Solution :

$P_1 = 120 \ psia$

$P_2 = 20 \ psia$

Using the data table for refrigerant-134a at P = 120 psia

$h_1=h_f=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_1=u_f=40.5485 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_{sat}=87.745^\circ  F$

∴ $h_2=h_1=40.8365 \ Btu/lbm$

For pressure, P = 20 psia

$h_{2f} = 11.445 \ Btu/lbm$

$h_{2g} = 102.73 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2f} = 11.401 \ Btu/lbm$

$u_{2g} = 94.3 \ Btu/lbm$

$T_2=T_{sat}=-2.43^\circ  F$

Change in temperature, $\Delta T = T_2-T_1$

                                         $\Delta T = -2.43-87.745$

                                           $\Delta T=-90.175^\circ  F$

Now we find the quality,

$h_2=h_f+x_2(h_g-h_f)$

$40.8365=11.445+x_2(91.282)$

$x_2=0.32198$

The final energy,

$u_2=u_f+x_2.u_{fg}$

   $=11.401+0.32198(82.898)$

   $=38.09297 \ Btu/lbm$

Change in internal energy  

$\Delta u= u_2-u_1$

   = 38.09297-40.5485

  = -2.4556

.a. What size vessel holds 2 kg water at 80°C such that 70% is vapor? What are the pressure and internal energy? b. A 1.6 m3 ves
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Part a: The volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3 and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b: The quality of the mixture is 90.3%  or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per given data

m=2 kg

T=80 °C =80+273=353 K

Dryness=70% vapour =0.7

<em>From the steam tables at 80 °C</em>

Specific volume of saturated vapours=v_g=3.40527 m^3/kg

Specific volume of saturated liquid=v_f=0.00102 m^3/kg

Now the relation  of total specific volume for a specific dryness value is given as

                                  v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)

Substituting the values give

v=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)\\v=0.00102+0.7(3.40527-0.00102)\\v_f=2.38399 m^3/kg

Now the volume of vessel is given as

v=\frac{V}{m}\\V=v \times m\\V=2.38399 \times 2\\V=4.7680 m^3

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3.

Similarly for T=80 and dryness ratio of 0.7 from the table of steam

Pressure=P=47.4 kPa

Specific internal energy is given as u=1840 kJ/kg

So the total internal energy is given as

u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=1840 \times 2\\U=3680 kJ

The total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

So the volume of vessel is 4.7680m^3 and total internal energy is 3680 kJ.

Part b

Volume of vessel is given as 1.6

mass is given as 2 kg

Pressure is given as 0.2 MPa or 200 kPa

Now the specific volume is given as

v=\frac{V}{m}\\v=\frac{1.6}{2}\\v=0.8 m^3/kg

So from steam tables for Pressure=200 kPa and specific volume as 0.8 gives

Temperature=T=120 °C

Quality=x=0.903 ≈ 90.3%

Specific internal energy =u=2330 kJ/kg

The total internal energy is given as

u=\frac{U}{m}\\U=u \times m\\U=2330 \times 2\\U=4660 kJ

So the quality of the mixture is 90.3%  or 0.903, temperature is 120 °C and total internal energy is 4660 kJ.

All of these are true about GMA (MIG) welding EXCEPT that:
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

the welding gun liner regulates the shielding gas.

Explanation:

The purpose of the welding gun liner is to properly position the welding wire from the wire feeder till it gets to the nozzle or contact tip of the gun. <em>Regulation of the shielding gas depends on factors such as the speed, current, and type of gas being used. </em>In gas metal arc welding, an electric arc is used to generate heat which melts both the electrode and the workpiece or base metal.

The electric arc produced is shielded from contamination by the shielding gas. The heat generated by the short electric arc is low.

Scientific notation is another way to write a number. In scientific notation, the letter E is used to mean "10 to the power of." For example, 1.314E+1 means 1.314 * 101 which is 13.14 . Scientific notation is merely a format used for input and output.
