A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16% of the cylinder volume at bottom dead center and the crankshaft rotates at 2400 RPM. The processes within each cylinder are modeled as an air-standard Otto cycle with a pressure of 14.5 lbf/in. 2 and a temperature of 60 8 F at the beginning of compression. The maximum temperature in the cycle is 5200 8 R.

5) The dimension of the cylinder bore diameter = 3.7 in. = 0.09398 m
Stroke length = 3.4 in. = 0.08636 m.
The volume of the cylinder v₁= 0.08636 ×(0.09398²)/4 = 5.99×10⁻⁴ m³
The clearance volume = 16% of cylinder volume = 0.16×5.99×10⁻⁴ m³
The clearance volume, v₂ = 9.59 × 10⁻⁵ m³
p₁ = 14.5 lbf/in.² = 99973.981 Pa
T₁ = 60 F = 288.706 K
[tex]\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} \right )^{K-1}[/tex]
Otto cycle T-S diagram
T₂ = 288.706*[tex]6.25^{0.393}[/tex] = 592.984 K
The maximum temperature = T₃ = 5200 R = 2888.89 K
[tex]\dfrac{T_{3}}{T_{4}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{4}}{v_{3}} \right )^{K-1}[/tex]
T₄ = 2888.89 / [tex]6.25^{0.393}[/tex] = 1406.5 K
Work done, W = [tex]c_v[/tex]×(T₃ - T₂) - [tex]c_v[/tex]×(T₄ - T₁)
0.718×(2888.89 - 592.984) - 0.718×(1406.5 - 288.706) = 845.88 kJ/kg
The power developed in an Otto cycle = W×Cycle per second
= 845.88 × 2400 / 60 = 33,835.377 kW = 45373.99 ≈ 45374 hP.

Answers
Answer:
α = kt
ω = [tex]\frac{kt^2}{2}[/tex]
θ = [tex]\frac{kt^3}{6}[/tex]
Explanation:
given data
Initial velocity ω = 0
time t = 10 s
Number of revolutions = 20
solution
we will take here first α = kt .....................1
and as α = [tex]\frac{d\omega}{dt}[/tex]
so that
[tex]\frac{d\omega}{dt}[/tex] = kt ..................2
now we will integrate it then we will get
∫dω = [tex]\int_{0}^{t} kt\ dt[/tex] .......................3
so
ω = [tex]\frac{kt^2}{2}[/tex]
and
ω = [tex]\frac{d\theta}{dt}[/tex] ..............4
so that
[tex]\frac{d\theta}{dt}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{kt^2}{2}[/tex]
now we will integrate it then we will get
∫dθ = [tex]\int_{0}^{t}\frac{kt^2}{2} \ dt[/tex] ...............5
solve it and we get
θ = [tex]\frac{kt^3}{6}[/tex]
One kg of an idea gas is contained in one side of a well-insulated vessel at 800 kPa. The other side of the vessel is under vacuum. The two sides are separated by a piston that is initially held in place by the pins. The pins are removed and the gas suddenly expands until it hits the stops. What happens to the internal energy of the gas?
a. internal energy goes up
b. internal energy goes down
c. internal energy stays the same
d. we need to know the volumes to make the calculation
Answers
Answer:
Option C = internal energy stays the same.
Explanation:
The internal energy will remain the same or unchanged because this question has to do with a concept in physics or classical chemistry (in thermodynamics) known as Free expansion.
So, the internal energy will be equals to the multiplication of the change in temperature, the heat capacity (keeping volume constant) and the number of moles. And in free expansion the internal energy is ZERO/UNCHANGED.
Where, the internal energy, ∆U = 0 =quantity of heat, q - work,w.
The amount of heat,q = Work,w.
In the concept of free expansion the only thing that changes is the volume.
10 kg/s Propane at 10 bar and 20 C is directed to an adiabatic rigid mixer and is mixed with 20 kg/s Propane at 10 bar and 40 C. What is the final volumetric flow rate in (m3/s) of the resulting mixture.
Answers
Answer:
The final volumetric flow rate will be "76.4 m³/s".
Explanation:
The given values are:
[tex]\dot{m_{1}}=10 \ kg/s[/tex]
[tex]\dot{m_{2}}=20 \ Kg/s[/tex]
[tex]T_{1}=293 \ K[/tex]
[tex]T_{2}=313 \ K[/tex]
[tex]P_{1}=P_{2}=P_{3}=10 \ bar[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ [tex]E_{in}=E_{out}[/tex]
[tex]\dot{m_{1}}h_{1}+\dot{m_{2}}h_{2}=\dot{m_{3}}h_{3}[/tex]
[tex]e_{1}\dot{v_{1}}h_{1}+e_{2}\dot{v_{2}}h_{2}=e_{3}\dot{v_{3}}h_{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{P_{1}}{RP_{1}}\dot{v_{1}} \ C_{p}T_{1}+ \frac{P_{2}}{RP_{2}}\dot{v_{2}} \ C_{p}T_{1}=\frac{P_{3}}{RP_{3}}\dot{v_{3}} \ C_{p}T_{3}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\dot{v_{3}}=\dot{v_{1}}+\dot{v_{2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\dot{m_{1}}}{e_{1}}+\frac{\dot{m_{2}}}{e_{2}}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\frac{10}{10\times 10^5}\times 8314\times 293+\frac{20\times 8314\times 313}{10\times 10^5}[/tex]
[tex]=76.4 \ m^3/s[/tex]
