vectors.
Answers
Answer:
<E1, E2>.
Explanation:
So, in the question above we are given that the Two Electric field vectors E1 and E2 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, we are going to have the i and the j components for the two Electric Field that is E1 and E2 respectively. That is to say the addition we give us a resultant E which is an arbitrary vector;
E = |E| cos θi + |E| sin θj. -------------------(1).
Therefore, if we make use of the components division rule we will have something like what we have below;
x = |E2|/ |E| cos θ and y = |E1|/|E| sin θ
Therefore, we will now have;
E = x |E2| i + y |E1| j.
The base vectors is then Given as <E1, E2>.

Answer:
d[0] = 11111111
d[1] = 11011101
d[2] = 1111011
Explanation:
Assume that the number of bits is 8. The voltage range input is -8 to 7 volts. The range is thus 15V, and the resolution is 15/2^8 = 0.0586 volts. We will first add +8 to the input to convert it to a 0-15v signal. Then find the equivalent bit representation. For 7.8 volts, the binary signal will be all 1's, since the max input voltage for the ADC is 7 volts. For 4.95, we have 4.95+8 = 12.95 volts. Thus, N = 12.95/0.0586 = 221. The binary representation is 11011101. For -0.8, we have -0.8 + 8 = 7.2. Thus, N = 7.2/0.0586 = 123. The binary representation is 1111011.
Thus,
d[0] = 11111111
d[1] = 11011101
d[2] = 1111011

The disk is oriented normal to the upstream velocity. By what percent is the drag reduced if the disk is oriented parallel to the flow?
Answers
Answer:
33.3%
Explanation:
Given that:
specific gravity (SG) = 0.89
Diameter (D) = 0.01 ft/s
Density of oil [tex]\rho= SG\rho _{h20} = 0.89 * 1.94=1.7266\frac{sl}{ft^3}[/tex]
Since the viscosity 10000 times that of water, The reynold number [tex]R_E=\frac{\rho VD}{\mu} =\frac{1.7266*0.01*0.01}{0.234}=7.38*10^{-4}[/tex]
Since RE < 1, the drag coefficient for normal flow is given as: [tex]C_{D1}=\frac{24.4}{R_E}= \frac{20.4}{7.38*10^{-4}}=2.76*10^4[/tex]
the drag coefficient for parallel flow is given as: [tex]C_{D2}=\frac{13.6}{R_E}= \frac{13.6}{7.38*10^{-4}}=1.84*10^4[/tex]
Percent reduced = [tex]\frac{D_1-D_2}{D_2} *100=\frac{2.76-1.84}{3.3}=33.3[/tex] = 33.3%

A refrigerator uses refrigerant-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. The refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kPa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°C. If the compressor consumes 450 W of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the COP of the refrigerator
Answers
Answer:
(a) 0.0064 kg/s
(b) 800 KPa
(c) 2.03
Explanation:
The ideal vapor compression cycle consists of following processes:
Process 1-2 Isentropic compression in a compressor
Process 2-3 Constant-pressure heat rejection in a condenser
Process 3-4 Throttling in an expansion device
Process 4-1 Constant-pressure heat absorption in an evaporator
For state 4 (while entering compressor):
x₄ = 34% = 0.34
P₄ = 120 KPa
from saturated table:
h₄ = hf + x hfg = 22.4 KJ/kg + (0.34)(214.52 KJ/kg)
h₄ = 95.34 KJ/kg
For State 1 (Entering Compressor):
h₁ = hg at 120 KPa
h₁ = 236.99 KJ/kg
s₁ = sg at 120 KPa = 0.94789 KJ/kg.k
For State 3 (Entering Expansion Valve)
Since 3 - 4 is an isenthalpic process.
Therefore,
h₃ = h₄ = 95.34 KJ/kg
Since this state lies at liquid side of saturation line, therefore, h₃ must be hf. Hence from saturation table we find the pressure by interpolation.
P₃ = 800 KPa
For State 2 (Leaving Compressor)
Since, process 2-3 is at constant pressure. Therefore,
P₂ = P₃ = 800 KPa
T₂ = 70°C (given)
Saturation temperature at 800 KPa is 31.31°C, which is less than T₂. Thus, this is super heated state. From super heated property table:
h₂ = 306.9 KJ/kg
(a)
Compressor Power = m(h₂ - h₁)
where,
m = mass flow rate of refrigerant.
m = Compressor Power/(h₂ - h₁)
m = (0.450 KJ/s)/(306.9 KJ/kg - 236.99 KJ/kg)
m = 0.0064 kg/s
(b)
Condenser Pressure = P₂ = P₃ = 800 KPa
(c)
The COP of ideal vapor compression cycle is given as:
COP = (h₁ - h₄)/(h₂ - h₁)
COP = (236.99 - 95.34)/(306.9 - 236.99)
COP = 2.03

Question:
The spherical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 2 m and a thickness of 10 mm. A strain gage having a length of 20 mm is attached to it, and it is observed to increase in length by 0.012 mm when the vessel is pressurized. Determine the pressure causing this deformation, and find the maximum in-plane shear stress, and the absolute maximum shear stress at a point on the outer surface of the vessel. The material is steel, for which Eₛₜ = 200 GPa and vₛₜ = 0.3.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Given:
d = 2m = 2*10³ = 2000
thickness, t = 10 mm
Length of strain guage = 20 mm
i) Let's calculate d/t
[tex] \frac{d}{t} = \frac{2000}{10} = 200 [/tex]
Since [tex] \frac{d}{t}[/tex] is greater than length of strain guage, the pressure vessel is thin.
For the minimum normal stress, we have:
[tex] \sigma max= \frac{pd}{4t} [/tex]
[tex] \sigma max= \frac{2000p}{4 * 20} [/tex]
= 50p
For the minimum normal strain due to pressure, we have:
[tex] E_max= \frac{change in L}{L_g} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{0.012}{20} = 0.60*10^-^3[/tex]
The minimum normal stress for a thin pressure vessel is 0.
[tex] \sigma _min = 0 [/tex]
i) Let's use Hookes law to calculate the pressure causing this deformation.
[tex] E_max = \frac{1}{E} [\sigma _max - V(\sigma _initial + \sigma _min)] [/tex]
Substituting figures, we have:
[tex] 0.60*10^-^3 = \frac{1}{200*10^9} [50p - 0.3 (50p + 0)] [/tex]
[tex] 120 * 10^6 = 35p [/tex]
[tex] p = \frac{120*10^6}{35}[/tex]
[tex] p = 3.429 * 10^6 [/tex]
p = 3.4 MPa
ii) Calculating the maximum in-plane shear stress, we have:
[tex] \frac{\sigma _max - \sigma _int}{2}[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{50p - 50p}{2} = 0 [/tex]
Max in plane shear stress = 0
iii) To find the absolute maximum shear stress at a point on the outer surface of the vessel, we have:
[tex] \frac{\sigma _max - \sigma _min}{2}[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{50p - 0}{2} = 25p [/tex]
since p = 3.429 MPa
25p = 25 * 3.4 MPa
= 85.71 ≈ 85.7 MPa
The absolute maximum shear stress at a point on the outer surface of the vessel is 85.7 MPa

The volume of the aeration tank was first calculated, V = 5000 m^3 / day.
The value of V was consequently substituted into the formula for the wasted sludge flow. The value of the wasted sludge flow was calculated to be Qw = 208.33 m^3 / day.

If the refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the ratio of the maximum to minimum pressures in the cycle.
Answers
Answer:
7.15
Explanation:
Firstly, the COP of such heat pump must be measured that is,
[tex]COP_{HP}=\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_L}[/tex]
Therefore, the temperature relationship, [tex]T_H=1.15\;T_L[/tex]
Then, we should apply the values in the COP.
[tex]=\frac{1.15\;T_L}{1.15-1}[/tex]
[tex]=7.67[/tex]
The number of heat rejected by the heat pump must then be calculated.
[tex]Q_H=COP_{HP}\times W_{nst}[/tex]
[tex]=7.67\times5=38.35[/tex]
We must then calculate the refrigerant mass flow rate.
[tex]m=0.264\;kg/s[/tex]
[tex]q_H=\frac{Q_H}{m}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{38.35}{0.264}=145.27[/tex]
The [tex]h_g[/tex] value is 145.27 and therefore the hot reservoir temperature is 64° C.
The pressure at 64 ° C is thus 1849.36 kPa by interpolation.
And, the lowest reservoir temperature must be calculated.
[tex]T_L=\frac{T_H}{1.15}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{64+273}{1.15}=293.04[/tex]
[tex]=19.89\°C[/tex]
the lowest reservoir temperature = 258.703 kpa
So, the pressure ratio should be = 7.15
