A Carnot heat engine absorbs 235 KW of heat from a heat source and rejects 164 KW to the atmosphere. Determine the thermal effic

Engineering
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

43.2%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by a carnot heat engine, Q_1=235\ kW

Heat rejected to the atmosphere, Q_2=164\ kW

We need ti find the thermal efficiency of the heat engine. It is equal to the ratio of output work to the energy supplied. Its mathematical form is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_1}{Q_2}\\\\\eta=1-\dfrac{235}{164}\\\\\eta=-0.432

or

\eta=-43.2\%

The egative value of efficiency shows work is done by the engine.

How do you determine when a truss will fail?<br> (Yield Stress)
Marat540 [252]

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.

Liquid flows with a free surface around a bend. The liquid is inviscid and incompressible, and the flow is steady and irrotation
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

9 cm

Explanation:

The liquid on the bend will be affected by two accelerations: gravity and centripetal force.

Gravity will be of 9.81 m/s^2 pointing down at all points.

The centripetal acceleration will be of

ac = v^2/r

Pointing to the center of the bend (perpendicular to gravity).

The velocity will depend on the radius

v = (1 m^2/s) / r

Replacing:

ac = (1/r)^2 / r

ac = (1 m^4/s^2) / r^3

If we set up a cylindrical reference system with origin at the center of the bend, the total acceleration will be

a = (-1/r^3 * i - 9.81 * j)

The surface of the liquid will be an equipotential surface, this means all points on the surface have the same potential energy.

The potential energy of the gravity field is:

pg = g * h

The potential energy of the centripetal force is:

pc = ac * r

Then the potential field is:

p = -1/r^2 * - 9.81*h

Points on the surface at r = 1 m and r = 3 m have the same potential.

-1/1^2 * - 9.81*h1 = -1/3^2 * - 9.81*h2

-1 - 9.81*h1 = -1/9 - 9.81*h2

-1 + 1/9 = 9.81 * (h1 - h2)

h1 - h2 = (-8/9) / 9.81

h2 - h1 = 0.09 m

The outer part will be 9 cm higher than the inner part.

I'll mark brainliest plz help
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three points in time we need to consider.  At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree.  At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window.  At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.

We are given the following information:

y₁ = 3 m

y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m

t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

We need to find y₀.

Use a constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluated at point 1:

3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

Evaluated at point 2:

0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²

0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²

Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²

0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)

We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784

0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁

t₁ = 0.412

Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²

3 = y₀ − 0.83

y₀ = 3.83

Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.

An airliner is flying at 34,000 ft cruise altitude on a standard day. Calculate the pressure difference between the cabin and th
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

\Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given

Airline flying at 34,000 ft.

Cabin pressurized to an altitude 8,000 ft.

We know that at standard condition ,density of air

\rho =0.074\ lb/ft^3

We know that pressure difference    

ΔP=ρ g ΔZ

Here ΔZ=34,000-8,000  ft

        ΔZ=26,000 ft

g= 32.2\ ft/s^2

ΔP=0.074 x 32.2 x 26,000

\Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2

So pressure difference will be \Delta P=61,952.8\ lb/ft^2.
