order to maintain/increase profitability by attracting more customers. Therefore, if they "need" a new roller coaster to do so then it becomes their problem. For it to be an engineering design problem the statement should be "the need to design a roller coaster with certain specifics" or something along those lines.

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?
Tanzania [10]

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

  • Because it is a reference point.
  • It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>

A six-lane divided highway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with two access points per mile and has 10- ft
tatuchka [14]

Answer

given,

6 lanes divided highway 3 lanes in each direction

rolling terrain

lane width = 10'

shoulder on right = 5'

PHF = 0.9

shoulder on the left direction = 3'

peak hour volume = 3500 veh/hr

large truck = 7 %

tractor trailer = 3 %

speed = 55 mi/h

LOS is determined based on V p

10' lane weight ;  f_{Lw}=6.6 mi/h

5' on right   ;    f_{Lc} = 0.4 mi/hr

3' on left   ;      no adjustment

3 lanes in each direction    f n = 3 mi/h

v_p =\dfrac{V}{f_{HV}\times N\times f_p\times PHF}

f_{HV}=\dfrac{1}{1+P_T(E_T-1)+P_R(E_R-1)}

f_{HV}=\dfrac{1}{1+0.08(2.5-1)+0.02(2-1)}

          = 0.877

v_p =\dfrac{3500}{0.877\times 3\times 0.95\times0.9}

       = 1,555 veh/hr/lane

FFS = BFFS - F_{Lw}-F_{Lc}-F_{N}-F_{ID}

      = (55 + 5) - 6.6 - 0.4 -3 -0

      = 50 mi/h

D = \dfrac{V_P}{s}

D = \dfrac{1555}{55} =28.27

level of service is D using speed flow curves and LOS for basic free moving of vehicle

The device whose operation closely matches the way the clamp-on ammeter works is
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The answer is

C. Split phase motor

Explanation:

Clamp meters rely on the principle of magnetic induction to make non contact AC current measurements. Electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field.

Which is similar to basic mode of operation of electric motor and split phase motor is a type of electric motor.

What is a a clamp on meter?

Clamp meters are electrical testers which have wide jaws that are able to clamp around an electrical conductor. Originally designed as a single purpose tool for measuring AC current, clamp meters now include inputs for accepting test leads and other probes that support a wide range of electrical measurements, the jaws of a clamp meter permit work in tight spaces and permits current measurements on live conductors without circuit interruption.
