Answer:

• Corona discharge means neutralization of charge action at a sharp point

example; a pear shaped conductor, lightening conductor, van de graaf generator.

Explanation:

• In corona discharge, When a sharp conductor is placed somewhere in open space. The charges of opposite chrage attract the opposite ions in the air around that conductor.

• This increases the charge density and electric field intensity at the sharp point, this neutralises the charge at sharp point hence a discharge known as corona discharge occurs.

Indicate on a tensile curve such quantities as yield stress, Young's modulus, UTS, toughness, point of necking, point of fractur

Illusion [34]

Explanation:

Step1

In the stress-strain curve of any material, the yield stress is the maximum stress at which material starts yielding.

Step2

Young’s modulus is the constant of proportionality of stress and strain according to hooks law. It is the slope of the slope of the stress-strain curve of the any material under proportional limit.

Step3

Ultimate tensile stress is the maximum stress that induced in the material under application of load.

Step4

Toughness is the strain energy per unit volume up to the fracture point of the stress-strain diagram of any material. This is the area under the curve of stress-strain.

Step5

Point of necking is the point where any material starts necking under application of load in necking region of the stress-strain curve.

Step6

Fracture point is the last point of the stress-strain curve where component fractures under application of load.

All the parameters are shown in below stress-strain curve:

The ________________ attraction between the Earth and the moon is ______________ on the side of the Earth that happens to be ___

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Gravitational; strongest; facing; closer; near side; toward.

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the moon is strongest on the side of the Earth that happens to be facing the moon, simply because it is closer. This attraction causes the water on this “near side” of Earth to be pulled toward the moon. These forces of attraction and inertia tends to keep the water in place and consequently, leads to a bulge of water on the near side with respect to the moon.

Also, you should note that what is responsible for the moon being in orbit around the Earth is the gravitational force of attraction between the two planetary bodies (Earth and Moon).

Air at 26 kPa, 230 K, and 220 rn/s enters a turbojet engine in flight. The air mass flow rate is 25 kg/s. The compressor pressur

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a little lengthy and tricky, but nevertheless i would give a step by step analysis to make this as simple as possible.

(a). here we are asked to determine the Temperature and Pressure.

Given that the properties of Air;

ha = 230.02 KJ/Kg

Ta = 230 K

Pra = 0.5477

From the energy balance equation for a diffuser;

ha + Va²/2 = h₁ + V₁²/2

h₁ = ha + Va²/2 (where V₁²/2 = 0)

h₁ = 230.02 + 220²/2 ˣ 1/10³

h₁ = 254.22 KJ/Kg

⇒ now we obtain the properties of air at h₁ = 254.22 KJ/Kg

from this we have;

Pr₁ = 0.7329 + (0.8405 - 0.7329)[(254.22 - 250.05) / (260.09 - 250.05)]

Pr₁ = 0.77759

therefore T₁ = 254.15K

P₁ = (Pr₁/Pra)Pa

= 0.77759/0.5477 ˣ 26

P₁ = 36.91 kPa

now we calculate Pr₂

Pr₂ = Pr₁ (P₂/P₁) = 0.77759 ˣ 11 = 8.55349

⇒ now we obtain properties of air at

Pr₂ = 8.55349 and h₂ = 505.387 KJ/Kg

calculating the enthalpy of air at state 2

ηc = h₁ - h₂ / h₁ - h₂

0.85 = 254.22 - 505.387 / 254.22 - h₂

h₂ = 549.71 KJ/Kg

to obtain the properties of air at h₂ = 549.71 KJ/Kg

T₂ = 545.15 K

⇒ to calculate the pressure of air at state 2

P₂/P₁ = 11

P₂ = 11 ˣ 36.913

p₂ = 406.043 kPa

but pressure of air at state 3 is the same,

i.e. P₂ = P₃ = 406.043 kPa

P₃ = 406.043 kPa

To obtain the properties of air at

T₃ = 1400 K, h₃ = 1515.42 kJ/Kg and Pr = 450.5

for cases of turbojet engine,

we have that work output from turbine = work input to the compressor

Wt = Wr

(h₃ - h₄) = (h₂ - h₁)

h₄ = h₃ - h₂ + h₁

= 1515.42 - 549.71 + 254.22

h₄ = 1219.93 kJ/Kg

properties of air at h₄ = 1219.93 kJ/Kg

T₄ = 1140 + (1160 - 1140) [(1219.93 - 1207.57) / (1230.92 - 1207.57)]

T₄ = 1150.58 K

Pr₄ = 193.1 + (207.2 - 193.1) [(1219.93 - 1207.57) / (1230.92 - 1207.57)]

Pr₄ = 200.5636

Calculating the ideal enthalpy of the air at state 4;

Лr = h₃ - h₄ / h₃ - h₄*

0.9 = 1515.42 - 1219.93 / 1515.42 - h₄

h₄* = 1187.09 kJ/Kg

now to obtain the properties of air at h₄⁻ = 1187.09 kJ/Kg

P₄* = 179.7 + (193.1 - 179.7) [(1187.09 -1184.28) / (1207.57 - 1184.28)]

P₄* = 181.316

P₄ = (Pr₄/Pr₃)P₃ i.e. 3-4 isentropic process

P₄ = 181.316/450.5 * 406.043

P₄ = 163.42 kPa

For the 4-5 process;

Pr₅ = (P₅/P₄)Pr₄

Pr₅ = 26/163.42 * 200.56 = 31.9095

to obtain the properties of air at Pr₅ = 31.9095

h₅= 724.04 + (734.82 - 724.04) [(31.9095 - 3038) / (32.02 - 30.38)]

h₅ = 734.09 KJ/Kg

T₅ = 710 + (720 - 710) [(31.9095 - 3038) / (32.02 - 30.38)]

T₅ = 719.32 K

(b) Now we are asked to calculate the rate of heat addition to the air passing through the combustor;

QH = m(h₃-h₂)

QH = 25(1515.42 - 549.71)

QH = 24142.75 kW

(c). To calculate the velocity at the nozzle exit;

we apply steady energy equation of a flow to nozzle

h₄ + V₄²/2 = h₅ + V₅²/2

h₄ + 0 = h₅₅ + V₅²/2

1219.9 ˣ 10³ = 734.09 ˣ 10³ + V₅²/2

therefore, V₅ = 985.74 m/s
