Answer:

1) the volume of solid (Vs) is 4733.33 ft³

2) the total cost to pay Pit A is $58220

3) the total cost to pay to Pit B is $53344.67

4) the total cost to pay to Pit C is $34269.32

5) the total cost to pay to Pit D is $49132.02

Explanation:  

given the data in the question;

Vs = ?, V = 7100 ft³, e = 0.5

1) Calculate the volume of solid (Vs)

Vs = V / ( 1 + e )

we substitute

Vs = 7100 / ( 1 + 0.5 )

Vs = 7100 / 1.5

Vs = 4733.33 ft³

Therefore, the volume of solid (Vs) is 4733.33 ft³

2) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit A

VpitA / Vcomp = ( 1 + e_{PHA}) / ( 1 + e_{comp )

we substitute

VpitA / 7100 = ( 1 + 1.5) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitA / 7100 = 1.3666666

VpitA = 1.3666666 × 7100

VpitA  = 9703.33 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 9703.33 ft³ × 6 = $58220

Therefore, the total cost to pay Pit A is $58220

3) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit B = Borrow Pit C: void ratio = 0.81 and the unit cost = $ 4 /ft3

Vpitb / Vcomp = ( 1 + e_{PHB}) / ( 1 + e_{comp )

we substitute

VpitB / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.61) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitB / 7100 = 1.0733333

VpitB = 1.0733333 × 7100

VpitB  = 7620.666 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 7620.666 × 7 = $53344.67

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit B is $53344.67

4) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit C = Borrow Pit D: void ratio = 0.73 and the unit cost = $6 /ft3

VpitC / Vcomp = ( 1 + e_{PHC}) / ( 1 + e_{comp )

we substitute

VpitC / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.81) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitC / 7100 = 1.2066666

VpitC = 1.2066666× 7100

VpitC  = 8567.33 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 8567.33 × 4 = $34269.32

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit C is $34269.32

5) Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit D

VpitD / Vcomp = ( 1 + e_{PHD}) / ( 1 + e_{comp )

we substitute

VpitD / 7100 = ( 1 + 0.73) / ( 1 + 0.5)

VpitD / 7100 = 1.1533333

VpitD = 1.1533333 × 7100

VpitD  = 8188.67 ft³

Total cost = volume × unit cost = 8188.67 × 6 = $49132.02

Therefore, the total cost to pay to Pit D is $49132.02

An Otto cycle engine is analyzed using the air standard method. Given the conditions at state 1, compression ratio (r), and pres
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A)  222.58 kJ / kg

B)  0.8897 M^3/ kg

c)  0.7737 m^3/kg

D)  746.542 k

E)  536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = 58% ( approximately )

Explanation:

Given Data :

Gas constant (R) =  0.287 kJ/ kg.K

T1 = 310 k

P1 ( Kpa ) = 100

r = 11.5 ( compression ratio )

rp = 1.95 ( pressure ratio )

A ) specific internal energy at state 1

 = Cv*T1 =  0.718 * 310 = 222.58 kJ / kg

B) Relative specific volume at state 1

= P1*V1 = R*T1 ( ideal gas equation )

V1 = R*T1 / P1 = (0.287* 10^3*310 ) / 100 * 10^3

V1 = 88.97 / 100 = 0.8897 M^3/ kg

C ) relative specific volume at state 2

Applying  r ( compression ratio) = V1 / V2

11.5 = 0.8897 / V2

V2 = 0.8897 / 11.5 = 0.7737 m^3/kg

D) The temperature (k) at state 2

since the process is an Isentropic process we will apply the p-v-t relation

\frac{T1}{T2} = (\frac{V1}{V2}^{n-1}  ) = (\frac{P2}{P1} )^{\frac{n-1}{n} }

hence T2 = 9^{1.4-1} * 310 = 2.4082 * 310 = 746.542 k

e) specific internal energy at state 2

= Cv*T2 = 0.718  * 746.542 = 536.017 kj/kg

efficiency = output /input = 390.3511 / 667.5448 ≈ 58%

What are the optical properties of steel
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A selective surface with large absorption for solar radiation and high reflectance for thermal infrared radiation was produced by use of surface oxidation of stainless steel. The surfaces were studied for use with concentrated light in a solar power plant at temperatures of 400°C and higher.

In order to investigate the relation between surface treatment and optical properties, stainless steels (AISI 304 and 430) which were submitted to different chemical and mechanical surface treatments, were used. To increase the spectral selectivity, these surfaces were treated in air and in vacuum at different temperatures and times. The optical properties of these films were investigated. Visual and infrared spectral absorptances were measured at room temperature. The thermal hemispherical emittance and absorptance were obtained by a calorimetric method at 200°C. It was noticed that these chemically and mechanically treated stainless steel surfaces have good spectral properties without further oxidations. This is very important for high temperature uses. The best values are found for samples 7 and 8 under vacuum and air. These two samples with mechanically ground surfaces retained their selectivity and specularity after several hours oxidation. One can conclude that the surface ground treatment confers good selectivity on the steel surfaces for use in concentrating solar collectors with a working temperature of 500°C.

Sample surfaces were subjected to long temperature ageing tests in order to gain some idea of the thermal stability of the surfaces. The results promise better-performing surface and the production of durable selective finishes at, possibly, lower cost than competing processes.
