A) The amount of space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 0.6048 cm

B) The stress in the rails on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

<h3>Linear Thermal Expansion</h3>

We are given;

Length; L = 14 m

Initial Temperature; T_i = −5 °C

Final Temperature; T_f = 31 °C

The formula for Linear Thermal Expansion is;

ΔL = L_i * α * ΔT

where;

L_i is initial length

α is thermal expansion

ΔL is change in length

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, the thermal expansion of steel from online tables is α = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹

Thus;

ΔL = 14 * 1.2 × 10⁻⁵  * (31 - (-5))

ΔL = 6.048 × 10⁻³ m = 0.6048 cm

The formula to get the stress is;

σ = Y * α  * ΔT

where;

Y is young's modulus of steel = 20 × 10¹⁰ Pa

α is thermal expansion

ΔT is change in temperature

Thus;

σ = 20 × 10¹⁰ × 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ × (31 - (-5))

σ = 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

The complete question is;

Steel train rails are laid in 14.0-m long segments placed end to end. The rails are laid on a winter day when their temperature is −5 °C.

(a) How much space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

(b) If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a)120C

b)29kg

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this exercise follow the steps below

1. we will call 1 the initial state, 2 the steam that enters and 3 the final state

2. We find the quality of the initial state, dividing the mass of steam by the total mass.

q1=\frac{6kg}{10kg} =0.6

3 Find the internal energy in the three states using thermodynamic tables

note:Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

u1=IntEnergy(Water;x=0,6(quality);P=200kPa) =1719KJ/kg

u2=IntEnergy(Water;t=350;P=5000kPa) =2808KJ/kg

u3=IntEnergy(Water;x=1;P=200kPa) =2529KJ/kg

4. use the internal energy and pressure to find the temperature in state 3, using thermodynamic tables

T3=Temperature(Water;P=200kPa;u=u3=2529KJ/kg)=120C

5. Use the first law of thermodynamics in the system, it states that the initial energy in a system must be equal to the final

m1u1+m2u2=(m1+m2)u3

where

m1=inital mass=10kg

m2=the mass of the steam that has entered.

solve for m2

(m1)(u1-u3)=(m2)(u3)-(m2)(u2)

m2=m1\frac{u1-u3}{u3-u2} =10\frac{1719-2529}{2529-2808} =29kg

Methane gas is 304 C with 4.5 tons of mass flow per hour to an uninsulated horizontal pipe with a diameter of 25 cm. It enters a
Arada [10]

Answer:

a) h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2-K

b) H_{loss} = 5.02 W

c) T_s = 302 K

d) \dot{Q} = 25.125 W

Explanation:

Non horizontal pipe diameter, d = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Radius, r = 0.25/2 = 0.125 m

Entry temperature, T₁ = 304 + 273 = 577 K

Exit temperature, T₂ = 284 + 273 = 557 K

Ambient temperature, T_a = 25^0 C = 298 K

Pipe length, L = 10 m

Area, A = 2πrL

A = 2π * 0.125 * 10

A = 7.855 m²

Mass flow rate,

\dot{ m} = 4.5 tons/hr\\\dot{m} = \frac{4.5*1000}{3600}  = 1.25 kg/sec

Rate of heat transfer,

\dot{Q} = \dot{m} c_p ( T_1 - T_2)\\\dot{Q} = 1.25 * 1.005 * (577 - 557)\\\dot{Q} = 25.125 W

a) To calculate the convection coefficient relationship for heat transfer by convection:

\dot{Q} = h_c A (T_1 - T_2)\\25.125 = h_c * 7.855 * (577 - 557)\\h_c = 0.1599 W/m^2 - K

Note that we cannot calculate the heat loss by the pipe to the environment without first calculating the surface temperature of the pipe.

c) The surface temperature of the pipe:

Smear coefficient of the pipe, k_c = 0.8

\dot{Q} = k_c A (T_s - T_a)\\25.125 = 0.8 * 7.855 * (T_s - 298)\\T_s = 302 K

b) Heat loss from the pipe to the environment:

H_{loss} = h_c A(T_s - T_a)\\H_{loss} = 0.1599 * 7.855( 302 - 298)\\H_{loss} = 5.02 W

d) The required fan control power is 25.125 W as calculated earlier above

I don’t get this it’s hella hard
qwelly [4]

Answer:

V₂ = 20 V

Vt = 20 V

V₁ = 20 V

V₃ = 20 V

I₁ = 10 mA

I₃ = 3.33 mA

It = 18.33 mA

Rt = 1090.91 Ω

Pt = 0.367 W

P₁ = 0.2 W

P₂ = 0.1 W

P₃ = 0.067 W

Explanation:

Part of the picture is cut off.  I assume there is a voltage source Vt there?

First, use Ohm's law to find V₂.

V = IR

V₂ = (0.005 A) (4000 Ω)

V₂ = 20 V

R₁ and R₃ are in parallel with R₂ and the voltage source Vt.  That means V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = Vt.

V₁ = 20 V

V₃ = 20 V

Vt = 20 V

Now we can use Ohm's law again to find I₁ and I₃.

V = IR

I = V/R

I₁ = (20 V) / (2000 Ω)

I₁ = 0.01 A = 10 mA

I₃ = (20 V) / (6000 Ω)

I₃ = 0.00333 A = 3.33 mA

The current It passing through Vt is the sum of the currents in each branch.

It = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

It = 10 mA + 5 mA + 3.33 mA

It = 18.33 mA

The total resistance is the resistance of the parallel resistors:

1/Rt = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/Rt = 1/2000 + 1/4000 + 1/6000

Rt = 1090.91 Ω

Finally, the power is simply each voltage times the corresponding current.

P = IV

Pt = (0.01833 A) (20 V)

Pt = 0.367 W

P₁ = (0.010 A) (20 V)

P₁ = 0.2 W

P₂ = (0.005 A) (20 V)

P₂ = 0.1 W

P₃ = (0.00333 A) (20 V)

P₃ = 0.067 W
