To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the ideal gas law, mass flow rate and total enthalpy.

The gas ideal law is given as,

PV=mRT

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

m = mass

R = Gas Constant

T = Temperature

Our data are given by

T_1 = 38\°C

T_2 = 14\°C

\eta = 97\%

\dot{v} = 510m^3/kg

Note that the pressure to 38°C is 0.06626 bar

PART A) Using the ideal gas equation to calculate the mass flow,

PV = mRT

\dot{m} = \frac{PV}{RT}

\dot{m} = \frac{0.6626*10^{5}*510}{287*311}

\dot{m} = 37.85kg/min

Therfore the mass flow rate at which water condenses, then

\eta = \frac{\dot{m_v}}{\dot{m}}

Re-arrange to find \dot{m_v}

\dot{m_v} = \eta*\dot{m}

\dot{m_v} = 0.97*37.85

\dot{m_v} = 36.72 kg/min

PART B) Enthalpy is given by definition as,

H= H_a +H_v

Where,

H_a= Enthalpy of dry air

H_v= Enthalpy of water vapor

Replacing with our values we have that

H=m*0.0291(38-25)+2500m_v

H = 37.85*0.0291(38-25)-2500*36.72

H = 91814.318kJ/min

In the conversion system 1 ton is equal to 210kJ / min

H = 91814.318kJ/min(\frac{1ton}{210kJ/min})

H = 437.2tons

The cooling requeriment in tons of cooling is 437.2.

An engineer measures a sample of 1200 shafts out of a certain shipment. He finds the shafts have an average diameter of 2.45 inc
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 78.89%

Explanation:

Given : Sample size : n=  1200

Sample mean : \overline{x}=2.45

Standard deviation : \sigma=0.07

We assume that it follows Gaussian distribution (Normal distribution).

Let x be a random variable that represents the shaft diameter.

Using formula, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, the z-value corresponds to 2.39 will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.39-2.45}{0.07}\approx-0.86

z-value corresponds to 2.60 will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.60-2.45}{0.07}\approx2.14

Using the standard normal table for z, we have

P-value = P(-0.86

=P(z

Hence, the percentage of the diameter of the total shipment of shafts will fall between 2.39 inch and 2.60 inch = 78.89%

What is flow energy? Do fluids at rest possess any flow energy?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Flow energy is defined as, flow energy is the energy needed to push fluids into control volume and it is the amount of work done required to push the entire fluid. It is also known as flow work. Flow energy is not the fundamental quantities like potential and kinetic energy.

Fluid at state of rest do not possess any flow energy. It is mostly converted into internal energy as, rising in the fluid temperature.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

\\ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

\\ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.
