Whether you are doing area sampling with a large, heavy, high-volume, variable-speed pump or personal sampling with a small, light-weight, lower volume, variable-speed pump attached to the worker’s belt, what two procedures are critical for proper operation of the pump for sampling (and do not use “connect to power” or “connect the tubing”) for a specific contaminant?

Consider an ideal gas-turbine cycle with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each stage of the compressor and turbine is 3. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300 K and each stage of the turbine at 1200 K. Determine the back work ratio and the thermal efficiency of the cycle, assuming (a) the expansion and compression processes to be isentropic and no regenerator is used, (b) the expansion and compression processes to be isentropic and a regenerator with 75 percent effectiveness is used, (c) assuming an efficiency of 84 percent for each compressor stage and an efficiency of 88 percent for each turbine stage and no regenerator is used, and (d) assuming an efficiency of 84 percent for each compressor stage and an efficiency of 88 percent for each turbine stage and a regenerator with 75 percent effectiveness is used. Use enthalpy values from the property tables to solve this problem.

1. Design and check for stability for a square and ground end helical spring subjected to a maximum force of 1300 N supported between flat surfaces. The deflection of the spring corresponding to the maximum force should be approximately 25mm.

15.33 A spur gear reducer has an 18-tooth pinion driven 1500 rpm by an electric motor and a 36-tooth gear that drives a load involving “moderate shock.” A life of 106 pinion revolutions is required, and the transmitted load, Ft, is 100 lb (this figure includes a
safety factor of 2). Conditions are such that Km = 1.8 and kt = 1. It is proposed that standard 20° full-depth gears be used, with both pinion and gear teeth being cut with a low-cost, average-quality, form-cutting process from steel of 235 Bhn for the gear and 260 Bhn for the pinion. Diametral pitch is to be 10, and face width 1.0 in. Estimate the reliability with respect to bending fatigue failure.

Hydrogen, acting as a van der Waals gas (EOS shown below), is compressed in an isothermal closed system process from 6.236m3/kg to 0.629m3/kg at 300K. What is the change in specific entropy of the gas? (use the entropy change relation in chapter 12)

P = RT/( v − b) − a/( v^2) (1)

a = 27R^2Tcrit^2/(64Pcrit) (2)

Following example 12-7 in the book the change in internal energy of a van der Waals gas for an isothermal process can be derived (the result is shown below). Using the definition of boundary work (wb = R P dv) and conservation of energy what is the amount of heat which is rejected by the compression process?

In line-shaft driven product machinery, torsional deflections and vibrations of the camshaft due to the time-varying torque of various cams can cause synchronization problems between the various stations on the machine. We need to design a testing machine that will measure the torsional vibration effects of dynamic torque loading on a camshaft. This machine will accommodate two cams, each of which will drive its own spring-loaded translating roller follower on a slider mechanism at speeds up to 300 rpm. These cams will be designed to give approximately opposite torque-time functions to one another. They can be used singly or in pairs to investigate the effectiveness of the addition to a production machine of a torque-balancing cam that drives a dummy load. The cams will be split to allow removal and installation without disassembling the shaft. The torque-time and follower force time functions for the primary cam are provided as an excel file P09-20 on the books website. The secondary cam will be a mirror image of the primary cam to approximately balance the torque. The camshaft in this test fixture must be designed to have torsional deflections that are large enough to be measured by 5000 count per revolution, optical shaft encoders attached at each end of the camshaft, but not so large as to fatigue fail the shaft. At the same time, we want the camshaft to be stiff in bending and have a bending natural frequency at least 10 times its torsional natural frequency to minimize any coupling effects between bending and torsional modes. Stated another way: what should the shaft diameter be to give sufficient torsional deflections to be measurable under the designed loading conditions, but not to create undesirable bending deflections or vibrations. Plain bearings should be used to avoid vibrations that would come from rolling element bearings. The test machine will be driven by a speed controlled PM DC motor through a gear reduction unit of your design. Motor selection is also your responsibility. What is required is a detailed design of a camshaft torsional vibration test machine including the camshaft, keys, follower trains, bearings, couplings, gearbox, frame and mounting hardware. infinite life is desired.
