The correct answer is A. Earning a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a four-year university, completing an internship, and seeking a job at a private firm.

Explanation:

In the U.S. and many countries, the best to start a career is to enroll in a formal educational program at a university or college. This helps students learn concepts, theories, methods, etc. they need for their profession. Moreover, a degree such as a bachelor's degree is required by employers. In this context, the first step for Connor is to earn a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.

Besides this, an internship is recommended after earning a degree because this is the way students can gain real-life work experience, which is considered positive by employers. This means the next step should be an internship.

Finally, Connor can seek a job to design bridges and other buildings because after the degree and internship he will have the experience and knowledge required by employers and by the job.

Answer:

The total force resisted by the flange bolts is 163.98 N

Explanation:

Solution

The first step is to find the pipe cross section at the inlet section

Now,

A₁ = π /4 D₁²

D₁ = diameter of the pipe at the inlet section

Now we insert 8 cm for D₁ which gives us A₁ = π /4 D (8)²

=50.265 cm² * ( 1 m²/100² cm²)

= 5.0265 * 10^⁻³ m²

Secondly, we find cross section area of the pipe at the inlet section

A₂ = π /4 D₂²

D₂ = diameter of the pipe at the inlet section

Now we insert 5 cm for D₁ which gives us A₁ = π /4 D (5)²

= 19.63 cm² * ( 1 m²/100² cm²)

= 1.963 * 10^⁻³ m²

Now,

we write down the conversation mass relation which is stated as follows:

Q₁ = Q₂

Where Q₁ and Q₂ are both the flow rate at the exist and inlet.

We now insert A₁V₁ for Q₁ and A₂V₂ for Q₂

So,

V₁ and V₂ are defined as the velocities at the inlet and exit

We now insert 5.0265 * 10^⁻³ m² for A₁ 5 m/s for V₁ and 1.963 * 10^⁻³ m² for A₂

= 5.0265 * 5 = 1.963 * V₂

V₂ = 12.8 m/s

simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycl

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 764.45K

b) 210.48 kJ/kg

c) 30.14%

Explanation:

pressure ratio = 10

minimum temperature = 295 k

maximum temperature = 1240 k

isentropic efficiency for compressor = 83%

Isentropic efficiency for turbine = 87%

a) Air temperature at turbine exit

we can achieve this by interpolating for enthalpy

h4 = 783.05 kJ/kg ( calculated in the background ) at state 4 using Table A-17 for Ideal gas properties of air

T4 ( temperature at Turbine exit ) = 760 + ( 780 - 760 ) $(\frac{783.05-778.18}{800.13-778.18} )$ = 764.45K

b) The net work output

first we determine the actual work input to compressor

Wc = h2 - h1 ( calculated values )

= 626.57 - 295.17 = 331.4 kJ/kg

next determine the actual work done by Turbine

Wt = h3 - h4 ( calculated values )

= 1324.93 - 783.05 = 541.88 kJ/kg

finally determine the network output of the cycle

Wnet = Wt - Wc

= 541.88 - 331.4 = 210.48 kJ/kg

c) determine thermal efficiency

лth = Wnet / qin ------ ( 1 )

where ; qin = h3 - h2

equation 1 becomes

лth = Wnet / ( h3 - h2 )

= 210.48 / ( 1324.93 - 626.57 )

= 0.3014 = 30.14%

Convert 25 mm into in.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

25 mm = 0.984252 inches

Explanation:

Millimeter and inches are both units of distance. The conversion of millimeter into inches is shown below:

1 mm = 1/25.4 inches

From the question, we have to convert 25 mm into inches

Thus,

25 mm = (1/25.4)*25 inches

So,

$25 mm=\frac{25}{25.4} inches$

Thus, solving we get:

25 mm = 0.984252 inches

An ideal gas undergoes two processes: one frictionless and the other not. In both the cases, the gas is initially at 200 ℉ and 1

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The process which has friction

Explanation:

The entropy is simply the change in the state of the things or the molecules in the system. It is simply the change in the energy of the system with a focus on the atoms in the system. This is also known as the internal energy of the system and is given the symbol, G. The friction contributes to the change in the energy of the system. This is because friction generates another form of energy - that is heat energy. This energy causes the internal temperature id the system to increase. Hence the greater change in the temperature.

A heat pump with an ideal compressor operates between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa. Refrigerant R134a flows through the system at a rate of

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s

Explanation:

Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:

At State A:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:

ha = 244.5 KJ/kg

Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k

At State B:

Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,

Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg

From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:

hb = 256.85 KJ/kg (By interpolation)

At State C:

From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:

hc = 107.34 KJ/kg

Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:

Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)

m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)

where,

m = mass flow rate = ?

Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)

Heat Loss = 52.753 KW

Therefore,

m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)

m = 0.352 kg/s
