A plate and frame heat exchanger has 15 plates made of stainless steel that are 1 m tall. The plates are 1 mm thick and 0.6 m wi

de and are spaced 4.8 mm apart. The exchanger is used to cool water. The volume flow rate of this water is 0.011 m3/s, and its inlet temperature is 30 C. Raw water is the cooling medium. It enters the exchanger at 6 C with a volume flow rate of 0.02 m3/s. Calculate the outlet temperatures.

Answer:

14.506°C

Explanation:

Given data :

flow rate of water been cooled = 0.011 m^3/s

inlet temp = 30°C + 273 = 303 k

cooling medium temperature = 6°C  + 273 = 279 k

flow rate of cooling medium = 0.02 m^3/s

Determine the outlet temperature

we can determine the outlet temperature by applying the relation below

Heat gained by cooling medium = Heat lost by water

= ( Mcp ( To - 6 )  =  Mcp ( 30 - To )

since the properties of water and the cooling medium ( water ) is the same

= 0.02 ( To - 6 ) = 0.011 ( 30 - To )

= 1.82 ( To - 6 ) = 30 - To

hence To ( outlet temperature ) = 14.506°C

I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr
Alina [70]

Answer:

Δx = 25 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:

1 ) Egg falling:

If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:

yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²

If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:

0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²

⇒ t = \sqrt{(100*2)/32.15} = 2.5 sec.

2) Person on the ground running away:

In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.

We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:

v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:

xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.

A 600-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 54 percent. Determine the rate of hea
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.

Explanation:

The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H} - \dot W

\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{\eta_{th}}-1 )\cdot \dot W\\\dot Q_{L} = (\frac{1}{0.54}-1)\cdot (600 MW)\\\dot Q _{L} = 511.111 MW

The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.

A horizontal curve of a two-lane undivided highway (12-foot lanes) has a radius of 678 feet to the center line of the roadway. A
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

maximum speed for safe vehicle operation = 55mph

Explanation:

Given data :

radius ( R ) = 678 ft

old building located ( m )= 30 ft

super elevation = 0.06

<u>Determine the maximum speed for safe vehicle operation </u>

firstly calculate the stopping sight distance

m = R ( 1 - cos \frac{28.655*S}{R} )  ----  ( 1 )

R = 678  

m ( horizontal sightline ) = 30 ft

back to equation 1

30 = 678 ( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )

( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )  = 30 / 678 = 0.044

cos \frac{28.65 *s }{678}  = 1.044

hence ; 28.65 * s = 678 * 0.2956

s = 6.99 ≈ 7 ft

next we will calculate the design speed ( u ) using the formula below

S = 1.47 ut  + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{3.2} )-G1}  ----  ( 2 )

t = reaction time,  a = vehicle acceleration, G1 = grade percentage

assuming ; t = 2.5 sec , a = 11.2 ft/sec^2, G1 = 0

back to equation 2

6.99 = 1.47 * u * 2.5 + \frac{u^2}{30[(11.2/32.2)-0 ]}

3.675 u  + 0.0958 u^2 - 6.99 = 0

u ( 3.675 + 0.0958 u ) = 6.99
