An oxygen tank with a volume of 2.5 ft3 is kept in a room at 50 F. An engineer has used the ideal gas equation of state to determine that if the tank is first evacuated and then charged with 35.3 lbm of pure oxygen, its rated maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) will be attained. Operation at pressures above this value is considered unsafe.(a) What is the maximum allowable working pressure (psig) of the tank?(b) You suspect that at the conditions of the fully charged tank, ideal gas behavior may not be a good assumption. Use the SRK equation of state to obtain a better estimate of the maximum mass of oxygen that may be charged into the tank. Did the ideal gas assumption lead to a conservative estimate (on the safe side) or a nonconservative estimate of the amount of oxygen that couldbe charged?(c) Suppose the tank is charged and ruptures before the amount of oxygen calculated in part (b)enters it. (It should have been able to withstand pressures up to four times the MAWP.) Think of at least five possible explanations for the failure of the tank below its rated pressure limit.

Aroll in a paper machine is powered by a separately excited dc machine. operating point 1 (under load): the roll typically operates at 764 rpm and must provide 301 nm of torque to oppose the load of the paper. the armature voltage is 230v for this operating point operating point 2 (no load): when the load is removed the speed of the roll increases to 900 rpm (the field characteristics are unchanged) la ea dev m (a) calculate the maximum torque (units of nm) that the motor can supply with this applied voltage (b) calculate the value of the armature resistance, ra (in ohms) (c) at operating point 1 (loaded condition), the field current, i, and the total input power (armature field), are measured to be to be 10 a and 28,600 w respectively. use this information to calculate the value of the field resistance, rf (in ohms). (d) (d) at operating point 1 (loaded condition), calculate the motor efficiency. express your answer as a percent to at least 2 significant digits. (d) if the field voltage is reduced by 1/2, calculate the new stall torque (in nm) of the motor (f). if the field voltage is reduced by 1/2, calculate the new no-load speed (in rad/sec)

Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall. the field strength in a typical membrane is 1.0 x 10 7 n/c. what is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e? what is its acceleration? is it possible for a particle with the same charge as as calcium to have a different acceleration if placed at this location? what would change the acceleration: mass of the particle? diameter of the particle?
