What is "Engineering"?

1 answer:

5 0

Engineering is when both the application of science and math are used to solve problems. An engineer is a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works. There are six large branches of engineering such as Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Management, and Geotechnical, they all have hundreds of subcategories of engineering under each different branch.

A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 20-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with fri

babymother [125]

Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are 73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

$T_{BE}-W=0$ hence

$T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N$

Therefore, tension in the cable, $T_{BE}=196.2 N$

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

$196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0$

$24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0$

$D_x=73.575 N$

Similarly,

$A_x-D_y=0$

$A_x=73.575 N$

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N

Choose the true statement from those shown below: A Merchant Account allows you to use SSL on your web site. Disadvantages of us

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The answer is A. that is, a merchant account allows you to use SSL on your website.

Explanation:

SSL means Secure Sockets Layer and this is an encryption-based Internet security protocol.

For an e-commerce merchant website or account, it is advised that an SSL package be installed to prevent any potential loss of private information.

For this reason, a merchant account allows use of SSL on your website because this also boost the confidence of client and customers visiting the website to purchase products.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

6.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the equation of continuity

A1V1=A2V2 where A1 and V1 are area and velocity of inlet respectively while A2 and V2 are the area and velocity of outlet respectively

$A1=\pi (r1)^{2}$

$A2=\pi (r2)^{2}$

where r1 and r2 are radius of inlet and outlet respectively

v1 is given as 1.6 m/s

Therefore

$\pi (0.01)^{2}\times 1.6 = \pi (0.005)^{2}v2$

$V2=\frac {\pi (0.01)^{2}\times 1.6}{\pi (0.005)^{2}}=6.4 m/s$

The steady-state data listed below are claimed for a power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1200K and 400K, re

Anni [7]

Answer:

a) W_cycle = 200 KW , n_th = 33.33 % , Irreversible

b) W_cycle = 600 KW , n_th = 100 % , Impossible

c) W_cycle = 400 KW , n_th = 66.67 % , Reversible

Explanation:

Given:

- The temperatures for hot and cold reservoirs are as follows:

TL = 400 K

TH = 1200 K

Find:

For each case W_cycle , n_th ( Thermal Efficiency ) :

(a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

(b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

- Determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, operates irreversibly, or is impossible.

Solution:

- The work done by the cycle is given by first law of thermodynamics:

W_cycle = QH - QC

- For categorization of cycle is given by second law of thermodynamics which states that:

n_th < n_max ...... irreversible

n_th = n_max ...... reversible

n_th > n_max ...... impossible

- Where n_max is the maximum efficiency that could be achieved by a cycle with Hot and cold reservoirs as follows:

n_max = 1 - TL / TH = 1 - 400/1200 = 66.67 %

And, n_th = W_cycle / QH

a) QH = 600 kW, QC = 400 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 400 = 200 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 200 / 600 = 33.33 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 33.333 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th < n_max

Hence, Irreversible Process

b) QH = 600 kW, QC = 0 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 0 = 600 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 600 / 600 = 100 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 100 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th > n_max

Hence, Impossible Process

c) QH = 600 kW, QC = 200 kW

- The work done by cycle according to First Law is:

W_cycle = 600 - 200 = 400 KW

- The thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by n_th:

n_th = W_cycle / QH

n_th = 400 / 600 = 66.67 %

- The type of process according to second Law of thermodynamics:

n_th = 66.67 % n_max = 66.67 %

n_th = n_max

Hence, Reversible Process
