Is the flow of power reversible in a worm and wheel gear

1 answer:

8 0

The flow of power cannot be reversed since the slider could not move the worm gears. Since the input has one continuous tooth and the output has not teeth there is no gear ratio and no change in torque and speed.

The interior wall of a building is made from 2×4 wood studs, plastered on one side. If the wall is 13 ft high, determine the loa

Elanso [62]

Answer:

load = 156 lb/ft

Explanation:

given data

interior wall of a building = 2×4 wood studs

plastered = 1 side

wall height = 13 ft

solution

we get here load so first we get wood stud load and that is

we know here from ASCE-7 norm

dead load of 2 x 4 wood studs with 1 side plaster = 12 psf

and we have given height 13 ft

so load will be = 12 psf × 13 ft

load = 156 lb/ft

The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 6-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 95 percent. The water flow rate

Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Mechanical efficiency ( $\varepsilon$ )=63.15% b) Temperature rise= 0.028ºC

Explanation:

For the item a) you have to define the mechanical power introduced (Wmec) to the system and the power transferred to the water (Pw).

The power input (electric motor) is equal to the motor power multiplied by the efficiency. Thus, $Wmec=0.95*6kW=5.7 kW$ .

Then, the power transferred (Pw) to the fluid is equal to the flow rate (Q) multiplied by the pressure jump $\Delta P$ . So $P_W = Q*\Delta P=0.018m^3/s * 200x10^3 Pa=3600W$ .

The efficiency is defined as the ratio between the output energy and the input energy. Then, the mechanical efficiency is $\varepsilon=3.6kW/5.7kW=0.6315=63.15\%$

For the b) item you have to consider that the inefficiency goes to the fluid as heat. So it is necessary to use the equation of the heat capacity but in a "flux" way. Calling <em>H</em> to the heat transfered to the fluid, the specif heat of the water and $\rho$ the density of the water:
