Known :

Pg = 51 psi

Patm = 28 inHg = 13.7 psi

Solution :

Absolute pressure is gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure :

Pabs = Pg + Patm

Pabs = 51 + 13.7

Pabs = 64.8 psi

R-744 refrigerant is bad why

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

R-744 is seen as the 'perfect' natural refrigerant as it is climate neutral and there is not a flammability or toxicity risk. It is rated as an A1 from ASHRAE. While it is non-toxic there is still risk if a leak occurs in an enclosed area as R-744 will displace the oxygen in the room and could cause asphyxiation

State the mathematical expression to define the availability of equipment over a specified time and operational availability?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{Down\ time+Up\ time}$

Explanation:

Availability:

It define as the probability of system which perform desired task before showing any failure .

The availability can be define as follows

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{Down\ time+Up\ time}$

Or we can say that

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{total\ time}$

Availability can also be express as

$Availability=\dfrac{MTBF}{MTBF+MTTR}$

Where MTBF is the mean time between two failure.

MTTR is the mean time to repair.

53. The plan of a building is in the form of a rectangle with

schepotkina [342]

Answer: 150m

Explanation:

The following can be depicted from the question:

Dimensions of outer walls = 9.7m × 14.7m.

Thickness of the wall = 0.30 m

Therefore, the plinth area of the building will be:

= (9.7 + 0.30/2 + 0.30/2) × (14.7 × 0.30/2 + 0.30/2)

= 10 × 15

= 150m

Determine the pressure difference in N/m2,between two points 800m apart in horizontal pipe-line,150 mm diameter, discharging wat

zlopas [31]

Answer: $10.631\times 10^3\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Discharge is $Q=12.5\ L$

Diameter of pipe $d=150\ mm$

Distance between two ends of pipe $L=800\ m$

friction factor $f=0.008$

Average velocity is given by

$\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{12.5\times 10^{-3}}{\frac{\pi }{4}(0.15)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{15.9134\times 10^{-3}}{2.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=7.07\times 10^{-1}\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=0.707\ m/s$

Pressure difference is given by

$\Rightarrow \Delta P=f\ \dfrac{L}{d}\dfrac{\rho v_{avg}^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=0.008\times \dfrac{800}{0.15}\times \dfrac{997\times (0.707)^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10,631.45\ N/m^2\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=10.631\ kPa$

What is the thermal efficiency of this regeneration cycle in terms of enthalpies and fractions of total flow?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$\eta =\dfrac{(h_3-h_4)-(h_2-h_1)}{(h_3-h_5)}$

Explanation:

generally regeneration of cycle is used in the case of gas turbine. due to regeneration efficiency of turbine is increased but there is no effect on the on the net work out put of turbine.Actually in regeneration net heta input is decreases that is why total efficiency increase.

Now from T-S diagram

$W_{net}=W_{out}-W_{in}$
