Answer:

The answer is " $112.97 \ \frac{ft}{s}$ "

Explanation:

Air flowing into the $p_1 = 20 \ \frac{lbf}{in^2}$

Flow rate of the mass $m = 230.556 \frac{lbm}{s}$

inlet temperature $T_1 = 700^{\circ} F$

Pipeline $A= 5 \times 4 \ ft$

Its air is modelled as an ideal gas Apply the ideum gas rule to the air to calcule the basic volume v:

$\to \bar{R} = 1545 \ ft \frac{lbf}{lbmol ^{\circ} R}\\\\ \to M= 28.97 \frac{lb}{\bmol}\\\\ \to pv=RT \\\\\to v= \frac{\frac{\bar{R}}{M}T}{p}$

$= \frac{\frac{1545}{28.97}(70^{\circ}F+459.67)}{20} \times \frac{1}{144}\\\\=9.8 \frac{ft3}{lb}$

$V= \frac{mv}{A}$

$= \frac{230.556 \frac{lbm}{s} \times 9.8 \frac{ft^3}{lb}}{5 \times 4 \ ft^2}\\\\= 112.97 \frac{ft}{s}$

Explanation:

Dual home host - it is referred to as the firewall that is incorporated with two or more networks. out of these two networks, one is assigned to the internal network and the other is for the network. The main purpose of the dual-homed host is to ensure that no Internet protocol traffic is induced between both the network.

The most simple example of a dual-homed host is a computing motherboard that is provided with two network interfaces.

For an Otto cycle, plot the cycle efficiency as a function of compression ratio from 4 to 16.

Elza [17]

Assumptions:

Steady state.
Air as working fluid.
Ideal gas.
Reversible process.
Ideal Otto Cycle.

Explanation:

Otto cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in automobile engines, in which an amount of gas (air) experiences changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The cycle is composed by (following the P-V diagram):

Intake <em>0-1</em>: the mass of working fluid is drawn into the piston at a constant pressure.

Adiabatic compression <em>1-2</em>: the mass of working fluid is compressed isentropically from State 1 to State 2 through compression ratio (r).

$r =\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Ignition 2-3: the volume remains constant while heat is added to the mass of gas.
Expansion 3-4: the working fluid does work on the piston due to the high pressure within it, thus the working fluid reaches the maximum volume through the compression ratio.

$r = \frac{V_4}{V_3} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$

Heat Rejection 4-1: heat is removed from the working fluid as the pressure drops instantaneously.
Exhaust 1-0: the working fluid is vented to the atmosphere.

If the system produces enough work, the automobile and its occupants will propel. On the other hand, the efficiency of the Otto Cycle is defined as follows:

$\eta = 1-(\frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1} } )$

where:

$\gamma = \frac{C_{p} }{C_{v}} : specific heat ratio$

Ideal air is the working fluid, as stated before, for which its specific heat ratio can be considered constant.

$\gamma = 1.4$

Answer:

a. 318.2k

b. 45.2kj

Explanation:

Heat transfer rate to an object is equal to the thermal conductivity of the material the object is made from, multiplied by the surface area in contact, multiplied by the difference in temperature between the two objects, divided by the thickness of the material.
