Assume that a particular temperature probe approximates first-order behavior in a particular application, it has a time constant

of 6s, and it is suddenly subjected to a temperature step from an unknown starting point to 400°F. If the termperature indicated after 20 seconds is 387°F, then what was the temperature at the starting point?

A petrol engine produces 20 hp using 35 kW of heat transfer from burning fuel. What is its thermal efficiency, and how much powe
hoa [83]

Answer:

efficiency =42.62%

AMOUNT OF POWER REJECTED IS 20.080 kW

Explanation:

given data:

power 20 hp

heat energy = 35kW

power production = 20 hp = 20* 746 W = 14920 Watt   [1 hp =746 watt]

efficiency = \frac{power}{heat\ required}

efficiency = \frac{14920}{35*10^3}

                = 0.4262*10^100

                 =42.62%

b) heat\ rejected = heat\ required - amount\ of\ power\ generated

                           = 35*10^3 - 14920

                           = 20.080 kW

AMOUNT OF POWER REJECTED IS 20.080 kW

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The procedure for determining the presence of non-condensable gases in refrigerant contained in an external recovery tank utilizes the principle that non-condensable gases increases the pressure of the refrigerant (compared to the saturation pressure).

Explanation:

The existence of non-condensable gases gives rise to an increase in the pressure of the refrigerant, this generates supplementary thermal resistance in the refrigeration circuit, which in turn decreases the efficiency of the system.

Discuss your interpretation of the confidence-precision trade-off, and provide a few examples of how you might make a choice in
LenKa [72]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

Our text describes a trade-off that we must make as engineers between our confidence in the value of a parameter versus the precision with which we know the value of that parameter. That trade-off might be affected by whether we are looking at a two-sided or bounded (one-sided) interval.

Question: Discuss your interpretation of the confidence-precision trade-off, and provide a few examples of how you might make a choice in one direction or the other in an engineering situation.

Answer: A balancing point is required to be reached to obtain a better confidence level in the predicted values.

Explanation:

The confidence interval and precision are the two terms that aims at providing the accurate estimation of the measurability of an object. If the precision increases, we can compromise on the confidence level and if the confidence level increases, then the precision of the predicted value also dilutes.

Thus a balance point is required to be reached between these two variables so that we get better confidence in the values being predicted without losing the correct estimation on precision. Ensuring that both the confidence and precision are maintained.

A soil element is subjected to a minor principle stress of 50 kPa on a plane rotated 20 ° counterclockwise from vertical. If the
Bad White [126]

Answer:

=>> 167.3 kpa.

=>> 60° from horizontal face.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to assist us in solving this kind of question;

=>> "A soil element is subjected to a minor principle stress of 50 kPa on a plane rotated 20 ° counterclockwise from vertical. "

=>>"If the deviator stress is 120 kPa and the shear strength parameters are a friction angle of 30° and a cohesion of 5 kPa."

The orientation of this plane with respect to the major principle stress plane = 50 tan^2 (45 + 30/2) + 10 tan ( 45 + 30/2).

magnitude of the stresses on the failure plane = 167.3 kpa.

The orientation of this plane with respect to the major principle stress plane => x = 60 cos 60° = 30kpa.

y = 60 sin 60° = 30√3 = sheer stress.

the orientation of this plane with respect to the major principle stress plane.

Theta = 45 + 15 = 60°.

Let Deterministic Quicksort be the non-randomized Quicksort which takes the first element as a pivot, using the partition routin
juin [17]

Answer:

Answer for the question:

Let Deterministic Quicksort be the non-randomized Quicksort which takes the first element as a pivot, using the partition routine that we covered in class on the quicksort slides. Consider another almost-best case for quicksort, in which the pivot always splits the arrays 1/3: 2/3, i.e., one third is on the left, and two thirds are on the right, for all recursive calls of Deterministic Quicksort. (a) Give the runtime recurrence for this almost-best case. (b) Use the recursion tree to argue why the runtime recurrence solves to Theta (n log n). You do not need to do big-Oh induction. (c) Give a sequence of 4 distinct numbers and a sequence of 13 distinct numbers that cause this almost-best case behavior. (Assume that for 4 numbers the array is split into 1 element on the left side, the pivot, and two elements on the right side. Similarly, for 13 numbers it is split with 4 elements on the left, the pivot, and 8 elements on the right side.)

is given in the attachment.
