A school is playing $0.XY per kWh for electric power. To reduce its power bill, the school installs a wind turbine with a rated

power of 30 kW. If the turbine operates (2000 X) hours per year at the rated power. Determine the amount of electric power generated by the wind turbine and the money saved by the school per year.

Answer: Your question has some missing figures so kindly plug in the values into the solution provided to get the exact amount of money saved

answer : Electric power generated = 216 * 10^6 kJ

             money saved = $0.XY * 60000 kwh

Explanation:

<u>Calculating  the amount of electric power generated by wind turbine</u>

power generated = ( 30 * 2000 ) kWh  = 60000 kWh

Electric energy generated = 60000 kWh * 3600 kJ = 216 * 10^6 kJ

<u>Calculate money saved by school per year </u>

$0.XY * 60000 kwh

Refrigerant-134a enters a 28-cm-diameter pipe steadily at 200 kPa and 20°C with a velocity of 5 m/s. The refrigerant gains heat
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

V = 0.30787 m³/s

m = 2.6963 kg/s

v2 =  0.3705 m³/s

v2 = 6.017 m/s

Explanation:

given data

diameter = 28 cm

steadily =200 kPa

temperature = 20°C

velocity = 5 m/s

solution

we know mass flow rate is

m = ρ A v

floe rate V = Av

m = ρ V

flow rate = V = \frac{m}{\rho}

V = Av = \frac{\pi}{4} * d^2 * v1

V = \frac{\pi}{4} * 0.28^2 * 5

V = 0.30787 m³/s

and

mass flow rate of the refrigerant is

m = ρ A v

m = ρ V

m = \frac{V}{v} = \frac{0.30787}{0.11418}

m = 2.6963 kg/s

and

velocity and volume flow rate at exit

velocity = mass × v

v2 = 2.6963 × 0.13741 = 0.3705 m³/s

and

v2 = A2×v2

v2 = \frac{v2}{A2}

v2 = \frac{0.3705}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 0.28^2}

v2 = 6.017 m/s

Why do we care about a material's ability to resist torsional deformation?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.

When subject to an unknown torque, the shear stress in a 2 mm thick rectangular tube of dimension 100 mm x 200 mm was found to b
laila [671]

Answer:

The shear stress will be 80 MPa

Explanation:

Here we have;

τ = (T·r)/J

For rectangular tube, we have;

Average shear stress given as follows;

Where;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}

A_m = 100 mm × 200 mm = 20000 mm² = 0.02 m²

t = Thickness of the shaft in question = 2 mm = 0.002 m

T = Applied torque

Therefore, 50 MPa = T/(2×0.002×0.02)

T = 50 MPa × 0.00008 m³ = 4000 N·m

Where the dimension is 50 mm × 250 mm, which is 0.05 m × 0.25 m

Therefore, A_m = 0.05 m × 0.25 m = 0.0125 m².

Therefore, from the following average shear stress formula, we have;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}

Plugging in then values, gives;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{4000}{2\times 0.002 \times 0.0125} = 80,000,000 Pa

The shear stress will be 80,000,000 Pa or 80 MPa.
