Answer:

A) Q'_in = 304.66 hp

B) T_max = 1109.29 °C

Explanation:

We are given;

compression ratio; r = 18

cutoff ratio; r_c = 1.5

Power; W' = 200 hp

Temperature; T1 = 17°C = 290 K

A) To find the rate of heat addition, we will use the derived formula;

Q'_in = (W' × r^(k - 1) × k(r_c - 1))/(r^(k - 1) × k(r_c - 1)) - ((r_c)^(k) - 1)

Where k is a constant = 1.4

Thus;

Q'_in = (200 × 18^(1.4 - 1) × 1.4(1.5 - 1))/((18^(1.4 - 1) × 1.4(1.5 - 1)) - ((1.5^(1.4)) - 1)

Q'_in = 304.66 hp

B) To find the maximum temperature, we will use the Formula;

T_max = T1 × r^(k - 1) × r_c

T_max = 290 × 18^(1.4 - 1) × 1.5

T_max = 1382.29 K

Converting to °C gives;

T_max = 1109.29 °C

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16
Bad White [126]

Answer:

the net work per cycle \mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}  Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, W = 88.0144746 hp

Explanation:

the information given includes;

diameter of the four-cylinder bore = 3.7 in

length of the stroke = 3.4 in

The clearance volume = 16% = 0.16

The cylindrical volume V_2 = 0.16 V_1

the crankshaft N rotates at a speed of  2400 RPM.

At the beginning of the compression , temperature T_1 = 60 F = 519.67 R    

and;

Otto cycle with a pressure =  14.5 lbf/in² = (14.5 × 144 ) lb/ft²

= 2088 lb/ft²

The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 R

From the given information; the change in volume is:

V_1-V_2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}D^2L

V_1-0.16V_1= \dfrac{\pi}{4}(3.7)^2(3.4)

V_1-0.16V_1= 36.55714291

0.84 V_1 =36.55714291

V_1 =\dfrac{36.55714291}{0.84 }

V_1 =43.52040823 \ in^3 \\ \\  V_1 = 43.52 \ in^3

V_1 = 0.02518 \ ft^3

the mass in air ( lb) can be determined by using the formula:

m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT}

where;

R = 53.3533 ft.lbf/lb.R°

m = \dfrac{2088 \ lb/ft^2 \times 0.02518 \ ft^3}{53.3533 \ ft .lbf/lb.^0R  \times 519 .67 ^0 R}

m = 0.0018962 lb

From the tables  of ideal gas properties at Temperature 519.67 R

v_{r1} =158.58

u_1 = 88.62 Btu/lb

At state of volume 2; the relative volume can be determined as:

v_{r2} = v_{r1}  \times \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

v_{r2} = 158.58 \times 0.16

v_{r2} = 25.3728

The specific energy u_2 at v_{r2} = 25.3728 is 184.7 Btu/lb

From the tables of ideal gas properties at maximum Temperature T = 5200 R

v_{r3} = 0.1828

u_3 = 1098 \ Btu/lb

To determine the relative volume at state 4; we have:

v_{r4} = v_{r3} \times \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}

v_{r4} =0.1828 \times \dfrac{1}{0.16}

v_{r4} =1.1425

The specific energy u_4 at v_{r4} =1.1425 is 591.84 Btu/lb

Now; the net work per cycle can now be calculated as by using the following formula:

W_{net} = Heat  \ supplied - Heat  \ rejected

W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2)-m(u_4 - u_1)

W_{net} = m(u_3-u_2- u_4 + u_1)

W_{net} = m(1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)

W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (1098-184.7- 591.84 + 88.62)

W_{net} = 0.0018962 \times (410.08)

\mathbf{W_{net} = 0.777593696}  Btu per cycle

the power developed by the engine, in horsepower. can be calculated as follows;

In the  four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine; the power developed by the engine can be calculated by using the expression:

W = 4 \times N'  \times W_{net

where ;

N' = \dfrac{2400}{2}

N' = 1200 cycles/min

N' = 1200 cycles/60 seconds

N' = 20 cycles/sec

W = 4 × 20 cycles/sec ×  0.777593696

W = 62.20749568 Btu/s

W = 88.0144746 hp

Briefly explain how a jet moves
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast. All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. ... Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.

An airline ticket counter forecasts that 220 people per hour will need to check in. It takes an average of 2 minutes to service
Nadusha1986 [10]

A) Number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less = 8 agents

B) The number of agents required on duty to reduce cost = 9 agents

<u>Given data : </u>

Arrival rate of customers ( β ) = 220 per hour

Service rate ( mu ) = 60 minutes / 2 minutes = 30 customer per hour

utilization ( rho ) = 220 / 30 ≈ 7

at least 8 server personnel are required for stability of the queue

A<u>) Determine the number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less per customer</u>

waiting time = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes

number of customers waiting ( ∝ ) = 7 and required server = 8

assuming   Lq = 5.2266

Hence the waiting time in line = Lq / arrival rate

                                                  = 5.2266 / 220 = 0.0238 hour

                                                  = 0.0238 * 60 = 1.428 minutes

Since the waiting time ( 1.428 minutes ) is less than the original waiting time ( 2 minutes ) the number of agents that will achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less is = 8 agents

<u>B) Determine the number of</u><u> ticket agents</u><u> that should be on duty to minimize cost </u>

salary of ticket agent = £12 per hour

cost of customer waiting in queue = £5 per hour per customer

<em> </em><u>i) When 8 agents are used </u>

waiting time of customers = 0.0238 * 220 = 5.236

waiting cost for customers = 5.236 * 5 = £26.18

employee cost = 8 * 12 = £96

∴ Total cost = 96 + 26.18

                    = £ 122.18

<u>ii) When 9 agents are used </u>

waiting time for customers = 0.0074 * 220 = 1.628

Wq = 1.6367 / 220 = 0.0074

waiting cost for customers = 1.6367 * 5 = £ 8.1835

assuming Lq = 1.6367

employee cost = 9 * 12 = £ 108

∴ Total cost = 108 + 8.1835 = £ 116.18

From the calculations in ( i ) and ( ii ) the Ideal number of ticket agents that should be on duty to minimize cost should be 9 agents.

Hence we can conclude that A) Number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less = 8 agents and The number of agents required on duty to reduce cost = 9 agents.

Refrigerant-134a at 700 kPa, 70°C, and 7.2 kg/min is cooled by water in a condenser until it exists as a saturated liquid at the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}.

Explanation:

A condenser is a heat exchanger used to cool working fluid (Refrigerant 134a) at the expense of cooling fluid (water), which works usually at steady state. Let suppose that there is no heat interactions between condenser and surroundings.The condenser is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states:

\dot Q_{ref} - \dot Q_{w} = 0

\dot Q_{ref} = \dot Q_{w}

\dot m_{ref}\cdot (h_{ref, in} - h_{ref,out}) = \dot m_{w}\cdot (h_{w, out} - h_{w,in})

The mass flow rate of the cooling water is now cleared:

\dot m_{w} = \dot m_{ref }\cdot \frac{h_{ref,in}-h_{ref,out}}{h_{w,out}-h_{w,in}}

Given that h_{ref,in} = 808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{ref, out} = 88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{w,out} = 104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg} and h_{w,in} = 62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, the mass flow of the cooling water is:

\dot m_{w} = \left(7.2\,\frac{kg}{min} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{808.34\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-88.82\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{104.83\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-62.98\,\frac{kJ}{kg} } \right)

\dot m_{w} = 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}

The mass flow rate of cooling water required to cool the refrigerant is 123.788\,\frac{kg}{min}.
