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.

I hope this answered your question, if not let me know :)

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968

Solving for T2 we have:

T_2 = 5.8828

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out

w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = \frac{q_out}{T_1}

\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

Tech A says that horsepower is a measurement simply of the amount of work being performed. Tech B says that horsepower can be ca
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

Horsepower (hp) refers to a unit of measurement of power in respect of the output of engines or motors.

Horsepower is the common unit of power. It indicates the rate at which work is done.

The formula \frac{rpm*T}{5252}, where rpm is the engine speed, T is the torque, and 5,252 is radians per second.

So,

Tech B is correct
