6.15. In an attempt to conserve water and to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a 20

,000-liter cistern has been installed during construction of a new building. The cistern collects water from an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system designed to provide 2830 cubic meters of air per minute at 22°C and 50% relative humidity after converting it from ambient conditions (31°C, 70% relative humidity). The collected condensate serves as the source of water for lawn maintenance. Estimate (a) the rate of intake of air at ambient conditions in cubic feet per minute and (b) the hours of operation required to fill the cistern

Explanation:

At a temperature of 33^{\circ} C and relative humidity of 86%, the humidity ratio stands at 0.0223 with a specific volume of 14.289.

At a temperature of 33^{\circ} C and relative humidity of 40%, the humidity ratio is 0.0066 while the specific volume is 13.535.

To determine the mass of air, the following formula can be used:

\begin{aligned}m _{1} &=\frac{ v }{ v }(1- w ) \\&=\frac{1 \times 10^{5}}{13.535}(1-0.0066) \\&=7339.49 lb / min \\v _{ a } &=\frac{ m _{1} v }{(1- w )} \\v _{ a } &=\frac{7339.49 \times 14.289}{(1-0.0223)} \\v _{ a } &=107266.0 ft ^{3} / min\end{aligned}

Now, we will calculate the volume

\begin{aligned}m _{ w } &=\frac{ v _{ a }}{ v _{ a }} w _{ a }-\frac{ v _{ i }}{ v _{ i }} w _{ i } \\&=\frac{107266.0}{14.289} \times 0.0223-\frac{100000}{13.535} \times 0.0066 \\&=118.64 lb / min\end{aligned}

The duration required to fill the cistern can be determined with the equation:

Time \(=\frac{\text { cistern volume }}{\text { removal water perminute volume }}\)

By substituting the values into the preceding formula, we find:

\(\frac{\left(15 \times 10^{3} L\right) \times\left(0.0353147 ft ^{3} / L \right)}{(118.641 b / min ) \times\left(\frac{1}{62.41 lb / ft ^{3}}\right)}\)\\\(=279.09\) minutes\\\(=4.65\) hours.

Thus, the hours necessary to fill the cistern amount to 4.65 hours.

Kisachek [217]

Answer:

a) F = 736.065\,lbf, b) \mu_{k} = 0.15

Explanation:

a) The uniform dresser can be modeled using specific equilibrium equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = F - \mu_{k}\cdot N = 0

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g=0

Following some algebraic manipulations, the formulated equation is derived:

F = \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g

F = (0.25)\cdot (90\,lbm)\cdot (32.714\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} )

F = 22.5\,lbf

b) Similarly, the man can be represented by a set of equilibrium equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = -F + \mu_{k}\cdot N = 0

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g=0

After some algebraic changes, the expression for the coefficient of static friction comes out as:

\mu_{k} = \frac{F}{m\cdot g}

\mu_{k} = \frac{22.5\,lbf}{150\,lbf}

\mu_{k} = 0.15

A 227 pound compressor is supported by four legs that contact the floor of a machine shop. At the bottom of each leg there is a
choli [191]

Answer:

1.312 in

Explanation:

The details provided in the question are:

The weight of the compressor, W is 227 pounds.

It has 4 legs.

The maximum permissible pressure is 42 psi.

Let F represent the force exerted by each leg.

Thus,

W = 4F,

or

227 pounds = 4F,

implying that:

F = 56.75 pounds.

Furthermore,

Force = Pressure × Area,

therefore:

56.75 pounds = 42 psi × πr²  [ r signifies the radius of one leg]

Consequently, we find:

r² = 0.4301,

and thus:

r = 0.656;

resulting in a diameter equal to 2r = 2 × 0.656,

which equals 1.312 in.

A spherical hot-air balloon is initially filled with air at 120 kPa and 20°C with an initial diameter of 5 m. Air enters this ba
mote1985 [204]

Answer:

The duration is 17.43 minutes.

Explanation:

Based on the provided information, the initial diameter is 5 m

the velocity is 3 m/s

and the final diameter is 17 m.

To find the solution, we will use the volume change equation expressed as

ΔV = \frac{4}{3} \pi * (rf)^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi * (ri)^3.............1

where ΔV represents the change in volume, rf is the final radius, and ri is the initial radius.

Calculating ΔV yields

ΔV = \frac{4}{3} \pi * (8.5)^3 - \frac{4}{3} \pi * (2.5)^3

ΔV = 2507 m³.

Thus,

Q = velocity × Area

Q = 3 × π ×(0.5)² = 2.356 m³/s.

Next, the change in time can be expressed as

Δt = \frac{\Delta V}{Q}

Δt = \frac{2507}{2.356}

Δt = 1046 seconds.

Therefore, the total change in time amounts to 17.43 minutes.

Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel electric set cost $160,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and
grin007 [219]

Answer:

total expense for the new boiler = $229706.825

total expense for new boiler = $127512

Explanation:

provided information

initial power p1 = 80 kW

price C = $160000

cost index CI 1 = 187

cost index CI 2= 194

capacity factor f = 0.6

subsequent power p2 = 120 kW

present cost = $18000

to determine

total expense and cost for 40 kW

solution

we evaluate CN cost for the new boiler and CO cost for the existing boiler

where x represents the capacity of the new boiler

first we compute the current cost of the old boiler which is

current cost CO = C × \frac{CI 1 }{CI 2 }.............1

substituting the value here

current cost = 160000 × \frac{194 }{187 }

updated current cost = $165989.304

and

employing power sizing strategy for 124 kW

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}...............2

insert value and calculate CN

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}  

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{120}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 211706.825

therefore the new expense = $211706.825

hence

total expense for the new boiler amounts to

total expense = new expense + current cost

total exp = 211706.825 + 18000

boiler expense total = $229706.825

and

concerning a 40 kW unit, the calculated new cost will be

applying equation 2

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{40}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 109512

thus the new cost is $109512

therefore

total expense for the new boiler is

total exp = new cost + current cost

total expense = 109512 + 18000

total cost for the new boiler = $127512
