Implement the following Matlab code:

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which

Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

$-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent$

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

<u>AMMONIA </u>

state(1)

saturated vapor $x_{1} =1$

The temperature $T_{1} =0^0 F$

Isothermal process $T=C$

a)

$-V_{2} =2V_{1}$ ( double)

b)

$-V_{2} =.5V_{2}$ (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

$-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb$

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

$-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF$

$at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg$

$at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg$

assume linear interpolation

$\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)} }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }$

$P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2$

b)

$-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}$

from standard data

$-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}$

then the state exist in the wet zone

$-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )$

$x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%$

About ceramics: Only can be optically opaque or semi-transparent. a) True b)-False

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Ceramics have the property that when the band gap present between the atoms are larger than the light energy then the tend to become opaque because the light scattering is caused . They also show the property of being translucent when there are chances of the light to get a path through the surface of ceramic so they get the light at some parts e.g.porcelain .Therefore the statement given is true that ceramics can be optically opaque or semi-transparent(translucent).

Injector orifice patterms and size will affect propellant mixing and distribution. a)-True b)-False

alina1380 [7]

Answer: True

Explanation: Injector orifice is the factor which describes the size of the opening of the injector .There are different pattern and size of the opening for the injector which affects the mixture of the chemical substance that is used for the production of the energy that is known as propellant.

The pattern and size of the orifice will define the variation in the amount of energy that could be produced.Thus the statement given is true.

A water pump delivers 3 hp of shaft power when operating. If the pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet of the p

Natali [406]

Answer:

Mechanical Efficiency = 83.51%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Pressure difference = ΔP=1.2 Psi

Flow rate = $V=8ft^3/s\\$

Power of Pump = 3 hp

Required:

Mechanical Efficiency

Solution:

We will first bring the change the units of given data into SI units.

$P=1.2*6.895 = 8.274KPa\\V=8*0.00283=0.226 m^3/s\\P=3*0.746=2.238KW$

Now we will find the change in energy.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that change in elevation (potential energy) and change in velocity (Kinetic Energy) are negligible.

Thus change in energy is

$=(Mass * change in P)/density\\= \frac{M*P}{p}\\\\$

As we know that Mass = Volume x density

substituting the value

Energy = Volume * density x ΔP / density

Change in energy = Volumetric flow x ΔP

Change in energy = 0.226 x 8.274 = 1.869 KW

Now mechanical efficiency = change in energy / work done by shaft

Efficiency = 1.869 / 2.238

Efficiency = 0.8351 = 83.51%
