In a device to produce drinking water, humid air at 320C, 90% relative humidity and 1 atm is cooled to 50C at constant pressure.

If the duty on the unit is 2,200 kW of heat is removed from the humid air, how much water is produced and what is the volumetric flow rate of air entering the unit

Answer: hello your question lacks some data below is the missing data

Air at 32C has H = 0.204 kJ/mol and at 50C has H = -0.576 kJ/mol

H of steam can be found on the steam tables – vapor at 32C and 1 atm; vapor at 5C and liquid at 5C. Assume the volume of the humid air follows the ideal gas law.

H of water liquid at 5C = 21 kJ/kg; vapor at 5C = 2510.8 kJ/kg; H of water vapor at 32C = 2560.0 kJ/kg

Answer :

a) 34.98 lit/min

b) 1432.53 m^3/min

Explanation:

<u>a) Calculate how much water is produced </u>

density of water = 1 kg/liter

First we will determine the mass of condensed water using the relation below

inlet mass - outlet vapor mass =  0.0339508 * n * 18/1000 ----- ( 1 )

where : n = 57241.57

hence equation 1 = 34.98 Kg/min

∴ volume of water produced =  mass of condensed water / density of water

                                                =  34.98 Kg/min / 1 kg/liter

                                                = 34.98 lit/min

<u>b) calculate the Volumetric flow rate of air entering the unit </u>

applying the relation below

Pv = nRT

101325 *V = 57241.57 * 8.314 * 305  

∴ V = 1432.53 m^3/min

Air is compressed isothermally from 13 psia and 55°F to 80 psia in a reversible steady-flow device. Calculate the work required,
solong [7]

Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

If a signal is transmitted at a power of 250 mWatts (mW) and the noise in the channel is 10 uWatts (uW), if the signal BW is 20M
Bess [88]

Answer:

C = 292 Mbps

Explanation:

Given:

- Signal Transmitted Power P = 250mW

- The noise in channel N = 10 uW

- The signal bandwidth W = 20 MHz

Find:

what is the maximum capacity of the channel?

Solution:

-The capacity of the channel is given by Shannon's Formula:

                            C = W*log_2 ( 1 + P/N)

- Plug the values in:

                            C = (20*10^6)*log_2 ( 1 + 250*10^-3/10)

                            C = (20*10^6)*log_2 (25001)

                            C = (20*10^6)*14.6096

                           C = 292 Mbps

A piston–cylinder device contains a mixture of 0.5 kg of H2 and 1.2 kg of N2 at 100 kPa and 300 K. Heat is now transferred to th
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

(a) The heat transferred is 2552.64 kJ    

(b) The entropy change of the mixture is 1066.0279 J/K

Explanation:

Here we have

Molar mass of H₂ = 2.01588 g/mol

Molar mass of N₂ = 28.0134 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂ = 500/2.01588  = 248 moles

Number of moles of N₂ = 1200/28.0134 = 42.8 moles

P·V = n·R·T

V₁ = n·R·T/P = 290.8×8.3145×300/100000 = 7.25 m³

Since the volume is doubled then

V₂ = 2 × 7.25 = 14.51 m³

At constant pressure, the temperature is doubled, therefore

T₂ = 600 K

If we assume constant specific heat at the average temperature, we have

Heat supplied = m₁×cp₁×dT₁ + m₂×cp₂×dT₂

 cp₁ = Specific heat of hydrogen at constant pressure = 14.50 kJ/(kg K

cp₂ = Specific heat of nitrogen at constant pressure = 1.049 kJ/(kg K

Heat supplied = 0.5×14.50×300 K+ 1.2×1.049×300 =  2552.64 kJ    

b)  \Delta S = - R(n_A \times lnx_A + n_B \times ln x_B)

Where:

x_A and x_B are the mole fractions of Hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

Therefore, x_A = 248 /(248 + 42.8) = 0.83

x_B = 42.8/(248 + 42.8) = 0.1472

∴ \Delta S = - 8.3145(248 \times ln0.83 + 42.8 \times ln 0.1472) =  1066.0279 J/K

can someone help me with this engineering mechanics homework, please? I tried to solve it, but I got so confused.​
marishachu [46]

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑Fx = ma

Rx − 250 N = 0

Rx = 250 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑Fy = ma

Ry − 120 N − 300 N = 0

Ry = 420 N

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑Fz = ma

Rz − 50 N = 0

Rz = 50 N

Sum of moments about the x axis:

∑τx = Iα

Mx + (-50 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.1 m) = 0

Mx = 22 Nm

Sum of moments about the y axis:

∑τy = Iα

My = 0 Nm

Sum of moments about the z axis:

∑τz = Iα

Mz + (250 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.16 m) = 0

Mz = -30.8 Nm

A specimen of commercially pure copper has a strength of 240 MPa. Estimate its average grain diameter using the Hall-Petch equat
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.115× 10^{-3} meter

Explanation:

hall-petch constant for copper is given by

      S_0=25 MPa

      k=0.12 for copper

now according to hall-petch equation

S_Y=S_0 +\frac{K}{\sqrt{D}}

240=25+\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{D}}

D=3.115× 10^{-3} meter

so the grain diameter using the hall-petch equation=3.115×  10^{-3} meter
