irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Class of fit:

Interference (Medium Drive Force Fits constitute a special type of Interference Fits and these are the tightest fits where accuracy is important).

Here minimum shaft diameter will be greater than the maximum hole diameter.

Medium Drive Force Fits are FN 2 Fits.

As per standard ANSI B4.1 :

Desired Tolerance: FN 2

Tolerance TZone: H7S6

Max Shaft Diameter: 3.0029

Min Shaft Diameter: 3.0022

Max Hole Diameter:3.0012

Min Hole Diameter: 3.0000

Max Interference: 0.0029

Min Interference: 0.0010

Stress in the shaft and sleeve can be considered as the compressive stress which can be determined using load/interference area.

Design is acceptable If compressive stress induced due to selected dimensions and load is less than compressive strength of the material.

A displacement transducer has the following specifications: Linearity error ± 0.25% reading Drift ± 0.05%/○C reading Sensitivity

White raven [17]

Answer:

The Estimated uncertainty in a nominal displacement of 2 cm at the design stage is plus or minus 0.0124cm

Explanation:

uncertainty in a nominal displacement

= (u^2 + v^2)^(1/2)

assume from specifications that k = 5v/5cm

= 1v/cm

u^2 = (0.0025*2)^(2) + (0.005*10*2)^2 + (0.0025*2)^2

= 0.01225v

v = 2v * 0.001

= 0.002v

uncertainty in a nominal displacement

= (u^2 + v^2)^(1/2)

= ((0.01225)^2 + (0.002)^2)^(1/2)

= 0.0124 cm

Therefore, The Estimated uncertainty in a nominal displacement of 2 cm at the design stage is plus or minus 0.0124cm

Briefly discuss if it would be better to operate with pumps in parallel or series and how your answer would change as the steepn

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1) In series, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.

2) In parallel, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.

Explanation:

1) Pump in series:

When two or more pumps are connected in series, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective heads at the same flow rate as shown in the first diagram attached.

In the first diagram, we have 3 curves namely:

- system curve

- single pump curve

- 2 pump in series curve

Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3.

- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.

- Point 2 represents the point where the head of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the head of a single pump flowing at the same rate.

- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.

Now, since the flowrate is constant, the combined head will move from point 1 to point 2 in theory. However, practically speaking, the combined head and flow rate will move along the system curve to point 3.

2) Pump in parallel:

When two or more pumps are connected in parallel, their resulting pump performance curve will be obtained by adding their respective flow rates at same head as shown in the second diagram attached.

In the second diagram, we have 3 curves namely:

- system curve

- single pump curve

- 2 pump in series curve

Also, we have points labeled 1, 2 and 3

- Point 1 represents the point that the system operates with one pump running.

- Point 2 represents the point where the flow rate of two identical pumps connected in series is twice the flow rate of a single pump.

- Point 3 is the point where the system is operating when both pumps are running.

In this case, the combined head and volume flow will move along the system curve from point 1 to point 3.

You have a 12 volt power source running through a circuit that has 3kΩ of resistance, how many amps (in mA) can flow through the

siniylev [52]

Answer:

4mA

Explanation:

For this problem, we will simply apply Ohm's law:

V = IR

V/R = I

I = V / R

I = 12 volt / 3kΩ

I = 4mA

Hence, the current in the circuit is 4mA.

Cheers.

Chemical engineering got is unofficial start around the time of the __________ __________ ________.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Option A, World War II

Explanation:

During the period of industrial revolution around 1915-25, the chemical engineering has taken a new shape. During this period (i.e around the world war I), there was rise in demand for liquid fuels, synthetic fertilizer, and other chemical products. This lead to development of chemistry centre in Germany . There was rise in use of synthetics fibres and polymers. World war II saw the growth of catalytic cracking, fluidized beds, synthetic rubber, pharmaceuticals production, oil & oil products, etc. and because of rising chemical demand, chemical engineering took a new shape during this period

Hence, option A is the right answer
