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

Artemon [7]

Answer:

a) The mechanical force is -226.2 N

b) Using the coenergy the mechanical force is -226.2 N

Explanation:

a) Energy of the system:

\lambda =\frac{1.2*i^{1/2} }{g} \\i=(\frac{\lambda g}{1.2} )^{2}

\frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }

f_{m}=- \frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =-\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }

If i = 2A and g = 10 cm

\lambda =\frac{1.2*i^{1/2} }{g} =\frac{1.2*2^{1/2} }{10x10^{-2} } =16.97

f_{m}=-\frac{g^{2}\lambda ^{3}  }{3*1.2^{2} }=-\frac{16.97^{3}*2*0.1 }{3*1.2^{2} } =-226.2N

b) Using the coenergy of the system:

f_{m}=- \frac{\delta w_{f} }{\delta g} =-\frac{1.2*2*i^{3/2}  }{3*g^{2} }=-\frac{1.2*2*2^{3/2} }{3*0.1^{2} } =-226.2N

Steam at 40 bar and 500o C enters the first-stage turbine with a volumetric flow rate of 90 m3 /min. Steam exits the turbine at
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(a) 62460 kg/hr

(b) 17,572.95 kW

(c) 3,814.57 kW

Explanation:

Volumetric flow rate, G = 30 m³ / 1 min => 90 / 60 => 1.5

Calculate for h₁ , h₂ , h₃

h₁ is h at P = 40 bar, 500°C => 3445.84 KJ/Kg

Specific volume steam, ц = 0.086441 m³kg⁻¹

h₂ is h at P = 20 bar, 400°C => 3248.23 KJ/Kg

h₃ is h at P = 20 bar, 500°C => 3468.09 KJ/Kg

h₄ is hg at P = 0.6 bar from saturated water table => 2652.85 KJ/Kg

a)

Mass flow rate of the steam, m = G / ц

m = 1.5 / 0.086441

m = 17.35 kg/s

mass per hour is m = 62460 kg/hr

b)

Total Power produced by two stages

= m (h₁ - h₂) + m (h₃ - h₁)

= m [(3445.84 - 3248.23) + (3468.09 - 2652.85)]

= m [ 197.61 + 815.24 ]

= 17.35 [1012.85]

= 17,572.95 kW

c)

Rate of heat transfer to the steam through reheater

= m (h₃ - h₂)

= 17.35 x (3468.09 - 3248.23)

= 17.35 x 219.86

= 3,814.57 kW

Murljashka [212]

A 260 ft (79.25m) length of size 4 AWG uncoated copper wire operating at a temperature of 75°c has a resistance of 0.0792 ohm.

Explanation:

From the given data the area of size 4 AWG of the code is 21.2 mm², then K is the Resistivity of the material at 75°c is taken as ( 0.0214 ohm mm²/m ).

To find the resistance of 260 ft (79.25 m) of size 4 AWG,

R= K * L/ A

K = 0.0214 ohm mm²/m

L = 79.25 m

A = 21.2 mm²

R = 0.0214 * \frac{79.25}{21.2}

  = 0.0214 * 3.738

  = 0.0792 ohm.

Thus the resistance of uncoated copper wire is 0.0792 ohm
