When do design engineers start on the design improvement step?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

  as soon as there is a design to improve

Explanation:

As a design engineer, I started on the "design improvement" step as soon as I had an initial conceptual design.

__

Then, I started that step again when my boss told me, "make it better."

_____

The more interesting question is, "when do you <em>stop</em> the design improvement step?" (Judging by the constant barrage of software updates, that answer is, "never.")

An office building is served by an air-cooled chiller currently operating at 115 tons (404.5 kW). The measured chilled water sup
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

B.197 gpm and 12.4 L/s

Explanation:

Given that

Load Q = 404.5 KW

Water inlet temperature= 6.1 °C

Water outlet temperature= 13.9°C

We know that specific heat for water

C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}

Now from energy balance

Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T

by putting the values

Q=\dot{m}C_p\Delta T

404.5=\dot{m}\times 4.187(13.9-6.1)

\dot{m}=12.38\ \frac{kg}{s}     (1 Kg/s = 15.85 gal/min)

We can say that

\dot{m}=196.31\ \frac{gal}{min}

We know that

\dot{m}=\rho\times volume\ flow\ rate

12.38=1000 x volume flow rate

volume\ flow\ rate\ = 12.38\times 10^{-3}\ \frac{m^3}{s}

So

volume flow rate = 12.38 L/s

So the option B is correct.

Technician A say's that The most two-stroke engines have a pressure type lubrication system. Technician be says that four stroke
Paul [167]

Question:Technician A say's that The most two-stroke engines have a pressure type lubrication system. Technician be says that four stroke engines do not require the mixing of oil with gasoline . Which of them is correct ?

Answer: Technician  B is   correct

Explanation: Two types of engines exist , the two stroke (example, used in chainsaws)  is a type of engine that uses two strokes--a compression stroke and a return stroke to produce power in a crankshaft combustion cycle and the  four stroke engines(eg lawnmowers) which  uses four strokes,  2-strokes during  compression and exhaustion accompanied by 2 return strokes for each of the initial process to produce power in a combustion cycle.

While a 2 stroke system engine, requires mixing of oil and fuel to the crankshaft before  forcing  the mixture into the cylinder and do not require a pressurized system.  The 4 stroke system uses a splash and pressurized system where oil is not mixed with gasoline but drawn from the sump and  directed to  the main moving  parts of  crankshaft through its channels.

We can therefore say that Technician A is wrong while Technician B is  correct
