Answer: True

Explanation:

Circuit breakers are used to stop the current by using heat to detect if it has a critically large current. Defoggers use heat to stop condensation on the windows.

A sinusoidal wave of frequency 420 Hz has a speed of 310 m/s. (a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad?

Olin [163]

Answer:

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad are 0.0461 m apart.

b) The phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.6 ms apart is 4π/3.

Explanation:

f = 420 Hz, v = 310 m/s, λ = wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 310/420 = 0.738 m

T = periodic time of the wave = 1/420 = 0.00238 s = 0.0024 s = 2.4 ms

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad

In terms of the wavelength of the wave, this is equivalent to [(π/8)/2π] fraction of a wavelength,

[(π/8)/2π] = 1/16 of a wavelength = (1/16) × 0.738 = 0.0461 m

b) two displacements at times 1.6 ms apart.

In terms of periodic time, 1.6ms is (1.6/2.4) fraction of the periodic time.

1.6/2.4 = 2/3.

This means those two points are 2/3 fraction of a periodic time away from each other.

1 complete wave = 2π rad

Points 2/3 fraction of a wave from each other will have a phase difference of 2/3 × 2π = 4π/3.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 42 kg from a silver rod 2.7 m long by 1.9 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the rod,

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

cross sectional area A = 1.9 x 2.6 x 10⁻⁶ m²

= 4.94 x 10⁻⁶ m²

stress = 42 x 9.8 / 4.94 x 10⁻⁶

= 83.32 x 10⁶ N/m²

strain = .002902 / 2.7

= 1.075 x 10⁻³

Young's modulus = stress / strain

= 83.32 x 10⁶ / 1.075 x 10⁻³

= 77.5 x 10⁹ N/m²

Air at 400kPa, 970 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occu

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The rate of work developed is $\frac{\r W}{\r m}= 300kJ/kg$

The rate of entropy produced within the turbine is $\frac{\sigma}{\r m}= 0.0861kJ/kg \cdot K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The rate at which heat is transferred is $\frac{\r Q}{\r m } = - 30KJ/kg$

the negative sign because the heat is transferred from the turbine

The specific heat capacity of air is $c_p = 1.1KJ/kg \cdot K$

The inlet temperature is $T_1 = 970K$

The outlet temperature is $T_2 = 670K$

The pressure at the inlet of the turbine is $p_1 = 400 kPa$

The pressure at the exist of the turbine is $p_2 = 100kPa$

The temperature at outer surface is $T_s = 315K$

The individual gas constant of air R with a constant value $R = 0.287kJ/kg \cdot K$

The general equation for the turbine operating at steady state is \

$\r Q - \r W + \r m (h_1 - h_2) = 0$

h is the enthalpy of the turbine and it is mathematically represented as

$h = c_p T$

The above equation becomes

$\r Q - \r W + \r m c_p(T_1 - T_2) = 0$

$\frac{\r W}{\r m} = \frac{\r Q}{\r m} + c_p (T_1 -T_2)$

Where $\r Q$ is the heat transfer from the turbine

$\r W$ is the work output from the turbine

$\r m$ is the mass flow rate of air

$\frac{\r W}{\r m}$ is the rate of work developed

Substituting values

$\frac{\r W}{\r m} = (-30)+1.1(970-670)$

$\frac{\r W}{\r m}= 300kJ/kg$

The general balance equation for an entropy rate is represented mathematically as

$\frac{\r Q}{T_s} + \r m (s_1 -s_2) + \sigma = 0$

=> $\frac{\sigma}{\r m} = - \frac{\r Q}{\r m T_s} + (s_1 -s_2)$

generally $(s_1 -s_2) = \Delta s = c_p\ ln[\frac{T_2}{T_1} ] + R \ ln[\frac{v_2}{v_1} ]$

substituting for $(s_1 -s_2)$

$\frac{\sigma}{\r m} = \frac{-\r Q}{\r m} * \frac{1}{T_s} + c_p\ ln[\frac{T_2}{T_1} ] - R \ ln[\frac{p_2}{p_1} ]$

Where $\frac{\sigma}{\r m}$ is the rate of entropy produced within the turbine

substituting values

$\frac{\sigma}{\r m} = - (-30) * \frac{1}{315} + 1.1 * ln\frac{670}{970} - 0.287 * ln [\frac{100kPa}{400kPa} ]$

$\frac{\sigma}{\r m}= 0.0861kJ/kg \cdot K$
