A mountain bike has a sprocket and chain drive system designed to adjust the force needed by an operator. The system consists of

one sprocket driven by the pedals with a diameter of 10 inches, and a second on the back wheel with a diameter of 6.5 inches. If the operator is pedaling at 40 rpm, what is the output speed on the back tire? O 35.72 rpm 0 26 rpm 0 53.24 rpm 0 61.53 rpm

Answer:

B. 26 rpm

Explanation:

The sprocket has a diameter of 10 in

The back wheel has a diameter of 6.5 in

One complete revolution formula is : 2πr -------where r is radius

For the sprocket , one revolution = π * D where D=2r

π * 10 = 31.4 in

For the back wheel, one revolution = π* 6.5 = 20.42 in

The pedaling rate is : 40 rpm

Finding the ratio of revolutions between the sprocket and the back tire.

In one revolution; the sprocket covers 31.4 in while the back tire covers 20.42 in so the ratio is;

20.42/ 31.4 = 0.65

So if the speed in the sprocket is 40 rpm then that in the back tire will be;

40 * 0.65 = 26 rpm

In the construction of a large reactor pressure vessel, a new steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa-m1/2

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$l=24mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Plane strain fracture toughness of $T=55 MPa-m1/2$

Y value $Y=1.0$

Stress level of $\sigma =200 MPa$

Generally the equation for length of a surface crack is mathematically given by

$l=\frac{1}{\pi}(\frac{T}{Y*\sigma})^2$

$l=\frac{1}{3.142}(\frac{55}{1*200})^2$

$l=0.024m$

Therefore

in mm

$l=24mm$

A thermoelectric refrigerator is powered by a 16-V power supply that draws 2.9 A of current. If the refrigerator cools down 3.1

Viktor [21]

Answer:

COP = 0.090

Explanation:

The general formula for COP is:

COP = Desired Output/Required Input

Here,

Desired Output = Heat removed from water while cooling

Desired Output = (Specific Heat of Water)(Mass of Water)(Change in Temperature)/Time

Desired Output = [(4180 J/kg.k)(3.1 kg)(25 - 11)k]/[(12 hr)(3600 sec/hr)]

Desired Output = 4.199 W

And the required input can be given as electrical power:

Required Input = Electrical Power = (Current)(Voltage)

Required Input = (2.9 A)(16 V) = 46.4 W

Therefore:

COP = 4.199 W/46.4 W

<u>COP = 0.090</u>

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is $32^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$C_{p}$ = 1000 J/kg K, R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

$P_{1}$ = 100 kPa, $V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s$

$T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K$

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

$P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}$

or, m = $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}$

= 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

$mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W$

$h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}$

$C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}$

$(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}$

$(T_{2} - T_{1})$ = 5 K

$T_{2}$ = 5 K + 300 K

$T_{2}$ = 305 K

= (305 K - 273 K)

= $32^{o}C$

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is $32^{o}C$ .
