Consider two houses that are identical, except that the walls are built using bricks in one house, and wood in the other. The walls of the brick house are twice as thick. Which house do you think will be more energy efficient?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Walls Built Using Bricks and Wood

The brick house is more energy-efficient than the one built with wood.

Explanation:

Because of their high thermal mass, which gives bricks the ability to absorb heat and release it over time, bricks remain more energy-efficient than other building materials, including wood.  In summer, bricks leave your home cool.  In winter, they make it warm.  With these two advantages provided by bricks over other building materials, bricks are the most energy-efficient building material.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 6 MPa, 600°C, and 80 m/s and leaves at 50 kPa, 100°C, and 140 m/s. If the power output of the turbine is 5 MW, determine (a) the reversible power output and (b) the second-law efficiency of the turbine. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C.

Answers

Answer:

(a) the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw

(b) The second-law efficiency of he turbine = 86.05%

Explanation:

In state 1: the steam has a pressure of 6 MPa and 600°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state.

h1 = 3658 kJ/kg s1=7.167 kJ/kgK

In state 2: the steam has a pressure of 50 kPa and 100°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state

h2 = 2682kl/kg S2= 7.694 kJ/kg

Assuming that the energy balance equation given  

Wout=m [h1-h2+(v1²-v2²) /2]

Let

W =5 MW

V1= 80 m/s  V2= 140 m/s

h1 = 3658kJ/kg  h2 = 2682 kJ/kg

∴5 MW x1000 kW/ 1 MW =m [(3658-2682)+ ((80m/s)²-(140m/s)²)/2](1N /1kg m/ s²) *(1KJ/1000 Nm)

m = 5.158kg/s

Consider the energy balance equation given  

Wrev,out =Wout-mT0(s1-s2)

Substitute Wout =5 MW m = 5.158kg/s 7

s1=  7.167 kJ/kg-K            s2= 7.694kJ/kg-K and 25°C .

Wrev,out=(5 MW x 1000 kW /1 MW) -5.158x(273+25) Kx(7.167-7.694)

= 5810 kW

(a) Therefore, the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw.

The given values of quantities were substituted and the reversible power output are calculated.

(b) Calculating the second law efficiency of the turbine:  

η=Wout/W rev,out

Let Wout =  5 MW and Wrev,out = 5810 kW  

η=(5 MW x 1000 kW)/(1 MW *5810)  

η= 86.05%

Answers

Answer:

H(s) = 20 / [ 1 + s / 10^5 ]^2

Explanation:

Given data:

cutoff frequency = 100 kHz

stopband attenuation rate = 40 dB/decade

nominal passband gain = 20 dB

new nominal passband gain at cutoff = 14 dB

Represent the transfer function H(s)

The attenuation rate show that there are two(2) poles

H(s) = k / [ 1 + s/Wc ]^2  ----- ( 1 )

where : Wc = 100 kHz = 10^5 Hz , K = 20 log k = 20 dB ∴ k = 20

Input values into equation 1

H(s) = 20 / [ 1 + s / 10^5 ]^2

The temperature gradient in a spherical (or cylindrical) wall at steady state will always decrease (in magnitude) with increasing distance from the center (line), i.e. radial distance.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Yes it is true that the Temperature gradient would also decrease with magnitude just as the distances rise from the centre line.

We have this cylinder equation as

[T1-T2 / ln(r1-r2)]2πKL

The radial distance is r2-r1

The gradient of temperature is T1-T2

From the equation,

The temperature gradient has a direct and proportional relationship to radial distance

T1-T2 ∝ ln(r2-r1)

1/T1-T2 = k(r2-r1)

This inverse relationship above confirms that the statement is true

The propeller shaft of the submarine experiences both torsional and axial loads. Draw Mohr's Circle for a stress element on the outside surface of the solid shaft. Determine the principal stresses, the maximum in-plane shear stress and average normal stress using Mohr's Circle.

Answers

Answer: Attached below is the missing detail and Mohr's circle.

i) б1 =  9.6 Ksi

б2 = -10.7 ksi

ii) 10.2 Ksi

iii)  -0.51Ksi

Explanation:

First step :

direct compressive stress on shaft

бd = P / π/4 * d^2

      = -20 / 0.785 * 5^2  = -1.09 Ksi

shear stress at the outer surface due to torsion

ζ = 16*T / πd^3

  = (16 * 250 ) / π * 5^3  = 010.19 Ksi

Calculate the Principal stress, maximum in-plane shear stress and average normal stress

Using Mohr's circle ( attached below )

i) principal stresses:

б1 = 4.8 cm * 2 = 9.6 Ksi

б2 = -5.35 cm * 2 = -10.7 ksi

ii) maximum in-plane shear stress

ζ  = radius of Mohr's circle

   = 5.1 cm = 10.2 Ksi   ( Given that ; 1 cm = 2Ksi )

iii) average normal stress

 = 9.6 + ( - 10.7 ) / 2

  = -0.51Ksi

A 0.82-in-diameter aluminum rod is 5.5 ft long and carries a load of 3000 lbf. Find the tensile stress, the total deformation, the unit strains, and the change in the rod diameter.

Answers

Answer:

Tensile stress = 0.1855Kpsi

Total deformation = 0.0012243 in

Unit strain =  1.855 *10^-5   or  18.55μ

Change in the rod diameter = 5.02 * 10^ -6 in

Explanation:

Data given: D= 0.82 in

                   L = 5.5 ft * 12 = 66 in

load (p) = 3000 (Ibf) /32.174 = 93.243 Ibm

Area = (π/4) D² = (π/4) 0.82²  = 0.502655 in²

∴ Tensile stress Rt = P/A = 93.243/0.502655 = 185.50099 pound/in²

                           Rt = 0.1855 Kpsi

∴ Total deformation = PL / AE = Rt * L/ Eal

                                 = 0.1855 * 10³  * 66 / 10000 * 10³

                                 = 0.0012243 in

∴the unit strains = total deformation / L = 0.0012243/ 66

                          =0.00001855 = 1.855 *10^-5

                         = 18.55μ

∴ Change in rod   Δd/ d = μ ΔL/L

                           = (0.33) 1.855 *10^-5 * 0.82

                           = 5.02 * 10^ -6 in

The right answer is "2.2099 m³".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass,

m = 5 kg

Temperature,

T = 35℃

or,

  = 35 + 273

Pressure,

P = 200 kPa

Gas constant,

R = 0.2870 kj/kgK

By using the ideal gas equation,

The volume will be:

⇒ [tex]PV=mRT[/tex]

or,

⇒    [tex]V=\frac{mRT}{P}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

a. True
b. false

Answers

Answer:

Hence the given statement is false.

Explanation:

For low-speed subsonic wind tunnels, the air density remains nearly constant decreasing the cross-section area cause the flow to extend velocity, and reduce pressure. Similarly increasing the world cause to decrease and therefore the pressure to extend.

The speed within the test section is decided by the planning of the tunnel.  

Thus by adjusting the pressure difference won't change the worth of test section velocity.
