A piston-cylinder assembly contains ammonia, initially at a temperature of-20C and a quality of 70%. The ammonia is slowly heated to a final state where the pressure is 6 bar and the temperature is 180C. While the ammonia is heated, its pressure varies linearly with specific volume. For the ammonia, determine the work and heat transfer, each in kJ/kg.
A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 C. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the piston until the air reaches to 0.1 m3 and 1,000 C, in which the air undergoes a polytropic process (PV" const). Assume that heat loss from the cylinder, friction of piston, kinetic and potential effects are negligible. 1) Determine the polytropic constant n. 2) Determine the work transfer in ki for this process, and diseuss its direction. 3) sketch the process in T-V (temperature-volume) diagram.
A flat rectangular door in a mine is submerged froa one side in vater. The door dimensions are 2 n high, 1 n vide and the vater level is 1,5 m higher than the top of the door. The door has two hinges on the vertical edge, 160 mm from each corner and a sliding bolt on the other side in the niddle. Calculate the forces on the hinges and sliding bolt. Hint: Consider the door from a side view and from a plaa vies respectively and take moments about a point each time.)
A roller support acts like a contact boundary condition as it can produce a reaction force as a push response to a body but will not produce a pull force to hold a body from moving away. a)True b)- False
A pendulum has an oscillation frequency (T) which is assumed to depend upon its length (L), load mass (m) and the acceleration of gravity (g). Determine the relationship between oscillation frequency, length, load mass and acceleration of gravity. Differentiate as well which variable does not affect the oscillation frequency.
A closed-loop system has a forward path having two series elements with transfer functions 5 and 1/(s + 1). If the feedback path has a transfer function 2/s, what is the overall transfer function of the system?
A refrigeration cycle rejects Qn 500 Btu/s to a hot reservoir at 540 R, while receiving c200 Btu/s at 240R. This refrigeration cycle a)- is internally reversible b)- is irreversible c)- is impossible d)- cannot be determined
Describe the operational principle of a unitary type air conditioning equipment with a suitable sketch.
What is a truss? What separates a truss from a frame and other forms of rigid bodies?
The average human heart Beats 1.15 times 10 to the power of 5 per day. There are 3.65 times 10 to the power of 2 days in one year. How many times does your heart beat. Write your answer in scientific notation, and round to one decimal place
