Answer:

Engine not possible

Explanation:

source temperature T1 = 300 K

sink temperature T2= 283 K

therefore, carnot efficiency of the heat engine

η= 1- T_2/T_1

\eta= 1-\frac{T_1}{T_2}

\eta= 1-\frac{283}{300}

= 0.0566

= 5.66%

claims of work produce W = 100 kW,  mass flow rate = 20 kg/s

Q=mc_p(T_1-T_2)

Q=20\times4.18(300-283)

= 1421.2 kW

now \eta= \frac{W}Q}

now \eta= \frac{100}{1421.2}

=7%

clearly, efficiency is greater than carnot efficiency hence the engine is not possible.

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°.

The pump of a water distribution system is powered by a 6-kW electric motor whose efficiency is 95 percent. The water flow rate
Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Mechanical efficiency (\varepsilon)=63.15%  b) Temperature rise= 0.028ºC

Explanation:

For the item a) you have to define the mechanical power introduced (Wmec) to the system and the power transferred to the water (Pw).

The power input (electric motor) is equal to the motor power multiplied by the efficiency. Thus, Wmec=0.95*6kW=5.7 kW.

Then, the power transferred (Pw) to the fluid is equal to the flow rate (Q) multiplied by the pressure jump \Delta P. So P_W = Q*\Delta P=0.018m^3/s * 200x10^3 Pa=3600W.

The efficiency is defined as the ratio between the output energy and the input energy. Then, the mechanical efficiency is \varepsilon=3.6kW/5.7kW=0.6315=63.15\%

For the b) item you have to consider that the inefficiency goes to the fluid as heat. So it is necessary to use the equation of the heat capacity but in a "flux" way. Calling <em>H</em> to the heat transfered to the fluid, the specif heat of the water and \rho the density of the water:

[tex]H=(5.7-3.6) kW=\rho*Q*c*\Delta T=1000kg/m^3*0.018m^3/s*4186J/(kg \ºC)*\Delta T[/tex]

Finally, the temperature rise is:

\Delta T=2100/75348 \ºC=0.028 \ºC

What are the three most common metals used in die casting?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Aluminium,Copper,Magnesium

Explanation:

The three most common metal of die casting are as follows

1.Aluminium

2.Copper

3.Magnesium

Die casting is the process in which metal is forced in the die to produces the desired casting product.Generally two type of machines are used like cold chamber and hot chamber machining,it depends on the metals.Die casting produces simple shape of casting ,it can not use for complex casting.

What properties should the head of a carpenter’s hammer possess? How would you manufacture a hammer head?
BabaBlast [244]

Properties of Carpenter's hammer possess

Explanation:

1.The head of a carpenter's hammer should possess the impact resistance, so that the chips do not peel off the striking face while working.

2.The hammer head should also be very hard, so that it does not deform while driving or eradicate any nails in wood.

3.Carpenter's hammer is used to impact smaller areas of an object.It can drive nails in the wood,can crush  the rock and shape the metal.It is not suitable for heavy work.

How hammer head is manufactured :

1.Hammer head is produced by metal forging process.

2.In this process metal is heated and this molten metal is placed in the cavities said to be dies.

3.One die is fixed and another die is movable.Ram forces the two dies under the forces which gives the metal desired shape.

4.The third process is repeated for several times.
