An automobile weighing 2500 lbf increases its gravitational potential energy by a magnitude of 2.25 × 104 Btu in going from an e

Mila [183]

Answer:

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Explanation:

The automobile weight is 2500 lbf.

The automobile increases its gravitational potential energy in $2.25 * 10^4 BTU$ . It means the mobile has increased its elevation.

The initial elevation is of 5183 ft.

The first step is to convert Btu of potential energy to adequate units to work with data previously presented.

British Thermal Unit - $1 BTU = 778.17 lbf*ft$

$2.25 * 10^4 BTU (\frac{778.17 lbf*ft}{1BTU} ) = 1.75 * 10^7 lbf * ft$

Now we have the gravitational potential energy in lbf*ft. Weight of the mobile is in lbf and the elevation is in ft. We can evaluate the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows:

$Ep = m*g*(h_2 - h_1)\\ W = m*g$

Where m is the mass of the automobile, g is the gravity, W is the weight of the automobile showed in the problem.

$h_2$ is the final elevation and $h_1$ is the initial elevation.

Replacing W in the Ep equation

$Ep = W*(h_2 -h_1)\\(h_2 -h_1) = \frac{Ep}{W} \\h_2 = h_1 + \frac{Ep}{W}\\\\$

Finally, the next step is to replace the variables of the problem.

$h_2 = 5183 ft + \frac{1.75 * 10^7 lbf*ft}{2500 lbf}\\h_2 = 5183 ft + 70003.5 ft\\h_2 = 12186.5 ft$

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Steam at a pressure of 100 bar and temperature of 600 °C enters an adiabatic nozzle with a velocity of 35 m/s. It leaves the noz

butalik [34]

Answer:

Exit velocity $V_2=1472.2$ m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

At inlet:

$P_1=100 bar,T_=600°C,V_1=35m/s$

Properties of steam at 100 bar and 600°C

$h_1=3624.7\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

At exit:Lets take exit velocity $V_2$

We know that if we know only one property inside the dome then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

Given that dryness or quality of steam at the exit of nozzle is 0.85 and pressure P=80 bar.So from steam table we can find the other properties.

Properties of saturated steam at 80 bar

$h_f= 1316.61\frac{KJ}{Kg} ,h_g= 2757.8\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

So the enthalpy of steam at the exit of turbine

$h_2=h_f+x(h_g-h_f)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$h_2=1316.61+0.85(2757.8-1316.61)\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

$h_2=2541.62\frac{KJ}{Kg}$

Now from first law for open system

$h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}+w$

In the case of adiabatic nozzle Q=0,W=0

$3624.7+\dfrac{35^2}{2000}+0=2541.62+\dfrac{(V_2)^2}{2000}+0$

$V_2=1472.2$ m/s

So Exit velocity $V_2=1472.2$ m/s.

3. (a) (5 points) Suppose N packets arrive simultaneously to a link at which no packets are currently being transmitted or queue

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

(N-1) × (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

Explanation:

let L is length of packet

R is rate

N is number of packets

then

first packet arrived with 0 delay

Second packet arrived at = L/R

Third packet arrived at = 2L/R

Nth packet arrived at = (n-1)L/R

Total queuing delay = L/R + 2L/R + ... + (n - 1)L/R = L(n - 1)/2R

Now

L / R = (1000) / (10^6 ) s = 1 ms

L/2R = 0.5 ms

average queuing delay for N packets = (N-1) * (L/2R) = (N-1)/2

the average queuing delay of a packet = 0 ( put N=1)
