You do a simple experiment at home with the plastic body of a syringe, where you close the exit with one thumb, and push in the plunger with your other thumb. You are able to compress the air inside the syringe from 5ml to 1ml. Assume that you hold the plunger for long enough such that the temperature equalizes to ambient conditions.

Required:
a. Given that the circular plunger's diameter is 1.5cm, how much force is being exerted to hold the plunger in the compressed state?
b. Given that the opening of the syringe has a diameter of 2mm, how much force is exerted on the thumb used to trap the air from escaping?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 89.5 N b. 1.59 N

Explanation:

a. Given that the circular plunger's diameter is 1.5cm, how much force is being exerted to hold the plunger in the compressed state?

Using Boyle's law, we find the final pressure at the compressed state given that the initial pressure is atmospheric pressure

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ where P₁ = initial atmospheric pressure in syringe = 1 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m²,V₁ = initial volume of syringe = 5 ml, P₂ = final pressure in syringe at compression and V₂ = final volume of syringe = 1 ml

So, making P₂ subject of the formula, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m² × 5 ml/1 ml

P₂ = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m² × 5

P₂ = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²

Since pressure, P = F/A where F = force and A = cross-sectional area of syringe = πd²/4 where d = diameter of syringe = 1.5 cm = 1.5 × 10⁻² m.

So, F = PA

F = P₂πd²/4

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F = P₂πd²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(1.5 × 10⁻² m)²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(2.25 × 10⁻⁴ m²)/4

F = 35.8 × 10/4 N

F = 8.95 × 10

F = 89.5 N

b. Given that the opening of the syringe has a diameter of 2mm, how much force is exerted on the thumb used to trap the air from escaping?

Since the pressure in the syringe after compression is constant, we have

P₂ = F₁/A₁ where F₁ = force exerted on thumb and A₁ = cross-sectional area of  opening of syringe = πd₁²/4 where d = diameter of opening of syringe = 2 mm = 2 × 10⁻³ m.

So, F₁ = P₂A₁

F = P₂πd₁²/4

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F = P₂πd²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(2 × 10⁻³ m)²/4

F = 5.065 × 10⁵ N/m²π(4 × 10⁻⁶ m²)/4

F = 15.91 × 10⁻¹

F = 1.591 N

F ≅ 1.59 N

A rectangular channel 3.0 m wide has a flow rate of 5.0 m3/s with a normal depth of 0.50 m. The flow then encounters a dam that rises 0.25 m above the channel bottom. Will a hydraulic jump occur?

Answers

Answer:

The hydraulic will jump since the flow is subcritical ( i.e. Y2 > Yc )

Explanation:

width of channel = 3.0 m

Flow rate = 5 m^3/s

Normal depth = 0.50 m

Flow encounters a dam rise of 0.25 m

To know if the hydraulic jump will occur

we will Determine the new normal depth

Y2 = 3.77m

Yc ( critical depth )= 0.66m

to a load of 6660 N. If the length of the rod is 380 mm, what must be the diameter to allow an

elongation of 0.50 mm?

Answers

Answer:

"7.654 mm" is the correct solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

[tex]E=110\times 10^3 \ N/mm^2[/tex][tex]\sigma_y = 240 \ mPa[/tex][tex]P = 6660 \ N[/tex][tex]L = 380 \ mm[/tex][tex]\delta = 0.5 \ mm[/tex]

Now,

As we know,

The Elongation,

⇒ [tex]E=\frac{\sigma}{e}[/tex]

       [tex]=\frac{\frac{P}{A} }{\frac{\delta}{L} }[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]\delta=\frac{PL}{AE}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

 [tex]0.5=\frac{6660\times 380}{(\frac{\pi}{4}D^2)(110\times 10^3)}[/tex]

then,

⇒ [tex]D^2=58.587[/tex]

     [tex]D=\sqrt{58.587}[/tex]

         [tex]=7.654 \ mm[/tex]

Consider a turbofan engine installed on an aircraft flying at an altitude of 5500m. The CPR is 12 and the inlet diameter of this engine is 2.0m The bypass ratio of this engine 8. The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. The inlet temperature is 253K and the outlet temperature is 233K. Determine the thrust of this engine in order to fly at the velocity of 250 m/s. Assume cold air approach. The engine is ideal.

Answers

Answer:

The thrust of the engine calculated using the cold air is 34227.35 N

Explanation:

For the turbofan engine, firstly the overall mass flow rate is considered. The mass flow rate is given as

[tex]\dot{m}=\rho AV_a[/tex]

Here

ρ is the density which is given as [tex]\dfrac{P}{RT}[/tex]P is the pressure of air at 5500 m from the ISA whose value is 50506.80 PaR is the gas constant whose value is 286.9 J/kg.KT is the temperature of the inlet which is given as 253 KA is the cross-sectional area of the inlet which is given by using the diameter of 2.0 mV_a is the velocity of the aircraft which is given as 250 m/s

So the equation becomes

[tex]\dot{m}=\rho AV_a\\\dot{m}=\dfrac{P}{RT} AV_a\\\dot{m}=\dfrac{50506.80}{286.9\times 253} \times (\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 2^2)\times 250\\\dot{m}=546.4981\ kgs^{-1}[/tex]

Now in order to find the flow from the fan, the Bypass ratio is used.

[tex]\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{BPR}{BPR+1}\times \dot{m}[/tex]

Here BPR is given as 8 so the equation becomes

[tex]\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{BPR}{BPR+1}\times \dot{m}\\\dot{m}_f=\dfrac{8}{8+1}\times 546.50\\\dot{m}_f=485.77\ kgs^{-1}[/tex]

Now the exit velocity is calculated using the total energy balance which is given as below:

[tex]h_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=h_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2[/tex]

Here

h_4 and h_5 are the enthalpies at point 4 and 5 which could be rewritten as [tex]c_pT_4[/tex] and [tex]c_pT_5[/tex] respectively.The value of T_4 is the inlet temperature which is 253 KThe value of T_5 is the outlet temperature which is 233KThe value of c_p is constant which is 1005 J/kgKV_a is the inlet velocity which is 250 m/sV_e is the outlet velocity that is to be calculated.

So the equation becomes

[tex]h_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=h_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2\\c_pT_4+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2=c_pT_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2[/tex]

Rearranging the equation gives

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2=c_pT_4-c_pT_5+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2\\\dfrac{1}{2}V_e^2=c_p(T_4-T_5)+\dfrac{1}{2}V_a^2\\V_e^2=2c_p(T_4-T_5)+V_a^2\\V_e=\sqrt{2c_p(T_4-T_5)+V_a^2}\\V_e=\sqrt{2\times 1005\times (253-233)+(250)^2}\\V_e=320.46 m/s[/tex]

Now using  the cold air approach, the thrust is given as follows

[tex]T=\dot{m}_f(V_e-V_a)\\T=485.77\times (320.46-250)\\T=34227.35\ N[/tex]

So the thrust of the engine calculated using the cold air is 34227.35 N

A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is manufactured using 80 vol% aramid fiber (a kevlar-like compound) embedded nylon 6-6. A part for a high-performance aircraft utilizes this composite. If the part experiences 953 lb-f (pounds force) along the fiber alignment axis, what is the force conveyed by the fibers ?

Answers

Answer:

the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V_f = 80% = 0.8

V_m = 1 - V_f = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

Now,

length of fibre L_f = length of Nylon L_n

V_f = A_f × L_f = 0.8

V_m = A_n × L_n = 0.2

so

V_f/V_m = A_f/A_n = 0.8/0.2

A_f/A_n = 4

now, the strains in fibre is equal to strains in nylon

(P/AE)f = (P/AE)n

P_f/A_fE_f = P_n/A_nE_n

P_f = (A_f/A_n)(E_f/E_n)(P_n)    

P_f = ( 4 )( 131 / 2.8 )(Pn)  

P_f = 187.14Pn

and P_n = Pf / 187.14

Hence

given that P_total = 953 lb-f

P_f + P_n = 953

P_f + ( P_f / 187.14 ) = 953

P_f( 1 + ( 1 / 187.14 ) ) = 953

P_f( 1.00534359 = 953

P_f = 953 / 1.00534359

P_f = 947.93 lb-f

Therefore, the force conveyed by the fibers is 947.93 lb-f
