A hair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces

it to flow over the resistors, where it is heated. Air enters a 1400-W hair dryer at 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 47°C. The cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. Neglect the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K. Also, cp = 1.007 kJ/kg·K for air at room temperature.

(a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and

(b) the velocity of the air at the exit.

Answer:

a) volume flow rate of air at the inlet is 0.0471 m³/s

b) the velocity of the air at the exit is  8.517 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

The electrical power Input W_elec = -1400 W = -1.4 kW

Inlet temperature of air T_in = 22°C

Inlet pressure of air p_in = 100 kPa

Exit temperature T_out = 47°C

Exit area of the dyer is A_out = 60 cm²= 0.006 m²

cp = 1.007 kJ/kg·K

R = 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K

Using mass balance

m_in = m_out = m_air

W _elec = m_air ( h_in - h_out)

we know that h = CpT

so

W _elec = m_air.Cp ( T_in - T_out)

we substitute

-1.4 = m_air.1.007 ( 22 - 47 )

-1.4 =  - m_air.25.175

m_air = -1.4 / - 25.175

m_ air = 0.0556 kg/s

a) volume flow rate of air at the inlet

we know that

m_air = P_in × V_in

now from the ideal gas equation

P_in = p_in / RT_in

we substitute our values

= (100×10³) / ((0.287×10³)(22+273))

= 100000 / 84665

P_in = 1.18 kg/m³

therefore inlet volume flowrate will be;

V_in = m_air / P_in

= 0.0556 / 1.18

= 0.0471 m³/s

the volume flow rate of air at the inlet is 0.0471 m³/s

b) velocity of the air at the exit

the mass flow rate remains unchanged across the duct

m_ air = P_in.A_in.V_in = P_out.A_out.V_out

still from the ideal gas equation

P_out = p_out/ RT_out   ( assume p_in = p_out)

P_out = (100×10³) / ((0.287×10³)(47+273))

P_out  = 1.088 kg/m³

so the exit velocity will be;

V_out = m_air / P_out.A_out

we substitute our values

V_out = 0.0556 / ( 1.088 × 0.006)

= 0.0556 / 0.006528

= 8.517 m/s

 Therefore the velocity of the air at the exit is  8.517 m/s

Calculate the wire pressure for a round copper bar with an original cross-sectional area of 12.56 mm2 to a 30% reduction of area
dybincka [34]

Answer:153.76 MPa

Explanation:

Initial Area\left ( A_0\right )=12.56 mm^2

Final Area\left ( A_f\right )=0.7\times 12.56 mm^2=8.792 mm^2

Die angle=30^{\circ}

\alpha =\frac{30}{2}=15^{\circ}

\mu =0.08

Yield stress\left ( \sigma _y \right )=350 MPa

B=\mu cot\left ( \aplha\right )=0.2985

\sigma _{pressure}=\sigma _y\left [\frac{1+B}{B}\right ]\left [ 1-\frac{A_f}{A_0}\right ]^B

\sigma _{pressure}=350\left [\frac{1+0.2985}{0.2985}\right ]\left [ 1-\frac{8.792}{12.56}\right ]^{0.2985}

\sigma _{pressure}=153.76 MPa

What is a ton of refrigeration?
AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

The unit refrigeration is generally is given in terms of tons.In refrigeration compressor consume some amount of work to produce the cooling effect  with the help of evaporator and condenser.

In the simple words ton is the cooling load of refrigeration system.

So  

1 ton = 3.5 KW

1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hr

A company purchases a certain kind of electronic device from a manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1) The probability of at least 1 defective is approximately 45.621%

2) The probability that there will be exactly 3 shipments each containing at least 1 defective device among the 20 devices that are tested from the shipment is approximately 16.0212%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The defective rate of the device = 3%

Therefore, the probability that a selected device will be defective, p = 3/100

The probability of at least one defective item in 20 items inspected is given by binomial theorem as follows;

The probability that a device is mot defective, q = 1 - p = 1 - 3/100 = 97/100 = 0.97

The probability of 0 defective in 20 = ₂₀C₀(0.03)⁰·(0.97)²⁰ ≈ 0.543794342927

The probability of at least 1 = 1 - The probability of 0 defective in 20

∴ The probability of at least 1 = 1 - 0.543794342927 = 0.45621

The probability of at least 1 defective ≈ 0.45621 = 45.621%

2) The probability of at least 1 defective in a shipment, p ≈ 0.45621

Therefore, the probability of not exactly 1 defective = q = 1 - p

∴ q ≈ 1 - 0.45621 = 0.54379

The probability of exactly 3 shipment with at least 1 defective, P(Exactly 3 with at least 1) is given as follows;

P(Exactly 3 with at least 1) = ₁₀C₃(0.45621)³(0.54379)⁷ ≈ 0.160212

Therefore, the probability that there will be exactly 3 shipments each containing at least 1 defective device among the 20 devices that are tested from the shipment is 16.0212%
