Two airstreams are mixed steadily and adiabatically. The first stream enters at 35°C and 30 percent relative humidity at a rate

of 15 m3/min, while the second stream enters at 12°C and 90 percent relative humidity at a rate of 25 m3/min. Assuming that the mixing process occurs at a pressure of 90 kPa, determine the specific humidity, the relative humidity, the dry-bulb temperature, and the volume flow rate of the mixture. Use data from the tables.
a)The specific humidity is __kg H2O/kg dry air.
b)The relative humidity is __ %.
c)The dry-bulb temperature is __ °C.
d)The volume flow rate of the mixture is __m3/min.

Answer:

a)The specific humidity is _0.00881_kg H2O/kg dry air.

b)The relative humidity is _59.8_ %.

c)The dry-bulb temperature is _20.2_ °C.

d)The volume flow rate of the mixture is _39.77_m3/min

Explanation:

First let determine the enthalpy h1 and absolute humidity W1 from the psychometric chart using temperature T1 = 35°C and relative humidity Q1 = 30%

h1 = 62.2kJ/kg

V1 = 0.89m³/kg

W1 = 0.01054

The volume flow rate V'1 = 15m³/min, the mass flow rate m'1 is ,

m'1 = V'1/v1 = 15/0.89 = 16.85kg/min

Also, From temperature T2 = 12°C and relative humidity Q2 = 90% and volume flow rate V'2 = 25m³/min

h2 = 31.9kJ/kg

V2 = 0.82m³/kg

W2 = 0.00785

the mass flow rate m'2is ,

m'2 = V'2/v2 = 25/0.82 = 30.49kg/min

To get the absolute humidity W3 and the enthalpy h3,

m'1/m'2 = (W2-W3)/(W3-W1)

16.85/30.49 = (0.00785-W3)/(W3-0.01054)

0.5526(W3-0.01054) = (0.00785-W3)

0.5526W3 - 0.00582 = 0.00785-W3

0.5526W3 + W3 = 0.00785 + 0.00582

1.5526W3 = 0.01367

W3 = 0.01367/1.5526 = 0.00881

absolute humidity W3 = 0.00881

m'1/m'2 = (h2-h3)/(h3-h1)

16.85/30.49 = (31.9 - h3)/(h3 - 62.2)

0.5526(h3 - 62.2) = (31.9 - h3)

0.5526h3 - 34.37 = 31.9 - h3

0.5526h3 + h3 = 31.9 + 34.37

1.5526h3 = 66.27

h3 = 66.27/1.5526 = 42.68kJ/kg

enthalpy h3 = 42.68kJ/kg

Use W3 and h3 to determine temperature T3, relative humidity Q3 and and specific volume V3 all through psychometric chart

T3 = 20.2°C

Q3 = 59.8%

V3 = 0.84m³/kg

By last of mass conversations, we can determine m3,

m3 = m1 + m2

m3 = 16.85 + 30.49 = 47.34kg/min

Then, the volume flow rate V'3 can be found by,

V'3 = m3*V3

V'3 = 47.34*0.84 = 39.77m³/min.

volume flow rate V'3 = 39.77m³/min.

A 227 pound compressor is supported by four legs that contact the floor of a machine shop. At the bottom of each leg there is a

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1.312 in

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Weight of the compressor, W = 227 pound

Number of legs = 4

Maximum pressure = 42 psi

Now,

Let F be the force taken by the legs

Therefore,

W = 4F

or

227 pound = 4F

or

F = 56.75 pounds

Also,

Force = Pressure × Area

or

56.75 pounds = 42 psi × πr² [ r is the diameter of one leg]

or

r² = 0.4301

or

r = 0.656

therefore,

diameter = 2r = 2 × 0.656

= 1.312 in

Given the following code, what indexes must be passed to the substring method to produce the new String with the value "SCORE"?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

For expr1 = index 5, length 5

For expr2 = index 0, length 4 and index 21, length 5

string quote = "Four score and seven years ago";

string expr1 = quote.Substring(5, 5).ToUpper(); // "SCORE"

string expr2 = quote.Substring(0, 4) + quote.Substring(21, 5).ToLower(); // "fouryears"

Console.WriteLine(expr1);

Console.WriteLine(expr2);

Explanation:

Then code is written in c# and it produces SCORE and f

A pipe of 0.3 m outer diameter at a temperature of 160°C is insulated with a material having a thermal conductivity of k = 0.055

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Q=0.95 W/m

Explanation:

Given that

Outer diameter = 0.3 m

Thermal conductivity of material

$K= 0.055(1+2.8\times 10^{-3}T)\frac{W}{mK}$

So the mean conductivity

$K_m=0.055\left ( 1+2.8\times 10^{-3}T_m \right )$

$T_m=\dfrac{160+273+40+273}{2}$

$T_m=373 K$

$K_m=0.055\left ( 1+2.8\times 10^{-3}\times 373 \right )$

$K_m=0.112 \frac{W}{mK}$

So heat conduction through cylinder

$Q=kA\dfrac{\Delta T}{L}$

$Q=0.112\times \pi \times 0.15^2\times 120$

Q=0.95 W/m

The modulus of elasticity for a ceramic material having 6.0 vol% porosity is 303 GPa. (a) Calculate the modulus of elasticity (i

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

modulus of elasticity for the nonporous material is 340.74 GPa

Explanation:

given data

porosity = 303 GPa

modulus of elasticity = 6.0

solution

we get here modulus of elasticity for the nonporous material Eo that is

E = Eo (1 - 1.9P + 0.9P²) ...............1

put here value and we get Eo

303 = Eo ( 1 - 1.9(0.06) + 0.9(0.06)² )

solve it we get

Eo = 340.74 GPa

A spherical hot-air balloon is initially filled with air at 120 kPa and 20°C with an initial diameter of 5 m. Air enters this ba

adoni [48]

Answer:

time is 17.43 min

Explanation:

given data

initial diameter = 5 m

velocity = 3 m/s

final diameter = 17 m

solution

we will apply here change in change in volume equation that is express as

ΔV = $\frac{4}{3} \pi * (rf)^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi * (ri)^3$ .............1

here ΔV is change in volume and rf is final radius and ri is initial radius

ΔV = $\frac{4}{3} \pi * (8.5)^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi * (2.5)^3$

ΔV = 2507 m³

so

Q = velocity × Area

Q = 3 × π ×(0.5)² = 2.356 m³/s

and

change in time is express as

Δt = $\frac{\Delta V}{Q}$

Δt = $\frac{2507}{2.356}$

Δt = 1046 sec

so change in time is 17.43 min
