Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Qualifying Exam Energy and Fluids ‘Thermodynamies and Heat Transfer Question - 1 Hour In this problem I am looking for you (1) to be able to identify the important physical processes that affect performance, (2) to have some judgement on what processes are important, (3) to be able to reduce the processes to an analytical model that allows you to say something quantitative about the performance of the system. I will be looking for evidence of mature engineering judgement more than I will be looking for the "correct" numerical answer. As such, you should document clearly your thoughts, assumptions, etc. Note that I cannot grade what I cannot understand, so be clear with descriptions, equations, etc. Show me what principles you are applying rather than just writing equations down. Sun O 800 Wim42 Solar Photovoltaic Surface baobab iababddbalall Insulated Backing Cooling Tubes ‘The efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels depends strongly on panel temperature, with the efficiency decreasing as panel temperature increases. This effect is strong enough to lead one to consider some kind of panel cooling strategy. Consider a flat, horizontal panel that is 1 m* in surface area. The sun is 60° above the horizon, and provides a solar flux of 800 W/m*. There is a mean horizontal wind speed of 3 mvs at the site, and the environment is at 20-C. ‘The pane! has a 90% absortivity of radiation at solar wavelengths, and it's emissivity for thermal radiation is 0.8. 1. Find the equilibrium temperature of the panel when it is tumed off (i.., no electrical work is. extracted) and when no cooling is applied. 2. The efficiency of the panel is given by the following equation: nan, - eT Here, the efficiency is defined as the electrical power leaving the panel divided by the power of the incident solar radiation, expressed as a percent. 1j=24%, £,=0.25%/°C, and T is the panel ture in °C. ‘When the panel is turned on, find the new equilibrium temperature and the electric power generated. 3. A source of cold water (10°C) is available that could be used to cool the panel. Copper tubes are placed in the panel through which this water can be passed. Sufficient water is passed through the panel to drop its average temperature to 20°C (i., the outlet water temperature is 30°C). Find the mass flow rate of the water and the electric power generated. oD Energy and Fluids Qualifying Exam Question Professor Gessner Autumn Quarter 2003 Note: This exam is to be taken on an open book, but closed notes and no crib sheet basis. Consider a circular cylinder fitted with a relatively long, concentric piston, as shown in the figure below: 0,061 wen Carp wat), Paeinr® LOL kPen. Tatra 1S 8C cyhndor Alorfice diameter) a ‘The piston weighs 0.05 N and falls slowly with a constant velocity of 0.1 m/s down the cylinder. This downward motion is resisted by viscous effects on the air in the 0.001 mm gap between the piston and cylinder, both of whose surfaces are smooth. ‘The temperature of the air throughout the system stays constant at 15° C as the piston descends, and flow exits through a small orifice on the chamber wall. The pressure ‘on the top of the piston is atmospheric pressure at 101 kPa and 15° C. Other pertinent data are as shown on the figure. Answer the following questions for the condition when the bottom of the piston has not yet reached the orifice location. State all of your assumptions before doing any > calculations. (a) Is the air pressure in the chamber constant or does it vary with time? If the chamber pressure is constant, calculate its numerical value in kPa (absolute). (b) Is the exiting orifice flow rate constant or does it vary with vary time? If the exiting flow rate is constant, calculate its numerical value in m’/s and the exit diameter of the orifice in mm. At some instant of time during its descent, the piston is “pinned” (fixed) in its vertical position and the orifice is plugged. At that time, leakage flow, begins to ‘occur through the small gap between the piston and cylinder, and the chamber pressure, initially at the value calculated in part (a), decays so slowly that quasi- steady (steady-state) flow conditions can be assumed for a given pressure differential between the top and bottom surfaces ofthe piston. Calculate the air flow rate through -the gap in (mm)"/s at a time when the chamber pressure has decayed to 50% of its initial value.

The influence of many factors, such as cost, ‘moldability, coefficient of friction, weathering, impact strength, and the effect of fillers and reinforcements, must be considered, Manufacturers’ catalogs will be found ‘quite helpful in making possible selections. NOTCH SENSITIVITY In See. 2-14 it was pointed out thatthe existence of irregularities or discontinuities, such as holes, grooves, or notches, ina par increases the theoretical stresses signifi cantly in the immediate vicinity ofthe discontinuity. And Bq. (2-48) defined a stress oncenvation factor K, which i used with the nominal stress to obtain the maximum resulting stress due tothe iregularity or defect It turns ou that some materials are not fully sensitive to the presence of notches and hence, for these, a reduced valve of K, can be used, For these materials, the maximum stress is, in fact, nun = Kyo (528) where Ky is a reduced value of K, and og is the nominal stess. The factor Ky is commonly called farigue siress-concentration factor, and hence the subscript f but Wve shall find many instances when its use is indicated where only static stresses are presen. So itis convenient to think of Ks astress-concentration factor reduced from I, because of lessened sensitivity to notches. The resulting factor is defined by the equation cp < maimum suess in notched specimen ‘ {= ~~ Suress in notch-free specimen @) Notch sensitivity q is defined by the equation x ® where g is usually between zero and unity. Equation (b) shows that if q = 0, then Ky = 1, and the material has no sensitivity to notches at all. On the other hand, if q = 1, then K,= K,, and the material has full notch sensitivity. In analysis or design work, find K, first from the geometry of the part. Then specify the material, find q, and solve for Ky from the equation Ky=1+qK,-D (5-26) For steels and 2024 aluminum alloys, use Fig. 5-16 to find q for bending and axial loading. For shear loading, use Fig. 5-17. In using these charts itis well to know that the actual test results from which the curves were derived exhibit a large amount of scatter. Because of this scatter it is always safe to use Ky=K, if there is any doubt ‘about the true value of g. Also, note that q is not far from unity for large notch radii. “The notch sensitivity of the cast irons is very low, varying from 0 to about 0.20, depending upon the tensile strength. To be on the conservative side, it is recommended that the value q = 0.20 be used for all grades of cast iron FIGURE 5-16 Notch-sensivty chats for stools fand UNS A92024-T wrought at: ‘minum alloys subjected 10 r- versed bending of reversed axial toads.

Suppose we decompose the normal principal stresses into the ‘components a= oir ot on = oh + 0% @ a= 05+ 0% such that ® “The stresses in Eq. (b) are called the hydrostatic components since they are equal. If it should happen that oj = a} =o = 0, then the three shear stresses, given by Eq. (6-7), would all be zero and there could be no yielding regardless of the magnitudes of the hydrostatic stresses. Thus the hydrostatic components have no effect on the size of, the Mohr’s circle but merely serve to shift it along the notmal-stress axis. Its for this reason that the yielding criterion for the general stress state can be represented by the oblique regular hexagonal cylinder of Fig. 6-18. Figure 6-19 illustrates the theory for biaxial stresses. THE STRAIN-ENERGY THEORIES ‘The maximum-strain-energy theory predicts that failure by yielding occurs when the total strain energy in a unit volume reaches or exceeds the strain energy in the same volume corresponding 10 the yield strength in tension or in compression. ‘The strain energy stored in a unit volume when stressed uniaxially to the yield strength can be found from Eq.

This element is subjected to pure angular distortion, that is, no volume change. Equation (b) gives the total strain energy for the element of Fig. 6-20a.

The approach to be used here employs an effective dimension d, obtained by equating the volume of material stressed at and above 95 percent of the maximum stress to the same volume in the rotating- beam specimen.t It turns out that when these wo volumes are equated, the lengths cancel, and so we need only consider the areas.
