Why do the quadrants in coordinate plane go anti-clockwise?.

Engineering

Answer:

Quadrants are counter-clockwise because angles are measured counter-clockwise; and angles are measured counter-clockwise so that Cross Product of unit vector in X direction with that in the Y direction has to be the unit vector in the Z direction (coming towards us from the origin).

If a lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage, it means that the ________.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Air at 400 kPa, 980 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occ

shusha [124]

Answer:

A)W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B)σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k

Explanation:

a).The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by the formula;

Q' - W' + m(h1 - h2) = 0

Dividing through by m, we have;

(Q'/m) - (W'/m) + (h1 - h2) = 0

Rearranging, we have;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + (h1 - h2)

Normally, this transforms to another equation;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + c_p(T1 - T2)

Where;

W'/m is the rate at which power is developed

Q'/m is the rate at which heat is flowing

c_p is specific heat at constant pressure which from tables at a temperature of 980k = 1.1 KJ/kg.k

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is exit temperature

We are given;

Q'/m = -30 kj/kg (negative because it leaves the turbine)

T1 = 980 k

T2 = 670 k

Plugging in the relevant values;

W'/m = -30 + 1.1(980 - 670)

W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B) The Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by the formula;

(Q'/T_boundary) + m(s1 - s2) + σ'_gen = 0

Dividing through by m gives;

((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s1 - s2) + σ'_gen/m = 0

Rearranging, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s2 - s1)

Under the conditions given in the question, this transforms normally to;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) - c_p•In(T2/T1) - R•In(p2/p1)

σ'_gen/m is the rate of entropy production in kj/kg

We are given;

p2 = 100 kpa

p1 = 400 kpa

T_boundary = 315 K

For an ideal gas, R = 0.287 KJ/kg.K

Plugging in the relevant values including the ones initially written in answer a above, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -(-30/315) - 1.1(In(670/980)) - 0.287(In(100/400))

σ'_gen/m = 0.0952 + 0.4183 + 0.3979

σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k

Calculate the viscosity(dynamic) and kinematic viscosity of airwhen

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) dynamic viscosity = $1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-sec$

(b) kinematic viscosity = $1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$

Explanation:

We have given temperature T = 288.15 K

Density $d=1.23kg/m^3$

According to Sutherland's Formula dynamic viscosity is given by

${\mu} = {\mu}_0 \frac {T_0+C} {T + C} \left (\frac {T} {T_0} \right )^{3/2}$ , here

μ = dynamic viscosity in (Pa·s) at input temperature T,

$\mu _0$ = reference viscosity in(Pa·s) at reference temperature T0,

T = input temperature in kelvin,

$T_0$ = reference temperature in kelvin,

C = Sutherland's constant for the gaseous material in question here C =120

$\mu _0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}$

$T_0$ = 291.15

$\mu =4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{291.15+120}{285.15+120}\times \left ( \frac{288.15}{291.15} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}=1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-s$ when T = 288.15 K

For kinematic viscosity :

$\nu = \frac {\mu} {\rho}$

$kinemic\ viscosity=\frac{1.812\times 10^{-5}}{1.23}=1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec$
