Some project managers prefer the PERT chart over the Gantt chart because it clearly illustrates task dependencies. A PERT chart, however, can be much more difficult to interpret, especially on complex projects. Alternatively, some project managers may choose to use both techniques. If you are the project manager of a residential construction project, will you prefer PERT chart to Gantt chart? Explain why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

PERT Chart and GANTT Chart

As the project manager of a residential construction project, I will prefer the PERT chart to the GANTT chart because a PERT chart displays task dependencies unlike a Gantt chart.  With the PERT chart, the sequence of tasks is clearly mapped out.  Dependent tasks are carried out when other tasks that they depend on have been executed.

Explanation:

By definition, a Gantt chart is like a bar chart that lays out project tasks and timelines using bars.  On the other hand, a PERT chart follows a structure in the form of flow charts or network diagrams.  It displays all the project tasks in separate boxes.  The boxes are then connected with arrows which clearly show the task dependencies.

If it is struck by a rigid block having a weight of 550 lblb and traveling at 2 ft/sft/s , determine the maximum stress in the cylinder. Neglect the mass of the cylinder. Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

Answers

This question is incomplete, The missing image is uploaded along this answer below;

Answer:

the maximum stress in the cylinder is 3.23 ksi

 

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and the diagram below;

First we determine the initial Kinetic Energy;

T = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]mv²

we substitute

⇒ T = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × (550/32.2) × (2)²

T = 34.16149 lb.ft

T =  ( 34.16149 × 12 ) lb.in  

T = 409.93788 lb.in

Now, the volume will be;

V = [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex]d²L

from the diagram; d = 0.5 ft and L = 1.5 ft

so we substitute

V =  [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex] × ( 0.5 × 12 in )² × ( 1.5 × 12 in )

V = 508.938 in³

So by conservation of energy;

Initial energy per unit volume = Strain energy per volume

⇒ T/V = σ²/2E

from the image; E = 6.48(10⁶) kip

so we substitute

⇒ 409.93788 / 508.938 = σ²/2[6.48(10⁶)]

508.938σ² =  5,312,794,924.8

σ² = 10,438,982.5967  

σ = √10,438,982.5967

σ = 3230.9414  

σ = 3.2309 ksi  ≈ 3.23 ksi    { three significant figures }

Therefore, the maximum stress in the cylinder is 3.23 ksi

Which of these parts reduces the amount of pollutants in the engine exhaust?
A. Transmission
B. Catalytic converter
C. Tailpipe
D. Muffler

Answers

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Catalytic convertor with in the exhaust pipes of any vehicle converts harmful gases (such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)) produced by combustion of fossil fuels (petrol, diesel etc.) into less harmful/toxic pollutants by acting as a catalyst for redox reaction. A catalytic convertor releases some mild gases from the exhaust like less harmful CO2, nitrogen and water vapour (steam)

Hence, option B is correct

As part of a heat treatment process, cylindrical, 304 stainless steel rods of 100-mm diameter are cooled from an initial temperature of 500 C by suspending them in an oil bath at 30 C. If a convection coefficient of 500 W/m2 K is maintained by circulation of the oil, how long does it take for the centerline of a rod to reach a temperature of 50 C, at which point it is withdrawn from the bath

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter = 100 mm

initial temperature = 500 ° C

Conventional coefficient = 500 W/m^2 K

length  = 1 m

We obtain the following data from the tables A-1;

For the stainless steel of the rod [tex]\overline T = 548 \ K[/tex]

[tex]\rho = 7900 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

[tex]K = 19.0 \ W/mk \\ \\ C_p = 545 \ J/kg.K[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 4.40 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2/s \\ \\ B_i = \dfrac{h(\rho/4)}{K} \\ \\ =0.657[/tex]

Here, we can't apply the lumped capacitance method, since Bi > 0.1

[tex]\theta_o = \dfrac{T_o-T_{\infty}}{T_i -T_\infty}} \\ \\ \theta_o = \dfrac{50-30}{500 -30}} \\ \\ \theta_o = 0.0426\\[/tex]

[tex]0.0426 = c_1 \ exp (- E^2_1 F_o_)\\ \\ \\ 0.0426 = 1.1382 \ exp (-10.9287)^2 \ f_o \\ \\ = f_o = \dfrac{In(0.0374)}{0.863} \\ \\ f_o = 3.81[/tex]

[tex]t_f = \dfrac{f_o r^2}{\alpha} \\ \\ t_f = \dfrac{3.81 \times (0.05)^2}{4.40 \times 10^{-6}} \\ \\ t_f= 2162.5 \\ \\ t_f = 36 mins[/tex]

However, on a single rod, the energy extracted is:

[tex]\theta = pcv (T_i - T_{\infty} )(1 - \dfrac{2 \theta}{c} J_1 (\zeta) ) \\ \\ = 7900 \\times 546 \times 0.007854 \times (500 -300) (1 - \dfrac{2 \times 0.0426}{1.3643}) \\ \\ \theta = 1.54 \times 10^7 \ J[/tex]

Hence, for centerline temperature at 50 °C;

The surface temperature is:

[tex]T(r_o,t) = T_{\infty} +(T_1 -T_{\infty}) \theta_o \ J_o(\zeta_1) \\ \\ = 30 + (500-30) \times 0.0426 \times 0.5386 \\ \\ \mathbf{T(r_o,t) = 41.69 ^0 \ C}[/tex]

A 10 cm thick slab (density 8530 kg/m3 , specific heat 380J/kg K, conductivity 110 W/m K) initially at 650C is being cooled by air at 15C (convection coefficient 220 W/m2 K) at left surface. The right surface is insulated. We want to estimate temperature in the slab. a. What will be the temperature of the slab after a very long time

Answers

Answer:

The temperature after a long time will return to 15°C

Explanation:

Determine the temperature of the slab after a very long time

First we calculate the heat flow for m^2 area normal to the surface

= q / A = 650°c - 15°C / ( 1 / h  + L / K )

           = 635°c  / ( 1 / 220 + 0.1 / 110 )  = 116.416 kw/m^2

Total heat content in the slab is calculated as

= m* c * ΔT

= 8530 * A * 0.1 * 380 * ( 650 - 15 )

= 205828.9  kJ/m^2

The temperature will return to 15°C after a long time

A 4-L pressure cooker has an operating pressure of 175 kPa. Initially, one-half of the volume is filled with liquid and the other half with vapor. If it is desired that the pressure cooker not run out of liquid water for 75 min, determine the highest rate of heat transfer allowed.

Answers

Answer:

the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³

V[tex]_f[/tex] = V[tex]_g[/tex] = 0.002 m³

Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);

at pressure p = 175 kPa;

v[tex]_f[/tex] = 0.001057 m³/kg

v[tex]_g[/tex] = 1.0037 m³/kg

u[tex]_f[/tex] = 486.82 kJ/kg

u[tex]_g[/tex] 2524.5 kJ/kg

h[tex]_g[/tex] = 2700.2 kJ/kg

So the initial mass of the water;

m₁ = V[tex]_f[/tex]/v[tex]_f[/tex] + V[tex]_g[/tex]/v[tex]_g[/tex]

we substitute

m₁ = 0.002/0.001057  + 0.002/1.0037

m₁ = 1.89414 kg

Now, the final mass will be;

m₂ = V/v[tex]_g[/tex]

m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037

m₂ = 0.003985 kg

Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;

m[tex]_{out[/tex] = m₁ - m₂

m[tex]_{out[/tex] = 1.89414  - 0.003985

m[tex]_{out[/tex] = 1.890155 kg

so, Initial internal energy will be;

U₁ = m[tex]_f[/tex]u[tex]_f[/tex] + m[tex]_g[/tex]u[tex]_g[/tex]

U₁ = (V[tex]_f[/tex]/v[tex]_f[/tex])u[tex]_f[/tex]  + (V[tex]_g[/tex]/v[tex]_g[/tex])u[tex]_g[/tex]

we substitute

U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82)  + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)

U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387

U₁ = 926.165675 kJ

Now, using Energy balance;

E[tex]_{in[/tex] -  E[tex]_{out[/tex] = ΔE[tex]_{sys[/tex]

QΔt - m[tex]_{out[/tex]h[tex]_{out[/tex] = m₂u₂ - U₁

QΔt - m[tex]_{out[/tex]h[tex]_g[/tex] = m₂u[tex]_g[/tex] - U₁

given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec

so we substitute

Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675

Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675

Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965

Q(4500) = 4187.690955

Q = 4187.690955 / 4500

Q = 0.9306 kW

Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW

The given values is:

Error probability,

p = 0.01

Received digits,

n = 10
