A box-shaped aquarium has horizontal dimensions 0.5 m by 1 m, and depth 0.5 m, and is filled two-thirds of the way to the surfac

e. As it is being transported downwards in an elevator, someone accidentally presses the emergency stop button, such that the elevator comes to rest with a deceleration of magnitude 2g, where the gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 . Calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and the surface of the tank.

Answer:

3270 N/m^2

Explanation:

we can calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and surface of the tank by applying the equation for the net vertical pressure

Py = - Ph ( g ± a )

for a downward movement

Py = - Ph ( g - a )  ------ ( 1 )

From the above data given will  be

p = 1000 kg/m^3, h = 2/3 * 0.5 = 0.33 m , a =2g , g = 9.81

input values into equation 1  becomes

Py =  -Ph ( g - 2g ) = Phg ------ ( 3 )

Py = 1000 * 0.33 * 9.81

    = 3270 N/m^2

An air conditioner removes heat steadily from a house at a rate of 750 kJ/min while drawing electric power at a rate of 6 kW. De
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a. 2.08, b. 1110 kJ/min

Explanation:

The power consumption and the cooling rate of an air conditioner are given. The COP or Coefficient of Performance and the rate of heat rejection are to be determined. <u>Assume that the air conditioner operates steadily.</u>

a. The coefficient of performance of the air conditioner (refrigerator) is determined from its definition, which is

COP(r) = Q(L)/W(net in), where Q(L) is the rate of heat removed and W(net in) is the work done to remove said heat

COP(r) = (750 kJ/min/6 kW) x (1 kW/60kJ/min) = 2.08

The COP of this air conditioner is 2.08.

b. The rate of heat discharged to the outside air is determined from the energy balance.

Q(H) = Q(L) + W(net in)

Q(H) = 750 kJ/min + 6 x 60 kJ/min = 1110 kJ/min

The rate of heat transfer to the outside air is 1110 kJ for every minute.

A cylindrical specimen of steel has an original diameter of 12.8 mm. It is tested in tension its engineering fracture strength i
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) The ductility = -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa

Explanation:

Given that;

Original diameter d_{o} = 12.8 mm

Final diameter d_{f} = 10.7

Engineering stress  \alpha _{E} = 460 Mpa

a) determine The ductility in terms of percent reduction in area;

Ai = π/4(d_{o} )²  ; Ag = π/4(d_{f} )²

% = π/4 [ ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / ( π/4  (d_{o} )²) ]

= ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / (d_{o} )² × 100

we substitute

= [( (10.7)² - (12.8)²) / (12.8)² ] × 100

= [(114.49 - 163.84) / 163.84 ] × 100

= - 0.3012 × 100

= -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) The true stress at fracture;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = \alpha _{E} ( 1 +  E_{E} )

E_{E}  is engineering strain

E_{E}  = dL / Lo

= (do² - df²) / df² = (12.8² - 10.7²) / 10.7² = (163.84 - 114.49) / 114.49

= 49.35 / 114.49  

E_{E} = 0.431

so we substitute the value of E_{E}  into our initial equation;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 ( 1 +  0.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 (1.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 658.26 Mpa

Therefore, the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa
