Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?

Aheat pump that operates on the ideal vapor compression cycle with refrigerant-134a is used to heat water from 15°c to 45°c at a rate of 0.12 kg/s. the condenser and evaporator pressures are 1.4 and 0.32 mpa, respectively determine: (a) the power input to the heat pump

An array of m-50 thermoelectric modules is installed on the exhaust of a sports car. each module has an effective seebeck coefficient of sp of 0.143 5vk and an internal electrical resistance of r.-4 ? in addition, : (15 points each module is of width w 60mm and contains n=100 pairs of semiconducting pellets. each pellet hasan overall length of 2l-5mm and a cross-sectional area as 1.2 x 10'm and is characterized by a thermal conductivity of kpl2w rnk. the hot side of each module is exposed to exhaust gases at·p650c with hia4ow rrk while the osite side of each module is cooled by pressurized water at surface) and 156 °c (at the cool surface). 11s c with h: -500w/m'k. the modules are wired n series and the load resistance is r d=400ohm .the module surface temperatures, t, and ts are 183 "c (at the hot surface and 156c (at the cool surface) a)-draw a schematic of this scenario and label all parts. a. b. if the induced current, i, is 0.15 amps, what is the total power (pa) for one module? c. what is the total power harvest from the exhaust with all 50 modules?
