Disturbances inside Earth’s core cause earthquakes. The starting point of the disturbance is called the epicenter. Why does the

amplitude of a seismic wave usually decrease as the wave moves away from the epicenter?

The waves lose energy in the form of heat. The frequency of the waves continues to increase. Disturbances inside Earth's core cause earthquakes. The starting point of the disturbance is called the epicenter.

Steam is to be condensed on the shell side of a heat exchanger at 150 oF. Cooling water enters the tubes at 60 oF at a rate of 4
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a. 572Btu/s

b.0.1483Btu/s.R

Explanation:

a.Assume a steady state operation, KE and PE are both neglected and fluids properties are constant.

From table A-3E, the specific heat of water is c_p=1.0\ Btu/lbm.F, and the steam properties as, A-4E:

h_{fg}=1007.8Btu/lbm, s_{fg}=1.6529Btu/lbm.R

Using the energy balance for the system:

\dot E_{in}-\dot E_{out}=\bigtriangleup \dot E_{sys}=0\\\\\dot E_{in}=\dot E_{out}\\\\\dot Q_{in}+\dot m_{cw}h_1=\dot m_{cw}h_2\\\\\dot Q_{in}=\dot m_{cw}c_p(T_{out}-T_{in})\\\\\dot Q_{in}=44\times 1.0\times (73-60)=572\ Btu/s

Hence, the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger is 572Btu/s

b. Heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the condensing steam.

-The rate of steam condensation is expressed as:

\dot m_{steam}=\frac{\dot Q}{h_{fg}}\\\\\dot m_{steam}=\frac{572}{1007.8}=0.5676lbm/s

Entropy generation in the heat exchanger could be defined using the entropy balance on the system:

\dot S_{in}-\dot S_{out}+\dot S_{gen}=\bigtriangleup \dot S_{sys}\\\\\dot m_1s_1+\dot m_3s_3-\dot m_2s_2-\dot m_4s_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot m_ws_1+\dot m_ss_3-\dot m_ws_2-\dot m_ss_4+\dot S_{gen}=0\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m_w(s_2-s_1)+\dot m_s(s_4-s_3)\\\\\dot S_{gen}=\dot m c_p \ In(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-\dot m_ss_{fg}\\\\\\\dot S_{gen}=4.4\times 1.0\times \ In( {73+460)/(60+460)}-0.5676\times 1.6529\\\\=0.1483\ Btu/s.R

Hence,the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. is 0.1483Btu/s.R

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass
mixas84 [53]

Answer:3.874 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s

34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s

we know acceleration is given by =\frac{velocity}{Time}

a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}

a=-3.874 m/s^2

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

v^2-u^2=2as

\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s

s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}

s=63.038 m

En un rio una Onda viaja con una velocidad de propagación de 50 m/s con una longitud de Onda de 40 metros. Hallar la frecuencia
sattari [20]

Answer:

Frequencia = 1.25 Hz

Explanation:

<u>Dados los siguientes datos;</u>

  • Velocidad = 50 m/s
  • Longitud de onda = 40 metros

Para encontrar la frecuencia de la onda;

Matemáticamente, la velocidad de una onda viene dada por la fórmula;

Velocidad = Longitud \; de \; onda * Frequencia

Haciendo de la frecuencia el tema de la fórmula, tenemos;

Frequencia = \frac {Velocidad}{Longitud \; de \; onda}

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Frequencia = \frac {50}{40}

<em>Frequencia = 1.25 Hz</em>
