The utility companies often sell electric power at night at much lower prices since the demand for electric power is usually muc

h higher during the day. The owner of a four-story Hotel would like to take advantage of this opportunity. The owner decides to design a pump piping system that delivers water from the lake to the large pool (or reservoir) located on the roof of the Hotel. The owner wants to fill the pool from sea water during the night when the electric power is cheap and to use the water during the day.
Therefore, the owner decides to hire a mechanical engineer to design this piping pump system to deliver the water from the close lake to the reservoir on the roof of the building. As a hired mechanical engineer, you are supposed to design this piping pump system by selecting the desired pipe size, flow rate and all necessary fittings, and determine the horsepower of the pump required for such a delivery.

A helical compression spring is to be made of oil-tempered wire, d, of diameter 1–mm with a spring index of C = 10. The spring i
BaLLatris [955]

Question

Determine the minimum hole diameter for the spring to operate in

Answer:

11 mm

Explanation:

Mean spring coil diameter is given from the following relationship

D=cd where C is spring index and d is the diameter of oil-tempered wire

By substitution

D=10*1 mm=10 mm

To find the outer diameter, we add the d to D hence getting the minimum hole diameter as

D_o= D+d= 10 mm+1 mm= 11 mm

How do the brushes control the amount of charging an alternator does
frozen [14]

Explanation:

Think of brushes as a sliding contact.

In an alternator the brushes provide power to the field coil which is physically mounted on the rotating shaft. They provide this direct current through two slip rings.

By controlling the power flow to the field, the power output of the alternator can be controlled. A regulator circuit is used to control the field so that the output voltage is maintained to about 13.5 to 14.5 VDC.

FUN FACT: Many brush holders have a small holes near the brush exit. When you assemble the alternator you physically push the brushes all the way into their holder and then thread a small wire through these hole. After the alternator is assembled you can pull the wire out and the brushes will snap into position.

A 40-kN axial load is applied to a short wooden post that is supported by a concrete footing resting on undisturbed soil. Determ
Alla [95]

Answer:

<em>a. 3.33 MPa</em>

<em>b. 0.276 m^2</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The image is attached below.

The load = 40 kN = 40000 N

side length of wooden post L = 120 mm = 0.12 m

side width of the wooden post B  = 100 mm = 0.1 m

Area of the beam = L x B = 0.12 x 0.1 = 0.012 m^2

a. <em>Maximum bearing stress of the concrete footing = load/area</em>

max. bearing stress = 40000/0.012 = 3.33 x 10^{6} Pa = <em>3.33 MPa</em>

b. If the average bearing stress in the soil is 145 kPa = 145000 Pa

<em>size of the footing will be =  load ÷ average bearing stress</em>

size of footing = 40000/145000 ≅<em> 0.276 m^2</em>
