Comparison of copper and aluminium conductors looking at their properties

Engineering
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The density of the copper is higher than aluminium. Hence it is heavier compared to aluminium conductors it requires strong structures and hardware to bear the weight. More ductile and has high tensile strength.

...

Aluminium & Copper properties.

Property Copper (Cu) Aluminium (Al)

Density (g/cm3) 8.96 2.70

Determine the following parameters for the water having quality x=0.7 at 200 kPa:
ra1l [238]

Solution :

Given :

Water have quality x = 0.7 (dryness fraction) at around pressure of 200 kPa

The phase diagram is provided below.

a). The phase is a standard mixture.

b). At pressure, p = 200 kPa, T = $T_{saturated}$

   Temperature = 120.21°C

c). Specific volume

  $v_{f}= 0.001061, \ \ v_g=0.88578 \ m^3/kg$

  $v_x=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

       $=0.001061+0.7(0.88578-0.001061)$

       $=0.62036 \ m^3/kg$

d). Specific energy (u_x)

    $u_f=504.5 \ kJ/kg, \ \ u_{fg}=2024.6 \ kJ/kg$

   $u_x=504.5 + 0.7(2024.6)$

         $=1921.72 \ kJ/kg$

e). Specific enthalpy $(h_x)$

   At $h_f = 504.71, \ \ h_{fg} = 2201.6$

   h_x=504.71+(0.7\times 2201.6)

        $= 2045.83 \ kJ/kg$

f). Enthalpy at m = 0.5 kg

  $H=mh_x$

       $= 0.5 \times 2045.83$

       = 1022.91 kJ

A number 12 copper wire has a diameter of 2.053 mm. Calculate the resistance of a 37.0 m long piece of such wire.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

R=1923Ω

Explanation:

Resistivity(R) of copper wire at 20 degrees Celsius is 1.72x10^-8Ωm.

Coil length(L) of the wire=37.0m

Cross-sectional area of the conductor or wire (A) = πr^2

A= π * (2.053/1000)/2=3.31*10^-6

To calculate for the resistance (R):

R=ρ*L/A

R=(1.72*10^8)*(37.0)/(3.31*10^-6)

R=1922.65Ω

Approximately, R=1923Ω

A manometer containing a fluid with a density of 60 lbm/ft3 is attached to a tank filled with air. If the gage pressure of the a
8090 [49]

Answer:

The fluid level difference in the manometer arm = 22.56 ft.

Explanation:

Assumption: The fluid in the manometer is incompressible, that is, its density is constant.

The fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer gives the gage pressure of the air in the tank.

And P(gage) = ρgh

ρ = density of the manometer fluid = 60 lbm/ft³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

ρg = 60 × 32.2 = 1932 lbm/ft²s²

ρg = 1932 lbm/ft²s² × 1lbf.s²/32.2lbm.ft = 60 lbf/ft³

h = fluid level difference between the two arms of the manometer = ?

P(gage) = 9.4 psig = 9.4 × 144 = 1353.6 lbf/ft²

1353.6 = ρg × h = 60 lbf/ft³ × h

h = 1353.6/60 = 22.56 ft

A diagrammatic representation of this setup is presented in the attached image.

Hope this helps!

Five hundred gallons of 89-octane gasoline is obtained by mixing 87-octane gasoline with 92-octane gasoline. (a) Write a system
miskamm [114]

Explanation:

a) The total volume equals the sum of the volumes.

500 = x + y

The total octane amount equals the sum of the octane amounts.

89(500) = 87x + 92y

44500 = 87x + 92y

b) desmos.com/calculator/ekegkzllqx

As x increases, y decreases.

c) Use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.

44500 = 87x + 92(500−x)

44500 = 87x + 46000 − 92x

5x = 1500

x = 300

y = 200

The required volumes are 300 gallons of 87 gasoline and 200 gallons of 92 gasoline.
