Railroad tracks made of 1025 steel are to be laid during the time of year when the temperature averages 4C (40F). Of a joint spa

ce of 5.4 mm (0.210 in.) is allowed between standard rails of length 11.9 m (39 ft), what is the highest possible temperature that can be tolerated without the introduction of thermal stresses

Answer:

41.5° C

Explanation:

Given data :

1025 steel

Temperature = 4°C

allowed joint space = 5.4 mm

length of rails = 11.9 m

<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>

coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C

Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l )  = ∝ * ΔT

                                    ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 )  = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )

∴  ( T2 - 4 ) =  ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6

hence : T2 = 41.5°C

Steam enters a turbine at 8000 kPa, 440oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 150 kPa and 0.19, respectively.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW

Explanation:

The turbine at steady-state is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

-\dot Q_{out} -\dot W_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out}) = 0

The specific enthalpies at inlet and outlet are, respectively:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

h_{in} = 3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

h_{out} = 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The power produced by the turbine is:

\dot W_{out}=-\dot Q_{out} + \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})

\dot W_{out} = -2.93\,kW + (1.57\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot (3353.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 890.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )

\dot W_{out} = 3863.98\,kW

The primary heat transfer mechanism that quickly warms my hand if I hold it directly above a campfire is: a)-Radiation b)-Induct
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c':Convection.

Explanation:

When we ignite a campfire the heat produced by combustion heats the air above the fire. As we know that if a gases gains heat it expands thus it's density decreases and hence it rises, if we hold our hands directly above the fire this rising hot air comes in contact with our hands thus warming them.

The situation is different if we are at some distance from the campfire laterally. Since the rising air cannot move laterally the only means the heat of the fire reaches our body is radiation.

But in the given situation the correct answer is convection.
