Eight hundred kilograms [kg] of paint solvent will be stored to remove a paint display on a field. If the specific heat capacity of the solvent is 2200 joules per kilogram kelvin [J/(kg K)], how much energy in megajoules [MJ] is needed to increase the temperature of the solvent from −15 degrees Celsius [°C] to 10 degrees Celsius [°C]?

- Seawater can be purified by distillation into potable water. If it costs 15 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, what is the cost of energy to produce 100.0 gallons of drinking water at 100.0 ˚C if the seawater starts at 25.00 ˚C? (1 watt × 1 second = 1 joule). Enter your answer to the nearest penny.arrow_forwardCompletely solve and box the final answer. Please show the units to show the unit cancellations. Write legibly 2. During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 1,380 kpa to 138 kpa, the speed increases from 61 m/s to 305 m/s, the internal energy of the open system decreases 58.1 KJ/kg, and the specific volume increases from 0.0625 m3/kg to 0.5 m3/kg. No heat is transferred, determine the work in KW if the mass flow at the rate of 272.15 kg/hr.arrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.

- 1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year? 2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of energy growth in 2021.arrow_forwardThe amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation: where T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.arrow_forwardThe title of our study is "Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for an Autonomous Rover" we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery selection, and center of gravity computation I already sent you the image of the rover Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload) Rover measurements: Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches Height- 15.8 inches. Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer. A normal sprayer has a 12V pump and a pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa…arrow_forward
