A(n) 78-hp compressor in a facility that operates at full load for 2500 h a year is powered by an electric motor that has an efficiency of 93 percent. If the unit cost of electricity is $0.11/kWh, what is the annual electricity cost of this compressor

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $17,206.13

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:  

Annual electricity cost = (P x 0.746 x Ckwh x h) /η  

P = compressor power = 78 hp  

0.746 kw/hp= constant (conversion to kw)

Ckwh = Cost per kilowatt hour = $0.11/kWh  

h = operating hours per year = 2500 h  

η = efficiency = 93% = 0.93 (decimal form)  

Replacing with the values given :  

C = ( 78 hp x 0.746 kw/hp x 0.11 $/kwh x 2500 h ) / 0.93 = $17,206.13

A motor vehicle has a mass of 1.8 tonnes and its wheelbase is 3 m. The centre of gravity of the vehicle is situated in the central plane 0.9 m above the ground and 1.7 m behind the front axle. When moving on the level at 90 km/h the brakes applied and it comes to a rest in a distance of 50 m.
Calculate the normal reactions at the front and rear wheels during the braking period and the least coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the road. (Assume g = 10 m/s2)

Answers

Answer:

1) The normal reactions at the front wheel is 9909.375 N

The normal reactions at the rear wheel is 8090.625 N

2) The least coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the road is 0.625

Explanation:

1) The parameters given are as follows;

Speed, u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

Distance, s it takes to come to rest = 50 m

Mass, m = 1.8 tonnes = 1,800 kg

From the equation of motion, we have;

v² - u² = 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration

∴ 0² - 25² = 2 × a × 50

a = -6.25 m/s²

Force, F =  mass, m × a = 1,800 × (-6.25) = -11,250 N

The coefficient of friction, μ, is given as follows;

[tex]\mu =\dfrac{u^2}{2 \times g \times s} = \dfrac{25^2}{2 \times 10 \times 50} = 0.625[/tex]

Weight transfer is given as follows;

[tex]W_{t}=\dfrac{0.625 \times 0.9}{3}\times \dfrac{6.25}{10}\times 18000 = 2109.375 \, N[/tex]

Therefore, we have for the car at rest;

Taking moment about the Center of Gravity CG;

[tex]F_R[/tex] × 1.3 = 1.7 × [tex]F_F[/tex]

[tex]F_R[/tex] + [tex]F_F[/tex] = 18000

[tex]F_R + \dfrac{1.3 }{1.7} \times F_R = 18000[/tex]

[tex]F_R[/tex] = 18000*17/30 = 10200 N

[tex]F_F[/tex] = 18000 N - 10200 N = 7800 N

Hence with the weight transfer, we have;

The normal reactions at the rear wheel [tex]F_R[/tex]  = 10200 N - 2109.375 N = 8090.625 N

The normal reactions at the front wheel [tex]F_F[/tex] =  7800 N + 2109.375 N = 9909.375 N

2) The least coefficient of friction, μ, is given as follows;

[tex]\mu = \dfrac{F}{R} = \dfrac{11250}{18000} = 0.625[/tex]

The least coefficient of friction, μ = 0.625.

cubical tank 1 meter on each edge is filled with water at 20 degrees C. A cubical pure copper block 0.46 meters on each edge with an initial temperature of 100 degrees C is quickly submerged in the water, causing an amount of water equal to the volume of the smaller cube to spill from the tank. An insulated cover is placed on the tank. The tank is adiabatic. Estimate the equilibrium temperature of the system (block + water). Be sure to state all applicable assumptions.

Answers

Answer:

final temperature = 26.5°

Explanation:

Initial volume of water is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Initial temperature of water = 20° C

Density of water = 1000 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex]

volume of copper block = 0.46 x 0.46 x 0.46 = 0.097 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Initial temperature of copper block = 100° C

Density of copper = 8960 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Final volume of water = 1 - 0.097 = 0.903 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Assumptions:

since tank is adiabatic, there's no heat gain or loss through the wallsthe tank is perfectly full, leaving no room for cooling airtotal heat energy within the tank will be the summation of the heat energy of the copper and the water remaining in the tank.

mass of water remaining in the tank will be density x volume = 1000 x 0.903 = 903 kg

specific heat capacity of water c = 4186 J/K-kg

heat content of water left Hw = mcT = 903 x 4186 x 20 = 75.59 Mega-joules

mass of copper will be density x volume = 8960 x 0.097 = 869.12 kg

specific heat capacity of copper is 385 J/K-kg

heat content of copper Hc = mcT = 869.12 x 385 x 100 = 33.46 Mega-joules

total heat in the system = 75.59 + 33.46 = 109.05 Mega-joules

this heat will be distributed in the entire system

heat energy of water within the system = mcT

where T is the final temperature

= 903 x 4186 x T = 3779958T

for copper, heat will be

mcT = 869.12 x 385 = 334611.2T

these component heats will sum up to the final heat of the system, i.e

3779958T + 334611.2T = 109.05 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex]

4114569.2T = 109.05 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex]

final temperature T = (109.05 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex])/4114569.2 = 26.5°

An aluminium bar 600mm long with a diameter 40mm has a hole drilled in the centre of which 30mm in diameter and 100mm long if the modulus of elasticity is 85GN/M2 calculate the total contraction oon the bar due to comprehensive load of 160KN.

Answers

Answer:

Total contraction on the bar = 1.238 mm

Explanation:

Modulus of Elasticity, E = 85 GN/m²

Diameter of the aluminium bar, [tex]d_{Al} = 40 mm = 0.04 m[/tex]

Load, P = 160 kN

Cross sectional area of the aluminium bar without hole:

[tex]A_1 = \frac{\pi d_{Al}^2 }{4} \\A_1 = \frac{\pi 0.04^2 }{4}\\A_1 = 0.00126 m^2[/tex]

Diameter of hole, [tex]d_h = 30 mm = 0.03 m[/tex]

Cross sectional area of the aluminium bar with hole:

[tex]A_2 = \frac{\pi( d_{Al}^2 - d_{h}^2)}{4} \\A_2 = \frac{\pi (0.04^2 - 0.03^2) }{4}\\A_2 = 0.00055 m^2[/tex]

Length of the aluminium bar, [tex]L_{Al} = 600 mm = 0.6 m[/tex]

Length of the hole, [tex]L_h = 100mm = 0.1 m[/tex]

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole  [tex]= \frac{P * L_{Al}}{A_1 E}[/tex]

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole  [tex]= \frac{160*10^3 * 0.6}{0.00126 * 85 * 10^9 }[/tex]

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole = 96000/107100000

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole = 0.000896

Contraction in aluminium bar with hole  [tex]= \frac{P * L_{h}}{A_2 E}[/tex]

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole  [tex]= \frac{160*10^3 * 0.1}{0.00055 * 85 * 10^9 }[/tex]

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole = 16000/46750000

Contraction in aluminium bar without hole = 0.000342

Total contraction = 0.000896 + 0.000342

Total contraction = 0.001238 m = 1.238 mm
