Engineering
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A beam carries vertical loads

Explanation:

In bridge: Beam. The beam bridge is the most common bridge form. A beam carries vertical loads by bending. As the beam bridge bends, it undergoes horizontal compression on the top.

A composite shaft with length L = 46 in is made by fitting an aluminum sleeve (Ga = 5 x 10^3 ksi) over a
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

L = 46 in

Ga = 5 × 10³ ksi

Gs = 11 × 10³ ksi

Outside diameter da = 5 in

ds = 4 in

Tb = 3 kip.in

Now,

Ja = polar moment of Inertia of Aluminum;

Ja ⇒ π/32( 5⁴ - 4⁴ ) = π/32( 625 - 256 ) = π/32( 369 ) in^u

Js = polar moment of inertia of steel

Js ⇒ π/32 ds⁴ = π/32( 4⁴ ) = π/32( 256 )

Ta is torque transmitted by Aluminum  

Ts is torque transmitted by steel  

{composite member }

T = Ta + Ts ------ let this be equation m1

Now, we use the relation;

T/J = G∅/L

JG∅ = TL

∅ = TL/GJ

so, for aluminum rod ∅_{alu = TaLa/GaJa

for steel rod ∅_{steel = TsLs/GsJs

but we know that, ∅a = ∅s = ∅_B

so

[TaLa/GaJa]  =  [TsLs/GsJs]

also, we know that, La = Ls = L

∴ [Ta/GaJa]  =  [Ts/GsJs]

we solve for Ta

TaGsJs = TsGaJa  

Ta = TsGaJa / GsJs

we substitute

Ta = [Ts(5 × 10³)( π/32( 369) )] / [ (11 × 10³)( π/32( 256 ) ) ]

Ta = 0.66Ts

now, we substitute 0.66Ts for Ta and 3 for T in equation 1

T = Ta + Ts

3 = 0.66Ts + Ts

3 = 1.66Ts

Ts = 3 / 1.66

Ts = 1.8072 ≈ 1.81 kip-in

so

∅_{steel = TsLs / GsJs

we substitute

∅_{steel = (1.81 × 46 ) / ( 11 × 10³ × π/32( 256 ) )

∅_{steel = 83.26 / 276460.1535

∅_{steel  = 0.000301

∅_{steel = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

so

∅_{steel = ∅_B = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

Therefore, the magnitude of the angle of twist at end B is 3.01 × 10⁻⁴  rad

The fan blades suddenly experience an angular acceleration of 2 rad/s2. If the blades are rotating with an initial angular veloc
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Option B

116 ft/s^{2}

Explanation:

\theta=2 rev=2(2\pi)=4\pi

\alpha \theta=0.5(\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})

\alpha (4\pi)= 0.5(\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})

\alpha (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})

(2) (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})

(2) (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-4^{2})

\omega_f=8.14 rads/s

v=r\omega=1.75*8.14=14.245 ft/s

Centripetal acceleration =\omega_f^{2} r=8.14^{2}*1.75=115.95 ft/s^{2}

Tangential component=dr=2*1.75=3.5

Resultant=\sqrt{3.5^{2}+115.95^{2}}\approx 116 ft/s^{2}

Wet steam at 15 bar is throttled adiabatically in a steady-flow process to 2 bar. The resulting stream has a temperature of 130°
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Explanation:

The adiabatic throttling process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

m\cdot (h_{in} - h_{out}) = 0

h_{in} = h_{out}

Properties of water at inlet and outlet are obtained from steam tables:

State 1 - Inlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

P = 1500\,kPa

T = 198.29\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 6.3068\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

x = 0.967

State 2 - Outlet (Superheated Vapor)

P = 200\,kPa

T = 130\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 2726.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

The change of entropy of the steam is derived of the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

\Delta s = 7.1776\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.3068\, \frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

\Delta s = 0.8708\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

P_m_i_n = 442KPA

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

T_H = 1.2T_L

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}

= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

Q_l = COP_R Wm

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

Q_H = Q_L + W_m

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= = \frac{132}{1.06}

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2};

T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at T_L = 12.4°c we have 442KPa
