This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An air-standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 350 and 1200 K. The pressures before and after the isothermal compression are 150 and 300 kPa, respectively. If the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ, determine (a) the maximum pressure in the cycle, (b) the heat transfer to air, and (c) the mass of air. Assume variable specific heats for air.

Answer:

a) the maximum pressure in the cycle is 30.01 Mpa

b) the heat transfer to air is 0.7058 KJ

c) mass of Air is 0.002957 kg

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

We find the relative pressure of air at 1200 K (T1) and 350 K ( T4)

so from the "ideal gas properties of air table"

Pr1 = 238

Pr4 = 2.379

we know that Pressure P1 is only maximum at the beginning of the expansion process,

so

now we express the relative pressure and pressure relation for the process 4-1

P1 = (Pr2/Pr4)P4

so we substitute

P1 = (238/2.379)300 kPa

P1 = 30012.6 kPa = 30.01 Mpa

Therefore the maximum pressure in the cycle is 30.01 Mpa

b)

the Thermal heat efficiency of the Carnot cycle is expressed as;

ηth = 1 - (TL/TH)

we substitute

ηth = 1 - (350K/1200K)

ηth = 1 - 0.2916

ηth = 0.7084

now we find the heat transferred

Qin = W_net.out / ηth

given that the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ

we substitute

Qin = 0.5 / 0.7084

Qin = 0.7058 KJ

Therefore, the heat transfer to air is 0.7058 KJ

c)

first lets express the change in entropy for process 3 - 4

S4 - S3 = (S°4 - S°3) - R.In(P4/P3)

S4 - S3 = - (0.287 kJ/Kg.K) In(300/150)kPa

= -0.1989 Kj/Kg.K = S1 - S2

so that; S2 - S1 = 0.1989 Kj/Kg.K

Next we find the net work output per unit mass for the Carnot cycle

W"_netout = (S2 - S1)(TH - TL)

we substitute

W"_netout = ( 0.1989 Kj/Kg.K )( 1200 - 350)K

= 169.065 kJ/kg

Finally we find the mass

mass m = W_ net.out /  W"_netout

we substitute

m = 0.5 / 169.065

m = 0.002957 kg

Therefore, mass of Air is 0.002957 kg

A belt drive was designed to transmit the power of P=7.5 kW with the velocity v=10m/s. The tensile load of the tight side is twi
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

F₁ = 1500 N

F₂ = 750 N

F_{e} = 500 N

Explanation:

Given :

Power transmission, P = 7.5 kW

                                      = 7.5 x 1000 W

                                      = 7500 W

Belt velocity, V = 10 m/s

F₁ = 2 F₂

Now we know from power transmission equation

P = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x V

7500 = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x 10

750 =  F₁ - F₂

750 = 2 F₂ - F₂      ( ∵F₁ = 2 F₂ )

∴F₂  = 750 N

Now F₁ = 2 F₂

        F₁ = 2 x F₂

        F₁ = 2 x 750

        F₁ = 1500 N   ,   this is the maximum force.

Therefore we know,

F_{max} = 3 x F_{e}

where F_{e} is centrifugal force

 F_{e} = F_{max} / 3

                          = 1500 / 3

                         = 500 N

What is the function maintenance? List some important steps for vibration monitoring based maintenance.
Mrrafil [7]

The maintenance is in charge of controlling that all the machines of a company are constantly running in order to avoid damages that cause loss of money when the machines fail.

The maintenance based on vibration monitoring allows to predict failures in some rotating machines such as:

1. worn bearings

2.alignment

3.balance

4. affected gears

5. bent shafts

6. rocks

7.gags

8. eccentricity

9. failures of electrical origin

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu
