A heating system must maintain the interior of a building at TH = 20 °C when the outside temperature is TC = 2 °C. If the rate o

f heat transfer from the building through its walls and roof is 16.4 kW, determine the electrical power required, in kW, to heat the building using (a) electrical-resistance heating, (b) a heat pump whose coefficient of performance is 3.0, (c) a reversible heat pump operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 20 °C and 2 °C, respectively.

Answer:

a) $Q_H=16.4kW$

b) $w=5.467$

c) $w=1.2345$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Interior temperature $TH = 20 °C$

outside temperature is $TC = 2 °C$

Rate $H=16.4kW$

a)

Generally electric resistance heating is the heat transfer from interior building

Therefore

$Q_H=R$

$Q_H=16.4kW$

b)

COP =3

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

$COP=\frac{Q_H}{w}$

Therefore

$w=\frac{Q_H}{COP}$

$w=16.4/3$

$w=5.467$

c)

Generally the equation for coefficient of performance is mathematically given by

$COP_r=\frac{TH}{TH-TC}$

$COP_r=\frac{20+273}{(20+273)-(2+273)}$

$COP_r=16.2$

Therefore

$w=1.2345$

$w=20/16.2$

$w=1.2345$

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 0.26

b) 1077 MPa

Explanation:

a) The following equation can be used to determine the volume fraction:

$\frac{F_f}{F_m} =\frac{E_fV_f}{E_m(1-V_f)}$

$\frac{0.97}{1-0.97} =\frac{260V_f}{2.8(1-V_f)}$

$32.3 = \frac{260V_f}{2.8-2.8V_f}$

$V_f = 0.26$

b) Tensile strength can be found by using the following equation:

$\sigma_{cl} = \sigma_m(1-V_f)+\sigma_fV_f = 50*(1-0.26)+4000*0.26 = 1077$ MPa

A horizontal curve is being designed for a new two-lane highway (12-ft lanes). The PI is at station 250 + 50, the design speed i

kogti [31]

Answer

given,

Speed of vehicle = 65 mi/hr

= 65 x 1.4667 = 95.33 ft/s

e = 0.07 ft/ft

f is the lateral friction, f = 0.11

central angle,Δ = 38°

The PI station is

PI = 250 + 50

= 25050 ft

using super elevation formula

$e + f = \dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

$0.07 + 0.11 =\dfrac{95.33^2}{r\times 32.2}$

$r = \dfrac{95.33^2}{32.2\times 0.18}$

r = 1568 ft

As the road is two lane with width 12 ft

R = 1568 + 12/2

R = 1574 ft

Length of the curve

$L = \dfrac{\piR\Delta}{180}$

$L = \dfrac{\pi\times 1574\times 38}{180}$

L = 1044 ft

Tangent of the curve calculation

$T = R tan(\dfrac{\Delta}{2})$

$T = 1574 tan(\dfrac{38}{2})$

T = 542 ft

The station PC and PT are

PC = PI - T

PC = 25050 - 542

= 24508 ft

= 245 + 8 ft

PT = PC + L

= 24508 + 1044

=25552

= 255 + 52 ft

the middle ordinate calculation

$MO = R(1-cos\dfrac{\Delta}{2})$

$MO = 1574\times (1-cos\dfrac{38}{2})$

MO = 85.75 ft

degree of the curvature

$D = \dfrac{5729.578}{R}$

$D = \dfrac{5729.578}{1574}$

D = 3.64°

A car hits a tree at an estimated speed of 10 mi/hr on a 2% downgrade. If skid marks of 100 ft. are observed on dry pavement (F=

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$v_{o} = 22.703\,\frac{m}{s}$ $\left(50.795\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

Explanation:

The deceleration of the car on the dry pavement is found by the Newton's Law:

$\Sigma F = -\mu_{k,1}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta + m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot a_{1}$

Where:

$a_{1} = (-\mu_{k,1}\cdot \cos \theta + \sin \theta)\cdot g$

$a_{1} = (-0.33\cdot \cos 1.146^{\textdegree}+\sin 1.146^{\textdegree})\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a_{1} = -3.040\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Likewise, the deceleration of the car on the unpaved shoulder is:

$a_{2} = (-\mu_{k,2}\cdot \cos \theta + \sin \theta)\cdot g$

$a_{2} = (-0.28\cdot \cos 1.146^{\textdegree}+\sin 1.146^{\textdegree})\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a_{2} = -2.549\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The speed just before the car entered the unpaved shoulder is:

$v_{o} = \sqrt{\left(4.469\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-2\cdot \left(-2.549\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (60.88\,m)}$

$v_{o} = 18.175\,\frac{m}{s}$

And, the speed just before the pavement skid was begun is:

$v_{o} = \sqrt{\left(18.175\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-2\cdot \left(-3.040\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (30.44\,m)}$

$v_{o} = 22.703\,\frac{m}{s}$ $\left(50.795\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$
