Ilya [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Some types of errors are:

  1. Environmental Error
  2. Instrumental Errors
  3. Observational Errors.
  4. Random Errors.

Explanation:

Ways to minimize errors are:

  1. Double check all measurements for accuracy.
  2. Double check your formulas are correct.
  3. Make sure observers and measurement takers are well trained.
  4. Make the measurement with the instrument that has the highest precision.
  5. Take the measurements under controlled conditions.

A well-insulated tank in a vapor power plant operates at steady state. Saturated liquid water enters at inlet 1 at a rate of 125
kompoz [17]

Answer:

a. The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

b. The temperature (in o F) is 200.8°F

Explanation:

We assume that potential energy and kinetic energy are negligible and the control volume operates at a steady state.

Given

a. The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

b.

m1 = Rate at inlet 1 = 125lbm/s

m2 = Rate at inlet 2 = 10lbm/s

The mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is calculated as m1 + m2

Mass flow rate = 125lbm/s + 10lbm/s

Mass flow rate = 135lbm/s

Hence, the mass flow rate (in lbm/s) is 135lbm/s

b. To calculate the temperature.

First we need to determine the enthalpy h1 at 14.7psia

Using table A-3E (thermodynamics)

h1 = 180.15 Btu/Ibm

h2 at 14.7psia and 60°F = 28.08 Btu/Ibm

Calculating h3 using the following formula

h3 = (h1m1 + h2m2) / M3

h3 = (180.15 * 125 + 28.08 * 10)/135

h3 = 168.8855555555555

h3 = 168.89 Btu/Ibm

To get the final temperature; we make use of table A-2E of thermodynamics.

Because h3 < h1, it means the liquid is at a compressed state.

The corresponding temperature at h3 = 168.89 is 200.8°F

The temperature (in o F) is 200.8°F

The total floor area of a building, including below-grade space but excluding unenclosed areas, measured from the exterior of th
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Gross building area

Explanation:

The Gross building area refers to the entire area of a building covering all the floors. The measurement is expressed in square feet. The Gross building area also includes basements, penthouses, and mezzanines. It is calculated by estimating the exterior dimension of the building. Storage rooms, laundries, staircases are also a part of the gross building area.

A steady tensile load of 5.00kN is applied to a square bar, 12mm on a side and having a length of 1.65m. compute the stress in t
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The stress in the bar is 34.72 MPa.

The design factor (DF) for each case is:

A) DF=0.17

B) DF=0.09

C) DF=0.125

D) DF=0.12

E) DF=0.039

F) DF=1.26

G) DF=5.5

Explanation:

The design factor is the relation between design stress and failure stress. In the case of ductile materials like metals, the failure stress considered is the yield stress. In the case of plastics or ceramics, the failure stress considered is the breaking stress (ultimate stress). If the design factor is less than 1, the structure or bar will endure the applied stress. By the opposite side, when the DF is higher than 1, the structure will collapse or the bar will break.

we will calculate the design stress in this case:

\displaystyle \sigma_{dis}=\frac{T_l}{Sup}=\frac{5.00KN}{(12\cdot10^{-3}m)^2}=34.72MPa

The design factor for metals is:

DF=\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{f}}=\frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{y}}

The design factor for plastic and ceramics is:

DF=\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{f}}=\frac{\sigma_{dis}}{\sigma_{u}}

We now need to know the yield stress or the ultimate stress for each material. We use the AISI and ASTM charts for steels, materials charts for non-ferrous materials and plastics safety charts for the plastic materials.

For these cases:

A) The yield stress of AISI 120 hot-rolled steel (actually is AISI 1020) is 205 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{205MPa}=0.17

B) The yield stress of AISI 8650 OQT 1000 steel is 385 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{385MPa}=0.09

C) The yield stress of ductile iron A536-84 (60-40-18) is 40Kpsi, this is 275.8 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{275.8MPa}=0.125

D) The yield stress of aluminum allot 6061-T6 is 290 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{290MPa}=0.12

E) The yield stress of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V annealed (certified by manufacturers) is 880 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{880MPa}=0.039

F) The ultimate stress of rigid PVC plastic (certified by PVC Pipe Association) is 4Kpsi or 27.58 MPa, therefore:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{27.58 MPa}=1.26

In this case, the bar will break.

F) You have to consider that phenolic plastics are used as matrix in composite materials and seldom are used alone with no reinforcement. In this question is not explained if this material is reinforced or not, therefore I will use the ultimate stress of most pure phenolic plastics, in this case, 6.31 MPa:

DF=\displaystyle\frac{34.72MPa}{6.31 MPa}=5.5

This material will break.

Small droplets of carbon tetrachloride at 68 °F are formed with a spray nozzle. If the average diameter of the droplets is 200 u
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 68 °F

average diameter = 200 µm

to find out

what is the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets

solution

we know here surface tension of carbon tetra chloride at 68 °F is get from table 1.6 physical properties of liquid that is

σ = 2.69 × 10^{-2} N/m

so average radius = \frac{diameter}{2} =  100 µm = 100 ×10^{-6} m

now here we know relation between pressure difference and surface tension

so we can derive difference pressure as

2π×σ×r = Δp×π×r²    .....................1

here r is radius and  Δp pressure difference and σ surface tension

Δp = \frac{2 \sigma }{r}    

put here value

Δp = \frac{2*2.69*10^{-2}}{100*10^{-6}}  

Δp = 538

so the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the droplets is 538 Pa
