An individual is planning to take an 800-mile trip between two large cities. Three pos-sibilities exist: air, rail, or auto. The

person is willing to pay $25 for every hour savedin making the trip. The trip by air costs $600 and travel time is 8 hours, by rail the costis $450 and travel time is 16 hours, and by auto the cost is $200 and travel time is 20 hours.
(a) Which mode is the best choice?
(b) What factors other than cost might influence the decision regarding which mode to use?

Answer:

1. Auto is the best mode since it is the cheapest

2. Safety, reliability, convenience should be considered

Explanation:

1.

This person is willing to pay $25 per hour.

To get the mode, which is the best choice I used this formula

Cost of trip + 25T

T = time or number of hours

By air travel

Cost = $600, T = 8 hours

600+25(8)

= 600+200

= 800 dollars

By rail,

Cost = $450

T = 16 hours

450+25(16)

= 450+400

= 850 dollars

By auto,

Cost = $200

T = 20 hours

200+25(20)

= 200+500

= 700 dollars

From these calculations the cost of Traveling by auto is the cheapest so it is the best mode.

2. Other factors to consider when choosing an alternative mode of transport

A. Safety: this transportation material should be able to get to it's destination without any form of damages happening

B. Reliability: the material should be able to fulfill it's requirements

C. Convenience: in terms of availability per day and also the frequency of traveling time

_______ is a material property that pertains to local resistance to plastic deformation, such as scratching or denting. It is of

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: hardness

Explanation:

Hardness is a measure of a material's ability to resist plastic deformation. In other words, it is a measure of how resistant material is to denting or scratching. Diamond, for example, is a very hard material. It is extremely difficult to dent or scratch a diamond. In contrast, it is very easy to scratch or dent most plastics.

determine the position d of the 6- kn load so that the average normal stress in each rod is the same.

Zinaida [17]

The load is placed at distance 0.4 L from the end of $$12 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$ area.

<h3>What is meant by torque?</h3>

The force that can cause an object to rotate along an axis is measured as torque. Similar to how force accelerates an item in linear kinematics, torque accelerates an object in an angular direction. A vector quantity is torque.

Let the beam is of length L

Now the stress on both the end is the same now we can say that torque on the beam due to two forces must be zero

$N_1 * x=N_2 *(L-x)$

also, we know that stress at both ends are same

$\frac{N_1}{12}=\frac{N_2}{8}$

$2 * N_1=3 * N_2$

Now from two equations we have

$$\frac{3}{2} N_2 * x=N_2 *(L-x)$

solving the above equation we have

$$x=\frac{2}{5} L$

so the load is placed at distance 0.4 L from the end of $$12 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$ area.

The complete question is:

47. the beam is supported by two rods ab and cd that have cross-sectional areas of $$$12mm^2$ and $$$8mm^2$ , respectively. determine the position d of the 6-kn load so that the average normal stress in each rod is the same.

11–17 A long, thin-walled double-pipe heat exchanger with tube and shell diameters of 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively, is used t

lana [24]

Answer:

the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger is 1855.8923 W/m²°C

Explanation:

Given:

d₁ = diameter of the tube = 1 cm = 0.01 m

d₂ = diameter of the shell = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Refrigerant-134a

20°C is the temperature of water

h₁ = convection heat transfer coefficient = 4100 W/m² K

Water flows at a rate of 0.3 kg/s

Question: Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger, Q = ?

First at all, you need to get the properties of water at 20°C in tables:

k = 0.598 W/m°C

v = 1.004x10⁻⁶m²/s

Pr = 7.01

ρ = 998 kg/m³

Now, you need to calculate the velocity of the water that flows through the shell:

$v_{w} =\frac{m}{\rho \pi (\frac{d_{2}^{2}-d_{1}^{2} }{4} )} =\frac{0.3}{998*\pi (\frac{0.025^{2}-0.01^{2} }{4}) } =0.729m/s$

It is necessary to get the Reynold's number:

$Re=\frac{v_{w}(d_{2}-d_{1}) }{v} =\frac{0.729*(0.025-0.01)}{1.004x10^{-6} } =10891.4343$

Like the Reynold's number is greater than 10000, the regime is turbulent. Now, the Nusselt's number:

$Nu=0.023Re^{0.8} Pr^{0.4} =0.023*(10891.4343)^{0.8} *(7.01)^{0.4} =85.0517$

The overall heat transfer coefficient:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{h_{1} }+\frac{1}{h_{2} } }$

Here

$h_{2} =\frac{kNu}{d_{2}-d_{1}} =\frac{0.598*85.0517}{0.025-0.01} =3390.7278W/m^{2}C$

Substituting values:

$Q=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4100}+\frac{1}{3390.7278} } =1855.8923W/m^{2} C$
