An air stream

dot{M}_L = 5.5 kg/s,

cp_L=1 kJ/(kgK)

is to be heated in a plate heat exchanger from

θ_L′=20∘C

θ_L′′=150∘C

. For this purpose, a flue gas stream

dot{M}_R = 7.22

cp_R=1.1 kJ/(kgK)

with a temperature of

θ_R′=300∘C

is available. The overall heat transfer coefficient is

W/(m^2*K)

.
What is the required heating surface AAA if the fluid streams are arranged in counterflow?

a. 281,7 m^2

b. 314,12 m^2

c. 328,1 m^2

Calculate the gravitational potential energy of a 4 kg object at 15 m above Earth’s surface with gravitational field strength of 9.81 N/kg. Give answer to three significant figures in J.

3 / 10

A spring in a church clock has a spring constant of 10 N/m. What is its elastic potential energy store if it is stretched 8 m? Give answer in Joules to three significant figures.

4 / 10

The Wet Skid Pad World Record was set at FSN2019 by TU Delft. They managed to set a time of 4.901 for the left circle and a time of 5.031 for the right circle. Assume the run was completed perfectly along the center line of the circles. What was their average speed during this record run? Give answer to two decimal places in mph.

5 / 10

An object is fired vertically upwards from the ground at time t = 0 s in still air at a speed of 8.0 m/s. On the way up, what is the height of the object above the ground when it has a speed of 2.0 m/s. At what time does it reach this height on the way down? Give both answers separated by a comma to one decimal place.

6 / 10

A cantilever is subjected to forces

. Determine the bar force

F_{S 8}

Given F1=F4=F, F2=F3=2F, a

a. 2.85F

b. -6F

c. 7.27F

7 / 10

Using an indicator, the cylinder pressure can be plotted as a curve over the piston stroke. The curve recorded for the compression stroke of an internal combustion engine can be approximated by the relationship p⋅V^n=const..
What is the amount of work done by the volume change if the following values are given?

given: V_1=10^-3 m^3; p_1=0.1 MPa; p_2=3 MPa; n=1.3

Round to one decimal number seperated by a point. Input in Joul without writing the unit in the field below (example: 152.9).

p2 = p1 * (V1/V2)^gamma
gamma= 1.4

8 / 10

An air as an ideal gas expands adiabatic from a volume of V1 = 1,00l with its pressure of p1 = 10^5 Pa to 1/10 of its original pressure. What volume V2 (in litres) does the gas reach after it’s expansion? Round to two decimal places

9 / 10

A lorry contains an engine with a power of 0.255 W. The lorry drives for 51 s. Calculate the energy transferred in Joules and round to one decimal places.

10 / 10

A racing car rolls to a stop on a horizontal course with an initial speed of v. It decelerates
only by friction with a rolling resistance of μF, which is supposed to be independent of
the current velocity.
What is the distance s the car needs to stop?
v = 230mph, μF = 0.17, g = 9.81 m/s2.
Give your answer in meters, rounded to four significant places.
