The one that is loaded worst. The overall weight is not important; tongue weight is a matter of loading. Our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer, which has stops to position the cat properly, has under 100 lbs tongue weight. Excessive tongue weight is a Bad Thing because it reduces weight on the towing vehicle's front wheels, leading to instability.
Hot combustion gases are accelerated in a 92% efficient
adiabatic nozzle from low velocity to a specified velocity. The exit velocity
and the exit temp are to be determined.
Given:
T1 = 1020 K à
h1 = 1068.89 kJ/kg, Pr1 = 123.4
P1 = 260 kPa
T1 = 747 degrees Celsius
V1 = 80 m/s ->nN = 92% -> P2
= 85 kPa
Solution:
From the isentropic relation,
Pr2<span> = (P2 / P1)PR1 = (85
kPa / 260 kPa) (123.4) = 40.34 = h2s = 783.92 kJ/kg</span>
There is only one inlet and one exit, and thus, m1 =
m2 = m3. We take the nozzle as the system, which is a
control volume since mass crosses the boundary.
h2a = 1068.89 kJ/kg – (((728.2 m/s)2 –
(80 m/s)2) / 2) (1 kJ/kg / 1000 m2/s2) =
806.95 kJ/kg\
From the air table, we read T2a = 786.3 K
1km=1000m=1000000mm
118km/h=118000000 mm/h
