Answer:

$Hr=4.2*10^7\ btu/hr$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Water flow Rate $R=4.5slug/s=144.78ib/sec$

Initial Temperature $T_1=60 \textdegree F$

Final Temperature $T_2=140 \textdegree F$

Let

Specific heat of water $\gamma= 1$

And

$\triangle T= 140-60$

$\triangle T= 80\ Deg.F$

Generally the equation for Heat transfer rate of water $H_r$ is mathematically given by

Heat transfer rate to water= mass flow rate* specific heat* change in temperature

$H_r=R* \gamma*\triangle T$

$H_r=144.78*80*1$

$H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec$

Therefore

$H_r=11582.4\ btu/sec*3600$

$Hr=4.2*10^7\ btu/hr$

An aluminium alloy tube has a length of 750 mm at a temperature of 223°C. What will be its length at 23°C if its coefficient of

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Final length= 746.175 mm

Explanation:

Given that Length of aluminium at 223 C is 750 mm.As we know that when temperature of material increases or decreases then dimensions of material also increases or decreases respectively with temperature.

Here temperature of aluminium decreases so the final length of aluminium decreases .

As we know that

$\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T$

Now by putting the values

$\Delta L=750\times \25.5\times 10^{-6}\times 200$

ΔL=3.82 mm

So final length =750-3.82 mm

Final length= 746.175 mm

4.2 A vapor compression refrigeration machine uses 30kW of electric power to produce 50 tons of cooling. What is

stellarik [79]

Answer:

5.833

Explanation:

Coefficient of Perfomance (COP) is the ratio of refrigeration effect to power input.

$COP=\frac {RE}{P}$ where RE is refrigeration effect and P is power input

Here, the power input is given as 30 kW

We also know that 1 ton cooling is equivalent to 3.5 kW hence for 50 tons, RE=50*3.5=175 kW

Now the $COP=\frac {175}{30}=5.833$

what is an example of an innovative solution to an engineering problem? Explain briefly why you chose this answer.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

robotic technology

Explanation:

Innovation is nothing but the use of various things such as ideas, products, people to build up a solution for the benefit of the human. It can be any product or any solution which is new and can solve people's problems.

Innovation solution makes use of technology to provide and dispatch new solutions or services which is a combination of both technology and ideas.

One such example of an innovative solution we can see is the use of "Robots" in medical science or in any military operations or rescue operation.

Sometimes it is difficult for humans to do everything or go to everywhere. Thus scientist and engineers have developed many advance robots or machines using new ideas and technology to find solutions to these problems.

Using innovations and technologies, one can find solutions to many problems which is difficult for the peoples. Robots can be used in any surveillance operation or in places of radioactive surrounding where there is a danger of humans to get exposed to such threats. They are also used in medical sciences to operate and support the patient.

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

$\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2} }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

$32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

$\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}$

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

$\sigma _{p1} +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi$ (equation 1)

$\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi$ equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero
