Answer:

Power=11.52hp

Explanation:

Given data

p_{1}=15psia\\p_{2}=70psia\\V_{ol}=0.8ft^{3}/s

As

m=p*V_{ol}

Assuming in-compressible flow p is constant

The total change in system mechanical energy calculated as:

Δe=(p₂-p₁)/p

The Power can be calculated as

P=W\\P=m(delta)e\\P=p*V_{ol}*(p_{2}-p_{1})/p\\ P=V_{ol}*(p_{2}-p_{1})\\P=44(psia.ft^{3}/s )*[(\frac{1Btu}{5.404psia.ft^{3} } )-(\frac{1hp}{0.7068Btu/s } )]\\P=11.52hp

A. A 3-kg plastic tank that has a volume of 0.2 m^3 is lled with liquid water. Assuming the density of water is 1000 kg=m^3, det
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The weight of the combined system is the sum of the weight of the water and the weight of the tank

m_{water}=V_{tank}.\rho_{wtaer}\\\\m_{water}=0.2m^3*1000kg/m^3\\\\m_{water}=200 \ kg\\\\m_{total} = m_{water}+m_{tank}\\\\But\ m_{tank}=3kg,therefore:\\\\m_{total} =200kg+3kg\\\\m_{total} =203\ kg\\\\weight_{total}=m_{total}g\\\\weight_{total}=203kg*9.81m/s^2\\\\weight_{total}=1991.43\ N

b) Since the weight of a system can be divided into smaller portions, hence weight is an extensive property.

c) When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they flow through a nozzle, the geometry of the nozzle which is an open system can be chosen as our system.

d) Given that:

\rho_{water}=1000kg/m^3\\\\1kg/m^3=0.062428lb/ft^3\\\\1000kg/m^3=1000kg/m^3*\frac{0.062428lb/ft^3}{kg/m^3}=62.43lb/ft^3\\ \\\rho=SG*\rho_{water}=1.03*62.43=64.272lb/ft^3\\\\P=P_{atm}+\rho g H\\\\P=14.7\ psia+64.272\ lb/ft^3*32.2\ ft/s^2*175\ ft*\frac{1\ ft^2}{12^2\ in^2}*\frac{1\ lbf}{32.2\ lbm.ft/s^2}  \\\\P=92.8\ psia

Air whose density is 0.082 lbm/ft3 enters the duct of an air-conditioning system at a volume flow rate of 450 ft3/min. If the di
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Given:\\V_{flow} =450 ft^3/min\\P=0.082lbm/ft^3\\A=16In

where P is density of air and v flow is volume flow rate, so in order to find velocity of air and mass flow rate formula is given by :

M_{flow} =V_{flow} *P\\\\M_{flow} =450*0.082=36.9ib/min

so velocity is:

v=V_{flow} /A=339.03m/min

Determine the required dimensions of a column with a square cross section to carry an axial compressive load of 6500 lb if its l
exis [7]

Answer: 0.95 inches

Explanation:

A direct load on a column is considered or referred to as an axial compressive load. A direct concentric load is considered axial. If the load is off center it is termed eccentric and is no longer axially applied.

The length= 64 inches

Ends are fixed Le= 64/2 = 32 inches

Factor Of Safety (FOS) = 3. 0

E= 10.6× 10^6 ps

σy= 4000ps

The square cross-section= ia^4/12

PE= π^2EI/Le^2

6500= 3.142^2 × 10^6 × a^4/12×32^2

a^4= 0.81 => a=0.81 inches => a=0.95 inches

Given σy= 4000ps

σallowable= σy/3= 40000/3= 13333. 33psi

Load acting= 6500

Area= a^2= 0.95 ×0.95= 0.9025

σactual=6500/0.9025

σ actual < σallowable

The dimension a= 0.95 inches

Suppose that a wing component on an aircraft is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane-strain fracture toughness of
Orlov [11]

Answer: 133.88 MPa approximately 134 MPa

Explanation:

Given

Plane strains fracture toughness, k = 26 MPa

Stress at which fracture occurs, σ = 112 MPa

Maximum internal crack length, l = 8.6 mm = 8.6*10^-3 m

Critical internal crack length, l' = 6 mm = 6*10^-3 m

We know that

σ = K/(Y.√πa), where

112 MPa = 26 MPa / Y.√[3.142 * 8.6*10^-3)/2]

112 MPa = 26 MPa / Y.√(3.142 * 0.043)

112 = 26 / Y.√1.35*10^-2

112 = 26 / Y * 0.116

Y = 26 / 112 * 0.116

Y = 26 / 13

Y = 2

σ = K/(Y.√πa), using l'instead of l and, using Y as 2

σ = 26 / 2 * [√3.142 * (6*10^-3/2)]

σ = 26 / 2 * √(3.142 *3*10^-3)

σ = 26 / 2 * √0.009426

σ = 26 / 2 * 0.0971

σ = 26 / 0.1942

σ = 133.88 MPa

A composite wall consists of 20 mm thick steel plate backed by insulation brick (k = 0.39 W/mK) of 50 cm thickness and overlaid
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Heat loss=85.9W/m^2

ΔT1(Steel)=0.04C

ΔT2(Brick1)=110.13C

ΔT3(Mwood)=343.6C

ΔT1(Brick2)=154.18C

Explanation:

raise the heat transfer equation from the air inside the wall to the outside air from the wall, because that is where you have the temperature data, to find the heat.

To find the temperatures you use the heat found in the previous step, and you use the conduction and convection equations in each wall layer.

I attached the procedure
