Answer:

For the Mass to hang without falling

It simply means that the Tension that supports the weight force has to be Equal to or greater than it.

T=W

T= mg

m= 9 slugs

g=32.2ft/s².

T= 9 x 32.2

T= 289.8 slug.ft/s².

Or in normal units

1 Slug = 14.59Kg

1ft = 0.3048m

m= 9 slugs = 131.345kg

g =32.2ft/s² = 9.8m/s²

T= 9.8 x 131.345

T= 1,287.18N.

Refrigerant 134a enters the evaporator of a refrigeration system operating at steady state at -16oC and a quality of 20% at a ve

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

mass flow rate = 0.0534 kg/sec

velocity at exit = 29.34 m/sec

Explanation:

From the information given:

Inlet:

Temperature $T_1 = -16^0\ C$

Quality $x_1 = 0.2$

Outlet:

Temperature $T_2 = -16^0 C$

Quality $x_2 = 1$

The following data were obtained at saturation properties of R134a at the temperature of -16° C

$v_f= 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3/kg \\ \\ v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3 /kg$

$v_1 = v_f + x_1 ( vg - ( v_f)) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} + 0.2 (0.1247 -(0.7428 \times 10^{-3})) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.0255 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ \\ v_2 = v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3/kg$

$m = \rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ m = \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (1.7 \times 10^{-2})^2\times 6 \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 0.0534 \ kg/sec}$

$\rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ A_1 =A_2 \\ \\ \rho_1v_1 = \rho_2v_2 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times6 = \dfrac{1}{0.1247}\times (v_2)\\ \\ \\\mathbf{\\ v_2 = 29.34 \ m/sec}$

Which of the following best distinguishes between superficial design improvements and functional

Contact [7]

Answer:

Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial changes to a design, while functional design improvements can change the way a product or process is used to significantly enhance performance.

Explanation:

As a PC board designer, I would sometimes spend a certain amount of time making traces have shorter routes, or fewer layer changes or bends. (I wanted to make the layout "pretty.") In some cases, these changes are superficial, affecting the appearance only. In some cases, they are functional, reducing crosstalk or emissions or susceptibility to interference.

I deal with a web site that seems to be changing all the time (Brainly). In many cases, the same information is rearranged on the page—a superficial change. In other cases, the information being displayed changes, or the way that certain information is accessed changes. These are functional changes. (Sometimes, they "enhance performance," and sometimes they don't, IMO.)

In short ...

Which of the following is NOT a provision of the Agricultural Adjustment Act? insurance for farmers alternative energy programs

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Farm equipment

Explanation:

Most people have heard claims that the US government pays farmers not to grow crops. The Agricultural Adjustment Act is the legislation that started this program. It was the first “Farm Bill.” The current farm bill provides for the following:

Subsidies for farmers

Insurance for farmers

Price supports

Food assistance for economically challenged Americans (the largest portion of the Farm Bill)

Forestry conservation programs

Alternative energy programs.

A stainless steel (AISI 304) tube used to transport a chilled pharmaceutical has an inner diameter of 36 mm and a wall thickness

Bingel [31]

Answer:

a) heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{1.35} = 12.6W/m$

b) heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{2.20} = 7.7W/m$

Explanation:

Assumptions:

Constant properties
Steady state conditions
Negligible effect of radiation
Negligible constant resistance between tube and insulation
one dimensional radial conduction

a) What is the heat gain per unit tube length

$R_{conv,i}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_1h_i}$

$d_1=36mm$ Therefore $r_1=\frac{d_1}{2} =36/2=18mm=18*10^{-3}$

$r_2=2mm=2*10^{-3}m$

$k_{st}=14.2W/m.k$

$h_o=6W/m^2$

$h_i=400W/m^2$

$R_{conv,i}'=\frac{1}{2\pi * 1.8*10^{-3}*400}= 0.221m.K/W$

$R_{cond,st}'=\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi k_{st}} =\frac{ln(20/18)}{2\pi *14.2} =1.18*10^{-3}m.K/W$

$R_{conv,o}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_2h_0}=\frac{1}{2\pi *2*10^{-3}*6}=1.33m.K/W$

$R_{tot}'=R_{conv,i}'+R_{cond,st}'+R_{conv,o}'=0.221+(1.18*10^{-3})+1.33=1.35m.K/W$

heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{1.35} = 12.6W/m$

b) What is the heat gain per unit length if a 10-mm-thick layer of calcium silicate insulation (k_ins = 0.050 W/m.K) is applied to the tube

$r_3=r_1+r_2+10mm=30mm=0.03m$

$R_{conv,i}'$ and $R_{cond,st}'$ are the same, but $R_{conv,o}'$ changes.

Therefore:

$R_{conv,o}'=\frac{1}{2\pi r_3h_0} = \frac{1}{2\pi *0.03*6}=0.88m.K/W$

$R_{conv,ins}'=\frac{ln(r_3/r_)}{2\pi k_{ins}} =\frac{ln(30/20)}{2\pi *0.05} =1.29m.K/W$

The total resistance $R_{tot}'=R_{conv,i}'+R_{cond,st}'+R_{conv,ins}'+R_{conv,o}'=0.221+(1.18*10^{-3})+1.29+0.88=2.20m.K/W$

heat gain per unit tube length = $\frac{23-6}{2.20} = 7.7W/m$
